I’m in a relationship but still found lots of perspective on how to improve it. ❤️

I admit that in younger years, like many of us, I went for the shiny object and surpassed good ones that were right in front of me. Luckily I realized this before it was not too late.

I do hope some young people read your writings and take heed to your words because they are brilliant!

Thank you for the comment, Sally.

I, too, fell for a few shiny objects in my younger days. Now that I'm older and have a bit more life experience, I place a high value on people's intrinsic qualities - it is what endures the test of time.

Another great article. I thought this article would not pertain to me since i have retired from dating. I am 55 and relationships have always been rough on me. I just know my limitations finally.

Nevertheless, i do think it is a good idea to create a love list anyway. I still have to heal and learn self love. What a better way to do that. I should make a list of how i want to be loved which should be an extension of how i love myself or self love.

It will be a while. I am still raising 3 teens alone. But this was a great article even for me. Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback, Joseph.

Dating felt hard for me until I figured out a few simple ways to cut through the noise. I hope that by sharing these techniques, all of us can "date like a pro" and land in happy relationships.

I love your idea of using the love list as the guide for how we can love ourselves. Loving oneself is really to the key that unlocks everything.
