I LIKE it when I do not make commitments or become sexual early in a dating relationship.
I LIKE asking close friends for feedback to see if I am being "realistic" about a new dating relationship.
I LIKE having a daily commitment to looking my best and working at being healthy. (Studies show this increases my chances for dating success dramatically).
I LIKE keeping the focus on the other person and asking lots of questions in a new dating relationship.
I LIKE having a written list of exactly what I am looking for in a potential mate and finding if they have them as quickly as possible.
I LIKE taking frequent breaks from dating to take care of myself and "recharge my batteries".
I LIKE taking the time to review my goals for dating by asking myself where do I want to be in a year or two.
I LIKE to remind myself daily that frequent dating increases my chances of finding life long friendship even if platonic.
I LIKE it when I keep am able to keep my conversations fairly lighthearted and humerous during first dates.

I LIKE reminding myself that even if hurt by a prior relationship I need to allow further disappointment until I succeed.
I LIKE reminding myself that even if a new relationship does not lead to partnership it may still be an opportunity to make a new friend for life.
