Communication is #1 for any relationship to work.  You can look all over, but love just shows up when you least expect it.

I am recently a single mother, with two kids... I want to find single men too.  I went to bars and did the whole one night stand here and there, but nothing seems right.  I want to find a quality man, quality MEN to date.  But they aren't at bars, or single spots... perhaps match or date.com but that seems like a lot of work to me... \n\nI have always gone with the idea that when we stop looking for someone then that someone comes to us... not sure if you have ever felt this same way... \n\nI know that is hard right now when wanting to meet someone... but it may be true.  not sure.. \n\nI would suggest, just.. and what did they say in that movie "Something New"? Let go.. let love flow or something like that...??? I would suggest open your heart and your mind up to finding someone, or meeting new guys and they will see that you are open to that, and then come to you.... \n\nWhereever you are!! bar, library, grocery store... etc...etc...

Require LOTS of effort and dedication, commitment and trust in you and in the other person. Works? yeah!! hurts? as hell!! do i recomend that? no if you can help it!

Instead of looking for a good guy, let him find you. Do this through volunteering for a local charity or a political campaign. This way you can find someone with similar interests and philosophies. You can also try the internet where you can chat until you feel comfortable enough for a face to face meeting. You can also only answer or ask what you are comfortable asking or answering. That is how I met my fiancee and I wasn't even looking for a relationship at the time.

It sometimes gets discouraging doesn't it?I completely understand what you are saying.\nFor me it has taken realizing that the right person for me is not in my town and most likely not in my state.Opening up to the possibility of the right person being in another state widened the potential matches.\nI guess that is not for everyone,but I did not want to miss out on the right person just because I was stuck on thinking they are near by.\nI wish I had the answers but I don't all I know is sometimes we do need a break to just "be" as the search can be exhausting on soo many levels.\nI know many people will tell you to stop looking and the right person will find you,but what if everyone just sits back and stops looking??LOL I am not sure how that would work then lol\nBottomline you have to do what feels right for you :)

Communication! I have been with the same guy for 7 years and I am just realizing since we moved in together that its one area  we need work in.  Its so important!  Also keep dating each other.  People always seem to get "comfy" in a relationship and it gets boring.  Keep things exciting.

To have a good relationship I believe you should be honest, be truthful, and respectful toward the person you are referring to. These are very important qualities in a relationship. If you are referring to a male/female relationship oh boy you really have to work at it. It is also necessary to compromise in a relationship. It takes a whole lot of that. In other words, every thing is not one persons way all the time. Compromise, remember that ok? \nas u have asked we can't get good relation it is we have to create good relation with others if u be good with others they we be good to u but there are some options cases also so we also think with whom we have to create good relation ok bye \nThe 'how' is a big one. I have been married 2 x and on my 3rd one and I have really learned a lot from this new mate.\n\nWe never put one another down, and if we are upset we let one another know without yelling, or putting the person down. I found this makes a huge, huge difference. The trust has grown. \n\nEach day we both quietly look for something positive to comment on ..... today for instance my partner commented on how thoughtful I was with one of our children. Just a simple comment and it really made me feel good inside. \n\nI have found from experience that just because we are with someone for awhile we don't take advantage of this. It is special to be in a good relationship and well, be thoughtful. Thankful

depends on what your intentions are... if you're looking for long-term, he has to be someone you can and want to trust and has a personality you can find attractive.  it goes much much deeper, but everything else falls into place around that\n\nif you're looking for a short-term relationship, don't keep high standards; just enjoy it while it lasts.

Should'nt have to do much if you's are soul mates. Just be yourself. Be honest and have good communication. Can't keep if they don't want to stay.

Hi, Number one thing to do is stop looking. Number two thing to do is don't rely on an entity to sort out your love life. Rely on your own abilities. But recognising 'non-action' is a key.

Get in touch with what you REALLY want in a relationship.\nWrite on a piece of paper what you desire in a relationship.\nBe reasonalbe, don't look for absolute perfection in another.\n\nKnow yourself, your needs and desires.\nUse the Visioning Process to envision what you want most out of your life.\n\nBe very honest and truthful in your relationships, communicate on a high level and really LISTEN to your partner and what their hopes and needs are. \n\nWork on knowing yourself so that you become as completely self aware as possible.\n\nWhen you discover who you are and what you really want, you will find who and what you really really want.\n\nWhen you find it, you will commit out of joy.\n\nGood Luck.

Get to know each other and take it from there.  And let your heart and feelings guide you in your decisions about your relationship. And be yourself you might as well start now so you don't have to be someone you're not just to make them happy.

well, make friends, know them, understand them. There is never a guarantee that the person u are seeking as partner will turn out to be like the partner you want. But you always must try.

These relationships can work. What's important is that you both understand what each others differences and similarities are and understand each others background, values and beliefs. There must be respect for each other because both of you come different environments which is base on your age. I believe when two people take a chance and get to know each other, they will discover beautiful things about each other. This is true in any relationship. I believe the most important thing in a relationship is taking two people from various backgrounds and the joy is making a relationship work. Remember there much give and take in any relationship.

Being friendly.\n\nFirst try to get some friends with common interests.  Suddenly a date will pop up with no effort.
