I would like advice on how to go about dating after a 4 year gap
As the title says I have been single for the past 4 years, my last relationship ended when I was 22. Even know I loved her at the time, and she didn't feel I was the one so she ended it, but I now feel like I am fully moved on, it took longer than I thought but I made it. I knew I wasn't the best version of myself so I decided to work on myself, at the start it was to attract a woman but when she didn't come I got a bit desperate and lonely, however over time it got better and working on myself for me. There are ups and downs like anything, but overall I feel like I am in a good place, and now is the time to find a woman who I would like to build a long term relationship with. I have spent this single time working on myself, building the right social circle of uplifting men, good role models and building a successful tech business, I enjoy my career working with my excellent team and value each and every one of them. I have new hobbies into reading, traveling, volunteering, and politics. Working on my physical fitness going to the gym and playing tennis, joining running club meeting like minded people. I have gotten out of my shell and experiencing new things, and like volunteering at the weekend. I have focussed on trying to become a better person, and to be proud of myself of who I am. Now, I would like some advice on how I can identify a good quality partner, and what I should do when I meet her. I know this area of my life needs improving, and hasn't undergone the same level of work the rest of my life but I feel like now is the time to build a healthy relationship and I appreciate your feedback and thoughts. I want to know what you think.
