Do You Have What it Takes to Love Someone?
By: Shelley Franklin

How many times have you seen the perfect couple walking
down the street smiling lovingly at each other? Have
you ever found yourself in a relationship in which you
felt like this and thought 'This is THE only love for
me' only to later find yourself unable to stand the
thought of being with that person any longer?

Even if this has happened more than once, you can take
immediate steps to stop the heartbreak cycle by meeting
your soul mate and enjoying a lifetime of lasting love
through dating. Find out if you have what it takes
to fall in love and begin making positive changes in
your life today!

You must first realize that love doesn't happen on its
own; we allow love to occur as a result of our physical,
emotional, and intellectual choices. Love that is based
only on one or two of these choices will most likely
end in disappointment, but we have a much greater chance
of having a successful loving relationship if it is
based on all three of these elements. Do you still
think you have what it takes to fall in love? Use
the following loving relationship advice to help you
prepare for finding love if your not sure that you
are ready!

1. Know yourself well in order to know how to choose
a partner wisely. Start by making a list of your personality
traits, health practices, educational background, interests, strengths,
weaknesses, and personal and professional goals. When you
can discuss the person you are with confidence, you will
be more likely to appeal to the one you want.

2. Clearly define what you want in your relationship.
Write down the qualities you want most in your partner
in a long-term relationship. Then pick the ones that
are absolutely necessary, as well as those that you
are willing to overlook and accept, even if you don't
particularly like them.

3. Use your personal values to help you determine whether
or not a relationship is right for you.

4. Adopt a positive attitude and stop closing the door
to opportunities. Stop dwelling on negative feelings from
past relationships! By adopting a positive
attitude toward finding a relationship, you create the
space for limitless possibilities in your life to get
what you desire.

5. Always seek opportunities to improve your relationship.
When you enter a relationship with someone, evaluate
patterns of behavior that may be harmful to you and
your relationships with others around you. Just as importantly,
however, be on the look out for new patterns that can
lead to healthy, fulfilling relationships.

In conclusion, you can begin to take steps today to
greatly improve your chances of stopping the heartbreak
cycle. I sincerely hope you consider trying a few of
the tips listed to help you prepare to find the love
of your life. If you do try them out, then I'm sure
that you will have more fun and be less lonely in
the days to come because you will begin to have what
it takes to love someone.
