Of course these things don’t guarantee a great relationship but they can help weed people out you might not be a good match with.
@RoxanneToto, I totally agree with you! My problem is I've never been discerning - not enough. My picker is broken and needs adjustment and fixing. I've always picked the wrong men. Well, in my earlier adult years I had some good men; then it went downhill from there as I got older.
