*nods* My ex treated me like a princess at the beginning too.
I'd be wary of thinking anyone is a 'keeper' and a 'good catch' based on how they treat you at the very beginning when they are in wooing mode. Attracting a mate is a little like going for a job interview.. you're on your best behaviour.. it's how they perform a few months down the line is probably a better indicator.
