After you make finding love a pirority, and have decided to go expand your social circles to meet more people….and have met some people whom you are keen to know better. How then do you separate the frogs from the prince? Are there things to take note of before you decided to hand your heart over on a platter?

According to Dr Brown, here’s some tips to help you figure out what to look for in a man.

1) What are his relationships like? Take note of how he interacts with his friends, colleagues and family. When you can determine what kind of person he is in other relationships, you should get a pretty good idea of what he will be like if he is in a love relationship with you. You can also look to his past relationships to get a feel of the kind of partner he will be. Did past relationships end amicably? Is he still friends with past partners?

2) How are his manners? is he on time? Whether a person has simple etiquette or not can be telling of his character. Does he talk on his mobile phone when you are in a conversation? How does he treat the wait staff when he is a restaurant with you? Does he treat the wait staff as people or servants? If he make a mistake, does he accept it or does he always push the blame to others?

3) Look for chemistry, not just appearance. If you don’t feel an attraction at the first meeting, don’t give up. Physcial atttraction often increases as two people get to know and trust each other. Give yourself and the other party a chance before you jump ship.
