Really insightful and in the last year Ive been monitoring my own reactions and asking myself "what is it about this guy that just pushes my buttons?" It really helps increase your self-awareness as well as guide as to what things you need to work out on your own. I learned a lot!

"I see so many women get flustered and frustrated and negative with dating"
Hell yeah I get frustrated cause I keep running into jerks! Any tips on fighting back the frustration? And please don't say self-affirmation...

I heard a good quote recently "Give people enough time and they always surprise you."

The beauty of being more patient and compassionate with people is that you will start to be easier on yourself.

If you judge people a lot, you assume they are judging you. As you get kinder, the world gets kinder.....way easier than hitting the gym.

I've always felt that one of the problems with on-line dating is that we are seduced by the shear numbers available. It's not just women who make snap decisions, I've done it too. Knowing we can search and find more candidates perhaps makes it tempting to move on to the next one, rather than invest any time in a situation after the slightest discomfort.

As for me, the greatest on-line dating experience I've had came after an initial disappointment. Physically she wasn't what I was looking for, but I'd promised myself I'd spend a couple of hours on our first `coffee date'.

We ending up spending the next 30 hours together, in bliss, and went on to have a beautiful relationship for over a year.

I miss her to this day.

Hey Daniel my name is James and I just read your article on being more patient and I thought it was great. There was really good tips in there. My favorite part was when you wrote Oh Snap no he didn't I laughed out loud it so funny. I'm totally going to read your other articles. Thanks for brightening my day.

Okay.... I will try to be more patient and stop jumping to the wrong conclusion, thanks...
