When it comes to dating, it can be hard to figure out how close you are to settling down properly. Someone you think is going to offer you the world can turn out to be far more toxic than most realize, and that is something we all need to be aware of.
In life and in love, we go through a lot of trials and struggles. Finding ‘the one’ for you isn’t going to be easy, but once you’ve found him/her you will be able to see the signs clearly. Someone who is meant to be with you and remain by your side will treat you much better than anyone else. He/she will hold your hand through all the ups and downs this world throws at you and really keep you feeling special.
Below, I am going to go over some signs that you might have finally found someone who was meant to be with you. While these signs should be clear from the very beginning, some of them do take a little while to set in. How many are present for you in your current relationship?
