Now here\u2019s the thing. Often, when we look for a relationship, and I include myself in this, often when we look, we\u2019re looking because we don\u2019t feel whole and complete on our own. We\u2019re not happy and we feel lonely, and therefore we want a relationship to feel connected. Okay? That\u2019s very common.<\/p>\n<p>Ingrid:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All right, so what you\u2019re saying then is that we have to feel whole before we start looking?<\/p>\n<p>David:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to, but it helps. It helps so much. What I would say is you want to be enjoying your life, and that is your number one priority. Actually, it\u2019s your number one priority on the planet, we could say. You must be enjoying your life. So if you\u2019re really desperate for a relationship &#8211; and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that; many times I\u2019ve been very desperate to have some company or have someone in a relationship \u2013 what you want to look at is whether you\u2019re enjoying your life. If you\u2019re not \u2013 which is very likely if you\u2019re desperate for a relationship \u2013 you want to look at what you could do to your life to have it be more fun for you. Then, the irony is, if you spend a couple of months on this and you go and get your house looking the way you want it to look, you get your clothes looking the way you want them to look, you go to the gym &#8211; if that\u2019s bugging you; only if it\u2019s bugging you \u2013 and you really start enjoying your life &#8211; maybe buying that guitar and taking some lessons, and going out to that club you want to go at &#8211; you are going to be so much more attractive to everybody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is an excerpt of David\u2019s interview in Top Coaching Techniques.
