In response, I would challenge you to look for the following. (1) A mate who is your best friend. We throw the term best friend around a lot in modern society, but for me it’s a collection of important traits: trust, honesty, and a willingness to help with the little things. Nobody has one best friend anymore, but make sure your mate is someone with whom you can share trust and honesty at the highest level. - See more at: http://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/cc-throw-away-your-old-dating-checklists/#sthash.rDko7WaG.yP6HaDbS.dpuf
