Personal Narrative: My Experience With Dating

I have dated a lot in my life. When I was young, I was obsessed with dating. I didn't like being single, and I enjoyed the process of getting to know someone new and developing a relationship.

I wasn't just in it to date, though. I was it in to find a relationship like my parents had. A happy, fulfilling, and joyful relationship that would last and last and last...

The Problem I Had With Dating

But, the problem was that I was so focused on a finding relationship that I didn't really focus on what kind of guy I was really dating or what kind of guy I really wanted.

Often, I would fool myself into thinking I was dating a nice guy with big potential when really I was dating someone addicted to drugs, not ready to commit, or someone with complete
"Why do I always attract jerks?!" was something I said a lot.

Now I can see that it was the law of attraction and I was unable to attract anything else.

I felt like I deserved jerks after a while.
I felt like I was supposed to change them and make them better.
I felt like I was a strong person because I could handle someone who didn't treat me right.

And, with hindsight, he has one quality on my list that I didn't really know at the time. He is the most accepting person I have ever met in my life. He never puts me down. Never tells me I'm doing something wrong. He lets me be me at all times, and I love that about him so much!

The Law Of Attraction And Me Finding Love

Ask, believe, and receive. These are the three elements of the law of attraction that everyone talks about. And without knowing it, I used them to find the perfect man for me.

There is a reason a list works so well. It helps you clearly see what you want (ask for it) and gives you hope that you are going to find it (allows you to believe). In fact, you start to expect that you will find it without question because it is your intention! And, when you keep your eyes open, you can see the signs leading you to your desire and receive it with open arms.
