1. You can have a dialogue as equals.
Does he include you in any of his future plans? Does he often use "we" instead of "I"? The ability to have an equal conversation is one of the most important indicators of whether he respects you.
2. You share similar interests and values.
If he's an outdoor photography enthusiast, while you prefer staying at home; if you enjoy a carefree life, while he sees personal success as the ultimate goal in life... it's hard to say that two people on different tracks would be a suitable couple.
3. There is absolute trust between you.
Trust is a crucial element in love. You don't need to worry about who he has dinner with, and he won't be wary of your female colleagues. Both of you can openly face and handle interpersonal relationships in the workplace and in life.
4. You can face the ordinariness after the passion fades.
Too many couples' relationships end after the initial passion fades. A life of routine is normal, and if you can both accept this, it suggests your relationship is more likely to last.
