Don’t Want to Be Dumped This Year, Do These 5 Things
Breaking up is hard to do.
You never want a relationship with someone more than when they act like they don’t want one with you. Most single men and women don’t want to admit that they want a relationship at all. Others just don’t know what they want. If you date and you don’t know what you want then being dumped is inevitable. This isn’t to say that your heart will be broken but you will face disappointments, and rejection.
Playing to win and playing not to lose are very different. If you want to avoid ever being dumped then you have to learn how to play to win in the dating game.
1. Understand The Objective
Why are you even dating? Most single people don’t know why they date. It’s really just something to do. If you aren’t clear about your objective then a few things will happen. You’ll get caught up with someone else’s objective without even knowing. You’ll get easily swept up in someone else’s flow, and before you realize it, you will become attached, exposing yourself to heartache. Plans aren’t sexy but the only way to get what you want in dating is to know what you want, and then make a plan to get it.
What is the goal? When you swipe, when you flirt, when you accept a date — what are you really saying yes to?
