1. Widen your networks
There are many men who will fit the criteria that is your ideal. Seek him diligently, prudently, patiently and exercise wisdom. Approach others with curiosity, compassion, and kindness but exercise caution.
2. Nobody is perfect
Seek personal development as an individual and be clear who it is that you seek as a partner. It helps to have a checklist concerning your preferences for the person, at least five with three non-negotiable. Manage your expectations.
3. Be at your best behavior
Watch out for behavior that could be construed as needy, desperate and clingy. Do not be too assertive and certainly do not take the date opportunity to bring about your wealth, position of power or influence. This is a moment of creating trust and friendship that could possibly go the next level and too much personal information could intimidate the prospective partner.
4. Be sensual and cute not sexy
While sexual energies may be high due to attraction, don’t engage sexually. This causes one to lose their sense of judgment. Avoid physical contact and continue to engage on intellectual connection. Respect the natural progression of intimacy, dress appropriately and by all means avoid showing too much flesh.
5. Self-disclose with limitation
This is not an opportunity to offload your heartbreaks. Do not talk about your past, the mistakes you have made, the expectations of this relationship if it were to go anywhere instead talk about your passions, and do more listening to get to know your date better. Avoid too much personal detail.
