I can understand how dating multiple people can become a ego boost. You’re in high demand, people are jockeying for your time, it’s all about YOU. It’s all fun and games until somebody wants more.

This is usually when the drama starts. It’s not always easy pursuing these mini “relationships” and then you have to decide how and when to narrow things down to one…or at least TWO.

I have noticed that younger guys say that it’s best to juggle many women, but it gets really old, really fast for them. I’ve seen a lot of people who prefer to date one person and see how things turn out.

Do you think single people are still playing the numbers game? Do you prefer to have multiple men or women to choose from or date only one person at a time?

What are the pros and cons to juggling multiple dates? What’s the best way to do it without causing unnecessary drama and using deceit?

With that in mind, we have come up with 15 signs that you’re dating a soul mate. You don’t have to check off all of these points to be sure about someone — but if you can say yes to several, you’ve found a very special mate.1. You tell him things you don’t tell anyone else. We don’t mean blurting something out when you’re emotionally unstable, but the desire to tell him intimate details about your life means you trust him — a major component of successful long-term love.

2. You let her see you in moments of weakness. It’s easy to be happy with someone when you’re feeling good about life. But what about when you’re not doing so well? Do you want to see her when you’ve been denied a raise, or your cat died, or you had a plain old bad day? She should be a comfort during tough times, not a burden.

3. You respect him. You don’t want to change the essence of who he is. There may be stuff that irritates you in everyday life — he insists on wearing his favorite holey T-shirt, he eats sugar cereal for dinner, he still watches Saturday morning cartoons — but you like him, plain and simple.

4. You want him to meet your parents. You feel proud of him and you want to show him off — as opposed to feeling like you have to make excuses for him.

5. You can imagine a future together. You don’t have to practice writing your first name with his last name, but do you periodically let your mind wander to picture a life together? Is it amazing?

6. You’re not afraid to disagree with him. You know that even if you fight, he’ll listen to you and won’t brush you off. He takes you seriously, even when he thinks you’re wrong.

7. You want to work out your major differences. If you do have crucial differences that will impact your future together — different opinions about religion, money, or something else — you want to work them out with him, and you believe you can come to a conclusion that will satisfy both of you.

8. You laugh together. Laughter is one of life’s simplest pleasures — you should definitely be able to crack each other up.

9. You’re incredibly, utterly, surprisingly attracted to her. Physical chemistry is an undeniably important ingredient in a healthy relationship. And if she’s not a classic beauty or your usual “type”? Even more reason to think she’s the one.

10. It’s OK to be quiet around her. You don’t feel like you have to fill the space between you with chatter or other interaction. Instead, you feel an easy comfort.

11. You feel like yourself around him. You don’t feel like you have to edit your thoughts; you’re not self-conscious or anxious.

12. You need him the right amount. You long for him — but not too much. Some neediness is good, but too much breeds discontent.

13. You don’t feel too jealous. You’re comfortable with him going out with his friends — even female friends. You let each other have your own lives and hobbies.

14. You feel like she makes you a better person. She makes you feel smart, funny, attractive, creative — like the best version of yourself. You feel like she brings out and complements the best parts of you.

15. She just gets you. Sometimes it’s that easy. You feel like she understands some essential part of you that you can’t explain or articulate. It’s a warm, comfortable feeling — and one you should have with the person you marry.

Every person sits across from each other. The host then gives instructions for you to have a three minute conversation at the sound of a bell with the person sitting across from you- giving each person a minute and thirty seconds to speak and exchange business cards. After three minutes, the bell is sounded and everyone in designated rows shifts to the right, while the facing rows remain in place. At the end of the event, the host gives each participant a list of all the attendees and their contact information.

Because of this limited time, the way you dress and the questions you ask are really important. One thing you really don’t have is the luxury of time. If you are tongue-tied, you are out of the picture. No one wants to date someone who does not talk, is boring or nervous.

So dating experts advise that short of having a paper full of questions, you must be ready with a list of interesting, impressive and enjoyable questions that will keep the conversation thriving in those five-ten minutes. Here are some suggestions:

1) What do you do for work? – It is an introductory question. It may reveal the professional status of a person but little about his personality. So move on to another question.

2) Where are you from? – This reveals background. It throws better light on the person.

3) What do you think is the most important value in a relationship?

4) Do you want to marry or have you ever been married? This is important, as it will reveal if both are moving in the same direction – towards or away from marriage.

5) What do you look for in a husband/wife? Try to elicit an honest answer.

6) Do you want/do you have any children? An important question if you are looking for a long-term relationship and your partner is not.

7) What do you do for fun? – This will throw light on whether your leisure activities match. Are you a bookworm and she an outdoorsy person?

8) Is religion important to you? 24×7 living together means understanding on certain basic issues like religious beliefs.

9) Which is your favorite music and your favorite singer/band? Do you share musical tastes?

10) Do you like animals/keep pets? Are you going to clash on this issue – one an animal hater, the other a pet lover?

10) How do you spend your spare time? This is important, as it will really help if both love to do the same things in spare time.

11) Where do you see yourself in five years time? Watch out if he has no definite goals for the future and is in a rut. A positive mark for her if she has her life and career planned out positively.

12) If you were an animal in the wild, what would you be? Silly, amusing question to get the laughs.

13) If you have friends coming over, what would you cook?

14) Describe your perfect holiday. One thinks frozen Alaska, the other sunny Australia.

15) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

16) Which is the one job in the world that you would love to do? Throws light on likes and dislikes.

17) Who is your favorite actor/actress/celebrity and why?

18) What is your favorite sporting activity?

19) Which is your favorite genre of movies – comedy/thriller/action?

20) Are you a morning person or a night person?
