Introduction

In this article, we will be helping the lost and misguided to find the right way to search for their life-partners. The article will give you superior advice for first-dates, all the way to how to grow your new relationship after you have found the one. Regardless of whether you have experience on a dating site or not, these tips will always come in handy!

Tip 1: Prioritising and keeping the perspective

The first thing you have to understand is that: searching for a relationship should not be the central point in your life. Instead, learn how to focus on your hobbies and daily life. Having a more balanced life from every aspect can prove you to be a more steady and grounded person when you do meet the one for you.

When it comes to online dating, it takes a long time to get close to a person. This means that first impressions can easily change the longer you get to know someone. It also takes different kinds of circumstances and situations for you to truly know a person.

It is always good to be forthcoming with your flaws and imperfections and you should not feel too worried or burdened by them. In a relationship, you want to have someone love you for who you are, even with all the self-assumed flaws. 

Tip 2: Forging a genuine connection

Although it is normal to feel nervous and anxious when it comes to the world of dating, it is still possible to forge and build a genuine connection with the other party. 

You should always focus your attention solely on your date. Instead of freaking out internally about whether the date is going bad or whether you are making a good first impression, learn to exist in the moment with your date. 

It is not a bad thing to be inquisitive about what someone is like on a deeper level. Feelings and curiosity show in how you behave in front of your date, so do take note. Showing interest, on the other hand, can come across as too fake if you are just pretending. Instead of forcing the connection, you should cut it off before more feelings are hurt by your actions and thoughts. Lastly, if you remember something insignificant they never assumed you to remember, they are very likely to feel touched by your attentiveness.

Tip 3: Have Fun!

Dating services such as online dating and speed dating events can come across as fun and interesting to some, while for others, it may not be their forte. A reminder is that there is a huge contrast between choosing the right career path and finding the right partner who will stick with you for life. Try thinking of it as a great way to network and expand your existing social circle. In an environment that you are comfortable in, you will still be able to fulfill your goal of meeting new people, and potentially forge new genuine connections with others. 

Tip 4: Handle rejection positively

You will inevitably have to be rejected, and or be the person rejecting, at some point in your journey of finding the right person. There is no way to stop it from happening, but it should not be treated as the end of the world. 

One good tip when it comes to handling rejection is to understand that the rejection may be regarding surface level reasons. Knowing that such factors are out of your control will spare you more hurt the longer you search for love. It is also advisable not to linger on the rejection and move on from it, but do not overthink or worry too much about what it is you might have done. Handling rejection in a positive way can strengthen your mental state over time as well.

Ultimately, you should not suppress your feelings, but acknowledge them and understand why they are there. Once you are aware of where your feelings stem from, then you can move on from the negative experience efficiently. 

Tip 5: Watch out for red flags

In a relationship, we are no strangers to missing red flags; although they may be waving it right in our face. Being aware of red flags can imply that the relationship has the potential to turn toxic, and may not be the perfect love you are looking for. 

Some common red flags in relationships are if either person is heavily dependent on alcohol. You can only communicate properly when both of you are sober. Next, would be having commitment issues. It is not unusual for people to fear commitment, however, if existing factors are influencing it such as an unstable home, the relationship may need to be reconsidered. 

If they are focusing on their devices instead of talking to you, there are lesser chances for the both of you to know more about each other and communicate honestly. Jealousy is also a blaring red sign. When it comes to possessiveness, neither should be so controlling to the point where an individual’s thoughts and feelings are not their own anymore. 

Tip 6: Dealing with trust issues

Trust is built over a long period, and can only strengthen according to how much your connection has deepened. If you are someone with major insecurity and trust issues or is someone who has been betrayed in the past, it may be harder to find yourself in a long-term relationship.

Relationships dominated by trust issues, no matter what kind, will revolve around fear. There are many types of fear in this context, but the most common would be having the fear of the other party leaving you. Despite that, it is still possible to overcome such internal issues, and working with a therapist can help you in such areas. 

Tip 7: Nurturing your relationship

After finding the right person, the next hardest step would be to grow the budding connection between the both of you. 

There is much investing to be done in a new relationship. Similar to growing a plant, it requires timeless attention and affection. A relationship also requires open communication, and it is essential to remember that expressing your feelings, fears, and desires to your partner will serve to strengthen your bond. 

Although difficult, it is vital to remember to not avoid confrontations or conflicts. A conflict is the best time to see the different ways that both of you react to and solve it. Different ways of managing the conflict may become a big part of communication as well.

Conclusion
