10 Ways to Know if You’ve Met Your Perfect Match
[nextpage title=”…”]
We all want to find that one special someone. Dating in the modern world is a confusing journey with so many choices. No matter if you are trying out online dating for the first time or trying to meet someone off of a social network, the same confusion about identifying if you’ve really met your match has never changed despite all the new technology.
When it comes down to spending time together and everyone is off of the computer and in the real world, there are a few indicators that your love might be the love of your life. Not all will ring true for every couple, but if you can identify a few of the following traits in your relationship, it might prove that you’re starting a relationship with your perfect match.
Completing Each Others Sentences
When you can finish a sentence that your partner started, it can prove a few things. Either you’ve spent an exceptional amount of time together (which indicates a strong bond), or you have a natural interest in the same things and are on the same wavelength about many important issues in your lives. Agreeing doesn’t mean you both have the same exact outlook on life. Differences are important and beneficial in the longevity of your relationship.
Caring to Check in about Plans
Within a healthy relationship you’ll have plans together, and plans with your own sets of friends and family. This makes it even more important to check in if there’s something you’d love to do with your partner. It shows that you care about their own personal schedule enough to try to plan things together, and that you’ll understand if the timing doesn’t work out.
Proud to Introduce your Partner
We’ve all had relationships wherein our partner didn’t seem to be the best fit for us, and introducing them to friends of family seemed like more trouble than it was worth. Once you meet your match, you’ll be proud that they’re on your arm, and you won’t be able to wait to introduce them to your inner circle. You might get a little teasing from friends or family once they see how excited you are, but you won’t care as long as they like them as much as you do.
Liking Friends and Family
Its essential for a lasting relationship that you understand where your partner came from, and meeting their friends and family can be a big part of that. So it can be such a relief and a very positive sign when you meet the important members of their life and are pleasantly surprised to like them immensely. You don’t need to want to spend the rest of your life with their family, you just need to be ok with spending some significant quality time with their circle if you want to spend time with your match.

You Aren’t Threatened By Their Ex
Relationships dominated by jealousy and feelings of insecurity are not usually the ones that last. To have a successful and long lasting relationship you need to feel secure in how your partner cares for you the most romantically. So even though you might have some momentary feelings of insecurity, if you’re with your match, you will understand that their ex is just a stepping stone in their past that led them to you.
Wanting to Be Your Best
Healthy relationships encourage personal growth instead of restricting it. Being in a relationship with a person that could be your match should inspire you to be the best you can possibly be. It isn’t the same as changing who you are, it’s living up to the potential of what you’ve always known you could achieve but didn’t have the proper motivation to before. Don’t be surprised if you smash your workout goals or start to excel at your career once you have a future with your match in mind.
Opening to New Ideas
It’s easy to become set in your ways after a couple decades of living on this planet, and even cynical about things you’re uncomfortable or uninformed about. But when you’re truly with your match, you’ll be more open to different viewpoints and less judgmental of ideas that didn’t make sense in the past. You’ll listen to their opinions with disregarding them just because they are unfamiliar to you, and allow yourself to be open to change.
You Imagine the Future
When you imagined you future before you ex, it was never quite like this. The scale of plans has moved from good to grand and you are excited for a future that you both will share. Maybe this means vacation plans, perhaps making a home together or even having children and starting a family. When you can imagine a future that is expansive, one that makes you feel like the sky is the limit, you might really be with a partner that will be your match for the rest of your life.
It’s important to remember to date outside your comfort zone so you can experience a variety of potential partners.
