What To Look For In A Date To Create A Real And Lasting Dating Relationship?

Here are three rules to follow for a loving relationship

These three things are honesty, truthfulness, and caring

I believe that you know what is meant by honesty

When people are honest each other they value each other

They want to know each other’s needs, thoughts, and opinions

There may be disagreements, but the opposing opinion is respected and even valued, if only because the opinion is important to the other person

This can be hard to do at times. It is related to maturity. As we mature we are better able to hold respect for others

Think about honesty as you date different people. Be honest with your date

Does he show honesty toward you?

Is he interested in your opinions?

Does he ask what you would like to do or where you would like to go? These are signs of honesty and respect

Empathy is a wonderful trait to develop

Empathy is the ability to put oneself in the other person’s shoes and to understand their view and perception of a situation

This ability may not come naturaly

Fortunately, it is a skill that can be developed

Just start practicing by imagining that you are the other person in a conversation. Try to see their point of view

Try to think like they are thinking to better understand them

You can even practice this while watching television. Try to see each person’s viewpoint and why they are different

Does your date seem to show empathy?

Does he seem to listen to what you say?

Is he able to verbalize your ideas and see your point of view?

These things indicate empathy. If two people are able to provide empathy for each other, conflicts are more easily resolved

Add respect to the relationship and things are even better. The end result is a relationship that will uplift and compliment both persons

Genuineness relates to both respect and empathy

You have to be yourself in any relationship

Don’t try to put up a front and pretend to be someone else

Just be you, with plenty of empathy and respect

In fact, if you are not genuine it will eventually show and it is a turn-off for most people. When you show respect, it must be genuine

When you show empathy, it must be real

Genuineness may be a little shaky early on in the relationship because you will both be on your best behavior

With time the facade will drop, and hopefully, you can both just be yourselves

Honesty, empathy, and genuineness move toward making them a part of your relationships. Even better, make them a way of life
