I had crushes on many boys back in high school but they never developed to anything else since my family moved around numerous times and I lost contact with most of the people I knew at the old school. I did not date until I was in college and I guess it's a good way and time to get to know what dating is like and my maturity helped me to deal with the fallout of dating at a quicker pace than compared to when I was in high school; in addition, I did not have to go through the dramas and the horrendous conflicts that many teenagers live to tell today. The first guy I dated was a medical student and despite how smart and academic oriented he was, he accepted me as our background is similar and we knew each other back since high school, though we only hung out and our conversation never passes beyond greetings, before he left for graduate school. We dated for a few months and called it off; then after him, I dated a few guys on and off but nothing serious turned out from those experiences. Though, I have to say there were some little dramas in some experiences but despite my bad experiences of dating so far, I learned so much from them and I think they gave me strength and inner wisdom to tackle many roadblocks in life so far.
Here are a few lessons I learned from my many dating experiences:
1. Understanding and communication are the keys to successful relationships. Without them, there will be no strong foundation of the relationship and when problems arise, the relationships will be tested and the chance of its failing is high due to the lack of the strong foundation.
2. It is okay if things not work out. It's park of life. Move on.
3. There will be better opportunities out there. I noticed as I date more guys, I have a better understanding of myself and as a result, I made better first-time impressions. Those missed opportunities and guys are just preparing you for what better to come.
4. Don't try to please everyone because it won't work. Just be yourself and the right things will follow you.
