We often date based on initial impressions, the rush of excitement that comes from falling in love with someone or being physically attracted to someone. Then we end up wondering why we fall into that trap over and over. One answer that works for people looking to date for quality and excitement is to date smart. Smart dating is when we pick people based on feeling great about ourselves and making smart choices. Here are some tips that will help you date more effectively.
1. Get as healthy as possible. People that feel great about themselves make much better dating choices than those who simply bounce around feeling poorly and selecting partners based on low expectations.
2. Treat yourself well. You deserve to be treated genuinely well. This means someone who lets you be you, who doesn't control you, who builds up your self-esteem and who supports you unconditionally.
3. Try to pace yourself. Excitement is great but it can lead you to do things you may not feel that great about later. Try to jumping into dating because you don't feel great alone.
4. Ask yourself, "In what ways does this person make me feel great about myself?"
5. Get objective outside help to assist you in learning more about yourself and how to date well. People who know you may mean well but they aren't always dating experts.
Take care,
