You’re single and are ready to get back into the dating game – scratch that – you’ve been ready to get back into the dating game.

Unfortunately, it hasn’t happened for you yet and you’re getting a little bit restless.

You start obsessing over it and over thinking things which end up ruining a lot of your chances to actually get your better half.

It may be time to take a break from actively searching for someone and just let things fall into place like they are supposed to.

These are some of the possibilities that may occur when you stop obsessing over finding love.

1.You focus on yourself more

You start appreciating yourself more when you’re single and find ways to make yourself happy without necessarily having to lean on somebody else’s views on you. You feel liberated to say the least.

2.You don’t end up settling for less than you deserve

When you obsess over finding a romantic partner, it is easy to end up settling for less than you deserve. The person may not be the right one for you – and you know it – but you still hang on because you feel like you don’t have a choice.

When you take a step back from your search, you may save yourself from heart ache and unhappiness.

3.Your stress levels drop

You’re not obsessing over finding love so it will only make sense that your stress levels are going to drop.

4.You come off as less desperate

When you obsess over finding love, you can come off as desperate and we all know how that can end up. Desperation can be a great turn off.

5.Your other relationships grow

Your friendships and even relationships with your family have time to grow so being single isn’t all that bad.

6.You actually find love

Have you ever heard some people say that when they actively search for something they’ve lost, they don’t find it but when they stop looking, it suddenly appears in the most obvious of places? The same principle can apply for relationships.

Love will find you when the time is right.
