Relationship Search Tips for Singles

Posted on October 3, 2011 by Editor| Leave a comment

Extract . . .

There is no way to avoid taking emotional risks when dating. Give yourself support, and seek out support from others as you do this. Be gentle with yourself. Get extra help (counseling) if you need it as you would for any other important area in your life. Good luck.

Plan out dating as you would any other important area of your life. Commit yourself to taking the time and energy to finding people that are right for you to date. Don’t expect for it to be bumpy, but don’t be surprised if it is.

Remember dating is a numbers game. You may need to meet several (10-20) new people before finding someone that you really click with. EXTRA TIP: Every time you go to an event or meeting have some goals in mind such as introducing yourself to three people, starting two conversations, smiling and making eye contact with everyone you meet. This will help you greatly in your search for a healthy relationship.

Posted on September 5, 2011 by Editor| Leave a comment

Extract . . .

With increasing frequency, employees interested in dating are toying with the notion that the optimal place to meet their potential spouse or life partner is at work.  And it seems to make sense, considering employees spend a third or more of their time each day at work.  Many young professionals are introduced to co-workers with similar interests and ambitions, develop relationships with them, and then wonder whether an office romance is even permitted according to company policy.

Posted on August 15, 2011 by Editor| Leave a comment

Extract . . .

If you’ve ever been involved in an office romance, you know in the beginning, it’s all furtive glances across the conference room, quick kisses in a hidden stairwell, and coy emails sent several times a day. That’s the beginning or the “honeymoon period” when everything smells like roses. But what happens if and when things start to go bad?

Who Is Behind the Mask? (Even though it’s scary, everyone longs to be seen, to be known)

Posted on July 29, 2011 by Editor| Leave a comment

Extract . . .

Dr Rick Hanson writes as follows: “Most of us wear a kind of mask, a persona that hides our deepest thoughts and feelings, and presents a polished, controlled face to the world.

To be sure, a persona is a good thing to have. For example, meetings at work, holidays with the in-laws, or a first date are usually not the best time to spill your guts. Just because you’re selective about what you reveal to the world does not mean you’re insincere; phoniness is only when we lie about what’s really going on inside.

Much of the time, we interact mask-to-mask with other people. There’s a place for that. But remember times when someone saw through your mask to the real you, the person back behind your eyes. If you’re like me, those times were both unnerving and wonderful.”
