What Makes Someone a Good Match For You?
Though this article is geared primarily toward romantic relationships, much of the insight within can be applied to platonic/familial/friendship connections as well.
So, what makes two people a good match for one another? How might we know when someone is truly healthy for us, as well as with whom we are well suited?
Because as you and I both know, plenty of us (myself included) have made the mistake of thinking that someone is great for us, simply because we experience strong feelings toward and have things in common with them. Then, often finding ourselves suddenly in the midst of a relationship with said person. The danger here is that we may ignore red flags which pop up along the way, within the rush of seeming instant connection and liking.
We might have swept concerns under the rug, not wanting to face, consider, nor address them. We reason away things which may indicate their not being the best fit for us. Or, are in denial about someones true character (which may not be so great after all). Instead, preferring to see them in the best possible light since we chose them as someone to love.
We desperately want to believe in having chosen right. That actually, this person is good for us and good in heart. That our judgement of others is sound.
