n this week’s MH weekly, they list 4 ways to tell if you’ve found “A Keeper”:

1. How Similar Are You? Dating your female clone wears thin, a new study from the University of Geneva found. Men who date women with “ideal” qualities are more likely to stay with them than those who date people similar to themselves, says lead author Marcel Zetner, Ph.D.

The lesson? Approach women who embody your ideal characteristics – physically, emotionally, and mentally. The payoff could outweigh the potential rejection.

2. Are Your Conversations One-Sided? “Telling you every detail about her life or grilling you about yours won’t necessarily bring you closer,” says John Badalament, Ed.M., a relationship coach. “The relationship can become old quickly,” agrees Terry Real, author of The New Rules of Marriage.

Email can help you suss out a match; If she can convey opinions and feelings in writing, she’s open and comfortable with you. The more insightful her questions, the better the potential.

3. Where Do You Go On Your Dates? “Couples who party hard tend to hit it off early but have a short shelf life,” says Real. Quiet nights can curb conversation and become a rut. Seek out challenges by dragging her to work functions to meet your colleagues or asking her to take rock-climbing lessons. How well do you ad-lib as a team without a script?

4. Does She Ever Get Angry With You? “Women who fight it out tend to make better partners than those who don’t,” says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of D.S.I.: Date Scene Investigation. New studies confirm that avoiding arguments results in “out-of-control” emotions and long-term anger, especially in women. Call her out; it’s better than her keeping it bottled up.
