Unhappy Summer Loves

I'm afraid of summer relationships. Every year I meet new people and even have a great time. Usually romance starts as well. While the summer lasts, it's terrific. Once the summer is over it never lasts and I'm left feeling rejected and lonely again. How can I stop this from happening? How can I meet someone who will stay around?

Summer flings and romances are common. It's easier to meet people in the summer when everyone is out and milling around. People are also usually more open to relaxing and having fun. However, in the summer, as in any time of the year, it's important to keep your eyes open and see who it is you have actually met. What are they wanting? Is it only some summer fun?

If you are looking for more than this, take the time before you fall into romance and fantasy to find out who the person really is and what they are looking for. Most will let you know. Most tell you quite early. It's only that we don't want to listen and believe what they say.

All relationships have consequences. When we allow our feelings to become involved, if the other person isn't thinking the same way, disappointment is bound to follow. Take the time up front to put the dreams on the back burner and discover who you've actually met.

I agree with Dr. Brenda. I also have an idea that might work. This might sound silly, but it's worth a shot... Why not start with a new relationship during the spring? Avoid the summer flings and just concentrate on relationships during the spring and the fall.
