1. Before you start a relationship with a lady/man, you must think carefully about what you are about to do. A relationship is not something you should rush into or handle lightly.
2. Are you ready for a relationship with him/her?

Are you emotionally, mentally and spiritually mature to meet his/her needs?

3. Being sexually attracted to him/her means absolutely nothing. It isn’t a sign of likeness, love or any other thing your mind may come up with. It may just be your hormones messing with your mind. Any man/ woman is more than his/her body and his/her sexuality. He/She has a life which you should be able to blend with. Can you do that?
4. This Guy/lady has a history. Can you handle it?

He/She has a past. Can you handle it? Can you handle his/her mistakes, failures and weaknesses? Can you handle his/her dreams without being intimidated and becoming jealous?

5. He/She already had a life before she met you. Can you fit into and help improve his/her life?
6. Love is commitment. Are you ready to commit your life to helping him/her grow and become all that he/she can be, by God’s grace?
7. Is He/she valuable enough for you to devote a large portion of your life towards the accomplishment of HIS/HER dream? Are you ready to pour your resources into making him/her all the Lord plans for him/her to be? If you are not ready, don’t just bother.
8. Before you open your mouth to say ‘I love you’, ask yourself if this is not just a moment of ‘emotional madness’. A guy/lady needs much more than ‘I love you’. He/She needs your commitment.

If you are not ready to make that commitment that will lead to marriage, please leave him/her alone in peace and stop wasting his/her time and resources..

AGREED?
