The third step is turning your will and you live over to the care of God. God wants us to date, but not just to get out of the house, to marry. Going slow and keeping an eye on your fantasies is imperative. Remind yourself daily that these fantasies have a hold on you and they are really projections of your childhood dreams.
Be yourself so he will fall in love with the real you. Pay attention to his shadow. Notice how he treats others. That is how he will eventually treat you. Look for honesty and compatibility. If you do not get along, leave even if you are already infatuated. I
t does not matter where you meet someone one if you are honest with yourself and set boundaries. Test him now and then. Look for changes in personality after a few dates. You are interviewing him for the important role of being your partner. Do not settle for too little, and do not ask for too much.
Keep in touch with me when you start dating. If you can afford me being your life coach I could use the money for my new non-profit. Take care.

Recovering love addicts have to be careful when dating. They are often ambivalent because they have been hurt so much in the past. Here are some guidelines to tell if someone is right for you. Make sexual attraction less important that compatibility, but don't leave it out altogether. Go slowly. Ask God for his opinion. He may surprise you like he did with my husband Frank. He was not the man of my dreams at first but then he turned out to be the best man I ever knew. Make sure he is being his real self and not just trying to impress you. Tell us about him and we will help you. Dating guidelines . . . loveaddictsanonymous.boards.net/board/240/dating-recovery
