We all know the saying “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”, but first impressions can be very deceiving. People are generally on their best behaviour when one meets them, and the true person usually only emerges with time. One can liken getting to know a person with peeling an onion: there are many layers covering the core.
I nearly fell into this trap when I met my current partner, with whom I am very happy. When I first met him I thought (erroneously) that he was not my type, and more or less discouraged him from contacting me. It was a year later that we met again, and then I was more willing to give him the time of day, only to realise he was almost exactly what I had always been looking for in very many ways! The first time I met him he did not show all his cards, and I took him at face value, never realising what a diamond had crossed my path.
Men and women often make snap decisions about whether they are attracted to a person or not. Perhaps we would all find many more people to our liking if we would just give them a chance beyond the first meeting. Food for thought …

Don't force a relationship
So often I notice with the people on my books that one of the people is really keen to have a relationship and he/she pushes and pressurises their dates to go into a relationship with him/her. This can be compared to pushing fruit ripe, and the results are similar. The fruit is not as sweet as sun-ripened fruit which has fallen off the tree and your relationship will not be the best it could have been. The universe is never in a hurry and it is best to let it gently unfold and let your relationship progress at an unhurried pace. I know this is difficult, because we all wanted everything yesterday, but if something is good it is worth waiting for, particularly in the field of relationships. So practise patience, and you will be well rewarded.

Don't have unrealistic expectations
With my professional dating service, Perfect Strangers, I sometimes find that my clients have unrealistic expectations. They come to me having had problematic relationships in the past, expecting that everything will be just plain sailing once they join my service.
Life is just not like that, and the people who join my service are real and not the type of people you may read about in romantic fantasies. My joining criteria are strict to ensure that only the best people are admitted, but we are all in the same boat, doing our best and trying to make sense of this crazy but wonderful life. We all have our own unique problems and set of circumstances to deal with, and sometimes this can cause friction between us and our romantic partners.
Whilst it is true that we should always expect the best, we need to be flexible and allow for our partner’s idiosyncrasies. We should remember that we ourselves are also not perfect. We should all know what we are looking for in our ideal partner whilst at the same time keeping our feet planted firmly on the ground.
