And MOST IMPORTANTLY, agreeing to do your very best in maintaining a certain sense and level of loyalty, dedication AND love to SELF, so that giving the same to the other person won't seem like such a challenge or like such a hard thing to do.
Those are just my boundaries & my list of expectations though. Everyone's "list" is different.
When giving him your list, try to be geniune. Don't worry about what he'll think of certain expectations or whether or not he'll see certain things to be as important as you feel they are. Just be yourself.
Really think to yourself, "What is it that I want?" Then ask yourself, "What is it that I deserve?" "What REALISTICALLY can I expect for him to give to me or show me?" "What is it that I can give to him, thus it's no wonder I expect him to give me the same thing(s)? "What is it that I need him to offer me that most others who are just my friends, can't?" (And vice versa)
"What are my deal breakers?" "What do I consider to be NOT ok no matter what?" "What is it that I'd fear to happen, but yet wouldn't necessarily leave him for persay it happend?"
Be honest with yourself. You'd be surprised--his list might actually match yours (or atleast come close to it!)
