One bad date doesn’t mean much; a string of bad dates may mean a lot. If you keep thinking this one is “the one” and are wrong again and again, it may be time to stop, look, and listen.
When you get home, evaluate your expectations and examine your dating patterns. Only then can you stop making the same mistakes over and over. Answer the following questions in your dating notebook so you have a basis on which to begin analysis, understanding, and change.
- What qualities must your ideal date absolutely, positively have?
- What must your ideal date not be?
- Why was this date a disaster?
- Think back to the last disaster date you had — what things went wrong then? (If this is your first bad date, skip this question.)
- Looking back over your lists, are there any similarities between what you put on the “My date must not be” list and the (one or) two “disaster date” lists?
