Put your past behind and move on to make a new beginning. Just because one man/woman dumped you doesn’t necessarily mean that others won’t prize you. Pucker up your waning trust and go and grab the one meant for you. The effort will indeed be worth it!

Well, that maybe because you were too quick to give your heart to someone, who didn’t deserve it in the first place. One wrong relationship can often get you dabbling with more hearts, thus leaving you embittered and frustrated. Take it slow. Allow your heart to heal before you get on to the track to find your ultimate match. Take time to know the person before handing out your heart.

Expectations, expectations and more expectations - is there any end to what you want from you partner?

Are you hooked to this guy, but finding it extremely difficult to commit? Well, in that case, it is important to acknowledge your feelings to the person. Instead of bottling up your emotions, let it flow. Confess to your partner about your inhibitions and see how he/she reacts. If the person truly loves you, he/she will understand and wait till you are ready to commit.

 

All relationships come saddled with their own flips and flops and you need to take everything in your stride to make sure your relationship lasts. No one is perfect.
