Pay Attention to the Passion
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When my single friends tell me about the people they meet, many of them say that they lose interest if they find that the person lacks passion. Or if they are passionate about something, it’s far from their own passion.
How important is it for someone you are dating to have passion? Do you get along better with people who have passion for the same things you do?
I have noticed that I am drawn to competitive men, this is something that catches my eye. I pay attention to what is driving his motivation to achieve and what feeds his passion for life. I think this tells a lot about how compatible we are.
Passion can also tell you if the person is not a good match for you. If they expend energy and focus on things that are not aligned with your outlook, you should pay attention to that closely. It could impact how long your interest in the person lasts.
Have you ever dated someone who was passionate about something? Was it something that appealed to you or turned you off? When you are dating someone new, do you show them what you are passionate about? If so, how do you express your passion to them?
If you can’t put a finger on what the person is passionate about would that bother you?
I’m not sure what happened to the blog, yesterday. I apologize for the early closing. Hopefully today will go off without a hitch - Happy Friday!
