12 Things I Learned About Dating

Surround yourself with Good People

Whenever you are ready to enter into a romantic relationship, you might consider going with right people - they will influence you a lot.

This is not always the case but most of the time, you get linked to people you choose to be with. For instance, if your friends love travelling probably you'd wanting to visit new places.

We all desire a good partner. This only means that you should also be with good people. That helps a lot in eliminating poor partners and can set standards. Now, it's not about being a "social climber" (such a stereotype to some) because you wanted to be with a rich guy, but being a person with full potential to attract with others of the same caliber.

After I graduated college, my professor keeps on pushing us to look for a boyfriend. One thing that left a mark was what she said.

"Don't just look too far. There are many professionals here in the university. There is not a bad place to look for."

I giggled. Then I realized that she was somehow right. Some of us worked so hard to finish our degree, we deserve someone who did the same to reach their dreams.

To be fair with my statement, I did try having a relationship with someone who is different from me. At that time, he never desired to grow but to just work abroad and earn a good money. A complete opposite of me. I really wanted to enhance my skills and by that, I would want to enrol for Masters which he did not support. This is not always the case because I did meet someone who fully supports me but he only wants me to do it alone. I mean, he only wants to see me from a far. Verbally, he is encouraging but physically, he is absent.

If you have found you think is "the one", then congratulations! But if you are still looking for a partner, surround yourself with good people.
