“Date as many people as you can — within reason, that is. Besides helping you improve your dating skills by getting the practice you need to become a skilled dater, going out with lots of people exposes you to the range of possibilities — good and bad — that exist among potential partners and relationships. You’ll come to cherish this knowledge when the time comes to make that all-important choice in a life partner.”
Don’t play games
“The games people play in dating and relationships — like trying to be ‘busy’ when they’re not or pretending to have another call coming in — are as old as time, as is the damage they cause. Any time you project an image that is not real, you are hiding your true self and playing a game you’ll eventually lose. You may win attention, sympathy, or admiration for the moment, but it won’t last — it’s only a game.”
—Dr. Les and Leslie Parrott, instructors of “Relationships I & II” at Seattle Pacific University
