My Criteria For Choosing A Partner. In Other Words: How I Chose (and continue to choose) Steve.

My criteria for choosing a partner was simple. I asked myself the following question:

Is being with this person more fun than being on my own (knowing that I had a LOT of fun on my own)? Yes or No

If Yes, proceed with the relationship. 

If No, end the relationship. 

Re-evaluate at regular intervals, because choosing the right person is not a one-time decision. It’s a decision you make over and over again.

  1. This is also a very important factor to me too. I would also add to the Yes/No answer is to consider a reasonable period of time. There were times when my ex-partners made me upset and I certainly wasn’t having fun. However, when looking at the big picture, over months, I was much happier (having fun) being with them than being without them.
