Few things I look for:
1) When they don't ask stupid questions while I am watching football
2) When they can cook a decent meal
3) When they can drink a beer with me without giving the "bitter beer face"
4) When they can just put up with my sometimes obnoxious behavior without going insane
5) When I can honestly realize that regardless of how hard it is to put up with her, I am ALWAYS the lucky one
6) When we can have a three hour conversation about things that really don't even matter... and when that three hours passes like it was 5 minutes
Now I haven't found that entire combo yet, but that doesn't mean there isn't someone out there for me. It is never about finding something better, it is about finding the right fit for you, and that happens naturally (props to IWish), it isn't planned and you don't have to try or force anything. You know because you know, not because you have some sort of realization. Lastly, you know by feeling a connection in the eyes. Both now, and 50 years from now, the so called "one" still has that impact on you when you make eye contact. The eyes don't lie my friend! At the end of the day, relationships aren't easy, but if they stick with you through all the BS, then consider yourself lucky.
