Are you dating a new person you met at Black Tie Moving? Perhaps you’ve wondered if they are the one for you. It’s impossible to know for sure, but there are some signs you can look for to see if someone could be a good fit in your life.
Here are 5 signs they are ready for a relationship. Let’s get into it!
Consistency
Consistency is one of the hallmarks of a healthy relationship. So, can you tell if someone is being consistent or not? One of the biggest markers is that their actions match their words.
It’s easy for someone to say something to you, but their follow through is a whole different level. Words are meaningless unless there is intention and follow through with them.
If you never find your partner going back on what they said, this is a good marker they are the one for you. This means they are authentic, and don’t want to let you down.
Safe Space
Feeling safe in a relationship is paramount. If you feel as if you can’t communicate with your partner for fear of judgment or being misunderstood, you may want to reconsider if they are the person for you.
A safe space in a relationship means that you are free to express who you are – the good, bad, and the ugly. All relationships come with challenges, but if you don’t feel comfortable opening up to your partner it’s a clear sign you don’t feel safe with them.
They Support You
Support is vital to any relationship. We all go through ups and downs throughout our lives, and one of the wonderful benefits of a healthy relationship is you have someone by your side through it all.
Sometimes all you need is someone to listen to you, and you feel as if they truly care what you have to say. Support comes in all shapes and sizes. If you find that your partner is always there for you, you probably want to keep them around!
They Challenge You in Healthy Ways
While support is important in any relationship, this doesn’t translate to agreeability. You don’t want your partner to side with you on absolutely everything – as much as you may feel that you want that.
In order for anyone to grow, we have to be challenged to think and act in new ways. Healthy relationships promote growth through consistent communication. If your significant other probes you with questions that inspire new ways of thinking, this is a wonderful indicator that they may be the one for you.
Respect
Respect is key to any relationship you have in life. If you aren’t respected, this could turn into a form of verbal or emotional abuse. It’s important that you make sure you have this in your relationship.
You’ll want to find a partner who listens without projecting their own fears onto you. If they respect you, they will see you as an individual without placing heavy expectations of who you need to be.
