Do not be so quick to give up

There will be bumps in the road. There will be surprises. There will be trials. Relationships require fortitude, a willingness to stick it out during the tough times. TOUGH IT OUT! You must take the bitter with the sweet. Your relationship will not always be smooth sailing. There will be situations that are difficult and painful, and circumstances that require strength, endurance, faith, courage, and resolve. If you both are determined to have your relationship succeed, you can make it through these times.

You Meet.

Upon meeting, there has to be a mutual attraction.  There is something that you like about him that makes you interested in getting to know him.  It could be his looks, his sense of style, or his sense of humor.  You perceive that he is someone worth getting to know. 

¨      When there is no attraction, or no interest, do not force it.  You get off the ride, and you do not move on to the dating stage.

Do not be bitter or angry.

Do not bottle up the anger.  Do not hold a grudge.  Anger and bitterness can cause you to be hateful and spiteful.  It pushes people away from you.  Anger and bitterness becomes a festering wound that will prevent you from overcoming the hurt and pain, which will prevent you from expressing love, or receiving love.
