Women need to first decide if they are just out for a short term fling or want a mature, long-term relationship that may lead to marriage. Before embarking on a serious relationship, the woman should develop a strong spiritual relationship. No man can meet those spiritual needs. It's unfair to expect another person to make you happy. Instead of taking from others, you should be giving out of your own abundance.

If you want a long-term relationship, you should take your time to get to know the guy. This will eliminate most of the  married cheaters and sociopaths who want immediate results. Then get to know his family and friends because they will give you the real story on his character. Be sure to set limits and boundaries so you feel comfortable and safe and don't feel rushed into a commitment.
