Find Your Match by Managing Your Expectations

Singles around the world are constantly faced with the question of if they will ever be able to find their match. Many of them jump from each of their relationships in an attempt to find the right person who is compatible with their needs and personality in order to have a successful a fulfilling dating experience. Unfortunately many singles find this a very tough and long process that ends in little success. When looking to find your match, it is very easy to become frustrated, especially if you have been in the dating game for a long time and have not any real, long lasting, and enjoyable relationships. But do not have despair, because it is not impossible to find your match, but rather something that simply takes a small amount of effort and dedication.

The first step should always be to manage and evaluate your expectations.

When you begin to date someone new, you must always remember that they, like yourself, will always have imperfections. Everybody from time to time makes mistakes, tell inappropriate jokes, and sometimes go too far when they shouldn't. If you are searching for someone who does none of the above, then you are simply out of luck, and perhaps these unrealistic expectations are, in part, responsible for your bad luck in finding someone meaningful to share your life with. This does not mean that you can't or should not have any expectations. Just make sure that the expectations and requirements you choose are genuine and realistic.

Here are some common expectations and requirements that are realistic:

- Intelligence
- Beauty
- Creativity
- Friendly
- Sense of humour
- Profession
- Religion
- Ambition

The main idea behind having realistic expectations and requirements is that you are not too specific. When you become so fixated on specific details that hold very bearing, it can become a huge problem. Here are some example of unrealistic or specific expectations/requirements that may cause you some trouble when you look to find your match:

- Hair color
- Eye color
- Love for dogs
- Height
- Skin tone

Finally, when you are on a date you should always be aware of how you personally interact and treat other people. While your match may not be as perfect as you had dreamed of, as long as you are able to find someone that has the same interests, and personality traits as yourself, you are one step closing to finding true love. This point becomes increasingly more relevant and powerful once you find someone that also shares the same physical, emotional, and sexual needs as yourself.

So where do you begin to look for such a person?

Even when you know exactly what you are looking for the task of trying to find your match can be difficult at best, so where do you start to look?

The first resource at your disposal should always be your network of friends. Since you most likely have share similar interests and personality traits as your close friends, they should have a good idea of what type of person is best for you. They will also possibly have advice as to where to look for such a match. Even if this resource does not help you find your match directly, it will definitely help you learn a lot more about yourself, and will help refine your image of what type of person you should be looking for.

Another very powerful resource at your disposal is online dating websites. The majority of online dating sites are specifically built with the goal of helping you find your match. Many of them help you meet singles online based on specific personality traits and common interests.

Some last words of advice are, go out there with a positive attitude and have fun. If you are able to do that, then the rest is simply the icing on the cake.
