I always knew that I wanted to be in a relationship. I wanted to be in a loving, healthy intimate relationship. But it took me long to finally find the person whom I could build this kind of relationship with.
In retrospect, it could be because there were several personal issues that I had to work on first before I could be ready for a lasting intimate relationship.
I had to go through that path, that process, which made me ready for a close relationship. If I hadn´t, I don´t think the happy relationship that I have now would ever be successful.
So what makes you cut out for intimate relationships?
You are cut out for an intimate relationship if you are able to fulfill the needs of another adult in that intimate bond.
“An adult commitment is a thoroughly truthful enterprise of ongoing love.” ~ David Richo, How to be an Adult in Relationships
“It entails an unremitting willingness to keep agreements and handle obstacles by adressing, processing, and resolving conflicts.” This should be true to both the two adults in the intimate relationship. Sometimes, even if you are emotionally matured and able to handle and resolve conflicts, if the the other adult isn`t, then the relationship still won´t work.
As a matured adult, you´re no longer charmed by good looks or sweet talks. You look beyond them. What matters more to you is an enduring mutual commitment.
Your love is bonded by commitment, not by clinging. As you may know, you can feel attached to someone and imagine you love him, or someone can be attached to you and you imagine he loves you. How can you tell the difference? Being attached will immobilize you, while true love will help you progress and joyfully evolve.

You are able to differentiate dependency from connection. “Insecure people may try to create a connection with you by fostering dependency through the offer of riches, humor, flattery, indebtedness, and the like.
On the other hand, you are NOT cut out for a relationship if you aren´t relationship-oriented, or if you simply have no interest in doing the work required for a relationship.
Are you more comfortable with light relationships or friendships? Do you truthfully recognize that intimacy is not for you? If you do, there´s nothing wrong with you.
You are perfectly normal. But you have to be careful not to succumb to family/society´s pressure to be in an intimate relationship, or even marriage, if that isn´t what you want, or if you aren´t ready for it yet.
Below are more traits of a person who isn´t cut out for intimate relationships.
Traits I. Some hard-wired traits that prevent you from succeeding in relationships.
1. Introversion so extreme that you cannot tolerate togetherness for a very long time.
2. Mental derangement
3. Active addiction
4. Misogyny or misanthropy
