A guy who isn’t rushing the talking and dating stage just to get to a point where he sleeps with you is a green flag.

There is a genuine desire within him to get to know you better as a person, not your body.

The conversations you have with him on dates and in between dates are filled with well-thought-out questions about you.

The answers you give him don’t fall on deaf ears either.

He asks follow-up questions to some of those answers in future conversations you have with him.

This means that during time apart, he is thinking about your answers and ruminating on them.

This leads to follow-up questions on the next date or conversation he has with you over the phone.

Clearly, this is a guy who is interested in knowing the person you are.

On top of this, the dates themselves are well-planned-out.

They aren’t done on short notice.

He gets your availability first and plans out a date accordingly.

In doing this, he is demonstrating a conscientious effort to court you properly.

Instead of being lazy by sticking with doing drinks or dinner all the time, each subsequent date is an improvement on the last as he diversifies them to keep things interesting.

He takes you to dinner one week, and the next he takes you to see a theater show.

As he gets to know you and what you like, he starts to tailor the dates to what he has learned about your pastimes or pastime desires.

For example, if he learns that you would love to do horseback riding and you never have, he sets up a future date to do horseback riding so as to fulfill that desire.

Additionally, he doesn’t want to do anything on a date that would make you feel uncomfortable.

When he makes suggestions for dates, he does so with the intent of avoiding doing any activities that you are likely not to enjoy.

By learning more about you, he knows more about what activities you like to do for fun.

In the event he is thinking about an activity that he isn’t certain you would enjoy, he asks you about it first.

Even though he enjoys parasailing, it doesn’t mean you do too.

Instead of assuming you do and planning a parasailing date, he runs it by you first.

This shows how unselfish and considerate of a person he is.

Furthermore, he picks you up and drops you off and walks you to your door to assure your safety at the end of dates.

All of these are green flags to look for in a guy during the talking and dating stage to know he will be a good partner.

Throughout, he has demonstrated generosity and dependability in taking you out on regular dates.

Depth and authenticity in asking you well-thought-out questions so as to get to know you more as a person.

Organization and competence in how he plans out and diversifies the dates.

Excitement and adventurousness in how he diversifies the kind of dates he takes you out on.

Unselfishness and compromise in not taking you out on dates to do an activity you wouldn’t enjoy or be comfortable doing.

A protector mentality in how he picks you up for a date, drops you off, and assures your safety in walking you to your door.

Since he is already consistently showing these qualities as he courts you, he is likely to show them as a good long-term partner.
