7 Rules For Finding Love

Posted on January 11, 2016

There are no guarantees in love but consider the following points before setting out to find a partner :-

1) Know what you are looking for. Is it a hook-up or a spouse? Be honest with yourself and find ways to be consistent with your goal.

2) Be prepared to invest. For a relationship to last, it requires investment - emotional investment and investments of time and energy.

3) Know your value as a potential partner. An accurate assessment of your own mate value can help prevent wasted energy and streamline your mate search towards potentially interested partners.

4) Spend energy on yourself. People do not necessarily need a relationship context to experience considerable self-growth. Try something new and you build a bigger self concept, one that is more diverse, with more abilities, perspectives, skills, and beliefs.

5) Show your humor. Positive humor is particularly helpful in long-term relationships. On the other hand, sarcasm and jokes at the expense of others may lower your attractiveness level.

6) Friends can be incredibly helpful when you're looking for love. They can break down approach barriers at social gatherings, making it easier for you to talk to an attractive person, or they can build barriers when you're trying not to talk to someone.

7) Don't settle because you are afraid of being single. Being single may actually be an empowering and rewarding experience.
