There comes a point in every relationship where you have to figure out what your future will be.  You have to make that choice whether you want to move forward and consider marriage or if you are better off trying to find a new girlfriend.  When that point comes in your relationship you may know the answer right off the bat.  For some of you, though, there may still be questions.  Here’s some advice on how you can figure out just what the next step should be.

Are you Happy?

You really have to decide if you are happy in this relationship.  Does she make you smile when you see her?  Do you still want to be around her?  Could you imagine being with her for the rest of your life?  If you cannot figure out what your feelings are then it may be time to really think over your relationship.  You may need to work more on your relationship or this may be the time to end things.  If she truly makes you happy then you should not have a doubt in your mind.

Are your Feelings Real?

Are you really in love or are you just playing a role?  Too many times in a relationship we tend to just stick with it because it is familiar.  We end up in a slump where we are just so used to being with her that we don’t think about how we really feel anymore.  You need to make sure that those feelings of love are still real and still there.

Does She Still Love You?

You also have to consider her feelings.  Is she still into you?  You need to think about how you interact.  Think about how she treats you.  Make sure that she is still in this relationship.

If you can say you are in love and you really want to be with this woman and she wants to be with you then it may just be the time to go ring shopping.  Otherwise, you may need to do more work or simply end things.
