Let’s be honest: dating sucks. With catfish, ghosting, and the minefield of dating apps, it can seem easier to just give up on the entire thing. Trying to find someone you love is difficult, but not impossible. Just remember these things.
It All Starts With You
Way before getting into a relationship, you have to realize that the most important relationship you have in your life is with yourself. Don’t forget your awesomeness and always be your most authentic self.
Timelines Don’t Matter
This is a big one to remember: timelines are irrelevant. Sure, you may have wanted to be settled down with a kid by 25, but life often has other plans and we can’t plan everything. It really doesn’t matter if your friends and classmates are getting engaged, married, or having babies—the only timeline that matters is yours! Don’t let feelings of being left behind make you rush into anything.
Age Matures You
As we grow up, so do our tastes in people. Whereas good looks or the kind of car they drive may have once been the deciding factor, as you mature you realize what is truly important. It’s so much better to go for authentic qualities like emotional intelligence; communication skills; honesty; and self-awareness.
