Here’s the “411” on how to tell if you’re really a good catch (your momma’s opinion aside):
1. Are You a “Real Grown-Up? This means void of mental games, and minus the bragging about your “conquests”. It also means letting go of excess baggage from former lovers. Recognize that sometimes love hurts. Get over it and move on.
2. Do You Have Realistic Expectations? I am often amazed at how guys think that relationships will flourish and “magically” be sustained with very little effort on their part. Anything worth having has to be worked at! You can’t put in 60 hours a week at work, and 60 minutes a week with your woman and expect to have success at both. Also, if you want your girl to look like Mariah Carey, you probably shouldn’t look like Drew Carey!
3. Are You an Equal Partner? Can you give as well as take? Are you willing to compromise to make your mate happy? As a popular record states “I can do bad by myself.”
4. Forget A Good Job. Do You Have a Good Heart? In today’s economy, job security is fleeting. But a good heart will endear you indefinitely to your love interest. Are you kind and generous? Loyal? Are you responsible? This is what has true staying power to a woman of substance.
5. Can You Be Trusted? Around your girlfriend’s girlfriends? When out with the fellas? When by yourself? Or do you have to be watched like a hawk so you don’t cheat?
6. Are You Health Conscious? Decent to look at? Void of unhealthy habits like alcohol or substance abuse? But not a fitness nut either.
7. Do You Respect a Woman’s Opinion and Her Intellect? Or do you view females as second-class citizens who should be seen and not heard? Do you take an interest in things that are important to her?
8. Are You Still on Amicable Terms with Most of Your Exes?
