Most of us struggle to find someone to be with. We think we are ready but maybe we need to consider a few things first. Here are 5 dating advice that might help you:
1. Best foot forward doesn’t work all the time
It doesn’t have to be about displaying grand gestures but giving respect, showing empathy, and getting to know the person can go far more than pretending to be someone’s ideal partner that lacks consistency.
2. Skip the macho mentality, showing vulnerability and authenticity is okay
Some people want someone who can understand their pain, and struggles and be with them to hold them and let them know that they aren’t alone in this world.
3. Take rejections as a learning process to be better next time
It doesn’t feel great when you get rejected, but it is the best time to reflect, and understand what went wrong and how to improve. Do it for yourself, not for other people.
Knowing when and how to start working on yourself could take a while for some. The solution however, includes a combination of being aware of your past traumas and accepting them.
4. Don’t listen to respond but listen to understand
Talking to someone is indeed crucial if you want to get to know them better. But actively listening and observing their emotions while they genuinely share their thoughts is a gift.
A gift that you can learn over time.
5. Don’t date if you are looking for someone to complete you
Some think that relationships can get rid of our sadness.
Expecting our partner to solve our problem can be chaotic, so you should only start dating when you think you are ready, and when you know how to make yourself happy.
Start focusing on growing together and not assuming that your partner is the quick fix.
