With Super Bowl XLIV only less than 3 weeks away, whether you are a single man or woman you are likely to know about this day! You may find yourself as a single girl who just loves football or who thinks if you go to a Super Bowl party or sports bar and just watch a game of football on this day, your odds will be great and come across a lot of single guys to flirt with. You may find yourself as a single guy who sees this as “National Guy Day” and time to share the festivities with the “boys” or who hopes to meet his dream girl who is both “girly” and loves football. Either way, football season is in high gear and has a lot to do with dating than what may meet the eyes.
Football is a four-quarter game : Dating is a multiple-date game
Dating to find the right partner for a relationship is like winning a football game in many ways. Teams play all four-quarters no matter what the score is. It doesn’t matter if it’s a blow-out game, coaches and players finish the game that is started. Many execute plays that create upsets and all of sudden the momentum of the game changes and games are won by teams that “show-up” every second of the game regardless of the scoreboard. But countless numbers of singles I know say they dislike dating, many will let a few “bad dates” spoil their appetite to date, or many will even refuse going on another date with someone even if the date goes well because there wasn’t a “spark”. So are these singles just looking at the scoreboard and see themselves as the underdogs in a blow-out game? What if on any given Sunday when a team is down big at the half, can you imagine a starting quarterback just deciding not to go back on the field? You can say that winning to a quarterback has the same level of priority as a relationship is to any single man or woman who is a serious seeker!
Well to “win” in the dating and relationship game, maybe it’s time apply some of the best practices of any ordinary player who desires to win on any given Sunday:
-If it’s an enjoyable date and no red-flags come up, but there’s just no “spark” then go on another date to explore the possibilities. When a great receiver misses a catch, his quarterback will usually find him again because he knows it might just be a first-down or even touch-down this time! Your date could be a “touch-down” but do you have the dating skills to find out?
-If you have a few bad dates, it’s time to just learn what you can from it and get some new dates. Remember, dating is also a four-quarter game. Is persistence a part of your dating skills?
Football players have a life beyond the field : Successful daters have a life outside of their future partners.
Fans love to see that their favorite players have a life outside of football like when they get hugs from a proud mom before a big game or endorses their favorite charity. Your future partner wants to know that you already have a life before you met them. This shows that your happiness and well-being is not completely dependant on them! So if you are a little off-balance, time to nurture some friendships, get involved with the hobby you’ve been thinking about, and be open to the fact that your future partner does not have to like everything you like to do because you have other outlets to share that with as well.
Football players have great coaches to review plays with : Daters who want to have feedback can find a personal matchmaker
Players review plays with their coaches to learn and execute on the next game. Coaches use play tapes to help their teams learn to differentiate between different defensive fronts and learn about the opposing teams favorite moves. As a single person in the dating world, you can hire a personal matchmaker who can give you dating coaching and post-date feedback to help improve your dating skills or just give you the simple support that you need to find your future partner. How will you take control of your personal dating season in 2010?
