Dating is a fun activity if you know what moves to pull and you are confident enough to put yourself out there. There's a shoal of fish out at sea, you only need to dive deep and find one that suits you perfectly.

There are plenty of women yet not all are keepers; or as Kenyans call them 'wife materials'. 

Here are some effective tips to keep in mind while you are out at sea:

1. Offers a bedrock

She inspires you to greater heights as you stretch to claim your potential. However, this has to be done with grace without appearing to be nagging or too demanding. She's patient with you because she trusts your judgement and believes that you'll make the right call when push comes to shove.

2. She's open with you

She doesn't play games with you or try to arouse the feelings of jealousy from you. She's totally safe in your arms and trusts that your bond is stronger than ever with each passing day. She doesn't suffer any insecurities since she knows her worth.

3. She's not selfish

She doesn't act like the whole world revolves around her. She offers her love and respect to you willingly and expects the same from you. She's always willing to adjust and compromise her desires so as to fit the relationship needs and requirements.

4. She's not needy

A clingy woman is a turn off for every man. A woman who doesn't need you around her at every tick of the clock is a keeper. She understands that you're both two independent individuals with lives outside your relationship. She allows you space to express yourself as she does the same.

5. She fills you with pride

If you're currently dating a woman who feels you with pride every single time you look at her, then she's a keeper. You never feel anxious to flaunt her by your side either to friends or family. She has grace in her style and carries herself well in front of all kinds of people.

6. She's independent

A woman who knows how to take care of herself without a man's help is a keeper. If she can take care of her financial, physical and mental state on her own, then she definitely is a wife material. Relationships nowadays are fast turning into business opportunities.

7. A respectful social media presence

If her social media presence is something that she'll never feel the need to hide or be embarrassed about, then she's probably a keeper. This could actually be the litmus test for the current millennials who seem to hide behind technology while propagating malicious agendas and nudity.

8. Confident between the sheets

A woman who's not scared to express herself and impose her desires in the bedroom is definitely for keeps. She knows what she wants and how she wants it. She's also not afraid of pointing it out, embracing her sexuality fully.

9. She's great at communicating

She understands the complexities of life. She also realizes that each situation in your relationship is different and doesn't try to make a big deal out of common arguments. This mutual understanding helps the couples in discussing their issues rather than using them to tear each other apart.
