We all do and say crazy things in the hunt for love, and accordingly, it's a bit too easy to be side tracked by awful dates, with the possibility of a broken heart and other put offs we encounter whilst delving into this tricky terrain. So, let's see how to avoid unnecessary habits many of us encounter when exploring the land of love.

You may be thinking by now, what exactly is a bad love habit? Well , put simply, a bad love habit can be all of or part of any nonadaptive, negative, awkward belief or habit you have towards love and dating which is responsible for and holding you back from discovering, attracting, and preserving an existing or even new relationship. People often get lulled into thinking that a new relationship is the answer to solving or meeting their own emotional needs which is a prime example of a bad love habit!!

Diane is a columnist in a leading relationships magazine in Australia, and also hosts a part time segment on national radio.

"Stop delaying your life, don't put it off another minute. Too many of us will use the excess of "I will start dating when I buy a house" or "I will start looking for someone when I lose a bit more weight" Well, put simply, you deserve to take full advantage of what life has to offer - right now! and every other minute of the day. No one is perfect and neither are you, so why should you wait until you think you fit a certain image - build your self image AND lose your bad dating habits at the same time - multi task!!"
