Also remember not to take your date's reticence on certain matters personally. They may just be protecting themselves in case you turn out to be a psycho. For the first few weeks, if he doesn't want you to see his car, or she doesn't want to tell you where she lives, that's smart. If it's been six months, however, you should smell a rat. You never know what can come from a date: it may be nothing, it may be a friendship, it may be a romance. Don't set impossible standards for yourself or your date. You may certainly have a wish list, but you're now mature enough to know that no one person can be expected to meet all your needs. Allow yourself and others to be human. That doesn't mean accepting someone as partner if he or she doesn't enrich and enhance your life in important ways, but it does mean getting rid of fantasies of the perfect mate. Just be open to everyone you meet. Maybe you've found your next employer. A sister or brother-in-law. Or a new friend. Learn from your dates; even if they go badly, it can help you identify the qualities you don't want in a mate. Have respect for yourself: you deserve to be treated well. Have respect for others: don't be rude unless you have to. Above all, relax and enjoy yourself. Dating may seem very different this time around, but it's still good fun and can be very rewarding.
