Expert Answer

That depends on the person, but there are some things that can you give insight into what kind of relationship is best for you. Start by looking at your past relationships. Make a list of the things you liked and didn't like about your previous relationships, as well as what worked and didn't work. You can even look at good and bad dates to give you an idea of what you'd prefer. That will help you figure out what to look for in a partner and a relationship.

Expert Answer

To discover what you want in your ideal partner, ask yourself what's important in your life. For instance, if you have a hobby or something that takes up a lot of your time, decide whether that's something that you want to include someone else in. Also, think about what you hope your future will be like, as well as what kind of person you think would fit into that. You can also take a personality test. Search online for personality tests and take a few to give you some insight into what you might be looking for and what might be best for you

Spend time around him if possible to show interest and get to know him. It's up to him to reciprocate and let you know if he feels the same way.

He may be shy or not know how to directly bring up the subject to you. You can help him along by being open about it and letting him know how you feel.

Question

If I'm interested in someone that I don't see often, is it a good idea to start talking to them through text or messaging?

Community Answer

Yes, but don't overdo it. Opening up communication is a great way to get things started, but messaging all day long could be seen as clingy or desperate.
