I think this is a really important thought that most people miss when dating. Is this someone I want to be with for the rest of my life? Friends don't always have to be that way and many people even of the opposite sex can be friends but not necessarily someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. The next question that comes should be "Am I someone that I would want to spend the rest of my life with? If not, then you've got some changing to do.
