Finding love in 2023 and beyond takes more
than just what we see in the movies. Yes, some people still find love worthy of
a Hollywood movie script just like that. Some struggle and go through repeated
dating patterns. Then, we have the third group, people who recently became
single, where should they start? In this article, we’ll explore tips that will
make it easier to take the right steps to find love and find joy in love.
Don’t be desperate
When you act out of desperation, your story
can go two ways. In the first possible outcome, you won’t find what you want as
people will perceive you as too desperate or eager. No one likes that, not even
you, if you are open to admitting it. In the second outcome, you’ll lower your
standards out of desperation and perceived societal pressures, so you’ll choose
wrong. This only leads to desperation, disappointment and emotional hurt.
Understand your needs
You don’t have to have it all figured out to want love - you can be a work in progress. However, you need to understand your needs, your non-negotiables, like having financial harmony in a relationship, and what you can compromise on. When you figure all this out, you will show yourself as a whole person, not someone looking for their other half to complete them.
