Dating

Dating can be fun, exciting, exhilarating, embarrassing, demoralizing and confusing … all at the same time. Most of us would like to have a partner … someone that you can count on to spend time with, a shoulder to cry on, someone to laugh with … or as the line in the movie from “Shall We Dance” we want someone just to be there to witness our lives.

Meeting someone that you truly want to invest time in often means “weeding” through some others that are not good matches. When you are no longer in school, or a group where there are easy and plentiful opportunities to meet that special someone, it becomes even more challenging. A wise person once told me that there are at least 25 people nearby that you could be very happy with and develop a strong, long-term relationship. It is finding that person … and finding the wisdom to pick out the best match, develop the courage and skills to explore that relationship.

We will be sharing some of our ideas .... and would welcome yours.
