Sometimes, security starts to seem like a good thing. If you're tired of playing the field, or are interested in turning a good relationship into a serious commitment, you may have a lot of questions about how to make it work. You can learn to tell whether or not you're ready for a long term relationship, as well as how to make it work and keep your relationship fresh.

1. Start a casual relationship first. If you're single and want to settle down, it's important that you not rush things. It can take a while to meet people, let alone meet the right people for starting a long term relationship with, so try to take it slowly at first and let things progress at their own pace. This will work differently for every relationship, so work at your own pace.

2. Ask your friends and family about your relationship. It's true that love is often blind, and it can make us ignore obvious faults in potential long-term partners, things that your friends and family might be able to pick up on more easily. It can be helpful to get a second opinion from trusted friends and loved ones whom you trust.

3. Discuss your desires for the relationship after it has settled. If you're with someone and are thinking about committing to a long term relationship, it's important that you first discuss whether or not your partner is interested in one, and get all the cards out on the table. There are lots of different types of relationships, expectations about what a relationship means, and ideas about commitment, and the best way to learn how your partner feels is to ask.

4. Share your personal life goals with your partner. What do you want out of your life? Where do you want to be in ten years? What kind of a career do you envision for yourself? These kinds of things can get in the way of long-term relationships, or can at least make your compatibility with someone more challenging.

5. Try living together, when the time is right. If you think your partner might be "the one," it can be good for a lot of couples to try living together for a while before they commit to marriage, or to a more long-term arrangement. Like going on a trip together, living together helps you to see what your partner is like when they're tired, grumpy, hungover, and other low points. If you can still love your partner when they've got the flu or a stomach bug, you've got something really special.

Lovely write up
Especially number 2) most times we need people we trust on the outside to look into the relationship and give advice .. We all know love can sometimes blind ppl ...

Number 5) yes alot of failed marriages happen because they have never lived together , and might find out new things about each other they dont like ... But it might be too late ..
Always Good to test it out ..

In truth, the best long-term relationship most times started from friendship or casual relationship but most girls missed out this opportunity by turning into friendzone while giving themselves out to some total stranger with a sugar mouth

seen but not for me

Good.

No. 5 is really important... I got to notice that when he z hungry he automatically gets angry over little things.
