- It's about what you do, not what you say: People will say almost anything to get in the door, but seldom live up to the hype. You must be willing to really listen - take your heart out of things early on to see if that man or woman is really worth your time. Is he telling you what you want to hear, or is he genuine and sincere?
- Take a break: When dating and relationships start to take a toll on you, it's okay to step back and out for a moment. Recharging helps to energize you and put past mistakes and hurts in perspective. It's not a time to have a pity party or beat yourself up because of past mistakes. Take the time to heal, understand and learn. Best of all, use the time to find some new things to get involved in.
- Being alone is a positive thing: Sometimes, we get so caught up in what society, friends, well meaning family, etc think we should be doing, that we end up with people that are clearly not meant to be in our lives. Settling, involving yourself in toxic relationships, being unhappy are all things that are unnecessary. It's okay to be alone. There is no negative to being with and enjoying yourself. If you don't enjoy you who else will? Master it.
- Kissing frogs: If you really want to meet someone, you are going to have to step away from your computer, get cleaned up and get outside your home. The UPS and FedEx guys are cool, but you need to date! Be willing to simply get out and have some fun. And if a great relationship comes of it, well those are bonus points. But you must be willing to kiss a few frogs to find your prince or princess.
- Love is a risk: You have to be willing to get out there, and expose yourself a bit in order to truly find the one. There were times when I thought I had hit pay dirt, only to discover sadly, that he was just a rock, not a diamond. But I learned, and that's just as important to me.
