Actions speak louder than words for the most part, but sometimes words can be very damaging and leave a deep scar. If your partner is constantly being sarcastic with you or using words that make you feel sad or self-conscious, it is time to reevaluate what is actually going on within your relationship.
Many people think they are ready to get back out into the dating world after a breakup, but they are often not emotionally equipped to do so. When your heart has been ripped apart, it doesn’t heal overnight, and it can take a year or longer to feel somewhat normal again, especially if you were in a long-term relationship and were blindsided by your partner.
When you are giving your energy to the right people, you truly enjoy yourself and look forward to seeing them again. There isn’t any drama or toxic behavior. Even if you do have a disagreement, you both take the time to fix the problem by communicating your concerns and having a collective discussion on how to move forward.
You may ask: “Isn’t dating difficult enough, rather than adding mileage into the equation?” That really depends on how serious you are about wanting to find your love connection and having a partnership. Sometimes you have to go outside your usual comfort zone and include other opportunities into the mix.
If you weren’t shown what love was as a child, it is so difficult to always choose the right path when it comes to love and relationships as an adult. Quite often, people will build up a protective wall and not allow themselves to enter into a partnership because they have trust and self-esteem issues.
Someone’s appearance on a dating app is not enough to tell you who they are. A well-written profile bio will help you decipher a little more about them, and is an important part of getting to know someone before you decide to meet up with them in person. Pay close attention when you are reading someone’s personal profile and really hear what they are saying.
