For people that have not had the best luck choosing the right “soul mate“, it sometimes becomes very difficult not to feel a bit damaged or skiddish about dating again.
We all have an emotional bank, the more you take out without building back up a reserve, the more depleted the bank becomes. So, we have to find a way to both not let bad relationships or simply a series of bad dates scare us off.
If you find that dating is starting to lose it’s luster andĀ it doesn’t allow you to enjoy life or focus in a positive way, then take a step back and give it a break for a few months.
When attempting to get over a bad relationship or forgetting someone who had basically “dumped” you, taking a breather can let you regroup and take care of the most important person- you! Giving yourself time to also decide if perhaps you are either looking for the wrong traits in a person or quite possibly need to change theĀ direction of your search can sometimes bring about a better solution to finding a partner.
