How to get what you want in a relationship is a common enough question. Many people have trouble finding a relationship that suits them, and the main reason is because they aren’t quite sure what they want.

Perhaps you tend to always date the same sort of guys, and it never seems to work out? Maybe you enjoy being with your boyfriend, but you feel like you need something more serious, and he just wants to have fun? Perhaps you want to travel the world for the next few years, but your partner wants the two of you to settle down and buy a house together?

Deciding what you actually want from a relationship is the first step towards getting it.

 

Step 1. Write down exactly what you are looking for. Be as specific as you can. It’s not much use just to write: “I want to be happy”.  It’s better to write something like “I want to meet a guy who is considerate, likes spending time with me, wants children within the next few years, respects me, and has some of the same interests”. The clearer you can make your thoughts and desires, the more likely it is that you will get what you’re after.

 

Step 2. Decide how you are going to find what you are looking for.

If you are looking for someone who shares similar interests, try and get involved in a social group on that subject. Do you paint watercolour? Do you like creative writing? Do you spend a lot of time at the gym working out? Do you love to cook? If you can meet up with some like-minded people, then you are one step closer to finding what you want.

If you are in a relationship that doesn’t match what you want, then its time to decide if there’s a way that it can be improved. If you want a relationship where you spend every night together, but your partner only wants to get together on weekends, then discuss the situation. If you can’t work out something that suits you both, then the relationship probably isn’t all that it needs to me.

 

Step 3. Don’t give up! This is probably the most challenging step of all. From time to time we have all felt that we will never find the love of our life. We have all thought “Well, maybe what I want isn’t even out there, and I should settle for something else”. Don’t listen to such thoughts!
