2. Do We Have a Strong Friendship?

Underneath the romance, you need to be friends as well. It isn’t always going to be burning passion 24/7, you need to make sure that you actually enjoy the non-sexual company of this person as well.

3. Do We Want the Same Things?

Are your future family and life goals in alignment? If they are not, then you could just be wasting precious time in your prime.
