When you get to know a man and fall in love, it is never entirely certain whether he is a keeper. It is normal to have doubts, especially if you do not know him that well. But when it becomes more serious and you want a relationship with him, you have to know whether he is a keeper. Is he someone who sticks around during difficult times? Or will he choose to run away?
7 Signs He’s a Keeper
Should you open yourself up to someone you’re not even sure will stay with you for the long haul? Is he even worth having a relationship with? And will he continue to support you through the good times and the bad?
Since it can be hard to tell if he’s a keeper, the following tips can help you figure it out. Does he do a lot of these things? Then your boy is probably a keeper.
1. He puts you first
You are the biggest priority in his life? Does he always put you first? Of course his own life is also very important to him, but you should be a priority for him. Is he even willing to give things up so that you are happy? Then he is a keeper. Whether this is healthy is also questionable. But the most important thing is that he is willing to do (almost) anything for you and that he is happy to accommodate you to make you happy.

2. He is in control of his own life
Of course you don’t want a man whose life is still a mess. It can happen to anyone that they lose their job or that things don’t go so well sometimes. But if this is for the long term or if he is fine with the situation, then that is a bad sign. A keeper is someone who has a job, is fit and well-mannered.
It is important to be with someone who knows what is important in life and who has set goals for himself. It may also be that he is still trying to figure out who he really is and what he wants in life, but how he deals with this tells a lot about him as a person. Does he just lie in bed all day? And is he okay with it? Or is he really trying to change his life and make something of it?
3. He makes an effort to get to know your friends
If he knows how important your friends are to you, he will also make an effort to get to know them better. And then this keeper will also make an effort to make them like him too. If he wants to get to know your friends better, he probably sees you as a big part of his life. Of course, it is also a big plus if your friends like him too and get along well with him.
4. He is your biggest fan
When your man is the biggest cheerleader in your life and supports you in everything you do, you know he is a keeper. He will continue to do his best to support you in life and when you pursue your dreams. He is also the shoulder you can cry on when things don’t go the way you want. And he helps you to accelerate when you need a boost. He helps you to be the best possible version of yourself and understands that you also have your personal goals in life.

5. He also sees the small details
When he notices even the little things, you know it’s right. For example, when he notices when you’re wearing a new top or when he notices when you’ve had a haircut. Have you ever told him that roses are your favorite flowers? Don’t be surprised when he suddenly shows up with a beautiful bouquet of roses.
He knows that life is not about luxury gifts, but that the little things are also important. He can make you happy with the little things in life, like when he cooks your favorite food for you.
6. He sees your happiness as his happiness too
If he is happy when you are happy, then you know it is okay. He loves the way you smile, the way you look at him or even when you are just lying under a blanket on the couch. He will do everything he can to make sure you are happy. His happiness depends on your happiness because he has an emotional bond with you.

7. He makes you a better person
Of course, you don’t need a man to be happy. Or to be the best version of yourself. But it is important that you have a partner who brings out the best in you. And not someone who brings you down or makes you doubt yourself. If you are the person you always wanted to be, then he should be a perfect fit.
You could have accomplished this all by yourself, but it is of course not a disaster if he contributed to it. That can even have something beautiful. You know that you can no longer imagine your life without him and that he makes you happy.
