How to Choose Between Two Mr. Rights. Part II

5. Family background

If you still feel it's difficult to choose the, better guy between the two suitors, try checking their family background. Remember that you may already be looking for the man you would marry. And that would be the man who would be the father of your children. Studies show that the way we bring about our own family is relative to the way we were raised by our parents. This is not to say that if your guy's father is a rapist, he, too, has a tendency to be a lurking maniac. What you would look for in his family is the way he treats his parents and siblings, and the way he perceives his upbringing.

6. Friends' sight

You know it. Your friends will always be there to give you their own bits of wisdom. Although it's not good to just approve of whoever they find pleasing, it is important that you take note of their views. Your friends will never give you something that will just harm you in the end. But remember, you can take note of their preferences without tallying votes. It's simply unnecessary. Just be mindful of the way they see your Mr. Right. They might just be looking from a different angle and they see things differently as you do.

7. Mom and Dad's choice

Here is where you could zero-in. If the first six couldn't help you decide, try your parents' insight. These adults should definitely help you decide on who's-who from a great number of beaus. Mom might say, "I think the second guy is better because he visits you more often and he really makes himself known in our house." On the other hand, Dad might say, "If you think both of them are right for you, that means you aren't ready yet. You should know how to distinguish the better one for you." Well, whatever they say, be sure to digest it carefully, after checking these seven things, you could proceed to the final item on the checklist.

8. Follow your heart

A lot of men and women have already asked, is it possible to fall in love with two (or more) individuals at the same time? The answer is, no, if you feel you are in this situation, think again. One of them will always have an edge over the other. If you don't find that edge, you are not looking for it hard enough. Face it; you can never have everything you wanted. It has always been one unwritten law of nature: You win some, you lose some.

So, what do you do now? Date with them, know them better. And keep this checklist handy. Good luck!
