We all have committed mistakes in our dating lives or our relationships. Some we have lived to regret. Through some research here are the most common regrets of dating people or people in a relationship.
1. Most people regret not settling down with their childhood sweetheart or 1st love at college. They always believe that there will be more fish out there so why settle down? There might be more fish out there but do they actually fit your taste and personality. Compared to that proven fish that you have already established with your childhood sweetheart or 1st college love. Some people who didn't marry their childhood sweetheart will only think that they have settled for 2nd best only. This will be unfair to the other party, because you will always be thinking about that 1st love.
2. Dating people for the very wrong reasons always result in disasters. There might be some that could pull it off but it could be rare. Some people date for reasons of that person being physically attractive, business reasons, business contracts, sex or even just out of sympathy. We instead should date people who we seem to like because of their great personality or that being a match for us. A friend of mine tried to date a Muslim because she was pretty attractive, eventually things didn't work out because of cultural differences. If you know that you are entering a dating situation where things will really not work out, don't waste your time on it. There could be others out there while you're wasting your time on the wrong person.
3. People always regret not taking the offer of the date when the offer was there. People will always ask the "what if" question. Just imagine all the girls who turned down Bill Gates now. Bottom line give the person a chance, it won't hurt to have a sip of coffee for only 30 minutes. You might even find out you might click.
4. In our current society most 20 something people will put career ahead of their love life. This is not a bad thing though. But once you hit your 30's you will seem to lose something within you. You will become less attractive because of aging signs. Our body clocks will eventually catch up on us. Also most good catches will be fewer. Try to balance out your career and social life. Having a love life doesn't mean you need to get married and sacrifice your career. It might even inspire you to work harder. It's just how you view the situation.
5. Never date a married person. Dating a married person always guarantees disaster. This relationship will always be about deceit, lies and cheating. The unmarried party will also be led to expect something that could or might never happen; which is being in a serious relationship with the married person. It might also bother your conscience that you are destroying the life of the married couple. This relationship or dating period will never ever work out and be fun. It will always be filled with doubt.
6. Stupid regrets here, people leave the person they love. Don't know why. If you love the person why leave him or her? Often reasons for a person leaving his or her partner are due to infidelity. If things do eventually go broke it might be too late to go back. I mean if you love the person why be unfaithful? It might be tempting but it's only a test of your relationship. Bottom-line, be faithful.
7. People also regret not ending a really bad relationship earlier. There might have been a time during the bad relationship that there was someone better who would've wanted to be with you. But because you were in that bad relationship you passed out on that other wonderful person. So if you think you're just not in the right situation have the courage to end it.
8. Don't be jackass in your relationship. People often regret that they could have been nicer to their partner. It will always haunt you when you treat your partner badly. How could our relationship have ended if I was nicer? Try to be courteous, remembering special dates (no matter how cheesy they are), kind, compromising, getting something special, being spontaneous. Don't be too late to change, because you might regret it.
9. Don't be callous when dumping a person. It definitely hurts and karma has a way of finding you.
