Hold Your Boundaries
Lust and infatuation can make us do some crazy things. You might know he has a reputation as a player, and has mysterious notches on the steering wheel, but when he moves in for a kiss, your brain turns to mush. Or she might give you ample reason not to trust her, with her flipped over phone, alerts night and day, and FB comments dripping with intimate knowledge, but her scent and curves wipe all those cares away.
Unless you’re a rare human who doesn’t need to feel special in the love department, however, dropping all your boundaries (or worse — not having any), will hurt you deeply in the long run.
Tools and rules for dating
When you’ve decided you’re ready to conquer the dating world, the main tools you’re going to need and keep with you at all times, are your self-worth, your requirements and your boundaries. If you never have, it’s a good exercise to sit down, pen in hand, and write down what you have to offer a partner.
Maybe you’re not rich and own a ten bedroom mansion, but you might be a great cook, supporter, and attention-giver. Those things go a million times deeper than a fancy sports car or the ability to buy a ten carat diamond.
