Relationships and Advice for Singles - 2 Jan 10

Food for a day

I have been talking about relationships many times but it is a topic which never gets boring because it is about love, about something that everyone desires and needs and which everyone is fascinated about. Why does it work for some people and for others it doesn’t?

You can have many theories about this topic and many people have different ideas about what is right, how a relationship should be and how you can reach to having a relationship. Especially those who are in a relationship sometimes enjoy giving advice to their single friends how they should do it. They think of their own – obviously successful – relationship and explain exactly how every move should be made. Then they watch their single friends try but somehow, in spite of all the helpful advice, it doesn’t work.

Let me tell you why: you need to be in the situation, in this place in which you have to feel, to speak and to act. There are different characters and you first need to get to know the other one. This cannot be done by talking in general. You need to be physically there and be in the situation. Have the will to get to know the other one. This also doesn’t happen in one or two hours, it takes some time. Remember that the other one also only sees those first two hours of you, not all the other aspects of your character. Give time and be there, with your full heart.

I think it's easy to compare yourself to others and judge yourself. You see others in happy relationships and you wish that for yourself. You ask, "Why not me? Why don't I get to have a relationship?" It's easy to fall into these thinking patterns, but they only bring us down. Trust in your own life path and just be yourself! Know that what unfolds for you is what God intended and you are in good hands. No need to rush it or force it... relationships will come when they are ready and when you are ready. :) Just trust and be yourself.

my problem in finding someone to partner with is that I don't think other people are interesting. Well everyone is interesting and great, but I mean sexually I do not find other people interesting. But the day I do find someone I actually like... I hope I can pull it together!

Words of Wisdom

  • Love

    Maybe you are sad because you still love the other one and he or she doesn’t want to be with you but you still have to love your love! Don’t be angry with yourself for this feeling and don’t switch into hate because of this advice. It is okay to follow your heart.

    Source
  • Sex

    The average Indian person will tell you that it is wrong to have sex before marriage. They think sex is something dirty, even if they are married. Before being married however it is thought to be a sin!

    Source
  • Love

    You cannot love God purely, there will either be fear or greed. Parents install these feelings related to God. God sees if you are a bad child! Don’t lie or fight with others, God knows everything! If you want to achieve something, be good and do what God says! Parents use God for their education – either threatening with him or promising that he would reward you.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion makes women inauspicious and depicts them as usable objects, as second-grade citizens who belong to men and should obey.

    Source
  • Perfectionism

    No culture or country is perfect - don't feel offended by criticism!

    Source
  • Religion

    Wouldn't it be best if we all could just be humans and not let religious leaders earn a lot of money through their manipulation.

    Source
  • Prayers

    You don’t need a church or temple to pray and get in touch with god.

    Source
  • God

    Your wishes create God.

    Source
  • Positivity

    Having a positive attitude can help especially in situations when it is difficult for someone else not to fall into a deep hole of negativity.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Everyone who really loves you wants you to be happy and strong and stable in your happiness. It is difficult to have stable happiness if you cannot have a stable opinion because all the time you actually worry in which direction you have to change your opinion now!

    Source
  • Prediction

    There is no plan and nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. We can take our decisions and have to take our responsibility for the consequences. Nobody knows before what will happen if you go one way or the other.

    Source
  • Religion

    Some people don't want to accept that what they believe in is a religion. It is a sign of bad conscience because of religion's control and manipulation. But calling it a 'way of life' does not change it!

    Source
  • Beauty

    Love your body also in the process of getting older. Just as a child has its beauty, age also has its own beauty!

    Source
  • Religion

    Criminals and people who do wrong live in fear of the consequences of their actions. Religion gives them a good way to find forgiveness. You only need to go to the temple regularly, tell a priest about what you have on your mind, pay some money, say some prayers and you are forgiven. Then you can go out to do the next crime.

    Source
  • Belief

    If you know that something is impossible but you still believe, you either want to close your eyes from reality or you are stupid. You will keep on cheating yourself and others - or will end up disappointed!

    Source
  • Closeness

    The base for strengthening an emotional connection is physical closeness. For any close emotional relation you need to be close physically.

    Source
  • Religion

    Don’t only talk to those who want to make you believe in their religion, talk to those who consciously decided not to believe. Make an experiment and see religion through the eyes of someone who has refused it.

    Source
  • Ego

    Let your ego dissolve in love. Do not show with ego how much you did for the other person not while doing and not after having done.

    Source
  • Belief

    People believe in superstition because it gives rest and comfort to the mind. It is the human nature that you want to believe only what is favourable and comfortable for you, even if that is not true.

    Source
  • Decision

    It is always your decision how you want to spend your day and your evening. If you want to be angry or if you want to have fun, the decision is yours!
