雙語(yǔ)閱讀：如何準(zhǔn)備開始一段新的戀情

把自己打扮漂亮起來

Getting back out into the dating world is a lot like going on job interviews. In fact, it is more of a job interview when you think about it. That being said, you could be a perfectly lovely person but if you do not groom yourself, you are not going to have much luck.

重新回到約會(huì)的世界，很像是要去進(jìn)行工作面試。實(shí)際上，當(dāng)你仔細(xì)想想的時(shí)候，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這比工作面試要難多了。這就是說，你可能是一個(gè)非常可愛的人，但是如果你不精心打扮自己的話，你可能就沒那么幸運(yùn)了。

By all means, if you feel like trying a new look like a new hair color or cut, or new clothes, or getting a makeup makeover, go for it. But make sure the person you are true to is yourself.

無論如何，如果你想要嘗試新的面貌，比如新的發(fā)色或者發(fā)型，或者新衣服，或者買一套化妝品，那就去試試吧。但是要確保你要對(duì)自己忠誠(chéng)。

Do not go goth unless that is what you truly want. You never want to make a drastic change to yourself in hopes of impressing someone else. Make it the best version of yourself so you feel truly recharged.

不要打扮得太狂野，除非你就想要顯得野蠻一點(diǎn)。你絕對(duì)不會(huì)為了給其他人留下深刻印象，而讓自己做出巨大的變化。要做最好的自己，這樣你才能真正感到自信滿滿。

2. Do something interesting

做一些有趣的事

Get into your hobbies again. It is through these things that you might meet someone new that you will build a relationship with. But even if you don't, a person that has their own interests and doesn't sit around waiting for life to happen is infinitely more attractive. Besides, it will keep you busy and busy keeps you from wallowing in loneliness.

再次撿起你的愛好。通過這些愛好，你或許會(huì)遇見可以談戀愛的新朋友。但即使你不談戀愛，有他們自己的興趣，而且不會(huì)無所事事，順其自然的人，也是非常有吸引力的。此外，興趣愛好會(huì)讓你忙碌起來，忙碌會(huì)讓你遠(yuǎn)離孤獨(dú)。

3. Do not think every date could be "The One"

不要認(rèn)為每次約會(huì)都會(huì)遇見"對(duì)的人"

You will be super disappointed if you do. You may go out on a date with a guy and think you had a fabulous time. He even kissed you goodnight and said he was going to call, but then he never did. Ditch your expectations and just go with it. Do not believe promises from people you just met. Let them prove their worth to you to earn your trust.

如果你這樣認(rèn)為的話，你會(huì)超級(jí)失望的。你或許可以和一個(gè)男生出去約會(huì)，然后想著你們會(huì)度過美好的時(shí)光。他甚至?xí)H吻你，跟你說晚安，而且說他會(huì)打電話給你，但是之后他卻沒這么做。放下你的期待，隨它去吧。不要相信那些你剛剛認(rèn)識(shí)的人的承諾。讓他們向你證明他們的價(jià)值，以此贏得你的信任。
