When you’re casually seeing and haven’t decided on a single guy for a long-term relationship, what you desire in a guy can be very different than what you want in a long-term partnership. You might not be the best relationship fit with the guy you have the most fun with. You should ask these questions before going into a proper relationship with someone you’ve been dating.

1. Do you have my back no matter what?

Taking your relationship to the next level might be frightening, and you need to know that you can rely on your partner completely. Ask them upfront if they will always have your back, even if they are angry with you or have problems. That is something you must be aware of in good times and bad. They’ll be there to help you.

2. What do you consider cheating?

Cheating is viewed differently by different people. Some women believe that looking at a photo of someone of the other s*x is adultery, or that having an opposite gender Facebook friend is cheating. In truth, these actions should not be seen as cheating because they would indicate controlling behavior. Cheating, on the other hand, can signify different things to different people. Someone may consider intercourse to be cheating, while another may consider a mere kiss to be cheating. From the beginning, you must be on the same page.

3. What are you expecting from this relationship?

Make sure you and your partner are on the same page about where you want the relationship to go. Asking your partner what he wants out of the relationship will provide you insight into what you can expect in the future. If you want to marry your partner but he doesn’t, you need to know early away so that neither of you waste each other’s time.
