When women get together, we chat about work, our weight, even the weather. But the real conversation topper and stopper is that four-letter word we are literally talking about from the time we can spell it: Love! How to get it and maintain it.
So if you�re single and really want to build a healthy relationship with the right one, Knowmore TV�s clinical psychologist, Barbara Greenberg says, �think of a good love life, like a good recipe: you need a combination of key ingredients in precise amounts.�
� Get in the right state of mind.: This means improving your personal attitude toward love and life, which usually starts with having self-compassion and self-love.
The energy you put out will be reflected back and you want to attract partners with good energy, right? If you�re feeling positive about yourself and about love, then you�re ready for love.
� Put yourself out there.: Go to places where you can meet people with similar interests. But also consider getting involved in new activities where you may meet a whole other group of people.
The more choices you have, the more likely you�ll be dating from a better and larger pool.
� Try to date outside your usual type.: You may discover that you really like someone who doesn�t meet the characteristics you typically pick.
� Know when to fold �em.: If you�ve been on a few dates with someone and you�re not feeling it, then don�t hesitate to end things.
There�s no sense spending time with someone when it�s not working for you. Invest in relationships that make you feel good.
� Resist the urge to become obsessive or needy.: This is a definite turn-off. For instance, holding off on making plans while hoping you�ll hear from him, means you�re putting your life on pause�this doesn�t serve either of you.
And while we hate to admit it, dating is still a bit of a game and everyone likes a little challenge.
� Enjoy yourself.: When you and that special someone are smitten, just go with it. Have fun getting to know each other, and worry less about wondering: Where will this go? And: Is he really right for me?
Remember, the right relationship will bring you joy, not stress.
