Choose Your Dates Wisely

It seems that you’ve been dating forever. You’ve just hit thirty and you’re at the peak of your career. You frequent the hippest places and meet lots of interesting people. And quite a number of them have actually worked out.

Despite the laughter and constant companionship this lifestyle has to offer, you feel alone. You just can’t seem to find the right person. You find yourself getting tired and want to settle down – with the right one. Such a scenario has made you think whether or not you are the problem. You start asking: “Is anything wrong with me? Why can’t I seem to find the right one?”

Before you get all depressed and start hiding from the world, take a minute to think of your dating habits. Are you dating the right kind of people? Here are some things to consider when choosing a date:

1. Choose someone who is close to your age. Whether we admit or not, quite a number of us are attracted to either older or younger people. While there is really nothing wrong with going out with an older bloke, watch out. Five years they say, is the ideal gap. Anything more than that may cause problems. The point is to be able to relate with your partner. While an older man may give you security, you may want to think twice before dating your “grandfather”.

2. Compatibility plays a big part in dating. By the same token, an excellent choice of date would be someone who you can talk to. Sure, we may be able to talk to each other during the first few dates. The problem however arises when we start getting more intimate. A lot of couples know that there is something special when they can just sit there without saying a word and yet have a fantastic time together. The mere presence of their loved one is enough to send them to “cloud nine”. And you don’t have to be alike. Just being able to understand each other and “connecting” no matter what the situation is all that’s required.

3. Someone who will stick like glue. There are quite a number of people who long to be with someone. But when things get just a teensy bit rough, they disappear. Or they may be committed but can’t be found most of the time. They are either too busy or always out of town. These are the “escape artists” – people who want relationships for the good things they offer. They don’t want the whole package: the good and not-so-good bits. They won’t face the reality that a relationship entails sharing your life with the person, no matter what your days are like.

So there you have it. Just some points to ponder on while sulking in your room (or wherever it is you sulk). Remember that dating takes patience and bit of sensibility as well. Good luck.
