The 23 Mistakes Will End Up Hurting Your Game In The Dating World (2 of 5)

Looking for a best friend and not a partner?

As often said, friendships lead to the best relationships and best friends make the best partners. This doesn’t mean that you will keep on looking for a friend first and then a partner. Due to this, many relationships end with the issue of having no spark in the long run. So, the basis of your entire relationship should not be just friends.

You try to be someone to fit in expectations

You tend to put your best foot forward while dating. But there exists a very thin line between doing the right things and pretending to be someone else. I believe people prefer authenticity in the present world. Who would go out with a person who themselves can’t accept the way they are? If your partner realizes that you are putting up with everything that they say and have no opinions or views of your own, it might push them away. Having different opinions and morals makes a relationship stronger which the majority of people don’t realize. Don’t go to the concert if you don’t like the band just because your partner is mad fun of it.

Searching for the lost radiance, in the present lit flame

A spark once it is gone always leaves its embers and ash. Knowingly or unknowingly, we, at most times, see the ones we loved before or try to see them in the ones we have now. But the fact that we should remember is that everyone isn’t the same and each unique person brings their own set of experiences. If the person in front of you makes you the happiest, then hold on to them the best you can do instead of having other thoughts because happiness isn’t easy to come by.

You come across as too vulnerable and needy

In a relationship, all of us want to feel needed. It gives us happiness when they need us and look out for us to comfort them, doesn’t it? But, you don’t want to come out as too needy as it isn’t healthy for a relationship. There are several checks you can ensure that you aren’t being clingy towards your partner. If you are the first to text, check their social media, make out time for them, give them surprises, etc., then you might need to back out a bit to create healthy boundaries.

Are negative thoughts getting the better of you?

How do you see yourself? This might be a question that most tend to avoid, but when in a relationship, it will come to matter a lot. Negative thoughts about yourself lower your confidence while elevating your significant other. When such an unbalance is formed, self-doubt regarding whether you deserve the other creeps in and this is how cracks are formed which slowly become unrepairable.
