Date: He’s Honest

You ask him a question and he doesn’t answer with an autopilot response like “aha”. He doesn’t beat around the bush either. He says what he means, and he’s really transparent about his feelings. His forward nature makes him a total keeper in our book, because honesty is the foundation of any relationship. It shows he has integrity, and that he respects and values you. These are major pluses on your checklist.
