What Are Your Realistic Dating Chances?

By Alan Bentley

When you hear some experts say that it can take anything up to 25 to 30 attempts before you find someone you want to spend time with, it makes you aware how important it is to have a realistic dating attitude. This is not to say that you should consider the numbers game, either and check off those encounters one by one on your bedpost!

How much pressure do you put on yourself when you set yourself up for a first encounter with a guy? If you don't have a realistic dating approach the chances are that your meeting will be doomed before it starts. Always maintain an open mind.

Being single is not much fun at all and it is certainly time for you to settle down. Don't bring this negative attitude with you when you go out, however as it will affect the way that you interact. Always remember that you're looking for something special and don't be tempted to settle for anything less as a compromise as you must be thinking long-term.

You have to go through a process of realistic dating, which involves asking many questions but not making any assumptions. You must keep your standards high at all times, even though he may be outwardly the most attractive man you have ever met. Deep down inside you will have a good feeling when the time is right, but only after you have seen how things unfold.

Before you set out on a process of discovery, ask yourself whether you are really ready to find someone for the long-term. This will require a lot of expenditure in terms of direct costs as well as time and only make sense to ensure that you are ready for what happens.

A breakup can be very difficult and the pain will last a long time. If you're in this position right now, you're not likely to achieve a realistic dating result, are you? You need time to recover and to assess exactly what went wrong, so that it doesn't happen again. If you are not happy with yourself internally, the other guy will realize it right away.

You should view a first date as the chance to cement a solid friendship for a long time. If you just look at it this way then you will have a much more healthy approach. After all, every long-term marriage is based on the fact that they are both really good friends underneath it all.

If it all possible, try and see whether you have anything in common with a dating partner in advance. If he has been recommended to you, does this come from a position of trust? If you have met him at a common venue, such as a sports club or if you know that you share similar values or goals, then this may help in the the long run.
