Preparing for love
January 2008
Have you been blaming your non-existent love life on commitment phobics, obsessive types, or the fact that you just haven’t met “the one” when it could just be that you’re not ready? Emotionally ready, that is.
What’s stopping you from connecting?
• You have an inflexible “perfect” partner wish list.
• You haven’t made an ideal “relationship” wish list.
• You’re too picky.
• You’re not picky enough.
• You’re looking for someone who can pull your life together.
• You’re not prepared to compromise on external things like looks, or lots of money, but you do concede on character traits such as honesty and an ability to commit.
• You’re desperate to be in a relationship.
• You can’t be happy until you’re in a relationship.
If you want to charm your way into the hearts of others, you might first need to deal with what could be driving love away.
- In the mood
- Positive view
- Love your life
- Be you
