Love just happens.
You can't write or draw love. It doesn't come with the click of a button. It comes suddenly and slowly sinks into the heart and soul.
Don't forget yourself when you're looking for your dream relationship.
1. It may take a long time to find you. Be patient with yourself and with love. You won't be alone forever, even if you have to go through a lot of bad dates, almost relationships. Love will find you sooner than later.
2. Take a break from the confusion of dating every once in a while. Allow your heart to heal. Do it for yourself while you're looking for love. You don't become weak or bitter by taking a step back and saying to yourself: “I need a minute.”
3. Sometimes you have to put yourself first. When your heart is broken, it's perfectly normal to need time to recover. But don't ever use the past as an excuse to stop opening your heart to love because you're afraid of disappointment. Find yourself and try again. You might get hurt again, but what's even scarier is not showing your heart anymore. Don't hide it.
4. Don't act like you don't have feelings anymore. Ask yourself what you want and need from your partner. In this way, you will know who you can let into your life and who does not belong there.
5. Love yourself before someone else loves you too. Self-love is a lifelong journey. When you love yourself, it will be easier to love others and find the right person.
6. Pay attention to how they talk about their exes. Their behavior, words about ex-partners, say a lot about them. This is how you find out what kind of people they are.
7. Dating apps aren't the only way to meet people. They can be a great way to meet someone, but don't let it be your only option. Get out. For a walk. For coffee. To the match. Hang out with friends. Don't rely on the web and actually try to live.
8. Love can't save you. It can help you forget the pain. In the end, everything always depends only on you, how you will get together, when you will love again. Don't get into a relationship just to try to make yourself feel better or think it will make your problems go away. They won't. This is not fair to your partner. They can support you, but in the end you have to save yourself and no one here can help you.
9. If someone tells you it's a bad time, believe them. Don't wait for them. They won't change their mind.
10. There is nothing wrong with having a broken heart. Actually, that's a good thing. It means you are trying. It means you cared about someone enough to risk being hurt. And that is a very beautiful thing.
11. You will never experience the same love twice. People are different and you will love each person in a different way.
12. Let go of people you're not a priority for. If you spend too much energy trying to please someone, let them go. It's not worth it.
13. Compatibility is much more important than attraction itself. Sometimes there is logic in love. You could have a relationship with crazy chemistry, but if their life is completely different from yours, it won't work out. Compatibility is important.
14. You will never find the perfect person. There is no such thing as perfection, there are only imperfect people who will do their best to love you the way you want and the way only they know how. Let them.
