Many times, there is no definitive plan or at best,
the plan is usually very vague. For some, it's the
best way, and it often works for them.

If, however, you want to take a different approach
to your relationship, that is, you want to approach a
new relationship with a clear plan and bright
picture of your end goal, here are the things you
have to know and be prepared to do.

1. Set standards, don't compromise on the core of
them••

You will never know what to expect from someone
when you do not even know what you want.

So, it is never wrong to set realistic standards but
you should also learn and be ready to stick with
your requirements.
If at all you have to compromise, let your
compromise not be on the things you regard as
fundamental.

For instance, if you have the requirement of
wanting someone with a job and earning a certain
annual/monthly income, it is logical to bend a little
if you meet someone great but earns a little below
your desired wage range.

However, it won't make much sense if you actually
decide to date someone who has no job at all and
seemingly has no interest in getting one.
Never sell yourself short on what you truly are
worthy of.

2. Stop aiming to impress••

For those willing to just chill with no particular end
expected, it might be OK to be all about being fake
and making impressions.
If you are interested in dating with intention,
though, you need to be more than that.

Be yourself to the fullest, let the person see you as
you are, their willingness to stick with you as you
are is exactly what you need, so let them see the
real you, so they can quickly decide if they want to
stay or go.

3. Never forget it's a process••

You have an idea of where you want the
relationship to be at some particular time,
nevertheless, you should not forget that it is all a
process.

As much as every step is measured and part of a
plan, you should still not lose sight of the fact that it
is meant to be a process.

The difference here is just that you are not leaving
matters in the hands of fate.
You are in charge of your relationship and you
dictate what happens all the way.
