Modern dating is perilous for the rest of us. Because there are so many rules and games to play, it’s easy to become confused. Your mind could start to speed when someone you truly liked “left you on read” because you’re excessively deciphering what their last few texts mean. Your troubles may not always be solved by finding someone. It may seem simple, but I refer to this as the “bar test” to see if you are with the right person. When you’re out with your new partner, do you scan the surroundings to see if anyone else is close or might see you two together? Or do you want everyone to see how happy you two are in each other’s company? If the latter is accurate, he or she passes the test. However, if the latter is the case, you might want to think twice before continuing your relationship with that person. If a person can genuinely be happy for your success and life goals, they won’t feel the need to hold you back. In the majority of unhappy marriages, one partner somehow undermines the other. If you date someone who is happy with their life, you could be happy for them and with them. By listening to your heart, you can determine whether the person you’re dating is the right one for you. In this case, intuition is the way your heart speaks to you. Most people can probably think of a time when they choose not to listen to it. When you feel content, when you think your partner is real and patient with you, when they treat you equally at home and in public, you know you’re on the right track.
