I often find myself surfing the net, searching for dating tips and relationship ideas. It's not because I am deperate, I'm only curious about how other people define a good relationship. In all of my research, I have found that one of the things that keep a relationship alive is variety. Adding a little spice in eachother's life keeps people guessing and wondering what will come nest in a relationship. The second thing is privacy. Have you ever wondered why Hollywood relationships often have time limits? And the third and probably most important key to a successful relationship is acceptance. It would be smart (females!) if we settled with a man who we can live with, not one who we can see potential in.
I was once diseased with the idea that I could change a man. That was back in the day when I liked the "bad boy". I would label my past official relationships as "bad" and "not good". My love life right now is pretty good but I have found that having a different guy for everything can leave me feeling kind of empty. I sit and watch my friends start new "friendships" with guys and am often able to predict the course of a relationship. Im not claiming to be psychic, I just know a genuine person when I see them. On the outside looking in, I can see EVERYTHING. But when it comes to my own personal relationships, I can't see the forest for the trees. One time, there was this guy. He was cute, smart, and headed on a pathway to success. Best of all, he had a crush on me! I guess he won the label of "the won that got away" because I sent him running at full speed. I couldn't get past his reputation to see that he may have been good for me. Once again, the forest got in the way of the trees. I tried to get him back a couple of months after I "broke it off" with him. Well, lol, you know how that goes.
One day I'll take my own advice and incorporate my recipe for success in my next relationship: variety, privacy, and acceptance. What other ingredients can you add? ( :
