Step 5: Once Bitten…
Many of my readers might be worried that
everything does not work out like has been described, what would they do? Or in
other words if this first date does not work out what should they do?
The
answer is very simple, repeat the whole process again!
Let’s go back to where we started. Remember,
this is a chance to find the partner for life so we might have to grow many
plants before we get the right harvest.
I am not talking about two timing here. What
I mean is that instead of putting all your eggs in one basket, keep the avenues
open. Don’t just bank on one person, because if that doesn’t work out, you
might lose heart. You can hope for the best but expect the contrary as well.
Only the every lucky ones get the right pick
at the first go it self. For the rest of us, we just have to keep trying till
we succeed. Another advantage of trying out different people is that you can
get to choose. It should not be that you just flipped for the first guy or girl
who came your way. Take you time, give yourself some breathing space and then
make the right decision.
Nobody can force you into making a
commitment. It should be completely your choice. Of course, if you get the
right cues and something deep down inside tells you that this is the right
person for you, then what are you waiting for, go ahead and show the green
signal.
But on the other hand if someone is trying
to force you into making a commitment and you feel hard pressed, gently try to
break away. All you have to do is put your foot down very firmly and tell the
person that you need more time.
However, it is not good to keep a person
waiting indefinitely. Tell the person that you need perhaps a week’s time or
more than that. But don’t let the person realize that you are checking out
other people. Just tell them that this is probably the most important decision
in your life so you just want to be sure.
