1. Take the time to reflect on your own needs and values. Make sure you know both what you need and want in a partner. Know what relationship deal-breakers you have and what your top priorities are.
2. Communicate openly with your potential partner. Talk about your expectations for the relationships and make sure you’re on the same page.
3. Get to know each other on a deeper level. Ask questions about their past and ask about their goals for the future. Have convos about your values and beliefs to see if they’re similar, too.
4. Spend time together in a variety of settings. Go on romantic dates, go on a group outing with friends, and do shared activities together so you can see your partner in an array of different situations.
5. Take things slow and don’t rush into anything. Really know your partner first before taking things seriously and make sure you both are ready for a serious relationship.
