Someone with the proven ability to change. There’s growth.

Conflict Management
-
Not all conflict are beneficial. Conflict is only healthy if its managed well.

-
Managed Conflicts are your relationship badges.

Fight, but fight clean.

Direction over Emotion
- Emotions are thermometer not thermostat
- Observe mo ano yung intention at match ba sa actions
- Mature people will match their intention with their actions
- Not allergic sa DTR, they will give the clarity you deserve
- There’s clarity of purpose of the relationship, hindi go with the flow lang.
Maturity
- They can fight for their worth and values, (one maturity test is they respect their values)
- What you believe about yourself determines the kind of relationship you believe you deserve.
- They can decide, they know what’s wrong and what’s right
- Yes is Yes, No is No
- They are not an open door
- Their identity is not in the relationship
- Believe it or not, real men are more interested in the size of a woman’s heart and mind than the size of her waist.
- They invest in their character growth
