 How are you finding your way in the dating world? You may just have a list in the back of your mind of the top deal breakers for your ideal relationship. But while deal breakers are what many tend to notice, what about the deal makers? Sometimes it's good to focus on what can make your date a potential partner. The deal makers. To help you remember to look for what you value as well, here's a list of common deal makers that can create a healthy relationship. Number one, good communication. A relationship can't flourish and grow if a couple doesn't communicate effectively. Does your partner express how they feel? Do they let you know when something is wrong? Communication is key in any relationship. The more honest you are with your partner and your feelings, the more you'll thrive as a couple. If you know you've had problems with a partner not communicating well in the past, let your new romantic interest know you hold good communication highly. Number two, emotionally supportive. Does your partner comfort and support you? Are they there for you when you need them the most? Maybe you're dating someone new and can't quite tell. Try expressing how you feel after a bad day. If they're willing to sit with you and talk about it, they're providing emotional support. If they try to cheer you up, that may also be another way of providing support to someone they care about. Number three, willingness to work on the relationship. Relationships take work. They're not always abusive cake. And while they look beautifully designed and crafted on the outside, hmm, chocolate cake, they still need work in order to thrive. If you have an argument with your partner and they don't seem interested in resolving or talking it out, that may be a bad sign. A great deal maker is when someone tends to have a willingness to work through both your disagreements and struggles together, not just abandon the relationship after one difficulty. Number four, a great sense of humor. Does your date make you laugh? Do you feel happy around them? Everyone is different when it comes to what they look for, but one common deal maker in relationships is a sense of humor. Someone who can make you laugh or simply someone who knows how to have fun and cheer you up. Let your date know you not only want to talk about the serious stuff, but you want to have fun with them on this journey as well. Number five, being able to admit when they're wrong. Nobody can be right all the time. We all make mistakes. So when it comes to a serious relationship, there are bound to be disagreements. It's not the end of the world if you disagree on the little things as long as your values match. But if they're unable to admit when they're wrong, that can have a negative impact on your relationship moving forward. A great deal maker is being with someone who can recognize when they're wrong and apologize. And this goes both ways. So you better be able to admit your faults as well. It's honest and healthy for both of you. Number six, someone who is willing to grow together and adapt. Let me ask you this, will you be the exact same person 10 years from now? Unless you're a programmed cyborg, you're gonna change mentally, physically and spiritually. Your desires, needs and ambitions may change as well. A great partner understands this and is open to growing with you. Sometimes you will have differences and sometimes a partner can adapt to them and grow with you. But if your values are drifting apart, that may be a different story. Not every relationship is meant to last if partner's values and compatibility become drastically different. But the point is, your special someone shouldn't be one to hold you back from growing into the person you'll soon become. Maybe someone you can achieve goals with together while growing as an individual and a couple in the process. And in order for your relationship to work, you'd be willing to do just the same for them. Hmm, grow as a person and have a supportive partner by your side. That's a deal I'm willing to make.
