Dating For The Right Reasons
filed in Self Esteem on Feb 20, 2007
Very often I see men and women rush into a relationship looking to fill up the nagging emptiness they feel inside. In fact someone I know ran so fast he tripped over himself.
If you have a constant desire to be with someone searching for the romantic love and the perfect other to make you happy, be careful. Or, if you recognize someone you are dating has this agenda, you better run the other way. I can tell you from experience that if you look to the other person to fill up your pail, to fix, mend or replace the family you never had, you are setting yourself up for a difficult time. Our wholeness does not depend on another.
Don’t deny the desire for a healthy relationship bond. In fact dating can help you understand yourself better. But ask yourself the question, “am I counting on this person to make me feel special and my life meaningful. This is a red flag.
It is my opinion our soul is always moving us toward wholeness requiring us to reach down and know that everything we need is inside. A relationship is just the icing on the cake. You need to make the cake.
