You've found a certain girl, and you think she might be worth the long haul.
Not only is she beautiful, but you get along well and have tons in common.
She just might be worth sacrificing your independence.
How do you know when you've found the right girl? When is it time to commit? This article will answer these questions and more.
Don't rush.
A good rule-of-thumb is to wait six months before establishing a commitment.
More often than not, two people go out a couple of times, and they're monogamous.
What they don't realize is that they're in the "honeymoon phase" - a period at the beginning of a relationship that's exciting and new.
After this phase, the magic wears off, and the annoying habits kick in.
If you can make it past this period, your chances of maintaining a successful relationship increase.
Don't succumb to pressure.
It's not uncommon for females to be in a rush to commit.
They don't like the thought of sharing you, and want to know where the relationship is going.
Depending upon the amount of pressure you're getting, decide what you want to do.
If the girl's worth it, tell her you want to take your time.
If she keeps hounding you for a commitment, you may want to reconsider the relationship.
Don't lose sight of reality.
So many times, guys abandon their friends and hobbies for the sake of a relationship.
When this happens, they lose control not only of their lives, but of the relationship as well.
The girl conducts almost every aspect of his life.
While relationships are all about give-and-take, make sure you're not giving away all of yourself.
Even if you know you've found the right girl, keep sight of what made you happy before meeting her.
