Give what you expect

As a dating coach and professional dating service owner, I listen very carefully to what people say. A couple of days ago on the Oprah show, one of her guests said that in a relationship, you should only expect of your partner what you can give yourself. This set me thinking.

We all make our lists of what we expect in an ideal partner and look very hard to find these qualities. Sadly, we do not always have these qualities ourselves. Just speaking superficially, I have sometimes interviewed overweight men and women who are looking to meet slim partners! This is not a patch on the vast majority of us who often have unrealistic expectations.

Once again we can go back to the Law of Attraction. Like a magnet attracts iron filings, we will attract people with qualities that reside within our own selves. This makes it all the more important to better ourselves as best we can in order to attract the kind of partner we desire. We need to become more aware of who we are ourselves and what we can offer before we start making demands of other people.
