Topic: What advice would you give a friend looking to find love in 2008?
Posted by: Aly Walansky
I think my advice is to stop trying.
That sounds awfully defeatest for a relationship blog, but the point is that as long as you run around looking for love ("in all the wrong places"), it's going to elude you.
I have a friend who has been on the prowl as long as I know her. She goes to bars for the specific purpose of meeting her future husband. Halfway through her second drink, she grows morose that no one is talking to her and begins to grow bitter, angry, and jaded, followed by teary. This happens just about every time we are out, and I'm pretty sure is the reason she's still on the prowl.
Sad thing is, she's an awesome girl that when she's not on a mission, is fun to talk to, and easy to approach. But who wants to deal with *that* pressure?
Relationships and love take (and deserve) work. But meeting people is the fun part. Just have fun, be yourself, and let it happen.
When you're looking for dating, you must make sure your self-esteem is intact.
Only until you completely love and accept yourself, you can you begin to love and romance. And frankly, you won't fully enjoy a relationship if you're not ready for it. If anything, it will simply add to your stress and anxiety in life.
A last word of advice: relationships take time and energy. If you're pursuing a demanding career or raising children and your relationship doesn't help you do these things, but instead distracts you from them, then it might be time to put love on the side for now.
There are times in your life when you aren't meant to be in a relationship and remaining single is the best gift you can give yourself.
