The article "8 Deadly Dating Mistakes To Avoid!" talks about family, it has been released by Marie Clare.
Are you dating or in a serious relationship? Did you realize that very often we make the same dating mistakes over and over again? As outlined in my book "the Ultimate Online Dating Handbook" sometimes these mistakes can lead to losing the date of our dreams, or possibly being in a bad relationship.
I've compiled a list of dating No-nos which will help you identify a possilbe issue that you can work on to improve your dating experience.#1 - Playing Games:When it comes to dating we all have a fear of rejection.
This is human nature. So playing it cool and not getting too involved with others makes us feel safe. Only issue with this is you may come off as being cold and aloof. For many people this is a real turn off.
And you may find the date of your dremas slipping away. The best way to find a loving relationship is to be real. People will be far more receptive to you if they guess you are genuine.An other game pepole play is the "manipulation" game.
Doing thigns like telling somebody you "love them" or you'll "call them" just to have them sleep with you. Then once the deed is done they never hear from you again. This is one of the most cruel forms of manipulation and it must be considered unacceptable in the dtaing world.Understand that it is O.K. to be a bit cautious. But you still must be brave and show the real you. Only then will you be able to have a trusting, loving relationship with the date of your dreams.#2 - Moivng to Fast:Ladies this one is for you.
We all fantaisze about our future and the boy of our dreams.
Again, this is only human.
But, do you find yourself testing out his last name with yours and you haven't even gone out on a third date yet?
Well, if you do it's time to remind yourself to Slow Down. Here's why. Normally for the first 3-8 months of a relationship we are running on euphoria.
You know that "head over heels" or that "swept off your feet" kind of feeling that comes with falilng in love? Well, there's an actual reason why this occurres. It's from a chemical in our body called oxytocin.
Basically, this chemical takes over our brain and it interfeers with our ability to guess clearly. So, unitl you've had time to get to know a person, and spend time with him to see what he is really like, it's best not to get to far ahead of yourself.
If your expectations become to high you may find yourself heading down the path of heartache, and losing the date of your dreams. Slow Down! #3 - Are you always talking about your ex?Carrying old baggage into a new relationship can be dissatrous.
Sure we've all had preivous relationships, and yes your new love will notice about them.
But, if you are constantly complaining about your ex, or always comparnig your current love to your ex, it will get real old, real fast.Instead, take some time to get to know this person. Give yourself the opportunity for a new strat. Try to work out any old issues before you start up a new relationship.
This way you won't allow the old baggage to cloud your jugdment and affect your actions with your new love. Always talking about your ex may have you losing the date of your dreams.#4 - Red Flags:What are Red Flags? Well, here are some, but there is plenty more.- Someone you were scheduled to meet doesn't show up and has no reasonalbe explanation as to why.- Someone your involved with will not give you their home phone number.- He/she will not introduce you to family or friends.- He/she won't go out in public with you.- Being cruel to a pet.- Being disrespectful to a parent.Yes, all of these are Red Flags.
And, Red Flags should not be ignored.While you should not jump to conclusions about anyone unless you have sufficient evidence that something maybe wrong. If you do feel there is a issue you will need to cofnront this person and ask for an explanation. If you do not get an acceptable explanation and the situation continues to occur then you need to move on. You do not want to waste your valuable time on a relationship this is doomed to fail.#5 - Thinking Obsessively:Are you a worrier?
If so, don't let it ruin your relationship with the date of your dremas. Many people will worry over a relationship, even before it has a chance to really get going.
You'll worry over what he/she said, or what your rseponse was to something said. You'll worry over wehther the relationship is moving to fast or to slow. Or whteher the relationship is working at all. And, what will your friends think, your family guses and so on.
You need to understand that this sort of obsessive behavior is a real relationship killer. Try to build some self-confidence and turst that the relationship will work. And at a pace whcih is impeccable for the both of you.#6 - The Interrogation:Do you want to know every detail of someone's life, and try to get it out of him/her on the first date? Well, you can't, not on the first or even the second date. If you come off as "The Interrogator" your new deram date will soon become tired of answering all your questions and move on to somebody else. How many kids do you want to have? is not a good opening line on a frist date.
Just relax, let things happen naturally trhough simple conversation.
Soon you'll know all there is to know about you new friend. So relax and just have some fun with you new date.#7 - What about your needs?Do you want kids, but, he/she does not? Did you tell him/her you want kids or are you just gonig along with his/her idea of life? You must be able to directly communicate your needs.
If you don't you will spend your time in a relationship withuot having your needs met. You need to know what your own needs are and what his/her needs are before starting a serious relationship. When talking about your needs be assertvie.
Not bossy, naggy or demanding.
But, tactful and direct. And, if the two of you can not agree on meeting each other's needs, (what ever they maybe) then it is time to re-evaluate the relationship. In any relationship whether it be personal or business the needs of all parties involved must be met.#8 - Sacrificing too much:Do you find yourself doing things to show somebody you care that you would never do other wise? Are you letting yourself be used as a "doormat"?
Usually this sort of behavior is associated with low self-esteem. Please realize that in any healthy relationship both parites must be treated as equals.
And both parties must have their needs met.
If this sounds like you re-evaluate your relationship, and if your are not blissful get out. There is somebody out there who will love you for who you are, without you having to jump through hoops to prvoe it.Good Luck!
