Some people date, just to date. Some people date because they're lonely, some people date because they like having another person to care for. And some people date because they are looking for a life partner. When you reach this point of dating, there becomes a "check-list" for what your man needs to have.

Some of them are small things that you might not think are important, and some you may think "that's a given." But on this list are attributes a good man would have.

Here are a few things to make sure you have on that checklist of yours.
