How do you know you’re making the right choice?

By Miss Kes 

Relationships are terrifying enough without getting to a stage where you realize that the choice you’ve invested in is the wrong one. How do you know that Mr or Ms Right is actually the right one for you?

Stephanie:Well, one way to know for sure is to know what you want. If you are not sure, you need to leave relationships alone until you are really ready.Bridgette:You will never be sure, to be honest. It is a risk. I mean I never thought I would marry the man I am with now until I gave him a chance. I gave him a chance hoping it didn’t fail me and we have been going on for a bit and I have never been this happy. Just roll with the punches.MF:You will never know because some men can pretend when they are the worst choice, so you will never know. I am single right now and I am good this way.Hanna:I have a list and if I go on a date and a guy doesn’t meet the criteria of at least 50 per cent of the list, it is a wrap. I have zero time to waste.KH:You will never know. Just chance it.
