Choosing a New Boyfriend and what you should knowBy Amanda Willis
If it's been a while since your last relationship, and you're despairing of ever finding a new boyfriend, then you may be tempted to lower your standards in the hope of finding that ever elusive, 'Mr. Right'. If you're guilty of this then I have one thing to say to you ladies, don't be surprised if Mr. Right, pulls a 'doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' on you and morphs into Mr. Wrong. Do not settle but instead, value yourself, because if you don't, you'll find that being in a relationship can be lonelier and more heartbreaking than being alone. I'm not saying that compromise isn't a good thing, what I'm saying is that compromising your standards of compatibility is bad. Those traits that drive you a little crazy in the sweet blush of first romance have the potential to push you over the deep end later on, turning you into the nagging shrew that you swore you'd never be. A new boyfriend is hard work ladies, and those habits that he reveals now aren't even the tip of the iceberg of what you have in store for you later on. But don't despair, this new boyfriend, can be Mr. Right, just don't go trying to change some poor guy from who he is to who you want him to be. Instead, take the time to choose well, this is how you will find the perfect match. I know it's hard, I know it can get pretty lonely and heartbreaking at times, but what's worse? A couple months of torture now or a life time of utter misery later? It's difficult to find the perfect match, and there are compromises to be made later on, but for now, being a little picky will help you save time on all the Mr. Wrong's out there, so make a list. Yes, I know it sounds cliched but seriously, make a list. Your first step is acknowledging who you are inside. Bring all your flaws out and know exactly who you are. Your new boyfriend, should not be a fantasy figure, he should be a compliment to who you are inside. Look for the pitfalls before they happen. If you hate washing dishes, then find a guy who doesn't seem to mind doing them. If you don't like animals, don't date a zoologist. If you're prone to yeast infections, stay away from the baker! I'm not giving real examples here, just a dose of reality. Common sense is your best friend in finding the 'perfect' mate. Persevere ladies, Mr. Right is out there and if you're lucky, you choose wisely, and you use that common sense, you'll realize that Mr. Right doesn't mean Mr. Right Now. Don't worry, I have faith in you. We're women after all, multitasking is a walk in the park for us, so just go out there with the confidence you deserve for being the amazing woman you are and remember, be careful what you wish for; a dream can become a nightmare but you can make the mundane into a fantasy if you choose well before deciding on that new boyfriend.
