It is an interesting exercise to consider how certain hobbies reveal particular traits in participants –
if you look at someone sporty as a potential romantic partner for instance, this is what you might find:
1 Good timekeeping – you can neither be late for a round of golf, a tennis match nor a date
2 Consistency – giving up is never a good look when playing a game or in life
3 Commitment – Sporty people know it takes dedication and practice to improve their game. They absorb mistakes and they don’t dwell. As with sport, so it can be with love
4 Patience – They don’t judge you on one performance, they wait for the bigger picture to emerge. They possess the skills to be both great partners and parents.
5 Sporting Attitude – it’s not the winning, it’s the taking part……the winning is the icing on the cake, of course but the capacity to take joy from participating shows generosity of spirit and a willingness to see things through, which are great partner qualities, especially when times are tough.
Some Thoughts On Looks
Physical looks, sadly, fade with time. Real beauty comes from within, so if you have found yourself dating people who turn out to lack depth or the ability to withstand the strains that life places on romantic relationships, you would do well to reconsider your strategy and be open to looking outside your boundaries, which after all are only the limitations you have placed upon yourself.
To do this:
A Review your current modus operandi and identify who you are drawn to – their lifestyle, interests and profession will tell you a lot about their character. This will tell you where you are now.
B Ask yourself about other qualities you would like in a potential partner.
C Notice these other qualities in people you meet, without judgment or expectation. Absorb what you discover.
Now you know the kind of person who could make you happy, you can start that final search.
Good luck!
