Tips on How to Find Love Again
Everyone has gone through at least one painful breakup in their life. When you take a chance on love, you are also exposing yourself to the possibility of getting hurt. Being with someone you care about doesn't come with a guarantee that everything will work out right. Love and pain come hand in hand and it is true when they say that the more you love the more you get hurt. Parting ways with someone is never easy. No matter what the reason as to why the relationship ended, the fact remains that nobody comes home a winner.
People who have "shut down" completely to love are terrified to get hurt again. I can't really blame them but when someone stops taking chances on love, they are also depriving themselves of the possibility of finding true love. If you've been burned before but you are still hoping that someday you are going to experience that kind of I-can't-live-without-you love, read the tips below on how to find love again:
1.) Don't ever go into a relationship and expect someone to mend all the broken pieces of your heart. Rebound love, anyone? You are not only being unfair to the other person but to yourself as well. When you rush into dating new people before you have completely moved on, it can cause problems down the road. It is true that there is no recommended time for someone to overcome a breakup but the moment that you feel indifferent towards your ex, that's the time you know you have truly moved on and you are ready to start seeing new people again.
2.) Take the time to know yourself better. There may be certain extraordinary qualities that you had before you were in a relationship and it will be nice to discover them again. Take up old hobbies or book the vacation you've been dreaming about since you were 15. Devote your time in doing something that you enjoy and most importantly, focus on your future and not your past.
3.) Open your heart and don't let what happened in the past scar you forever. Just because your ex boyfriend or husband cheated on you doesn't mean that all men cheat. Things happen for a reason and our past experiences make us who we are today, stronger and wiser (hopefully). Learn to accept that things can't always go our way. Embrace life with enthusiasm and have faith in yourself. Believe that you deserve to be happy and if you are patient enough, you are going to find the man or woman of your dreams. Stay positive and work on your issues otherwise you will be attracting people with emotional baggage as well.
4.) Keep your eyes open to new possibilities and don't be afraid to try out new things. If you've always cried whenever you see an abuse dog, maybe you can do volunteer work at the animal shelter in your neighborhood. Or maybe it's time to finally try rock climbing or taking photography classes. Find your passion and just go for it! The more you expose yourself to opportunities the more chances you have in finding someone that shares the same advocacies or interests with you.
5.) When it comes to how to find love again, it's important to take it slow but don't play games. I just hate it when women play hard-to-get. If you like the guy then why would you make him feel otherwise? Do you really have to push someone away to know how far they will go just to be with you? When you find someone who likes you and you like them too, just keep things straightforward and always say what you mean and mean what you say. That's not too difficult to do, is it? Just keep it real but remember not to rush things because if you do, you might end up being with the wrong person.
