Dr. Monica Morris, a social psychologist and author of Falling In Love Again: The Mature Woman's Guide To Finding Romantic Fulfillment* gives her dating dos and don'ts. Do...Be brave Dating requires courage. If you really want to meet Mr. Right, answer that personal ad or join a dating agency. Be realistic If you don't want to date someone divorced, for example, you cut your chances almost to nil. And don't expect to fall in love at first sight. Give the man a chance to show what he's made of. Try everything If one thing doesn't work for you, another will. Keep safe Always meet in a public place and tell someone you trust where you are going. Never invite strangers to your home. Don't... Compromise If he really isn't the one, nip it in the bud rather than letting it drift on. Stake everything on the first man you meet After a long relationship has ended, more often than not you will have bridge relationships. They don't last but act as a bridge to being in a relationship again. Expect to meet a man in a bar Follow your interests - whether it's trekking or dancing - and you'll come across like-minded men. Give up hope And don't get desperate. Desperation is never attractive. *Square One Publishers, £7.40 from amazon.co.uk |
