The new craze that is taking over social networks – making a list of everything you want in a partner. Making demands like being over six foot, having a new model car, owning a home and making six figures is what women are demanding out of their potential mate. Are we allowed to make these demands when we aren’t being the best versions of ourselves?

Reality Check

Before you jump on a dating site and make a list of your demands of your ideal partner, take a good look in the mirror. Are you doing everything to make you something to be desired? What are you bringing to the table? How can you match certain traits that you’re demanding.

Everyone needs to be realistic when it comes to what someone else can offer. When you do find love, your needs will be met in ways that you might have never expected. But it’s being open to the possibilities rather than being close minded and demanding.

Don’t Compare

Easier said than done, but when it comes to relationships, try to avoid comparing your situation with someone else’s. Everyone loves differently, and everyone fulfills certain needs in relationships in different ways. The grass will always be greener on the other side – until you find someone that is right for you. If you are constantly comparing your partner to someone else or wishing your situation was different, you may not be ready for a relationship. You have to be happy with yourself first, and then you will be ready to love again.

If you’ve been out on three dates with the same person and you’re just not sure if you’re feeling it, move on. It shouldn’t take that long to discover if you’re attracted to someone or not. Sure they maybe witty, charming, nice, sweet, yet if you’re just not convinced they’re the one for you, move on. There’s no point in continuing to date someone if the chemistry isn’t there. They maybe the sweetest guy in the world or the nicest girl, but if it doesn’t get your engines going by now it probably won’t ever.

Don’t try so hard to make it work. The more time you spend with Mr. Wrong is the less time you have to find Mr. Right. After three dates neither party should be too emotionally invested. It’s easier to break it off now versus dragging it out longer and breaking hearts. If you’re not sure by date three, be polite and let them know they’re just not the one for you. You should be 100% into someone to keep dating them. Be courteous and hopefully you can still gain a friendship. Never burn bridges or drag it out to the point where you just can’t stand the sight of the other person.

Even if the guy/ girl is totally into you make sure the feeling is mutual. You don’t have to stay in a relationship just to please them. I’m sure they’ll be a little bit sad, but more grateful if you’re up front and honest with them. I really think people value the truth. Just make sure you can be honest with yourself. As an attractive person you can have many people pursue you, just because they are doesn’t mean you have to date all of them. Hold out for the one who makes you just as happy as you make them.

When going out on first dates it’s important to listen to your date. Sometimes this is easier said than done, especially if you are a nervous talker. You start getting anxiety and keep talking to cover it up, yet you actually are showing that you are nervous. If you find yourself doing this, stop, take a deep breath and listen.

It’s great if you are a talker because this is how someone is going to get to know you. No one wants to be on a date with a stump on a log. I’ve heard this from many guys that women will just sit there on a date and not say anything. Though, make sure you are also listening to find out about him. If he’s a great listener and you talk the entire night away, he knows everything about you, but what do you know about him?

Stop talking and start asking questions, that’s when you start learning about someone else. When you ask a question make sure to fully listen to their answer and not preoccupy yourself with what your response is going to be. Ask about items that will reveal qualities to see if they match what you want in a partner.

Improve your listening skills. Check out this article to hear what people are really saying.

Going the Distance

When going out on first dates sometimes you’ll come across someone who lives 30-40 some miles away from you. If you live in a densely populated area, like Tampa Bay, there are a few million people within a small area, plenty of opportunity to meet new people. Though, traffic can make even the shortest of distances take almost an hour.

Be conscious of how far someone is going to drive to meet you and vice versa. With work schedules and traffic patterns going to meet someone for a short meet n’ greet could take up to two hours round trip in traffic.

The courteous thing to do is meet half way. It would be irritating to drive an hour to meet someone to only find out they don’t look like their photos or there’s no connection. At least meeting somewhere in-between is fair to both people.

If there is a connection and more follow up dates then each person should take turns going to the other person’s part of town. If you feel you find yourself stuck with a person who never wants to leave their comfort zone or drive the hour to see you, move on. It’s not fair especially if you’re the one always doing the driving. How do you know if they really like you if you’re always putting forth the effort? It makes it easy on them. Hey, I’ll hang out with her because I’m bored and she’s here.

If a guy is really into you he will move mountains, swim across oceans, or jump over skyscrapers to see you. If he’s always making you go the distance, stop. See if he comes to you. If he does then you know he wants to spend time with you. If he doesn’t then your relationship was more of a convenience.  Hold out for the guy who would do anything just to be by your side.

How Long Should You Wait to Have Sex?

This is a big topic of conversation in the dating world, mostly important to women. Obviously men wouldn’t wait two minutes after meeting someone they like to jump in the sack. Yet for women, we are usually the ones who have to instill some restraints.

Then the question arises, how long do you wait? Some people say the third date is the sex date, yet how well do you really now someone after three dates? Other women have a time frame of 30 days until that comes into play. Patti, from the Millionaire Match Maker on Bravo, says you have to first define monogamy with both partners before jumping into bed.

That is another entirely separate conversation, when is it defined as monogamy? Do you have the “talk” and then sex for monogamy? Or do you have sex then it defines you as monogamous? What comes first, the chicken or the egg? Unfortunately most women think once you have sex you are monogamous, though for most men, it’s just sex. Feelings get hurt when there is no open communication and you just assume.  It’s not a comfortable talk it makes you feel like you’re back in grade school. Will you be my girlfriend? Circle yes or no.

A fellow blogger was reading the book by Steve Harvey “Straight Talk, No Chaser: How to find, keep and understand a man.” (You can read her blog here). Steve Harvey says a woman should wait 90 days prior to having sexual encounters with a man. I agree with his philosophy behind it, that it’s going to take that long to find out if a man is really interested in you. Though, 90 days, that’s a long time! Shoot my ex-husband couldn’t handle more than 12 hours! So how do we know while making him wait 90 days that he’s not screwing other women in the meantime?

If we wait three whole months while dating someone to make sure they are the person we want to “share our cookies with” what if the sex sucks when we do have it? Then we have just wasted three months with a man who will never give us an orgasm. Sex isn’t everything in a relationship, but it’s a big piece of the puzzle. I cannot spend the rest of my life with a man with whom there is no sexual chemistry.

So what do you think, how long should we wait before having sex?
