You want to find that great man you just know is out there waiting for you.
You date and date… Then suddenly one shows up who has long term relationship potential going for him.
And then you ask yourself… “How do I know if he’s a good man for me?” The answer is simple…start by asking yourself these five questions about your new guy.
Question #1 – Do you like who he is?
It’s so easy to get caught up in the chemistry when you first meet someone. And when an intimate relationship happens quickly, it’s even harder to figure out who he is.
So it helps when you take a moment to step back and ask yourself questions about a man. Questions like… Do you like the way he treats you or the way he treats others in the world? Do you like how the two of you communicate together? Do you think he’s cute? Is he interesting?
Believe it or not, it’s easier to fall in love than like, yet like will be the main ingredient for the long-term relationship success you’re probably looking for.
Question #2 – Do you respect him?
It’s pretty hard to be with a man you don’t respect. Otherwise you’ll have a tendency to look down your nose at him and think he’s a little “less than” he should be for you.
A man wants and needs your respect. So it’s important if you want to be with him, that you’re able to respect him for exactly who he is and how he handles his life.
Also take the time to discover whether you share similar values. He needs to have the values you want for you to be happy together.
Question #3 – Do you have fun being together?
This may seem like a funny question, but being with Mr. Right should be fun for you. Hopefully he brings a smile to your face and makes you laugh. After the intense chemistry fades, you want someone in your life you enjoy being with.
Question #4 – Do you like and want the same things in life?
Some people say opposites attract. But dating is so much easier when you have activities you can share. You’ll want activities of your own. Don’t give up what you love to do because you’re in a relationship. He needs his own interests too, as well as the two of you participating in activities together.
If something in your life is really important to you such as family and friends, choose a man who’ll feel the same way. You want a man who slips easily into your life and you into his.

Question #5 – Does he accept you for who you are?
I can’t tell you the number of women who’ve shared this with me – they literally changed or gave up major pieces of themselves to please the man in their life. As a woman over 50, you want a man who can love, cherish and adore you just the way you are. If he’s trying to change you, maybe he’s not the right man for you.
These 5 questions really can’t be answered on your first date. Allow yourself some time to get to know a man, especially if he’s a nice one with a kind and compassionate heart.
If you find you aren’t getting a yes to all 5, you may be settling. Remember, there are lots of men out there to date and there is one who’ll be a great fit for you. He’s worth waiting for!
Until next time~
