Im not a relationship expert but I based my opinion on what I've read, first hand experience and friends who went through different relationships. If you apply these opinions don't always expect positive result coz we all know we have different agendas, characters and personalities so the results varies depending on the type of person you are.
This is very important. To know which qualities of a potential partner are most important to you, if you want someone successful, intelligent, charming, respectful, sweet, creative, friendly, simple, sensitive, romantic, independent, adventurous, communicative...and if you were asked what 5 traits of a perfect partner is important to you and you can not answer this question right away then you need some serious thinking of what you really want in a partner. Most teenagers are more predictable when they are asked this same question than adults coz they are more open in giving straight forward answer.
In fact, when it comes to romance most adults lack of knowing what traits of their partner they consider to be important in a relationship which lead to spending valuable time and energy pursuing relationship after another who they aren’t really all that excited about. People who normally do this just want to satisfy their natural urges which I consider immoral. You have to know exactly your types that will decide who are the deal makers and breakers to save you a lot of time and efforts. Not knowing who you want or aren’t really sure of who that person is could be the reason you still haven’t met the person of your dream, Miss/Mr Right..this only serve as a hindrance to you in the long run.
The second important goal is not to rush your decision to enter into a new relationship. You must have patience to evaluate your potential partner first if s/he has all the traits compatible to your character. In a long distance relationship this is fundamental. In actual relationship, it seems sex plays an important role for those who are already experienced in this matter but I suggest not to rush into it if you're looking to build a relationship. Your potential perfect partner shouldn't be someone you rush to get into the bed with, a common occurrence whether in teenagers or adults. If you do this you're already compromising your own morality and values. Just go with the flow and enjoy the ride. You will eventually come to this intimate situation in spontaneous fashion after you both built up a strong relationship.
The location where you meet your perfect partner. This one might confuse many of you coz you probably watched so many movies about romance and love affairs where couples meet in some strange location but the truth is the best place to look to meet your perfect partner could be anywhere. If you are a man and more selective then all you do is do your favorite hobbies but this time is pay more attention to women who could be interested by interpreting their body language or seduction. Don't pressumed the woman with that flirtatious smile is already taken. I'm a conservative person so a guy should always initiate the conversation. If you're into sports you might meet an opposite sex who's a fan of the sport or plays the sport, if you're a health buff you might meet her/him in a health club, a party guy will likely to meet a party girl in the clubs and if you're a religious person you might meet that perfect partner inside the church. Keep in touch with your old high school and college friends who could introduce you with people they knew.
Narrow your list when you find the potential perfect partners I mentioned above. Keep in mind that there are no such thing as a perfect partner either. The larger your list, the harder to make a choice and if you made that decision, don't expect that you're also on that person's list so always prepare for other options if you didn't achieve your desire. If you are rejected don't hold a grudge against the woman who turned you down. Continue the friendship even she has selected someone else, she might make a mistake and turn back to you.
Always be true to yourself. You'll never achieve happiness if you have to go around pretending to be someone you're not. By being honest to yourself is essential, you will attract someone who expects that quality to be conducive as positive to your personality and if that person discovered you're deceptive, you will never gain that person's trust and you'll never find true love. Honest and faithful are the most important aspects in a long distance relationship. So many women have been the victims of these online players so like mentioned on my previous blogs, be cautious.
Follow these simple steps plus anything that I didn't mention here that would help you find that rare close to perfect partner then you'll be on your way to a wonderful life with the person of your dreams.
