Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Consider some of your girl friends romantically. Think of the ones who support you when you’re going through a crisis, offer help whenever you need it or make sweet gestures like bringing you a latte in the morning or picking you up from work.
Step2
Participate in activities where you might meet a compassionate, understanding girlfriend. Attend church functions to find a girl with the same faith and values. Volunteer with local charities, hospitals, animal shelter or children’s groups, for example.
Step3
Study how she treats and gets along with others. How kind, patient and supportive she is with her sibling, parents, friends and total strangers may be a testament to how caring a girlfriend she’ll be.
Step4
Gauge her sincerity by observing if she tells the truth, makes an excuse or lies when confronted about a mistake. Listen to how she talks about other people when they’re not around. Trustworthiness and honesty are keys to an understanding relationship.
Step5
Treat her with the same thoughtfulness that you’d like her to show you once you do find the ideal girlfriend. Foster a nurturing relationship with great communication, mutual respect and the freedom to be yourself.
