Maybe you have been in a long term relationship for a number of years and have just broken it off or maybe you have just moved to new area and looking for love. For what ever reason being single certainly has it’s up and downs.
Whether you are Straight or Gay,Rich or Poor,White,African American,Hispanic, Asian or any of the multitude of cultures and backgrounds loneliness has no such limits but to find the man or woman of your dreams you need to have a plan otherwise you’ll just remain at home and spend many lonely days just dreaming of finding love.
True love is not finding someone else but finding your other half.
Whether you use the more traditional methods of finding that special person such as meeting in bars, clubs and at work or you choose the latest internet and mobile dating sites to hook up with someone the principles are still the same you have to have a plan or you’ll find yourself disappointed.
So I have put together a few guidelines on how you can find love in your city.
Your Plan To Find Love In Your City
1. Make Sure You Know Your Own Values and Beliefs: When looking for a long term partner or a casual date we all have some core beliefs which drive us. These might be different for men and women but usually they will be very personal and part of what makes you you and whilst we might have heard opposites are attracted to each other it’s rare that deep down or core values actually vary that much with someone you are likely to be attracted to long term.
Things such as religion, honesty, integrity, views of fidelity and or marriage are all important to most people irrespective of background. Other issues which many people have rooted feelings about are family and the desire to have children, your views as to dealing with money and property and things of financial value. Some men and women will not date a person who has been divorced or of a different religion or a different race. Don’t forget going against your own core values is rarely the start of succesful relationship.
2. Fulfilling Your Emotion Needs: Peoples emotional needs vary considerably and this means that when we look for a partner we need to be mindful of not only of our own needs but those of any prospective partner. Some people regard intimacy as an essential part of a loving relationship whilst other regard sex as far less of big deal. But remember this, a partner can only help so much with your emotional needs if your expectations are unrealistic emotionally no partner is likely to bring you the security and happiness you desire.
3. What Character Traits Are Your Looking For In A Partner?:We all have our core values and when they are fulfilled we are some way towards finding happiness and fulfilling our emotional needs in a relationship but finding love is more complex than that we need to look at what character traits a person has or doesn’t have and decide whether that fulfills our own desires. How does the person you are with relate to you do they consider your feelings before their own. Are they happy and easy going or argumentative and always finding fault. Many relationships are doomed to fail because these key character traits are missing so when looking for a long term partner don’t ignore your own character and personality and make sure your partner’s is compatible.
4. Don’t Narrow Your Options To Quickly:In the 21st Century in most cultures our life time partner is a matter of personal selection so if out dating for the first time round or back in the dating game because of failed relationship, move to a new area or any other reason don’t be tempted to sleep with the first person you are attracted to (especially on a first date). In todays society the success of a realtionship lasting more than a few days still depends on getting to know your partner and that means on all levels not just in the bedroom.
Many dating experts say you should play the field after all their are plenty of fish in the sea but we suggest that dating many (at least four people) is a good idea but if you want more than a casual fling it’s probably best to keep your number of bedroom partners some what lower. It’s still according to surveys carried out to find a long lasting relationship which began as a potential “one night stand”.
5. Keep Making Sure You Are Not Staying In A Realtionship For The Wrong Reasons: I read recently that when dating and then finding a partner in the longer term you should analyse the relationship and make sure that you are not settling for something which doesn’t tick all your boxes. Are you settling for second best in your relationship because of apathy or fear or any other reason. Ask yourself this question does the person you are starting to settle down with still deliever as you want are they still as loving, caring, honest, supportive. If you aren’t living together what is it that you feel would make you want to live with this person and on the other hand what worries you about this person. If the concerns list is to heavily weighted it’s probably best to cut your loses before you become too heavily invested in the relationship.
So there you have it just a few guidelines to finding true love in your city. Remember this though if you stay at home and wonder what might go wrong with a date or set your standards too high you could be lonely for a very long while. Take the plunge get out there join a dating site, or just start talking to people and getting out in the city and who knows before you know it you might find love in your city and even long term happiness.
