Are You Making These Three Love Mistakes?

Do you know what love mistakes you're making that are preventing you from finding a fulfilling relationship? Do you ever look around, and seem to see happy couples everywhere, while you seem unable to find anything lasting? Would you be able to change your life for the better if you could avoid falling into the traps that you can't seem to see? No one knows everything there is to know about building a relationship. But there are some basic love mistakes that you can understand and learn to avoid.

Mistake #1 - Rush into things.

The first mistake you can make is to try to steamroll through the initial dating phase. If you want a guy to move faster than he wants to, you are making a classic mistake. No one enjoys being pushed into anything that they aren't ready for. How do you react when you feel pressured into something?

If you push for a commitment or a relationship with a guy that you haven't known for very long, you are probably making a mistake. Many women assume than men don't want commitment, and have to be nudged into it for their own good. But this is a blunder. Men have minds of their own, and taking time to get to know one another is a good thing that shouldn't be resisted.

Mistake #2 - Look to cross a line.

Dating is a complicated thing. There is fun to be had in just going out and meeting new people. At the same time, the possibility of a life-changing relationship is always just under the surface. It can be a difficult line to walk with reason and clear-headedness.

But, remember the fun part. If you are too busy looking for something with a future, you might miss out on that future by forgetting to enjoy the present. Treat dates as possible interesting and fun evenings, and no more. Try to relax and have fun, instead of spending all your time wondering where every situation is headed.

Mistake #3 - Don't let it happen naturally.

Ultimately, this is what the first two points are getting at. Don't rush the relationship. But, more than just pressuring a guy, you need to take time to find out if he is really the one. A dirty little secret of many couples is that their relationship is the result of settling, not meeting a soul mate.

No matter how much you want to find the right one, don't indulge in wishful thinking. Ask yourself the cold, hard questions about whether this guy that you have been seeing is really the guy that you are in love with. Do you want him, or do you want someone to settle down with?

There are so many obstacles on the way to a loving relationship. You can avoid some love mistakes if you are brave enough to let things take their course.
