When dating some people are usually put off by the stress that goes along with dating; the stress of not knowing if the person will like them and/or if they will like the person. The expectations of dating are sometimes unrealistic because people tend to look for someone to fit their idea of “the one.” In most real life situations people do not live up to the ideas or expectations that others hold about “the one.” I believe the goal of dating should be to find compatibility in as many areas of a love relationship as possible or a find a possible match.
In mainstream society love and sexual compatibility is emphasized upon, this has resulted in the lost of focus on other important areas of love relationships such as friendship and partnership. To make dating easy, view dating as an opportunity to form compatibility; get to know the person you are dating by spending quality time talking, doing fun activities that exhibits desirable qualities such as kindness, patience, trust, team work, competitiveness, and willingness. Dating can also be an opportunity to evaluate your tolerance for the possible differences you might face, if a love relationship develops.
Think of dating as discovering another person; your objective is to find out the basic essentials about that person. For example, find out a person’s interests, beliefs, attitudes, values, dreams, aspirations, ambitions, passions, relations, and so on. To develop a better sense of character about a person, interactive activities are very helpful. Sometimes the opportunity to see a person at their worse may present itself; this is an opportunity to see a person’s true character.
Dating has its challenges including the expected anxiety and nervousness of making a good first impression or a love connection. With the objective of discovering, dating can be so much easier even if you do not make a love connection. Perceive dating as a fun adventure and discover as much as you can through talking and interactive activities. Considering there is always room for improvement, the plus is along the way you could find out things about yourself that you were not aware of.
