Many relationships start off in the same manner: the man and the woman cling onto every word they utter, every breath they take and every move they make. All is peachy in the prelude to every serious relationship, but how do we know if the couple will make it past three months together or if you'll just be her Three Month Man? How do you know if this woman is right for you? Will she tell you she cares, will she show you she cares or will she only tell others she wants you in her life?
I Love You For The Moment
There never seems to be any bad news in fresh relationships. Couples agree on everything from the kind of entrée to order in a restaurant to the amount of butter to put on their popcorn at the movies. Unfortunately, couples eventually grow out of the simple smiles of agreement and lively displays of affection.

There comes a time when the popular three little words are uttered and uncontainable feelings are bared. Saying "I love you," however, is not necessarily the right direction to travel in. That infamous little phrase is to be kept on reserve for the appropriate time. It is not a statement that should be tossed around like rice at a wedding.

Saying that you sincerely care about your significant other is worth much more than falsely claiming to love her. Lying to her might also jeopardize a potentially good relationship. This rule applies to both men and women, since partners sometimes feel the urge to amplify their feelings by projecting their affections onto the other. This is not to say that certain couples will never love each other, they simply shouldn't get caught up in certain moments of happiness and blurt out things that they may not ultimately mean.
Show Her The Goods
As they say, "actions speak louder than words", and this is especially true for relationshi
ps. We become so accustomed to hearing the same old thing over and over again, that in order for the words to make any impact at all, they must be backed up with significant actions. So, the next time you tell your lady that she's precious to you, don't forget to show her how you feel.

You don't have to buy her diamond earrings to do so. Why not just give her a massage or take her somewhere she has always wanted to go? It's so simple to tell a woman that she means the world to you, but is it just as easy to prove ? How many of you, at this moment in your relationships, tell your ladies that you'd do anything for them and in the next instance turn around and go drinking with your buddies instead of staying home with them on a Friday night?

A girlfriend will greatly appreciate the fact that you will forego an entertaining night of scantily clad women and booze to spend time with her when she needs you by her side. A relationship is like any other enterprise; it requires a great deal of time, effort and devotion. Couples come and go, but real relationships are those that can survive whatever life throws at them together and come out closer than before.

Another good way to know if your better half is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with is to make sure you have the same vision of the future. Do you both see yourselves together many years down the line, investing in a house together and raising a family? If you have answered in accordance to all the above questions, give yourself a golden heart. Girlfriend As Daughter
Another test that has proved effective in the history books of love is to have her meet your parents or other loved ones. Often times, people in relationships do not see clearly as their emotions take over their common sense and blind their judgment. The best way to figure things out in these situations is to introduce your lover to a your mom or dad or best friend. Since we trust and value the opinion of our parents and good friends, they can adequately judge whether or not this person is meant for us.

As much as people say that family members often stick their noses where they don't belong, they often do so out of affection and concern for their loved ones. Girlfriends use this tactic often, by making their boyfriends go through a series of introductions that might seem simple enough, but are much like exams in college. Although how we are rated by the acquaintance doews not necessarily repesent the final grade, it still counts for a lot.

When your girlfriend invites you over for supper with her folks, what do you expect? Of course this is not going to be a picnic at the beach. This is like a real job interview where the employers (parents) question the applicant (you) to see if he's really the right man for the career in question (daughter). The parents see you as the one who is going to take over their job of taking care of their little girl. So the reason this seems like a nerve-wracking experience is because it is a crucial step in any relationship. If the potential in-laws don't like you or vice-versa, how do you expect to spend the rest of your life with their daughter?

In another respect, this "meeting the parents" extravaganza indicates that your lady feels strongly about you. If you're meeting her parents, it's quite likely that she's falling in love with you.
Itsy-Bitsy Teeny-Weeny
Putting aside the old song and dance routine for a moment, women consider "little things" to be benchmarks in relationships. Do you remember her favorite kind of ice cream from your first date? What was her cat's name when she was a little girl? What was the song playing on the radio when you first kissed? Little tidbits of information, which might seem useless or irrelevant to you at the time, become memorable and nostalgic "couple trivia" to her, so pay attention.

Although partners in a relationship might go a long time without saying "I love you", there are many other things that indicate a certain level of affection for one another. The trick is knowing how to spot them.
