We realized that for many people, 2020 may be the year to find love and decided to simplify that process by offering options for easier pairings.
Relationships are not easy to form – there’s the difficulty of meeting people, bonding with them, finding out if they match your spirit, and then going all the way.
It can be hard, especially if you’re looking for a romantic relationship this year without knowing where to start.
To begin with, we want to point out that anything is possible if you know where to start. So, if you’ve been heartbroken so many times and you want to try this love thing again, we salute you for being brave.
If you’re just climbing aboard the ‘falling in love’ bus, we also welcome you.
Either way, this post will help all those who seek for genuine romantic connections in 2020, and maybe beyond.
Without further ado, here are seven ways to successfully find love in 2020.
1. Be active with online dating applications:
There are a host of dating applications out there. Some examples are Tinder and Zoosk. You can also use your social media as a dating application as several love stories have started with social media.
Be a little more open-minded and try social media as a means to achieve your relationship goals for 2020.
Sorting through all the nos will be worth it when you finally find someone that gives you that yes, which is really all you need.
Be unafraid on the journey to achieving your goals and you’ll soon have a wonderful story to tell too.
2. Be more social:
You cannot meet many people by sitting at home, and the more people you meet, the higher your chances of meeting your special someone are.
While it may be more comfortable to stay in your comfort zone and stay at home, doing whatever it is you do, it may be better for your goals to actually go out whenever people invite you out for a social gathering.
On the other hand, you can also go out on your own and enjoy some time by yourself. As always, keep an open mind.
3. Stop ghosting people:
Imagine that you’ve been speaking to someone for a few weeks and they suddenly stop communicating with you. They stop answering your calls and block you on all social media channels. How would that make you feel?
If you would not like someone doing that to you, then it means you also need to stop doing it to people.
Apart from that, you never know, you may be ghosting that special person.
Be honest with people, tell them how you feel about certain situations and if necessary, let them know that you cannot continue the friendship if it ever becomes toxic. It’ll be better for you in the long run.
4. Decide what you want in a relationship:
Something very important to know is that if you don’t know what you’re looking for, you’ll never know when you’ve found it.
Start by identifying what you want in a relationship – do you want a long term relationship, a long term relationship, children? You need to identify all of that before you go searching so you know when you have found what you want.
5. Work on yourself:
Self-development is the most important thing you can do for your future relationships.
Use experiences from your past relationships to check what worked and what didn’t, what was your fault, what you can improve upon.
You can also use this personal data to identify the things that you won’t accept in future relationships.
Heal any old grievances you may be carrying around from old relationships, work on parts of yourself that need work, then put yourself out there again.
6. Ask people you know to set you up:
It’s very likely that the people in your life know the type of people who’d be a great fit for you and they’d be willing to help you out.
Be more outgoing and ask the people in your life for help. Let your friends and family know you’re open to a new relationship and ask them to send people your way.
You never know, you may find someone special this way.
7. Go on more than one date:
Many people don’t go on a second date if the second one was less than perfect, and in some cases, that’s not a good practice.
If the date was absolutely terrible, then, by all means, don’t go on another, but sometimes, you need more than one meeting to properly get to know a person.
Give people room to get comfortable with you and show their real selves. Sometimes a person truly opens up when they’re more relaxed with the person they’re relating with.
So, that’s it! What other tips do you consider useful for finding dates? Let us know in the comments section below.
