Letting go of looking for love will give you your life back.

2. you’re able to focus on yourself.

It sounds like a cliche, I know.

For many of us, dating means putting ourselves on hold.

As a result, we sometimes lose ourselves in the process.

We might neglect work or family or our dog, all in the pursuit of love.

3. you’re free to think more about what you want in a person.

Imagine if you met a person out there in the world through a friend or at a bar.

Make a list of what you want and of how your perfect person would make you feel.

4. you’re able to get used to alone time.

People HATE it when I say this but I do think that its really important.

She learned that being alone allowed her to truly be herself and to do what she wanted to do.

There was no one to take care of or compromise with it was her way, always.

And she liked that.

Guys she really liked.

And guys who had to prove themselves to be allowed into her space.

So, take some time getting to know yourself and spending time alone.

You will be glad you did.

Love will find you.

This is true with love as well.

We often pursue love like we train for a marathon or push to get ahead in our career.

But love isnt found like that.

The search for love is a marathon and not a sprint.

Letting go of looking for love doesnt have to be forever.

So, take a moment.

Step back from your pursuit of love.

You will find them someday I promise.
