4 Ways To Spot Somebody Who's Right For You
Matthew Hussey outlines four practical signals for telling whether a romantic partner is genuinely right for you, beyond self-doubt and fantasies about a perfect match.
The gist
-
Look for someone who makes you feel safe to communicate openly; subtle discouragement about the relationship's direction is a warning sign.
-
The right person makes you feel more yourself, either by understanding your nature or appreciating your differences rather than judging them.
-
Hussey says a good match accepts where you are right now, including unhealed wounds, rather than waiting for you to be fully fixed.
-
A healthy relationship can absorb conflict without falling apart; fearing one argument ruins everything suggests the pairing is not a good fit.
