Flirting Tips and Dating Advice
Be Patient
When it comes to love and romance, most of us want it to happen NOW! But patience can definitely be a virtue, especially when it comes to matters of the heart and sometimes flirting. When one is in a hurry, one can easily settle...for less than one might deserve. Don't. Don't be impatient and don't settle. It's understandable to not want to wait...to want that special something; that special someone immediately. When someone is lonely and looking for love or companionship, it is easy to jump on the first thing that comes along. Slow down and take it easy. Take some time (especially if you're just coming out of a relationship). This way you are more likely to look for the things that will really make you happy, instead of just instant gratification.
Take a step back and evaluate yourself. Ask yourself what it is you really want from a partner and relationship. If you're honest, you will be more likely to make a wise decision; a decision based on truth and reality, instead of dreams. Look back on the relationships that have worked, as well as the ones that haven't. Glean from both equally. Realize exactly what it was that didn't work in the relationships that failed. With that knowledge you can avoid being in the same situation all over again. It has been said that we all tend to pick the same person over and over again, and in a lot of instances that is true. Unfortunately, that's not always a good thing. Be wise as you reflect, and be real. This is one of those times that it doesn't behoove you to lie to yourself. If you know that there are certain qualities in a person that are requirements for you, in order to make for a satisfying union, than stick to your guns. On the other hand, don't negate someone for little things that you can easily overlook, if the big picture is an acceptable one. Remember what qualities make you smile and feel good inside. Seek out people that possess those qualities, along with some that you may have overlooked in the past. They say that good things come to those that wait. Try it. Don't be in a hurry for something so important, that can be so life altering, as a relationship.
So, take some time, delve deep inside and do some soul searching, if you will. Write it all down if you need to...like the old Ben Franklin close used by those in sales. Make a list of pros and cons, and add or subtract from the list as you go. Most likely that list will change as time goes on, as you change as an individual. So make adjustments as needed and go forth armed with the proper tools and a realistic picture. Be flexible and be open to new things, but be patient.
Happy Dating!
