Every woman wants a date with Mr. Right. Right for what? Right for them, of course. Dating has become a quest for finding the Right man, the one who is perfect for you. It doesn’t matter how much you wait, he is out there, somewhere, thinking why he didn’t meet his half so far… wake up! Waiting for Mr. Right is like chasing imaginary unicorns!

If you already have an image on who/how your future partner is going to be, you are heading for a disappointment. It’s not a good idea to set up high standards because no one is ever going to reach them and you are just going to go home at the end of the date thinking that ‘he just wasn’t Mr. Right’. I’m not saying you’re asking for the impossible, but I bet there isn’t a single person out there that would fit to your ideal image of the perfect man: he may have some features, but they are usually combined with other ones that you can’t stand.

If you think I’m not giving your Mr. Right a chance, let’s do an exercise. Take a piece of paper and a pen and describe Mr. Right: put down all his qualities, even his flaws (those which you probably find acceptable or cute), and write whatever important detail you have relating to him. You can even draw his picture if you feel inspired. When you are done, make a fake profile on a free dating site and see how many dates he gets. If you have a comment like ‘you are too good to be true’, then you know where this is going… Try another exercise. Imagine your Mr. Right being the main character in a love story. Is the character reliable? Believable? I doubt it. No one is perfect.

So instead of waiting for Mr. Right, why not settle with Mr. Right Now? It may not be the perfect man you always dreamed of, but he does have certain qualities that fit the profile (this is why you dated him). Don’t miss out on a good relationship just because the man you are dating is not perfect. I know you are a mature person who knows what she want out of life, but standards change all the time. You might wake up one day and realize that you actually had a potential partner that you dismissed for not being ‘Mr. Right’.

You need to understand that Mr. Right belongs to the fantasy world, while Mr. Right Now is actually real. This doesn’t mean you should settle for less, it only means that you should give it a try.

When it comes to new relationships, a big topic is roaming the heads of both individuals; sex. More specifically, new partners are often thinking “when should I have sex with him/her”, as this is very common. Though it may be stereotypical to say, men are often much faster to want sex than the female in the relationship (99% of the time would be a good guess).

As amazing as the relationship may seem after the first few dates, it is too soon for sex. Even if the man is floundering you with compliments and gifts, do not give in. Though some males may actually love you as much as they are expressing, others are doing so with one purpose in their mind; sex.

It is not uncommon for males to act in this way. Statistically, men do crave for sex much more than women. Though, this on one hand is a good thing, as females can see which males really love/like them, and which are just looking for sex. If a man goes on continuous dates without even bringing up sex, this often shows that he really is interested in you and likes you. If the man brings up sex after one or two dates, he is likely only trying to have sex.

Once you are in a relationship, many say, it is never too soon to have sex. This is not true. The beginning of the relationship is usually not the most powerful. Couples must give it time, go out together, and relax, and so on. It is not necessary you have sex so soon. Sex should only happen when both are ready and feel like they really want to express their feelings in that form. Though sex is greatly revolved around pleasure, it also has to do a lot with love (or it should). If you think your partner only wants to have sex for the pleasure, then you really need to reconsider the relationship. The most meaningful and enjoyable sex is that that is out of pure love for one another.

There is no specific time frame that should be laid down for having sex. As said before, sex should come when both are ready for it and feel like they love each other enough to take part in intercourse. If two are only having sex because they think it is necessary, this is wrong. In such a situation, the sex will not be as good, and not have as much meaning as it would if it was being done out of passion and love.

There is a myth that says it is best to have sex after the second date. This is much too soon, and by the second date, it is normal to be getting into more personal details of each others lives. Sex should be the very last priority at that instance, and the two should concentrate on getting to know each other.
