When will you say yes, and when will you say no? In your opinion, how long could the courtship be? or what characteristic of a person would you consider before you go into a relationship?

The things I would look for in a relationship is respect, honesty, and love. It would be important how he treats his family and friends. How his family views him. For the most part if his family doesn't get a long well with him then that should be a little sign to me and I should be asking myself why. It would be important to me how he feels about spiritual things. Having goals that are similiar is another thing I would be looking for.

To me, sincerity and honesty are very important. He has to be a kind and caring person, and I always like a family man. If one cares for his parents, he will also take care of his family well. Well, before I started my relationship with my husband, my friends and I had been talking about what characteristics we'd like for the boyfriends. But, sometimes when you really fall in love, you won't be so "calculative", because you just love him. Perhaps it's because he has all the characteristics that I like, and that's why I'd fall in love with him. I always follow my heart to say Yes or No. ^_^

Thats good to hear. Good for you for having a man who has all the characteristics that you like.. ^_^ and its true when you've fallen in love, you won't be calculative. Thats why some people end up marrying a person even though the characteristics of that person is opposite of the one that they like.

The main characteristic that I look for in a person is honesty and reliability. I have been in a relationship before where the man lied to me all the time. He lied because he wanted to go out and do things with friends or other girls all the time. He knew it was not the right or responsible thing to do, so he lied. So, I would need to know that the person I was considering was honest and trustworthy.

I agree with you hmkoct, I guess honesty is the main ingredient for a relationship in order to survive... but unfortunately its a character of a man that is really very hard to find. but i believe there are still some out there who are honest and its because they are truly in love with their partner, who never want to cheat or lie to their love one. ^_^

hello peachdoll! there are moments in my life that i have encountered guys who are like in a rush when courting me or in my observations with my friends who are girls and being courted by guys. they seem like there's not much time in the world that they are in urgent of the answers from the girls. i mean, i think its not right to force or push someone like that. if they loved you, they will wait until you say it deeply from your heart that you love them. this way, the feeling would be really felt. don't you think? if they really loved you, they will wait no matter what. but if you really loved them, i think they would love to hear it from you. about the characteristics, be careful to choose who you think you really loved and deserve to be with. cause we can be wasting time with the wrong person when we really needed someone to be there to love and be loved as well.

It depends on you. But i think you must first know the man better before getting in a relationship. Before getting in to a relationship you must be ready to like what he likes and avoid his dislikes and he must also do the same for you. Hope this helps.
