Used with author's permission.&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!-- AdCentsPro --&amp;gt;   &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A friend of mine recently exclaimed, Dating is so complicated!  I thought about it for a moment and realized, No its not!  Its actually very simple if you follow two principles that will solve 90% of your romantic issues.  Lets begin.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You meet someone.  Youre attracted to them.  Theyre attracted to you.  You start dating.  Now, I know its not always that simple.  You may be interested in someone that initially isnt as interested or vice versa.  Maybe youre already in a relationship and someone else piques your interest or you like someone that is already committed.  How you arrive at dating someone doesnt really matter, as long as youre both attracted and available.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;As I said, you start dating.  Here are the two things you must keep in mind:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If:  Youre happy, the other person treats you well and your life is better as a result of that person being in it, you stay.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You must have all three.  Theres not point in being with someone that treats you well and makes your life better, but for one reason or another youre unhappy (probably because youre not compatible).  On the other hand:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If:  Youre not happy or the other person doesnt treat you well or your life is not better as a result of that person being in it, you leave.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You only need one of these to be present.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Youre probably saying to yourself, Yes, thats obvious.   If its so obvious, then why are there so many bad relationships?   Think back to your last liason or even to a present one.  How many times have you stayed with someone you werent happy with?   Or, what about the people that didnt treat you well but you stayed anyway?  Why does that happen?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;I believe that all too often people hand their self worth and self esteem over to their romantic partner.  They feel that if someone loves (and I use that term loosely) them, that they are worthwhile.  If they dont have someone in their lives, then they assume theyre not.  You may have heard the old saying:  Youre nobody till somebody loves you.  Yukk!  Please dont ever believe that.  How a person treats you speaks to who they are  never to who you are.  Let me prove this to you using an extreme example.  Lets say youre dating someone whos physically abusive.  They say, You make me so mad!  You make me want to hit you.  Now, if this were true, that would mean that everyone you dated would hit you when they became angry.  Of course we know this doesnt happen.  Someone else may choose to walk away or to talk to you.   You cannot change how a person behaves.  If you dont believe me, think about the times you tried to change yourself.  How easy was it?  Exactly!&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The other excuse for staying with someone that youre not happy with is because you think the situation will get better.  Hope is always the last to die and the person that is nice to you once in a while, keeps you hanging on.  How much time are you willing to waste in a bad relationship?  Time is a non renewable resource.   Once its gone, its never coming back.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If Im single today, its because I stayed  with people that didnt make me happy, didnt treat me well and didnt make my life better.  I hope youll be wiser.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;  Lucia is a dating and relationship expert, columnist, lecturer and host of the TV Show &amp;quot;The Art of Love&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;With over 20 years experience on the relationship market, Lucia has dated men of all nationalities in six cities, four countries and two continents.
