GREAT
EXPECTATION: What Do I Expect From Relationship

I once was lost,
but now I’m found! “I have ABSOLUTELY NO expectations about life and
relationships!” Yeah, right, tell me something that I really can accomplish in
this life time!
We all have
expectations about relationships. Don’t tell me you think you don’t. We all go
past GO directly to our primary desire: I want someone to keep me company; I
want a sexual relationship, I want an intimate, monogamous relationship, a want
a once a week date; or I want a fling. Pick one! It doesn’t matter which you
pick, you still end up with expectations. The trick to life and relationship is
to find someone who wants exactly (or nearly) what you want. And how, pray
tell, do I make that happen, with a magic wand?
Well, it’s much
easier than magic, these days. In the olden days, when I was just a pup, you
actually had to meet someone in person and figure out if you had the same idea
about relationships. Now, in the present Internet Dating era, all you have to
do is type out what you want “once,” and, hopefully, the people reading your
profile will be able to understand what you wrote. Trust me, though,
comprehension may even be a stretch sometimes. I remember a few instances I
have written in an online profile, “I am only interested in someone who is
ready for relationship!!!” Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation
point.
So, the first few
responses were: “Do you want to hook up?” “Send me a naked picture!” “How big
is your… ?” The last response is the most annoying, especially when you are
talking about seriously being interested in love. Who really cares how big it
is?
I ingenuously
wrote back to all annoying comments, “Can you read?”
Online dating may
be one of the few options that actually brings results these days, though, for
me, it has brought one- to two-year relationships that have ended either
abruptly or without answers. Should I begin to think, as most of my friends,
that having a lot of good friends and an occasional sexual partner is about the
best that this dating scene gets?
I’m actually
visiting a friend with a 23-year-old son who is seriously considering marriage.
His ideas about love and romance are so grandiose. When his father and I have
been in and out of relationships far too many times to count, the juxtaposition
is incredible. I want to tell him that I hope and pray his relationship will be
everything he dreams it will be. Maybe it will. But, being on my side of the life-coaching couch, I hear far
too many stories of misbegotten dreams and ill-gotten relationships to think
that there is any reality in happily ever after.
Yet, I have to
tell you, I still dream of meeting that one person who changes all my pessimism
to an optimistic believer in love and romance. If you are one of those people
who really wants to find love, but has been completely remiss in finding it,
cheer up. You are in the company of millions of intelligent and wonderful
people who just can’t seem to find the right person.
For women, I
wrote a book called: Your Gay Friend’s Guide to Understanding Men, all about
finding a straight guy. For anyone, though, finding love is mostly about Finding
Authentic You, which is the name of my new book and self guide, meant to
help you uncover the most distinct you, unlock all of your negative thinking,
and help you replace it with positive, creative thought using many different
modalities, including hypnosis, prayer, and psychology. Once you know yourself, then
relationship is a fairly easy task.
