Lessons to learn about love
If you’re struggling to meet the right person, here are some more lessons you can put into action, to help you find eligible singles.- Don’t make it the be-all and end-all. Having a relaxed attitude when seeking a mate will actually go in your favour. (Easier said than done we know). Don’t neglect your hobbies and friends while on your dating journey and limit the time you spend on dating sites and apps. Do be proactive about dating, just keep it in moderation.
- Check out what’s happening locally. Each area will have different opportunities. Keep an eye out for singles nights and fun things to do that encourage socialising with singles.
- It’s not all about looks. Physical attraction is important, but it’s not always instant. If you get on well, give it time before giving up.
- Be honest with yourself. Some people see themselves as flawless and so can’t quite find anyone to match up to their own sense of near perfection. A bit of self-reflection and self-knowledge will help you understand and identify your matches. And it’ll prove useful once you’re in a relationship too.
- Don’t do yourself down. The opposite end of this spectrum is those who lack confidence and feel they’re not good enough. Find people and activities who help boost your confidence and use a few mantras to remind yourself that you are most definitely ‘worth it’.
- Work out what you want and need in a relationship. These are not necessarily the same thing and needs should come before wants. This will help guide you to suitable suitors.
- Get out of your comfort zone. The old adage ‘do one thing every day that scares you’ is useful here. We’re not talking about taking ill-advised risks. Try booking onto an event or going on a blind date set up by friends, despite your feelings of nerves and shyness.
Life lessons about relationships
Waiting around for a fairytale can be a bad move. Some couples do have charming backstories, but it’s important to be realistic in your expectations. A diet of kooky TV shows and rom coms can warp our ideas about what a relationship looks like and that can prevent us from getting the genuine article.Life doesn’t always unfold in the ways we hope or imagine, but when we let go of those things, we open ourselves up to many more possibilities - and that is the really exciting part.
Most people are well-intentioned, but it pays to be smart in love nevertheless. Look out for these red flags in the early stages and you’ll avoid unnecessary drama and hassle in your love life.
