Dating- What Kind Of A Person Will Be Right For You-1
All of us who are active on the dating scene have many questions in our mind. What kind of person should I date? How do I behave during a date? What is the result of my date? Did my date like me? Is he/she honest in what they say or I should be careful? The mind gets bombarded with questions. The situation becomes so trouble some for some of us that we get tired and say- no more dating for me.
We date a person because we are looking for a partner. Many of us may not marry the partner but we still look for long-term relationship. For that we must begin with asking about the kind of person who will be right for us. Otherwise the whole purpose is lost. Let us look at the qualities we must look for in our prospective partner.
Similarities in thinking, attraction towards each other, common values and political views and same approach towards various life situations are some of the areas we must investigate before we zero upon a person.
Attraction towards each other- if you are not attracted to the other person, nothing will work. Attraction can be of much types- physical attraction, attraction towards intellectual ability, attraction to the personality and so on. Analyze your attraction and decide if that will last for at least five years. If you think that you will no more be attracted to the person after some months, do not go ahead. Many times we are very much attracted towards a person. But after sometime the attraction wanes. This happens with physical attraction most often. You like somebody’s features and body build. After some moths, you find nothing new or attractive in that body. Why that happens is a subject for psychiatrists and psychologists to decide.
In this part, we have looked at attraction. In the second part we will look more at attraction and other aspects of a long-term relationship.

Dating Guidance For Gays
Being single can be tough, no matter your life situation or sexual preference. It wasn’t that long ago when people married for life – no matter what. Times have changed though. Divorces now outnumber successful marriages, and people are waiting longer to get married.
So what about “us”? The statistics we are seeing in the straight community have been pretty stable for some time in the gay community. More relationships fail than succeed, and people generally “wait” to commit to their partner. Gay people are still significantly outnumbered by straight people. That tends to work both ways. Either we find love early, or it takes a long damn time for Mr. or Ms. Right to walk into our lives.
Regardless, you are currently single. You may be jaded or bitter over the relationship. You may be going through a grieving process for the relationship. This is completely normal! Listen to your body and do what’s right for you. Hopefully your family and friend’s advice is truly with good intentions.
If you are seeking dating guidance for gay people, you’re in the right place. First, everything starts with you. This is also the longest stage of the process, but the most critical! It’s likely you already have a good idea of who you are as a person. If you have some issues to work on, now is the time. Dedicate your energy to finding a solution. It sounds clich
Dating For the Divorced
You have just gotten over a divorce and you are unsure if you are able to accept someone else again. If you are coming to terms with this issue, you are not alone. Most divorced people do not know if they really need a partner again, especially those with children. Will my new partner be able to accept my kids? Will my new partner treat me better than my last husband/wife? Whatever the reasons for the divorce are, you need to start thinking about the future. You need to know that the divorce is not entirely your fault and that you need not take full responsibility. Remember, you have the right to love someone else again.
Here are some tips for those who are seeking a new relationship.
1. Understand that your new partner is not a replacement of your previous relationship. Do not expect your new date to understand or do the things that your ex-spouse did. Each of us are different and in order to live a fulfilling life, you need to let go of your past.
2. Give yourself, and your new partner, time. It can be really difficult to accept a new love, especially if you had been hurt in your previous relationship. But like I say, not everyone is the same. He/she might not treat you the same way as your ex-spouse did. Learn as much things about him/her during the dating stage. If you think that things cannot work out, just move on.
3. Assess your current self-worth. Do you feel an all-time low and that your self-esteem has hit rock bottom? If you are suffering from a negative self-image, it is important that you take steps to create a positive image. Sit down and make a list of your positive attributes. You can also talk to a close friend about this. By reaffirming your good qualities, you are picking up where you left off. A good way to build your confidence is to read books on motivation and personal development.
4. Plan activities. Offer to hold parties with your friends and family, and invite your new date over. By doing so, your new love can get to know you and your friends better, and vice versa. Your friends can also help to access if your new partner is worth keeping.
5. Know that not everyone fits your criteria. Dating is a ‘testing’ stage and do not be too upset when things don’t work out. Take it as a lesson learnt. You just have to move on and look for the right person. If you choose to dwell over the past, your love problems will just lurk around you. Guess what? You are back to square one.
