The idea of dating again might be the last thing on your mind after a breakup. That doesn’t make it any less important. Moving on with your life and finding new love is all a part of the healing process. Until you can put your old boyfriend behind you and move on to the next one you’ll never really be healed or whole.

Dating is more than a boy meets girl type of ritual. It’s part of a process that has been used to ensure survival of the species for generations. Even if you’re not thinking along those lines your biology certainly is.

So, what are the guidelines for dating in these modern times?

First, you don’t want to be too eager. While you might be hovering around your phone waiting for his call or text message give it a few seconds before you grab the phone and respond. This lets him know that you’re interested but doesn’t paint the picture of some desperate lady (surrounded by a dozen or so cats – not that there is anything wrong with having a cat or two) waiting for the phone to ring.

Second, embrace technology but do not over indulge. Just as you would be annoyed if a guy you were interested in expected you to be at his beck and call 24/7 you should return the favor when it comes to him. More importantly, you shouldn’t call or text 24/7.

Give him time to miss you when you’re not together and look forward to seeing you again. Depending on how long you’ve been in your committed relationship, all this new technology might seem a bit novel for dating. Just remember that it can also quickly become a thorn in your side or a bone of contention that will end the relationship before it really begins.

Finally, embrace the power of positive thinking. We live in a world where people are discovering universal secrets and truths. Use them well and use them to work for your benefit. You’ll be surprised at how powerful affirmations and positive thinking can be as forces within your life not only for wealth and health but also for happiness in romance and overall emotional wellbeing.

Whether you’re using the marvels of modern technology or tapping into the powers of the universe to help you start dating again be sure to put yourself first during the process for at least part of the time. This will help you find someone who is truly worthy of you.
