How do you know when you have found a keeper? Is it when you have finally met someone who meets all your requirements for a perfect mate? Or is it just a feeling you have when you are with that person?
For Miley Cyrus, it is important for her boyfriend to get along well with her family. She says her family is a little strange, so any guy who still loves her after meeting them must be a keeper.
A keeper is a boyfriend or girlfriend you want to keep for a long time. You think this person would make a good long-term partner and you expect to be with him or her for a long time to come.
It can be hard to find a keeper, especially if you are picky. You might have to go on a lot of dates before you finally meet someone you can see yourself being with for a long time. Then you just have to hope that that person thinks you are a keeper, too.
What qualities make someone a keeper for you? Have you found a keeper yet?
