Expectations In Dating

 

Frustration Finding LoveDon’t be discouraged when dating, if you go out with a lot of people but just can’t seem to find the right one. Dating can be hit or miss. Dating can be frustrating. It is totally normal to have a lot of misses before you eventually get a hit.

That doesn’t mean, however, that there are not some things that you can do to improve your chances of finding someone special. First, ask yourself whether you are following any patterns that keep getting you the same results. Think about the people that you have gone out with recently. Do they all have something in common?

For instance, a lot of times people will fall into the trap of dating people who are emotionally unavailable or unwilling to commit to a relationship. Alternatively, sometimes people go out with others based solely on their looks without giving much thought to their personality.

These patterns can keep you stuck in a rut, continually dating the same types of people. Chances are, if it doesn’t work with one person in this group, it won’t work with any of the others either.

Sometimes, to find success, you need to shake things up a bit. Try going out with someone who you wouldn’t normally consider for a date. You may be surprised by the results. Breaking out of your mold can sometimes help you find someone special.

If you are feeling frustrated with dating, you also may want to consider taking a break for a while. Why not spend some time on your own? Sometimes, getting to know yourself a little bit more can put you in a much better position when it comes to finding a soul mate. This doesn’t have to be a long break. Sometimes, even a couple of weeks without a date can be enough to recharge your batteries and get you excited about the process again.

Try not to be discouraged when dating, if you can’t find someone special right at the start. You may have to go on quite a few bad dates before you finally go on a good one. To help avoid frustration, try to focus on all of the possibilities that are out there, instead of concentrating on all of the dates that haven’t worked out. Eventually, if you keep trying, you are going to find someone who you want to be in a relationship with, hopefully for a very long time.
