Sometimes it’s easy to focus on all the annoying things your other half does, and forget how great they are overall.
Little gestures can make all the difference in a relationship and really brighten up your day.
Here are seven signs you’ve nabbed yourself a keeper…
1. They make an effort with your family
Does your partner bring a little present for your mam when they come to visit, and remember all your friends’ names? You’ve found a good egg.
2. They give you compliments
If your other half tells you when you look good and compliments you on things apart from your looks, you’re in business!
3. They make you food
Does bae cook you a full Irish on a Sunday or make dinner when you’ve had a long day at work? There’s nothing better.
my boyfriend doesn’t have work today so whilst i’m working he went food shopping to cook me a surprise dinner tonight, too cute ????❤️

4. Other people are jealous
Do you catch people checking out your OH? Do your mates tell you you’ve landed a real catch? They might be right!
5. They’re willing to compromise
When your couch potato boyfriend gets up early to go on a hike with you, or your girlfriend agrees to watch your favourite TV show even though she’s not a fan, you’re onto a winner.
Having a boyfriend from the country now means GAA is in my life. I have no idea what I’m about to watch. God help us all #MayoVsDublin

6. They remember things you tell them
Do they know all your likes and dislikes? Do they remember the details from stories you told them ages ago? Either they have a photographic memory or they’re a little gem.
I’m such a picky eater that when we started dating my boyfriend made a list of food I eat so he would remember ????❤️ pic.twitter.com/j8Mses1EuL

7. They surprise you with Milk Tray chocolates
A top class partner will bring you treats without you having to ask – like a delicious box of Milk Tray.
Bonus points if they leave your favourite chocolates untouched even though they’re reeeeally tempted to eat them!
