How do you know if a man is good enough for you? ›

They often respond minutes after you send your message. If it's not possible to do so because they're busy, then they'll let you know.

You Have a Strong Desire to Be Around Them

If so, this can also be a sign the universe shows you are meant to be together. Natural desire is one of the most prominent indicators of compatibility. If both of you crave to be together 24/7 and have a strong connection, your relationship will thrive in the long run.

There are a few dead giveaways that indicate he's interested. If he holds a hug for a super long time or he “accidentally” brushes your shoulder or touches you, he's probably into you. If he's just being friendly, he may smile and make eye contact, but he won't go out of his way to touch you.
