10 Signs You are Dating For All The Wrong Reasons
All you need is love but we all know that being in a relationship has all sorts of perks. The biggest problem is that some people tend to believe that being in a relationship is the only answer . Our minds seek stimulation, joy, and purpose from relationships, and we sometimes use romantic relationships to meet our need for love, especially in recovery.
Read the following 10 wrong reasons to be in a relationship.
1. You don’t want to be lonely – You Just Really Want A boyfriend/relationship. Probably the most common reason people enter the wrong relationship is because they just want to simply be with someone… anyone.
2. You feel pressure – Though you can not see or touch it, peer pressure is real. Everyone at some point gets affected by it at some point in their life.
3. Filling The Void- If you are unhappy in life then odds are there is a spiritual void in some area or another that is not being addressed. When you find you’re only happy when you are in a romantic relationship or dating, then you are probably not filling that void, and whatever happiness you gain in each relationship cannot last.
4. You Want Someone To Do Stuff For You- A lot of girls dating guys because they want someone to buy stuff for them, or do stuff for them. In other words, they’re craving security for some reason. Not cool. Don’t use someone for what they can give you.
6. You Don’t Want To Be The Only Single Friend- There’s nothing wrong with being single. You cannot date just because you feel embarrassed about being singular. The time will come for you to date, so don’t rush!
8. You Just Want Someone To Hook up With- Speaking of using people… don’t date someone just to have someone to hook up with. Guys are definitely not the only people who do this – I know girls who have done it too. You wouldn’t like this to be done to you, so don’t do it to others!
9. You are dating to please your parents- Your reason for dating someone should only be because it makes you happy – it shouldn’t matter what other people think. Don’t let your parents influence you on stuff like this.
10. You just want to sleep with them- Stop Dating Someone You Don’t Have A Future With Just Because It’s Convenient. Love is not about sex. love is about experiences shared
