Seven Dating And Relationship Resolutions For 2012

7 Ways I Plan to Overhaul my Love Life in 2012

Although this is what I hope to do this New Year, you might find some of these goals helpful to you as well. And guys, I know these are pretty female focused, I think you may find some that apply to you and please if I left anything out or you’ve got any suggestions, please feel free to add to the list below in the comments section.

Happy New Year!

1. Make Being In A Relationship A Priority

Since I was a little kid, I never put marriage and family at the top of my to-do list. But as I get older and learn myself more, I realize how much I value companionship and that it is not only okay to want to be in a relationship (I used to see it as a sign of weakness), but it is also highly beneficial. Aside from the fact that married people live longer, I’m actually a more pleasant person when I’m in a relationship.

2. Be True To Myself

This is a tough one I find for many women. We so often get consumed by our relationships or by the fact that we’re not in one at all. But in 2012, I want to become more in tune with what I want. The specifics — how I want to feel, how I want to live, who I want to be and how I can find someone that not only compliments those desires but also who helps me get there. 

3. Save A Little For Me

This falls in line with  #2, “being true to myself,” I want to be able to strike a healthy balance between love and career. I want to be able to date and get my work done without feeling overwhelmed or as though I have to choose. I’m not sure how this will work other than simply making “me” time. And the bonus is that having my own personal and professional life makes me even more attractive to potential mates. Or so I’ve been told.
