You have been in and out different relationships but every time the relationship does not meet your expectation. You say “I knew it was a mistake but I wanted to give it a try”. If you gave yourself time to reflect on such relationships you may learn something about yourself because your mistakes in a relationship reveal where you need to grow and what more you need to learn. Before entering into a dating scenario, know what you want before you start. If you do not know what you want in your life and relationship you will never get it. You will not know when you have found the man you want even if he is sitting next to you. From the first time you date a man you should be alert and learn how to determine if he might be right for you. Decide whether you wish to date him for fun and common interest or if you want him for a long term partner. To do this you must identify the values that you are not willing to compromise in a relationship. This will be based on your needs as a person.
When you firmly hold a conscious intention in your mind and heart, you will be able to draw a companion into your life with common interest or a mate, if that is your commitment. Something actually happens in the physical realm when you clarify your intention, declare it or speak it loudly to another person or take a proactive action to manifest your intention. Think how much more honored the man you ultimately choose to be with is going to feel knowing that you have selected him because of who he is, not simply because his presence keeps you from feeling lonely and anxious. To do this you must be complete in your self and must want to give 100% of yourself to the relationship just like you would expect the same of him.
If a man is truly interested in you, he will make time to pursue you and spend time with you. There is no need to chase a man because if he wants you he will make it known by his actions. Stay committed to your objectives and do not settle for Mr. Right now but for Mr. Right. Keep trying until you succeed. All human beings must learn to listen to and trust their internal voice if they want to grow and evolve. If you learn how to listen and trust your own inner impulses, that powerful voice from your inner self, you will find the person who fits with you and your relationship objectives. Being in a meaningful relationship with someone can help us grow emotionally and spiritually and make us greater than we were before. We were meant to help each other grow not destroy each other.
It is important for you to know that allowing a man to contribute to you either monetarily or energetically does not diminish you in anyway. This is more important to a woman who considers herself independent financially or otherwise. If you allow your man to use his power for you rather than trying to control it or feeling threatened by it, you acknowledge who he is and what he can contribute to the relationship. It also makes it easy for you to act like the woman you are.

Great job Wanjiku,
I loved your article on acquiring the man of your dreams. It was well thought out. It had the steps a person would have to take in order to accomplish this objective. And most importantly, this piece wasn’t degrading to either sex. Bravo Zulu Wanjiku.
LOL, I am glad you liked the article. But Zulu Wanjiku?
