I’ll Know I’ve Found The One When He Checks Off These Boxes

Recently, I had a heart-to-heart with my grandma about relationships. I’ve been single for a while, with some lackluster ones before, so naturally, she’s worried.

You might be thinking: “What could someone from her generation possibly know about today’s dating scene?” After all, things were quite different back then.

But believe me, she has insights that surpass any of ours. Truthfully, I’m still figuring out who I’m meant to grow old with.

For as long as I can remember, my expectations have either been sky-high or non-existent. Of course, when I’m into a guy, I often overlook his flaws.

He doesn’t need to be super ambitious or incredibly handsome. If he gives me that excited feeling every time he looks at me, that’s usually enough.

But on the flip side, when I’m with someone who doesn’t spark that excitement, suddenly everything he does bothers me. That’s when my standards soar and nothing seems right.

Well, my grandma shared some incredible advice. She said I’ll know I’ve found the right one when he ticks all these boxes. So, I’m sharing her wisdom here.

He is loyal

When searching for your perfect match, you want someone who stays committed forever. You don’t want him chasing other girls or sneaking around.

This should be obvious in any relationship. But my grandma emphasizes that loyalty matters more than mere fidelity.

A loyal man is inherently faithful. He won’t risk damaging your trust, will stand up for your relationship, and ensure it stays strong.

He makes you feel safe

The next vital trait your lifelong partner should have is making you feel secure. Forget about playing games or confusing signals.

With him, you’ll feel fully supported, no matter what. You won’t live in constant anxiety.

You won’t worry he might leave when a more attractive woman walks by. You won’t fear he’ll abandon you if you gain weight or as you age.

He isn’t threatened by you

Historically, men struggled with having a more educated or successful wife.

You might assume things have changed, but sadly, many men still feel threatened by their partners’ success. They’ve just gotten better at concealing their insecurities.

This is why your Mr. Right should be proud of all your achievements. He should feel lucky to have an ambitious woman by his side.

He’ll support and encourage you instead of holding you back. Only by his side will you reach your greatest potential.

He is your best friend

At the end of the day, what you really want is your best friend by your side after a long day. You need someone who understands you and loves you no matter what.

So instead of just seeking a lover, find a true friend. Someone who makes you laugh and wipes away your tears.

Find your person, a man who’ll be your light on dark days. He’ll be there through thick and thin, in sickness and health, and on good and bad days.

To Wrap Up

Forget the notion that you have to choose between intense emotions and compatibility. Don’t think that this man won’t set your heart racing.

Trust me, you can have it all!
