This weekend when you’re out there in the dating trenches, be sure you’ve got 20/20 vision. Having 20/20 vision is a skill that all successful singles cultivate. Basically, it means that not only are you clear about what you want in the relationship area of life but that you see people clearly. Rather than project a fantasy of who you’d like someone to be, you see them for who they really are, who they reveal themselves to be.

Here are some tips for developing 20/20 vision:

1. Turn down your inner critic so you can actively listen to the person you meet
2. Pay attention not only to the person’s words, but to their actions as well
3. If somebody seems too good to be true, they probably are (i.e. don’t buy the hype or project a fantasy onto anyone)
4. Know how to spot a player (more on this next week!)
5. Make sure you have 20/20 vision about yourself and are not projecting an inauthentic image of who you really are onto the people you meet

Good luck and happy dating!
