Recognizing a good man when dating in 2023 can be challenging, but there are some key characteristics to look for. A good man should be honest, respectful, and kind. He should also be dependable and have a strong sense of integrity. Additionally, a good man should be able to communicate effectively and actively listen to you when you are speaking. It's also important to look for a man who is compatible with you in terms of values, interests and lifestyle. In general, a good man is someone who treats you well, makes you feel good about yourself, and supports your goals and aspirations.
