getting a great start on finding a committed partner. Some of them are just basic
common sense; others might surprise you. These “do’s” are suggestions
for making dating better and more purposeful. And they are positive, communicative,
fun and respectful.
Include An Event
Plan the first date to include an event, such as a movie, museum,
concert or walk, along with talk time. You don’t want to just sit and bare souls
all evening and if you don’t particularly like his soul, at least you have something
else to focus on. Also, determining sexual interest doesn’t take up much time and
chemistry is the juice of life. But you’re shopping for a relationship so you need
to invest time to give yourself the chance not to dismiss a keeper too soon and
to make sure the two of you have more going for you than desire.
Multitude of Subjects
Men who talk about their work all the time are not as interesting as men who have
many interests including and particularly the person they are on the date with.
Fifty percent of the airtime is yours so stay above thirty percent and below seventy
percent. No relationship is an exact 50/50 but balance needs to be established for harmony to begin.
A Date is a date
or therapist. Save your real or perceived problems and flaws until he is deeply
interested in you or at least interested. The goal of a first date is to have a
good time, and expect yourself to
contribute 60% of the effort toward achieving toward achieving
that goal.

of all: time wasting. If he isn’t eligible by your standards, move on.
Develop Your Communication
listener, practice listening you need to be more self-revealing, practice expressing yourself more. You can’t feel loved if you don’t feel understood and you can’t feel
understood if you are unable to tell him who you are. And vice versa: a partner
can’t feel loved unless you can listen without interrupting when he tells you what
he wants to say
“Thank you for dumping me”
you were thinking. “Thank you for dumping me.” When abandonment waves have passed you sometimes realize that being left was a lucky break. He simply knew before you did that you were wrong for each other.
Be Assertive
