“People, depending on their goals, lie about the size of their lovers all the time,” says Rachel DeAlto, an interpersonal specialist and author of Flirting Without Fear. - “A typical example: a man who wants to show himself as a “stallion” exaggerates the number of partners, and a woman, so as not to seem like a whore, understates. Society has always tacitly encouraged this lie.”
Question: What is the way to inform a person about their feelings to them immediately after breaking with someone other?
“None of us want just to fill a temporary gap in someone’s relationship,” says psychologist Laurel House.- “To make it clear to someone that you are interested in him under such circumstances, you should act with a fair amount of diplomacy. Ask how the person is doing, hint that you are there to cheer him up. Be tactful when flirting so that it doesn’t look like pressure.”
Rachel DeAlto advises: “Suggesting to meet a person immediately after his separation from another is possible only on the condition that it is not a disaster for him. No one wants to enter into a relationship with someone who is emotionally unstable after a breakup. To survive it, some will need a day, others - a year. Start as friends, hang out together, and then see if it’s worth moving on to something bigger.”
Dating consultant Bela Gandhi notes: “There are many people who enjoy being in a relationship and don’t want to be alone for long. If you like just such a person, then his separation from the previous partner will be an excellent condition to take an empty seat.”
Question: Why do women attack other ladies regarding their appearance with harmful remarks and hits?
As a rule, women do this for two reasons: self-doubt and envy (jealousy). The object of their caustic nagging does not necessarily become too thin or overweight, very tall or short girls. You can find flaws to ridicule them with anyone. Julie Spira, dating consultant and author of The Dangers of Cyber-Dating, says: “This behavior is evidence of their own complexes. In this way, they convince themselves that their position and appearance are superior to anyone.”
When people feel comfortable and confidently accept themselves as they are, they are much less likely to judge others and are less likely to be attacked themselves. If someone finds fault with you and thereby tries to humiliate you, know that this is not something wrong with you, but with them.
Question: Why does the young person I meet react too severely to our friendship with another boy?
“Everyone experiences the power of jealousy differently,” says Bela Gandhi, - “Maybe your boyfriend is just jealous. Then he will be suspicious of all men with whom you will communicate often. Or it seems to him that you and your friend are not in a very platonic relationship, and one of the parties is experiencing sexual attraction. Provided that you and your friend have an extremely companionable relationship, try to spend time with the three from time to time, visiting different places. This can ease your boyfriend’s anxiety and make sure there is no reason for jealousy.”
Question: Why do women quickly find some guys boring?
“Often, a girl begins to consider a man boring, not because he really is, but because he does not show how interesting. Maybe you are trying to match some ideal, from your perspective, image and trying to look cool, calm, or too fun. But this is not your real self, but this is really boring and easily forgotten.” - Laurel House
Laurel House also notes that there is another possible reason: the lack of interpersonal chemistry, the feeling that creates excitement and attraction between two people. This chemistry is not subject to our desires, but it is not the purpose of dating, where we seek attraction and mutual interest.
Bela Gandhi says that guys are really very boring: “They just have to look for a woman who will not consider this quality a disadvantage.” Gandhi also notes that after a long search for a partner and numerous meetings, dating fatigue syndrome can occur, which leads to clichéd conversations and boredom when meeting each new person. “However, there is a separate group of women,” Gandhi continues, “who only feel comfortable in a dysfunctional relationship. For them, any normal guy will seem uninteresting because they are attracted to people who treat them badly. Such women find normalcy and kindness boring, and everyone should stay away from them.”

They look differently at different aspects of the relationship. However, this allows women and men to interact harmoniously and complement each other. This is the value of each person - in the uniqueness! Therefore, you should not try to adjust the soul mate “for yourself.” Enjoy the fact that he is not like the others!
