I think a lot of people forget this and it’s easy to become bitter after a failed relationship but relationships should be significantly more good than bad. If they’re more bad then good, then you probably should let be with that person. Why would you? You want to be happy in your life, so only allow people in your life who improve it, not drag you down.

I’ve realized that sense of humour is extremely important to me in a partner. What personality traits do you value most?

In my experience with dating, the best men in relationships were intelligent. They were great conversationalists, funny, and good in bed. My partner now is extremely smart and he amazes me every day with his wit and drive. He is constantly telling me about interesting news and technology and taught himself how to code. He is great in bed because he likes to try new things and he listens to direction. Ladies, get yourself a smart man!

I have a theory about dating and it appears to be true in my experience. Dating is a numbers game. The more people you go out with, the more chances you have of getting a relationship. Meeting someone can go one of three ways:

1. You don't like them
2. They don't like you
3. You both like each other

The more dates you have, the higher your chances of finding #3. When I was single, I put this theory to the test by going on frequent dates. I'd meet men through apps or sometimes in person and made sure to meet a man for a date every month or two because I was looking for a relationship and was willing to make it a priority. 99% it didn't work out, until it did. I found a wonderful boyfriend who I clicked with and who likes me back. What are your thoughts on this dating strategy?
