Are You Able to Love?

I am sure many people can sympathize with this arresting quote. Since I operate daily in the world of people who seek to love and be loved, I know from their stories that the thought and the words are appropriate to the current times—even if they were written almost a century ago.
It is true that the need for love never goes away. Some things never change. What has changed, however, is the realization of how to give yourself what you need. It isn’t necessary to pine away for unfulfilled dreams. You no longer need to suffer the feelings of hurt, abandonment, or being unloved. Civilization has arrived at a new consciousness of choice: you can take the actions necessary to have a life of love.
I also know that in order to find love, you must become the love you are looking for. How exactly do you do that? Take a look at:
Straight from the Heart

Dear Tonja,Several years ago, I met an incredible man at a business convention. We were co-chairs of a seminar that required we meet often for planning. The attraction was mutual and fierce but though I am single, he is not. We have kept good boundaries but it is becoming increasingly difficult to not follow my heart. Last week, he opened up and expressed his feelings, which overwhelmed me. He wants to leave his marriage and to know if I would consider a long-term relationship with him. What do you advise?
So Overwhelmed
Dear SoO,
Thanks for your letter written straight from the heart. This is a time, however, when you need more than your heart to guide you. Even when you are blindsided by chemistry and the feelings of love and longing, you have to use your head. This is your life and you get to do what you want, but in order to protect your heart, and for many other reasons, you would be wise to consider:

Since it takes 30 days to change an old habit, or build a new one, six weeks is plenty of time to turn your dating life around if you want to. How do you know if you need to start a six-week makeover? Answer the following questions:
* Are you happy with your dating life?
* Are you settling for someone now but don’t think he or she is the one?
* Would you really like to find your soul mate but you don’t know how?
* Do you believe the myth that there’s just “no one out there”?
If you answered yes to any of the above, consider the “six-weeks-to-romance” plan.

First dates can give you a little—or a lot of—anxiety. Here are some tips to help you be prepared and relaxed.
How to Rate your Dinner Date
Monday, 29 March 2010 18:44
Going out to dinner on a first or second date can be a challenge. It’s hard to talk and look at someone you don’t know well while you’re both chewing and eating. Depending on what you order, there are other embarrassing risk factors, like, spinach or lettuce sticking to your teeth, giving you a smile that’s a little scary. If you order spaghetti, you may either need a tablecloth sized bib, or, have a polka dot splattered shirt by the end of the meal. And more than one person, nervous from dating someone new, has over indulged on liquid refreshments, blowing all chances of another date.
So why put yourself through this? A dinner date can also be an opportunity to observe some telling behavior. Your role is not to judge; your place is to pay attention to some of the personal characteristics of your date that may or may not work for you. What should you look for? Absolutely no one is perfect, but you might turn the radar up on the following:
