Seven common dating mistakes

Here are seven common dating mistakes we make brought to you by the author of 'Men are from Mars, women are from Venus' Dr John Gray.

Some of the most common blunders are:
1. Falling in love instantly
2. Mistakenly believing that a person will date with the same enthusiasm as they initially pursued
3. Pursuing more than you're being pursued
4. Not healing from old hurts and carrying this "baggage" into new relationships
5. Expecting that your date will be "different" with you than they were with their ex.
6. Not taking the time to get to honestly know someone BEFORE becoming intimate
7. Skipping dating stages -- going from attraction to intimacy to uncertainty
There are dating skills that can teach you to avoid these common blunders.
Unfortunately, what we see is that, until people learn to master these lessons, often they continue to repeat their patterns.
We understand that "Rome wasn't built in a day" and that it takes time to heal from old hurts and learn a new way to date.

Do you think this is where you might be going wrong or did you manage to avoid these blunders.
Let me know.
