10 Dating Tips For An Introvert

For introverts dating world is a little tricky.

Since introverts find it hard to express themselves, they avoid any situation where they have to talk. This makes it tough for them to step into the dating world as it requires talking and sharing some space with the other person. So, if you are an introvert who wishes to enter into the dating world, then here are a few tips to help you.

1. Be Clear About Dating

As an introvert, you must make a clear decision about whether to date or not. Don’t succumb to any pressure from family, friends, or peers. Instead, ask yourself whether you are ready to meet new people and allow them to become an important part of your life. Know that dating means long conversations, going out, participating in exciting activities, etc. So, if you wish to date, make sure you feel confident about it.

2. Online Dating or Conventional Dating

Online dating means making a dating profile on various dating websites like tinder, OkCupid, etc. On the other hand, conventional dating refers to the idea of dating people that you may have met through relatives, friends, or acquaintances. So, choose if you are eager to meet a stranger on an online dating website or go on a date set up by your friends or relatives. If you wish to go for online dating, then make a dating profile on any dating app.

3. Do Not Rush

It doesn’t matter whether you are meeting a new person via online dating or through a friend. What matters is that you should take your time and decide if you wish to give that person a chance or not. Do not make any decision in haste. Once you have decided you are ready for your first date.

4. Over Thinking is a Big No

After you have decided to meet the other person on a specific date at a specific time, all you need to do is to remain calm. Do not think about how it will go or how you’ll start a conversation. Just go and give it a try.

5. Prepare Yourself For Small Talks

Before meeting your partner, make sure to convince yourself for small talk. Go with a mindset that keeps you focused and calm. You may reach ten minutes early at the venue so and take your time to feel calm and collected.

6. Familiar Venues with fewer Crowds

Going out on dates is quite important, for it allows you to know your partner better. You can dine while getting to learn about each other’s likes, dislikes, and habits. But as an introvert, you will find it quite challenging to step out and talk to a person who may or may not be an introvert likes you. Furthermore, you may not even like the idea of sitting with a stranger in an unfamiliar place. So, the best option is to find a place that gives you a sense of familiarity. Now, this may be a place where you visit quite often with your family or friends. But make sure you choose to set the date during the hours when it’ sits less crowded. After all, as an introvert, you wouldn’t want familiar faces to interrupt your date for may it get awkward.

7. Relax, Converse, Enjoy

For introverts, it is not easy to begin a conversation if they are feeling anxious. So, you must take a deep breath and let go of any stress and anxiety. You don’t need to worry about establishing a conversation. The more you, the more anxious you’ll feel. So, try not to think and focus on the things that allow you to relax. This will help you to find better topics to establish a conversation. For example, take a look around you and try to converse about how beautiful the place is, what it reminds you about, etc. Connecting the outside world with you will help you to talk about your likes, dislikes, happy memories, etc. Eventually, you’ll feel comfortable while conversing with your partner.

8. Maintain the Flow of Conversation

Once you have established the conversation, try to maintain the flow by finding similarities between you two. This means you can’t ask questions that are focused, carry a negative connotation, or sound rude. Instead, focus on questions that are about you and your partner. Remember your date is about you two. It is not about your family or your political ideologies. Try to avoid topics that are likely to create conflicts and not memories.

9. Use non-verbal Communication

You may have established the conversation, but you may not be able to hold it for long. Of course, your partner will also participate in holding the conversation. But don’t expect him/her to speak for long for it is both tiring and boring. So, if you are finding it hard to converse verbally, then try to converse non-verbally. This means smiling more often, nodding your head on agreements/disagreements, using hand gestures, etc. In other words, show some interest in making the conversation engaging.

10. Speak About Yourself

While talking, introverts tend to be silent or zoned out. It happens due to their tendency to hide their feelings and thoughts. The easy way for introverts to start the conversation is to accept their introverted nature and tell their partners about it. In this way, your partner will also make equal efforts to know about you. Also, it will allow you to break the ice and share your feelings and thoughts with your partner.

So, relax and use these tips to feel confident on your first date. It is fine to feel a little nervous or anxious due to excitement. But don’t let it ruin your date. Take control of your anxiety and show up with a smile and confident body language. All you have to do is to be yourself. You may be an introvert, but that doesn’t mean you are boring. It simply means you need to put more effort as compared to other people.

Dating in Asia: How Is It Different From The Rest of the World

Dating in Asia: How Is It Different From The Rest of the World

The dating scene in Asia has been changing and yet it is traditional. The change is in terms of the platforms used to meet new people and some thinking. It is still traditional because most people date to find long term relationships like marriage at some point. Very few date casually without thinking about marriage. There are multiple apps and Asian dating sites that allow singles to meet and decide if they want to date. Most Asians take dates as a serious thing and not like something that is done just for fun.

So how is dating in Asia different from the rest of the world?

Involvement of elders or parents – Generally Asian parents expect that they will be consulted and involved in their child’s relationships. It is quite common for elders, parents and grandparents to set up their children or grandchildren on dates with proper suitable matches. The child too counts on the parent’s verdict and approval before taking the relationship to the next level. Continuing a relationship without the elder’s blessings is difficult. This is because in Asian culture, older people and ancestors are thought of with respect and it is important that the younger generation respect them wholeheartedly. This respect can be in the form of agreeing to what the elders say for marriage. As such, if you date an Asian person you need to win their parents hearts as well.

Dating after school –

In Asia, proper dating begins after the person has completed college. The college entrance examinations are quite rigorous, and dating isn’t tolerated among school students. People who are still studying have a lot of work to do and don’t have enough time to date. But that doesn’t mean no one has secret crushes or secret relationships. Some do manage a relationship as well, but most don’t have any while they are in school. Whereas in other countries like the USA many people have relationships while they are in high school and college. In fact, it is considered normal.

Pragmatic –

Many Asian people look at dating as a pragmatic experience, much more than any westerners. It’s more about finding the right partner who matches in values and not much about finding love. If a man owns a house and a car, it means, he has a good, stable job and can provide for his family. So, the chances of him getting married or finding a “date” are much easier. The whole point is, dating in Asia may not always be about finding love, it is focused on finding a future partner.

Marriage –

Asian dating has one ultimate goal – marriage. Young people are often put under pressure to get married soon and this is faced especially by Asian brides as they become “left-over” after a certain age. Being left-over means no one chose them when they were in their prime or they didn’t find anybody for marriage and now they are too old and alone because no one wanted them. No one wants to be in that category and hence people take dating seriously and try to find a potential spouse fast.

Expectations –

Asian dating is different from western dating. In the west, two people who are dating can have separate lives and different social circles. But that doesn’t apply in Asia. If two people are serious then they will have a common circle and closely connected lives.

Sex –

Like many Asian countries, sex outside marriage or before marriage is considered much more seriously in Asia than in western countries although attitudes are changing, many women still see sex as a symbol saying that the relationship is going towards marriage. Even most Asian men say that they prefer women who haven’t had premarital sex.

Dating in the United States is quite casual and has low commitment. Many dates just for fun. But that isn’t the case in Asia. It is ok for two people to allow each other to look at their phones after a few dates, whereas this is unacceptable In the USA. Marriage is brought up on the first date itself in Asia, but the same doesn’t happen in the USA. Men still foot the bill in Asia and are expected to give gifts to the woman they are with.

The dating scene in Asia and for Asian people is changing. In fact, now more than 40% Asians who are living abroad believe that it is completely fine to date more than one person at a time before deciding on one person for a relationship. Although times and thoughts processes are changing, Asia is still traditional in many ways.

Which Martial Art is Best For Your Child?

Are you planning to take martial arts classes? It can be a great idea because physical activity can improve your physical and mental health. You might be getting a little confused by the options available. There are many forms of martial arts, and each one has its own pros and cons. 

To get you started, here are a few disciplines that you can opt for. The final selection will depend on your personality and goals.

Judo

Kano Jigoro, the Founder of Judo, came up with this fighting technique after having to deal with some bullies. This technique teaches students to use the attacker’s force against them.

Judo emphasizes throwing the opponent. The practitioner or Judoka makes use of a superior position and submission styled attacks. These include chokeholds or locks.

Judo focuses on using the attacker’s energy against the attacker. This martial art is best suited for people who are more defensive in nature. It does not demand too much strength as it is based on grappling and throwing.

Taekwondo

Taekwondo is a Korean martial arts technique. It is known for its swift hand blows and powerful kicks. Integrity, self-control, respect, perseverance, and courage are the tenets of taekwondo.

Taekwondo encourages students to live by these tenants. Are you looking for a technique that uses a lot of kicks? Do you have a competitive nature? If yes, then you can opt for this martial arts discipline. 

Krav Maga

Developed in the mid-late 1930s, Krav Maga has Israeli origins as it was developed mainly for the defense forces. The nature of this martial art is efficient and aggressive. Krav Maga is a vicious fighting technique with no limitations or rules. It teaches students to focus on vital areas to be able to incapacitate opponents. It is efficient and quick.

Do you feel vulnerable out on the streets? Krav Maga is best suited for street survival. It is made for people with an aggressive nature and who expect to get in a fight. 

Aikido

Created by Morihei Ueshiba, Aikido came into being in the early 1900s. Like Judo, Aikido also relies on using an attacker’s energy against them, mainly by holding and throwing techniques. The difference between the two is that Aikido focuses on using a flow against the attackers. It focuses on spirituality on having both body and mind work together.

Aikido is less of combative martial art. It does not demand much strength or attacking abilities. It can be a great option for women. Another good thing about Aikido is that it focuses on the inner calm as training is more or less like meditation.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Founded in the early 1900s, it is also known as the gentle art. This art emphasizes groundwork and throws. It teaches the students to avoid getting into submission and make their opponents tap out. 

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu helps students in developing patience, decision making, and problem-solving skills. This discipline is best if you are looking to become mentally strong. It will help you against stronger & bigger opponents by using technique and leveraging.

Kung Fu (AKA Wushu)

Kung Fu is a Chinese martial art and is one of the oldest disciplines in martial arts history. Mastering Kung Fu requires a lot of hard work. It focuses on balance, concentration, and relaxation techniques. It is made for close-quarters combat against the opponent.

Unlike Judo, you will move forward and try to strike instead of waiting for them to come at you. This martial art focuses mostly on upper body movement.

Kung Fu is for people with strong and fast reflexes. Kung Fu emphasizes using different parts of the body to attack the opponents. It is renowned for its flowing form.

These are not the only forms. There are more than 100 forms and styles of martial arts, and you can choose one based on the available classes or training centers near your home (since different styles are popular in different parts of the world). The good thing about all of these forms is that it will improve your physical fitness because all of them will involve a lot of physical activity. And martial art is better than simply running or jogging because you will learn a new skill and mental strength along with the exercise you get.

5 Signs It’s Time to Let Go of a Relationship

5 Signs It’s Time to Let Go of a Relationship

I’ll be the first one to admit that I have trouble letting go when it comes to relationships. I do not have a quitting personality and I think that many times I will continue things that are dead simply out of not giving up. I believe as humans people will stay with what they know and what is familiar even if it is toxic or no longer serving them. 

Through numerous relationships in my early twenties, I continued this pattern of not quitting simply because I had already invested so much of my time, energy, and efforts into these people. If you are unsure of how or when to let go, then here are some signs to look for when the relationship is over. 

1. Lack of communication

Communication is everything in a relationship. Couples with strong communication skills are usually able to work things out because they are willing to listen to each other. It’s one thing for your partner to be lacking communication skills and not understand where you or coming from.  It’s a whole other thing for them to be willing to not even try to understand your point of view or communicate with you.

2. They stop taking initiative

Are you the one who’s constantly planning date nights, trips, or even time to hang out at their place? Are you constantly the one who’s taking the lead in decisions and even texting first simply to say ‘good morning’ then it’s time to let go. A relationship involves two people and you deserve equal initiative.

3. You feel stuck

This is a sure sign to know when to let go of a relationship. If the relationship begins to feel more like an obligation than a commitment then it’s time to let go. Sure, you may care about this person, but it’s really not fair to them or to you to be in a relationship that feels more like a chore than a commitment. You deserve better and so do they. 

4. The spark is gone

Some would say passion is overrated, and to an extent, I would agree. However, everyone starts with a spark in a relationship. It’s necessary to find ways to keep that passion and romance alive, especially if you’re in a long-term relationship. If your partner isn’t even trying to be passionate, loving, or affectionate towards you then it’s probably time to let go.  You deserve to feel wanted and so do they. Let it go. 

5. They stop saying ‘I love you’

Most people I know don’t say ‘I love you’ for the first time lightly.  There’s always the fear that the other person won’t say it back or feel the same way.  Once couples have reached this stage though, there’s a level of mutual trust and understanding that you both feel the same way.  Once your partner stops saying it though, know that it’s not for nothing. They probably don’t feel comfortable saying it because that’s no longer how they feel. Then it simply becomes awkward being the person in the relationship that always says it first.  I know this is a hard truth to hear, but you need someone who actually reminds you that they do love you. Let it go.

Wrapping up!

If any of these signs are evident in your relationship then it’s probably time to let it go.  I’ve learned a lot through past relationships, but most recently I’ve learned that I’d rather be alone and on my own than feel alone in a relationship with someone who I really cared about. There’s always something else waiting for you on the other side. It’s time to let it go. 

Are You Jealous? Where does Jealousy Come From?

Are You Jealous? Where does Jealousy Come From?

Why do we get jealous of the people who are doing better than us? Have you ever felt this – a feeling of jealousy with dear ones?

What is Jealousy?

Jealousy is a mental state of mind. Where a person forgets who they are, walks away from reality, and barely can’t differentiate between good or bad. If you find yourself always wondering why I am so jealous, it is time to face the real issue.

Jealousy can ruin one’s relationship, sabotage inner-self, and exhaust mental peace. It’s a sweet poison which people drink in their daily life to survive- whether in an office or home. 

Where does jealousy come from?

Jealousy is like a seed; the more progress you make, the better achievements you get; the more people get envious of you. Once the seed of jealousy gets planted in mind, even the smallest comment becomes the reason for the irrational thought process. 

Anger, strange thoughts start blooming in one’s mind, and often it takes control over happiness. During jealousy, people start associating themselves with other people regarding wealth, persona, character, goals, dreams, in everything.

Jealousy is a threat, and with time it grows only; the anxiety of chasing others, feeling unworthy of love can make one hyper-aware of anything that could sabotage their well-being. However, it isn’t easy to nail down the source of jealousy when it is taking over.

Why am I so jealous?

If you find yourself most of the time scrolling other’s Instagram feeds, monitoring what your friends are doing, and finding it troublesome to trust a new person, certainly, you have become an over jealous person. 

Let’s identify the signs which make you jealous. Maybe it can help you face the cause head-on and get over those doubtful feelings.

Your Past: 

The chances can be that your past relationship ended devastatingly, and you have become your biggest aggressor when feeling jealous. As per the research, those who went through a bad or toxic relationship face trust issues when encountering new people. These are the people who built a protective shield around them and didn’t let anyone enter their premises to hurt them again. They act irrationally because these people are dead-set on securing what they have.

So, if you are one of them to whom past relationship bothers, communicate to your partner. Let them know what’s worrying you and what you’ve been through in the past. Your better half will respect and understand your past fears with your ex helps to ease your jealousy. 

Your Insecurity:

You feel insecure when you see your favorite person hanging around with someone else, and that turns into jealousy. It boosts your ego and, deep down, shallows your feelings. 

Broken Trust:

You have a bad past; perhaps somebody has lied or cheated on you, and now rebuilding trust has become challenging. You don’t want the things to hurt you again; that’s why you try to maintain a distance with the people, whether in the workplace, home, or relationship. Even if the person has given you no substantiated reason to be jealous, once the trust is broken, jealousy sneaks through all those cracks.

Self-destructions:

When we are on the mission of protecting ourselves from getting hurt, we often self-sabotage. We wish to end things earlier before they start hurting us. We start pushing ourselves away from the dear one before they push away. This can be brought on by fear, low self-esteem, and a variety of things.

Fear:

The primary cause of jealousy is FEAR. We all have a fear of losing something special, a fear of getting heartbroken, fear of pain, and fear of living alone is so sturdy, it can negate everything you do.

The feeling of fear is nothing less than paralyzing, and when it shows through jealousy, it becomes very ugly. Just letting go of the feelings of fear can take some weight away.

Wrapping up!

Never let jealousy control your mind. If you feel jealous of people, disconnect yourself from those characters for a while, or stop stalking them on social media. Join meditation classes to calm your inner peace. Slowly you will discover a new version of yourself, with no more hatred and only love.

How to Have a Stress-Free Divorce

Dealing with a divorce is never easy, but it’s particularly difficult if you’re trying to get out of a marriage that’s simply bad.

Spending your time in a toxic relationship is one of the worst things in the world, and getting out of it is the only way to save yourself. That’s why going through a divorce is definitely the only thing you need to do, but only if you keep this process as simple and stress-free as possible.

Doing that might not be easy, yet if you put your mind to it and focus on the positive sides of this process, you could make it work for you.

So, if you too are looking for a stress-free divorce, here are a few ways to make that happen. 

1. Make your peace

Going through a divorce is hard for anyone, even people who aren’t happy in their marriages. This is essentially an end of an era and a process that’s challenging and difficult no matter what. That’s why being absolutely sure this is the right thing to do is the first step in the process. Making your peace with the fact that you’re going to be a divorced person is never easy, so do that as soon as you can, and the rest of your divorce will be much smoother.

The way to do this is quite simple – focus on yourself! People who want a divorce are usually unhappy and do certain things just to make their spouse feel good, ignoring themselves along the way. That’s why you need to refocus all your attention on your own happiness and try to feel as good as you can.

Finding inner peace might take some time, but be sure to go through that process anyway, and you’ll be happier and feel better after doing that.

2. Think about your kids

The entire divorce process can actually be easy, but only if you’re one of those people who don’t have kids. If that’s the case, you and your spouse can separate quite easily and never talk to each other again – and that’s probably a scenario both of you are going to prefer. But, if you have children, everything changes because kids make everything harder and more complicated, both emotionally and logistically.

Again, you need to think about your kids and how they feel. Instead of dragging them through your divorce, you should try to keep them out of it and spare their feelings. These things can leave a lasting impression on their psyche and scar them for life, and that’s something you should never do.

Talk to them, tell them what’s going on, and make sure they know you and your spouse still love them even though you don’t want to be married anymore. 

3. Get a good attorney

Having an attorney is a must when dealing with a divorce, especially since you shouldn’t have to do everything on your own. Having someone by your side and being able to rely on a professional is a must when trying to keep things cool and stress-free, so finding the right attorney is quite crucial. However, this might not always be that easy.

What you need to do is get an attorney who knows what to do and who can prepare the best case for you. This isn’t always easy, but it’s manageable, so be sure to start searching right now.

Luckily, the world is full of amazing attorneys, whether you’re looking for a divorce attorney or professionals in family law, you’ll be able to find people you can trust. Keep in mind that you should talk to potential attorneys before hiring them, just to make sure they’re the perfect people for your case.

4. Think about the next step

Moving on with your life after a divorce is probably just as hard as going through this exhausting process. Making the next move and starting fresh is much harder at the age of 30, 40, or 50 than when you were 20, but don’t trust anybody telling you it’s impossible. It’s all about making a proper plan and knowing what you want to do with your life.

What most people do is try to reinvent themselves as quickly and successfully as they can. They focus on new hobbies, make new friends, travel to new places, and embrace new roles in their lives. This is what you should do as well, but be sure to spend some time mourning first and working through your feelings. These things sound quite simple and easy, but thinking about the future is the best way to keep calm before your divorce is final.

Most people think that having a stress-free divorce is impossible, but if you follow these simple tips, it’s doable. Instead of focusing on your hate towards your spouse, focus on yourself, your kids, and your future, and everything will be much better!
