When you practice conscious dating, you practice the emotional skills required for a happy marriage.

And being curious about each other is central to real connection and real romance.

So here are just a few tips to help you be a smart dater, a conscious dater:

• Throughout the day, keep a list of all you\’d like to know about your lover.
• Make a time in the evening, or when it\’s convenient, to ask your questions and share the answers with as much trust and openness as you can. For example, find out more about each other\’s childhoods and dating fears.
• Ask for specific reasons that your sweetheart loves you for who you really are.
• Investigate your lover\’s dreams for the future with you.

Curiosity will take you beyond your expectations and fantasies, so that you can get to know each other and yourselves more and more deeply. Stay open. You will learn more than you can imagine. And notice the growing connection, the opening of your hearts as you share yourselves more fully. Then curiosity becomes a great aphrodisiac!

And if you want to become more comfortable and confident as a smart, conscious dater – who wants a seriously fabulous committed relationship, we created our program “Smart Dating for Success Every Time – Guaranteed” for you.
