[Video Link]

1. Slow & Steady @1:24
They are patient, not pushy. They are supportive, not neglectful. They give you time to process things while letting you know that they are still there.

2. Cool-Headed @2:51
They are mindful about how they express their anger, and do so without trying to control others through it (e.g.: guilt trips, threats, blame, etc.). They take responsibility for their words and try to repair mistakes.

3. True to Yourself @4:07
They encourage you in achieving your dreams, developing healthy friendships, and other aspects of your life.

4. Clear Lines @5:14
They are respectful of your boundaries and personal needs.

5. Playing by the Rules @6:21
They listen to your experiences and perspectives, even if they may not personally agree. Conflict is treated as a way to work through things together, rather than some kind of battle to "win".
