What Do You Want in A Relationship?

​The best relationships are the ones that make you feel like you can be yourself. The relationships that make you feel comfortable around your partner and they don't make you change who you are to suit their idea of perfect. But how do you know whether or not someone makes you feel this way? There are many things to consider before getting into a relationship with someone. These six things will help you decide if the person in question is worth your time.

6 Things To Consider Before Getting Into A Relationship:

1) Do they make you happy?
This is the most important thing to consider when considering being in a relationship. A partner should make you feel valued, appreciated, and loved. If they don't make you happy or if they put you down, they're not worth your time.

2) Do they respect your time?
​Your time can be valuable to you, so your partner must respect it. Don't get into a relationship with them if your partner doesn't respect your time or is always making plans without asking how long it will take for you to do something first.

3) Do they make an effort?
This ties back to respecting your time. But in addition to that, this person should be making an effort to make sure the two of you are on the same page regarding goals and values. They should try their hardest to meet deadlines and think about how their actions affect you and them.
 
4) Are they supportive?
​Like we said before, people who are worth your time will try their best to understand where you're coming from and won't expect perfection from you or vice versa. If someone never supports or tries to understand what's going on with where you're coming from but instead expects perfection from yourself at all times without understanding anything about yourself first

5) How do they make you feel?
The number one thing to consider before getting into a relationship is how the person makes you feel. Does this person make you happy? Do they make you feel good about yourself? If the answer is yes, that is an excellent sign that they are worth your time. You should feel comfortable around them, and they shouldn't make you feel bad about yourself. They should do more than make you feel good about who you are and make you want to be with them.

6) What are their beliefs about love and relationships?
The best way to know if someone is worth your time is to talk about their goals in life. What are their beliefs about love and relationships? Compatibility is an important component in a long lasting relationship. Before getting into a relationship with someone, you should discuss this with them. Find out what they believe about love and relationships. For example, if they believe that you should give a lot of attention and time to this person in a committed relationship, then this person could be relying on the relationship for confidence. You don't want to spend any more time on someone who has different values than you do or who would drain your energy. These beliefs will affect how the relationship progresses down the road, so it's essential to find out what they are early on. (we talk about this in depth in the Happily Ever After Masterclass)

Talk with the person in question about their goals in life before getting into a serious commitment with them. If they have different values than you do, don't get involved with them because it won't end well for either of you if their plans don't align with yours and your priorities change over time.

Here are some things to consider below whether or not to keep the relationship:

​
Do they prioritize time with you?

​If you're always initiating plans, or if they never make time for you in their schedule, then this person is not worth your time. The best relationships are when both partners put each other first and prioritize spending time together. If someone is always too busy to spend time with you, then they don't care about making you a priority in their life.

​Are they trustworthy?

​First of all, if your partner is not trustworthy, you cannot have a healthy relationship with them. Trust is the foundation for any relationship and is essential to building a solid connection. A lack of trust can lead to disagreements and fights, so it's vital to establish early on if they are someone you can trust.

​
Is your relationship one-sided?

​If you feel like you are always the one to initiate contact with your partner, you may feel like they're on a different page than you. If you don't feel like your relationship is equal, the other person probably doesn't make you feel like yourself.
 
People who make you feel like you can be your true self will not make all the decisions without consulting you first. They'll listen to what you say and won't tell you how to live your life. You might not always agree on everything, but there must be room for compromise and understanding.
 
The best relationships are those where both people can be themselves. This is where mutual respect comes in. If this isn't a part of your relationship, it's not worth pursuing further.
