If you identify yourself as a classy woman, it’s only right that the guy you’re seeing complements your caliber. Much like friends, there are some relationships that come into your life for a reason and others only for a season. If you feel like yours is one with plenty of potential to last for a lifetime, consider these signs of a high-quality relationship.
You show your love for each other in subtle yet endearing ways
Whether it’s a kiss on the forehead, a shoulder massage after you’ve had a rough day or a simple hold of your hand, his little gestures are telling signs that he adores you, even if he doesn’t say it. You’re also not too proud to send him ‘good morning’ texts or cook him a nice homemade meal. Attentive actions are everything.
Chivalry isn’t dead
You love it when you can pick off a piece of lint from his sweater to make sure he looks neat or foot the bill on a dinner-date sometimes. And for him, he isn’t bashful about holding the door open for you or pulling out your chair when appropriate. It’s not old-fashioned, it’s polite and respectful. Women like knowing that they can take care of themselves, but who doesn’t enjoy being treated right every so often? We all want to feel valued.
You don’t overshare the ins & outs
You’re not the type of couple to publicize the arguments you have in your relationship on social media or with friends – you prefer to keep it to yourselves. You also don’t need to post hundreds of selfies of the two of you together or go overboard with public displays of affection. You’re happy with each other, and there’s no need (or desire) to convince anyone of that.
You can spend time apart without any worries
A classy relationship is one that lets the two of you make time for other interests – even if it doesn’t involve each other. You trust each other, so you don’t have to worry about him being possessive over your time and vice versa. You’re able to spend time with your girlfriends while he’s hanging out with his guy pals. You both also respect that the two of you might need your own alone time to recharge. Balance is one key to keeping a relationship healthy and classy.
