How to pick a winner, not a wiener
Don’t settle for less! Although nobody’s perfect, you owe it to yourself to have high standards in your choice of boyfriend/girlfriend. Does the person you’re dating demonstrate these qualities?
- Honesty: being truthful, no lies or half-truths.
- Faithfulness: trustworthy, does what they say they’ll do, doesn’t talk behind your back.
- Respectfulness: treats you and others with kindness, isn’t rude or offensive.
- Generosity: thinking more of someone else’s needs rather than their own.
- Authenticity: being sincere, genuine and reliable.
- Perseverance: doing what they set out to do and then finishing what they’ve started even when it’s difficult.
- Patience: putting up with difficulties without complaining, bearing with faults in others.
- Humor: ability to be joyful, light-hearted and fun.
- Communication: being able to talk about feelings, dreams and goals.
- Compatibility: similar values, beliefs and lifestyles.
