Cupid’s Advice:

Being in a relationship is a 50/50 commitment, but that doesn’t mean that you have to lose control of who you are.  When dating, you have to be able to have the courage to say “no” to what you don’t want and say “yes” to new experiences:

1. Date on your terms: Date when you’re ready, and date who you want to.  Don’t necessarily rule out blind dates, but don’t force yourself to look for love where it isn’t a chance of it happening.

2. Know when to say “no”: Sometimes we get comfortable with a partner and are scared to let go when we feel that the relationship is not going right.  If you’re not happy, the relationship will fail.

3. Say “yes”: Don’t turn down the chance to go on a date with someone you probably wouldn’t have thought of getting to know.  If you’re in a relationship, don’t be afraid to say “yes” to trying new things to keep your love life fresh.
