"Bittersweet" is probably the best expression to describe dating. On one date you are ready to commit and are head over heels in love, and the next one you feel like cupid missed you by a mile and you seem to be hitting a blank wall with your dates more often than you would like.
If you are in the latter end of the spectrum, you probably want to call a timeout, exhale, introspect, and make a few needed changes before jumping back into the dating game.
Most people put a lot of thought into job hunting or sales prospecting and neglect having a thoughtful approach to dating. Asking yourself some questions and finding brutally honest answers will go a long way in rejuvenating your dating experience.
Here are the five important questions to clear the murky waters:
Do You Know What Your Dating Objectives Are?
Objectives helps clarify your motives as well as set standards for yourself that you would like to live up to. Entering a situation without objectives will have you moving around without direction and purpose.
Dating objectives could be as simple as taking a date out for a cup of coffee or dinner to get to know them better with no physical relations involved. The aim of the time together is to build or strengthen a friendship and see where it may lead in the future, letting things happen organically over time.
Additional objectives could be to grow in your character or decision making patterns as a partner.
Are You Willing to Compromise?
In a dating relationship, there will be a difference in ideas, logic and approach to activities and situations. It is natural to not see eye to eye on everything. A lack of willingness to compromise and accommodate the other party may bring a good thing hurtling down.
Learn to strike a balance where you are not the one always compromising, but neither are you the one who is too rigid and set in your ways.
Are You Pretending to Be Someone You are Not?
Trying to act like someone your not can be exhausting and is just not worth the effort. The great thing about dating is how true colors are revealed over time and that is one of the important things about the dating process.
How will you feel when you realize your date has colored the truth about their character causing you to fall in love with an illusion? Lying about who you are is the worst blunder you can make in dating.
Are you confident?
Confidence can cover over a multitude of wrongs. You may not be the smartest tool in the shed but simply being confident has a way of winning people over. However, overconfidence or the complete lack of it has the exact opposite effect in dating. In fact, it makes your insecurities even more glaring.
Don't overthink a date and get consumed by what you will say, how you will say it or sitting under the right lighting with your best selfie side to your date. Instead, be natural and the best version of yourself you can possibly be, and watch as you charm your way into your date's heart.
Do You Love Yourself?
What can you do to feel better about yourself on a daily basis? Maybe it's choosing new natural eye cream products or cosmetics and starting a self care routine, so that you go out each day looking your best. Maybe it's about taking up a flamenco dancing class. Whatever you can do to connect with yourself, it will help you form a connection with a special partner.
