Hi Ann, it can definitely be a challenge! Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it xx
This is an excellent list of good-guy attributes! I love how he’s not “annoyed by your oddities!” That cracked me up because I have plenty of instances where past dates were annoyed by my oddities! But my now-husband seems fine with all of my hoopla, haha. I love that you put this resource out there for single people who are questioning their relationships and/or frustrated with ridiculous guys. Life is too short to deal with a dud. Awesome post!
Hey Kat! That’s when you know (for sure) that they’re a keeper! I’m so glad you found a good one! Thanks so much for your comment xx
I will look out for these signs when I start dating again! Do not know when that will be! I really like being alone. It is soooo nice. Thank you for sharing!
Hey Sasha! You’re very welcome. Better to be single than with the wrong person! x
This is a great list of signs when someone genuinely cares about you and wants you by their side. Dating in this era is “crazy” but you make it simple!
Hey Domii, thank you so much for your lovely feedback! 🙏 It really is very hard these days!
It is so lovely post! We married for 10 years, but I still remember our beginning. I definitely loved how he looked at me!
Hi Olga! Awwww, that’s so sweet! 😍 Congratulations on 10 years!
I love this post!! So many will see this as the “perfect guy” but it’s honestly the bare minimum if you’re going to spend your life with them! Love all of these signs!
Hi Katherine! Yes, you’re 100% right! I couldn’t agree more ❤️ Thanks so much for your comment!
Great read — I loved how this list makes it feel okay to look for the little things, not just grand gestures, when thinking “he’s the one.” It’s all about whether you genuinely feel seen, supported, and simply you around him. Thanks for sharing these thoughtful reminders!
Hi Phill, thank you so much for the lovely feedback! Much appreciated x
Great read! I’m so grateful to have one at home. It really is so, but I had to laugh when I saw, “he can read you like a book,” as I say this to him so often. We may not be perfect – no one is, but we’re perfect for each others. 20 years of blessings xx
Hi Katy! Thank you so much for your comment! 20 years.. Wow! That’s amazing 💕
