1. Be open

 
It’s important to keep your energy open to love in all shapes and forms instead of just searching for your type or used to. Remember, if you are looking for your type, then it will end the same way others have. Having a new perspective and going in with an open mind and heart will be all the difference. Only you will know when you are ready to find true love. You may want love but dig deep because you also may not be ready yet and that’s okay. We can want true love but also not be ready at the same time. It’s good to evaluate your readiness.
 

2. Reevaluate your desires (what you want and don’t want)

 
It isn’t always just what you want in a relationship or a partner. It’s actually just as or often more important to identify what you DON’T want. It’s a great way to filter what you’re really looking for instead of trying to check all the boxes. It’s crucial to keep in mind that no one is perfect and no relationship is perfect. With communication, focus more on the quality rather than the frequency of it. Pay more attention to the feeling you get initially and if it grows stays steady or maybe just falls flat. Thinking and feeling are two different things. So pay attention to how you feel literally, more than anything.
 

3. Take your time

 
Don’t feel like you need to rush. Finding true love isn’t going to happen at a certain age kr time as everyone else. Everyone is different and everyone has their own path and journey to follow. It’s hard to control that urge to want love early on in life and not go through hurt and pain and other relationships that don’t work out. In reality, we can’t control that. It’s not a bad thing. It’s just a real thing. The very best things always take time. And it’s always worth the wait.
 

4. Understanding

 
Understanding that there is no one size fits all type of relationship. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Whether it’s the type of consistency, or even how fast the relationship should move. There is no rule book on how relationships should go. We may look around and see examples of what we want. But it’s all about the person you are and that they are in order to see the compatibility and then going from there.
 

5. Identify your love language

 
Make it known to your future partner, this way there will be better understanding on how you show love and want to be shown love and vice versa. A love relationship is probably the closest you can be with a person. There’s no need to be shy with the person you know you might spend your life with. Whether it’s physical touch or gift giving or maybe a mixture of a few types. You can really get to know each other. As well as having a better understanding of how you would like to see effort from each other.
