If there is something that is so common with most human beings, it is the fact that mistakes have been committed in our love lives and even in the course of our dating. In fact, most of these mistakes and errors of judgment that one made always torture their psychology.

Most regrets go back along way in our earlier relationships, such as the case of lost chances with ones former college 1st love, or even the childhood sweetheart with whom one shared some years while growing up. This could have been a result of the belief that there are always lots of ready fish around thus there is no hurry in settling down. Many of the people with these sentiments think about their love life and dating relationships and conclude that what they have now is the second best, and that they committed a grave mistake earlier on. This is quite serious as most of the time, one will only be thinking about the first love, something that is so unfair to the current date.

The dating of some people for some wrong reasons has always led to a disaster within the relationship. There has existed some people who wield luck and they have been able to evade these disasters, but for most folks, it has been a bitter reality. Some individuals have been dating for physical beauty and general body attraction, business contracts, business reasons, sex, while others will do it as a result of sympathy. The catch here is to date a person that you like because of such reasons as a great personality as well as the fact that they have some values that are so common to you as to form the best match. Do not delve into a relationship where things will have problems with working out since you will be wasting your time. There are so many people in your life and surrounding, waiting, as you waste your time following the wrong person.

Another dating related regret that many people have is failing to take the offer for a date when it was there. The ‘what if’ questions will also be there and it should not affect ones judgment and decision. Imagine all those girls who turned the offer of a young Bill Gates down. Give the individual a chance and go for that date, it does not hurt anybody when you enjoy a dinner, coffee or just some time with a person, it can turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Another sure regret is dating a stranger’s wife or husband. Anytime you happen to date a married individual, there will always be disasters in the offing. From the onset, the dating relationship is mired by cheating, lies and explicit deceit. Your psychology is on the line here as every time you meet, you will be seeing the face of another human being’s soul mate and a portrait of a person who is already taken. The dating period or the precarious relationship has no breathe of life or a dose of fun. It is very stressing and fills you with doubts most of the time.

The sensation of touch is one of the clearest manifestations of the people around us, and the height of activity while dating. The sense of touch bridges the gap that exists between friends, suitors and lovers. Where words fail touch does the rest. Touch may therefore acts as a non verbal form of communication. It is as instrumental to us as the human race as language is. A perfect way of showing a sense of tenderness towards those we care most about is touching.

Stress is relieved through touch. When we are emotionally strained, an unexpected touch does the magic although the first impulse is often to see it as distraction and perpetuation of our troubles. There is no other perfect way of showing intimacy than through physical contact, more so those we are dating or seeing. There are also some ways of touch which are honestly annoying and embarrassing.

Greetings are the most common type of touch. There are conventions set by different communities on how different age groups should greet their colleagues as well as that of other age brackets. When a woman puts her hands around her husband in an embrace, the calming effect which they both experience goes a long way in solidifying their relationship.

Small children look forward to the evenings when dad and mum always bring home the unforgettable kiss. Such actions are the building blocks of fond childhood memories. For people who have just started dating, it magnetically joins them and makes two individuals to be one. We can no doubt agree that the well executed touch will have a therapeutic effect on the participants. It is a demonstration of the fondness with which our friends, lovers, family members and colleagues regard us.

As a single person, you may think that you don’t need the hug from your close lady friend. The truth is that this is the first thing that you should be after. Every time you feel that you are too far away from everybody else, and dating has been shelved for some time, this is the natural reaction to the lack of physical contact with the people around you. We all live in constant fear of being isolated. This tickles into action. If you are in an office and no one has knocked on your door, you feel an innate urge to go out there and find out if everything is fine. This is not entirely why we want to look out of the window. We also want to if there is a new friend we can shake hands with or a beautiful girl we can shake hands with and seduce.

Dating lovers hold hands in order to feel close to each other as well as make a statement to the world. The familiar touch of the barber has a soothing effect on our nerves. It is like a kind of a massage. This reminds one of the massage businesses which are now one of the most popular businesses. Where massaging businesses have not been able to catch up with growing customer needs, people rush to the bathrooms during the lunch break and enjoy the feel of cold water constantly hitting their bodies. From dating to marriage relationships, the enjoyment seems to come from the union of the sense that the other person provides.
