When you fall in love, the other individual may always seem to be utterly fine. You won't recognise their imperfections, and you could even miss a weakness that might be devastating to your friendship later on. - Are they polite, loving, and compassionate? - Are they open to themselves and to their lives? - Are they supportive of you and your family? This are all aspects you can pick up when you first encounter someone, just make sure you don't pick up love interests focused on shallow indicators and search for somebody you have a true bond with.
