1. Set realistic expectations

Be realistic about your expectations of other people. Be wary of projecting certain qualities or behaviour from your dates that they may not be able to fulfil early in the relationship.

2. Focus on shared values

Each couple is different, but you may value the same things, such as marriage and family, trust and communication, love and intimacy, and maybe similar religious and political beliefs, or being a part of a broader community. In times of difficulty, shared values will keep you together.

3. Don't force it

When you have a gut feeling about a certain person, just don't force it. Stop ignoring the red flags and evaluate whether pursuing the relationship is still worth it.

4. Communicate often

Please remember that people can't read minds. Express your feelings, wants, and needs verbally to your dating partner. The more you practice, the more effective you get at communicating.

5. Focus on the present

Refrain from bringing up your ex or old flames. Likewise, avoid comparing your dating partner to previous relationships. Instead, focus on your current date or partner.

6. Actions speak louder than words

Words are meaningless if not followed by action. Don't give promises you can't keep. Instead, show your interest by showing up, being present and actively listening on dates.
