    3. You talk openly about your views on relationships.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You discuss the relationship \u201crules\u201d that matter to both of you and look for common ground on important issues. This includes the type of relationship you want\u2014whether monogamous, open, or something else\u2014as well as your shared values and what each of you considers a deal-breaker. Being able to discuss expectations openly<\/strong> helps you understand whether you want the same things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. The relationship progresses at a pace that feels right.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You don\u2019t feel rushed or pressured. You can say \u201cno\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m not ready yet,\u201d and they respect your response without making you feel guilty or uncomfortable. A pace that feels right leaves room for both people\u2019s boundaries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. They speak respectfully about their past relationships.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    6. They treat you with respect.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    They respect your work, interests, hobbies, friendships, appearance, and personal style. They don\u2019t criticize or undermine you, make you justify your choices, or suggest that you need to change something about yourself.

    7. They give you attention, but not too much.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    They take the initiative and show that they care, but they don\u2019t overwhelm you with constant messages, calls, or surprises.

    8. You can discuss concerns openly.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    9. You feel seen and heard.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    With them, you feel valued and respected. They listen to you, recognize what matters to you, and accept you as you are. Feeling seen and heard means feeling that your thoughts, feelings, and identity matter in the relationship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
