To my single brothers and sisters, who are maneuvering through the complex issues of today’s dating scene, I say, “Enjoy being single. Be committed to your own personal growth. And don’t rush into anything too quickly.”
3 Tips for Singles to Maximize their Dating Experience
- Enjoy Being Single
What does this mean? What I’m talking about is treasuring your time as a single person. Instead of spending 99.9% of your time focused on meeting that “special someone,” I encourage you to use this time in your life to explore all that life has to offer. Travel, take a class, start a book club, develop some hobbies or do all of the above. Yes, of course, it’s nice to experience these things with a partner. But why wait? My perspective is that those, who are waiting to first meet Mr. Right or Miss Awesome before experiencing all that life has to offer, are missing out on the fullness of living life today. And for many people, it’s while they are living life as a whole single person that they meet their ideal partner. So what are you going to do? Enjoy being single or focus all your time and energy in finding your soul mate? The choice is yours! - Be Committed to Your Own Personal Growth
What will make someone feel attracted to you? Sure, we may be initially attracted to someone based on their looks but after you get to know that person, he or she always looks different than when you first met. Why is this? I believe it’s because once we get to know someone, our feelings for this person either grow stronger or weaker based on that person’s personality, life experiences and values. No longer is it all about someone’s physical appearance. But rather their attractiveness resonates from who they are within. By you being committed to your personal growth, you will feel better about yourself and others will recognize your inner beauty. - Don’t Rush into Anything Too Quickly
Have you ever done something that you later regretted? Yes, we all have. While dating, it is critically important that you never allow someone else to determine how you feel about yourself. It’s true that when you’re dating someone, your emotions and feelings grow stronger. But realize this: Never allow yourself to feel pressured or manipulated to do something with which you are not comfortable. I’m very clear that if you feel pressured to do something, you will later have some major regrets. If your partner is really the person with whom you will marry and have a life-long relationship, then he or she will respect your decisions. If the person you are dating does not respect you then that’s a sign to end the relationship and move on with your life. It’s better to be alone than to be with someone who is not right for you. Listen up! You deserve the best so be willing to wait rather than doing something that you will later regret.
