Why Flirting Advice for Singles does not Work - 3 Jan 10

03 Jan 2010  Vrindavan, India

Food for a day

I said already yesterday that there are many people who have advice for those who are looking for a relationship. There is a lot of general advice in books, magazines and of course on the internet. On TV there are shows in which one woman has a selection of men to choose from or shows where psychologists give advice about flirting to singles who then straight away try it.

The main point about this kind of advice is that it is very general. How can you give one advice to millions of people who are all leading different lives, have different characters and behave, feel and think in different ways?

Of course someone who has met many people can already tell something about a person’s character after some talk and a little bit of time with that person. In this way you could give advice: if you meet a shy person, do this. If you meet such a character, better do that. As soon as it goes deeper however, when the first step is done and both sides agree on being with each other, then no general advice like that can help anymore. You are then in this situation and nobody was there before because it is you, one unique character, mind and person, and a second unique character. And when you get closer, you may have a similar situation like one of your friends, who would like to help you with advice, but your friend’s partner is not yours! He or she is a different being.

It is like hand-painted pictures. Every picture is different and it takes time until you have discovered every small detail that the painter has added. god is the painter who created us and now it is up to us to discover each other.

you are right I think, generic love advice is only about the game of pursuit.. it doesn't speak at all of love or relationships, just about the game.

Words of Wisdom

  • Children

    Let your children grow up without learning violence in video games. Teach them instead to play with each other, not against each other. Show them that a child of another nation and maybe with another language is just as valuable as they are themselves.

    Source
  • Meditation

    Meditation has become a sign of being spiritual or religious. Don't do it regularly however simply because your religion tells you to. Such a ritual often becomes a habit and loses its benefit.

    Source
  • Feelings

    Human traded his sensitivity for a modern lifestyle.

    Source
  • Money

    If you generously spend money for your happiness, donate something for the happiness of others, too! Don’t only give your blessings but actually make a difference! Wealth requires Sensitivity!

    Source
  • Gurus

    Devotees are told to be humble, surrender, finish their ego and do what their guru says - he will take care of your Karma account so you have to give him all rights to it. Easy but so dangerous!

    Source
  • Religion

    People have been inspired by religion to do extremely good deeds – but in the same way others have been inspired to do extremely bad things, too. The problem is the manipulation by religion and the lack of responsibility of the believers.

    Source
  • Children

    Beating children only creates anger as well as the thought: ‘Okay, now I am small, you are big, let me become big and then we will see!’

    Source
  • Parenting

    Housewives - you are not worth less! Babies need their Mothers!

    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
  • Prayers

    Many people think of God as a very distant, unreachable power. For them God is not close and their prayers are very formal. A prayer is something special and can be in many forms, not only certain words. But you need closeness, your heart should be in your prayer.

    Source
  • Happiness

    If there is no sparkle in life, you don’t like to get up in the morning. If it is like this, change something. Bring love and fun into your life. You are the one who controls your mood. Be happy and enjoy your life, each day!

    Source
  • Friend

    Take a step to make relations closer: call the other one your Friend!

    Source
  • Hope

    Never give up and never lose hope. You can always make a change.

    Source
  • Soul

    Illusion only exists with the limitations of this earth. Once the soul is liberated and free of the body and this material world, rich or poor, high or low does not matter anymore.

    Source
  • Expectations

    Don't expect more of yourself than your natural limits allow!

    Source
  • Sects

    If you see a friend being pulled into a sect or a group that has bad practices, tell him what you think about it but in the end you have to let him believe what he wants to believe.

    Source
  • Life

    Learning is not only for children. Life can always teach you something, your age doesn’t matter. It is wonderful to be curious for something new, something you have not experienced yet.

    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
  • Religion

    Religion has lost its purpose. It has no future, the young generation is refusing it and it is slowly dying.

    Source
  • Soul

    Love is the soul of our soul. Without it, you can be alive, but your soul is dead. We need love, it is the essence of our essence.
