    Um, not exactly.

    1 - I think we both went for it.
    2 - he didn't call. Texted. Might have been 48 hrs or more.
    3 - was fun and light.
    4 - I can't remember. Probably texted a lot, though.
    5 - yeah no. He wanted to spend his free weekends with me, but we wanted our own lives (still do!)
    6 - maybe? I knew he wasn't dating anyone else.
    7 - absolutely not! I was only 19. He was afraid to scare me off with becoming more serious and consequently discussing marriage after 2 years, never mind within the 1st month!

    Meh, if you know, you know. Doesn't matter what a list tells you to look for. Everyone is different.

    Eh...I think that all relationships are different and develop in different way and on different time lines, and the fate of them can't really be determined by ticking off boxes on a check list like this. In the case of my and D, for instance, most of these aren't even applicable to our relationship because we met the day we moved in together. I guess he technically made the first move, but we more just sort of fell in together without any traditional dating involved. We lived together and worked together so by default spent a ton of time together. He's always been unconditionally loyal, but it took three years before we BOTH started thinking/talking about marriage.

    I get this post is just for fun, but "lists" like this really bother me--there are women who use things like this as a real check-list, and they'll probably miss out on something great that just needs more time to develop. I can't make up anyone in my head who would suit me better than D, but had I gone by this list I wouldn't have every bothered with him.

    he did all those things within 3 days! but we had had some history in high school, so we weren't complete strangers when we really started dating as adults.

    All but 7, we didn't talk about marriage for a couple of months, but he's still one of the good ones!

    I'd say all those except the last one. We didn't talk marriage for at least a few months.
