There’s no way around it: if you want a successful relationship, you need to learn how to pick a partner.

But when it comes to love… it isn’t difficult to get into a complicated or even hurtful situation.

And it’s no wonder.

Education surrounding relationships is poor at best, so we pursue them while vulnerable and unprepared — mostly facilitated by mutual chemistry without a clue as to its cause.

But as expected, a relationship based on illusion inevitably ends in disillusionment and heartache.

As a reaction to this, we may believe that we can’t trust others, or worse: ourselves. We fear we will fall into the same patterns of pain and confusion, and that it’s all that’s out there for us.

In other cases, we may feel inexperienced and afraid; stepping into a new dimension of life that we feel incompetent to navigate.

Whatever our situation, there lurks uncertainty.

But there is another way to go about this.
