Tips
- Enjoy your single status for a while. Fretting about it won't change it but getting on with loving your life is guaranteed to bring people into your sphere who may prove of interest to you.Thanks
- If you're very young and/or religious - before you're intimate, make sure you're both committed to a relationship. Meet their family and let them meet yours. Hang out with them and their friends; invite them to hang out with you and yours. It may sound silly to do all of this before you even think about being intimate, but the way someone behaves in social or familial situations may make you realize this person isn't for you.Thanks
- Listen to your friends' opinions about your new love, but don't take all of them to heart. Hear them, consider them, keep the ones that are valuable, and discard the rest. Remember friends are only human. They can make errors in judgment and they can also get jealous. Use your own good judgment and common sense!Thanks

Warnings
- In this day and age, you can never be too safe. Do not be afraid to ask your potential mate to get an HIV test or to have a background check. Just be willing to provide the same information. If you're going to ask someone for this information, be careful when you do it. Waiting three months and until you've already built a trusting, loving beginning to a relationship may tell them you don't trust them and end a good thing. Asking too early may make you seem a little crazy. The appropriate time to ask is at the moment when you are sure you want to be more committed to this person than just as a social companion.Thanks
- Never try or expect to change somebody into your ideal. It has never worked!Thanks
