Life is too short to be too picky about anything and this includes our sentimental relationships. We tend to look at the most common flaws that we can find in a person, and we let that turn into an excuse not to get involved. The problem with this way of thinking is that we never manage to find a person that we consider to be a good match for us and this turns into a pattern.

There are 3 important elements that you need to consider when you want to determine if you have found a good match. The rest is all nitpicking that is going to get you nowhere.

Those 3 elements are:

A similar mindset

This means that you share a similar view of the world and you have a philosophy that you can follow as a couple.

A similar sense of humor

Nothing can be more fun and rewarding for a couple than sharing a similar sense of humor. This may seem like a secondary thing to some people, but it’s a crucial part of a healthy relationship.

The ability to communicate

The downfall for most couples is that they don’t know how to communicate with each other. If you are both good at communicating your feelings and concerns in the relationship, you will become a very strong couple.
