A. The five rules/ milestones or the five questions that you need to seek answers for before getting into a committed relationship are-  1. How long have you both dating each other- Ideally, it should have been a long time. You can't promise yourself a healthy relationship with a person you have seen for a few weeks.  2. The next important rule or milestone that I will discuss is whether you and your person see a future together- You are wasting your time if you don't see a lot together. There's no point in making your relationship official or getting into a relationship if this particular point is not check listed.  3. Do you both trust each other- Trust forms the building block of any relationship in this world. To sum up,  No trust = Doesn't matter if you have been to 1000s of dates together  4. Are you happy- Happiness is the most key thing in a human's life. We all strive for it and seek it in every moment of our life. There's no point in being with someone if that particular person doesn't make you happy.  Understand that being in a relationship means seeking happiness in that particular individual. He/she is around, or being with him/her should make you happy.  5. Is there a thought in your mind that you want to see other people- If there is an inch of this feeling, he/she isn't the one buddy. There is no need to know or see other people if you have found your soulmate- It's that simple!
