Well I guess u have to pay attention to a set of things before deciding that this man or woman is a valid partner for long term. So u has to ask urself the following:

-Does He/she really tempt me sexually, and do I find his/her physical appearance fitting my fantasies to at least 80%?

-Exploring the other part needs to judge whether u can meet them or not, with concentration on the bed relation as it's the 90% breaker of all marriages by leading to misery of cheating...etc?

-Does he/she really likes my smell, and the way I dress?

-Can we really enjoy a long conversation all or most of the time?

-Would I be satisfied with the kind of life style he/she is offering as for money, relatives, social standards, clean environment...etc, or I need more?

-And finally the golden rule: Never make a baby before at least one and half years of marriage to make sure that this partner is a long term material.

Those actually the things I learned from my personal experiences and hope would be of a use.
