i know that everyone has different opinions on what they want for their future, i know that for me i want someone that doesn't have a history of lying to me or hiding things from me and that is happy with me and that i am happy with, and that i can see myself with in the future, so it takes me a few months at least to see if that woman is the one that i think i want a longer term thing with because it takes awhile to start to really get to know a person...so i was just wondering about all of you, how long does it usually take you to know if the person that you are seeing is good enough for you to want for your future(and by good enough i mean has what you want in a girl/guy)how long does it usually take? thanks for taking the time to read my discussion and hopefully you will take part and answer...i hope that you all have a great day today!

When I feel that it's like we don't want to let go with each other, when you seems like you wanna be at her side and spending your life with her. No relationship is perfect but we can accept each other for what we are. The getting to know you doesn't stop, the romance doesn't stop, when you share everything. When you feel that you can be you with her that no pretentions, that it makes you feel complete. That each day you look together for the future. Have a nice day!

It usually takes a couple months. The relationships that I am the happiest in, is the ones I can have hours of conversation with the guy or days of hardly talking to them at all; but still know our relationship is strong. I also have to know they aren't needed or over jealous and can make it ok without me. (have to have a guy that is just as independent as I am)
