****Think like "we" vs. "me"
For Kwanzaa, getting beyond the "me" mindset and thinking about the people around you is a must -- and this wisdom can come equally in handy when you're dating. Try not to focus solely on your own expectations, but envision your dates from both sides. Don't always choose your favorite restaurants, your favorite hobbies, or your favorite night of the week to go out. Be gracious and think of what your date would like to do. Consider not only whether this person is right for you, but whether you're right for each other, and you two may find plenty of common ground -- and maybe even a love connection.
****Self-determination
Love lesson: Take charge of your love life
Kujichagulia is the equivalent of those New Year's resolutions you may be making: Instead of just sitting back and wishing you were dating someone incredible, decide to do something to make it happen! Pick up the phone, and call that person you were hoping would ask you out. Sure, it can feel scary to put yourself on the line, but whether this person says "yes" or "no," we guarantee you'll sleep more peacefully knowing you tried.
****Collective work and responsibility
Love lesson: Reach out to friends and family
Sometimes, it takes a village to get things done. While I think this saying refers to harvest-time teamwork during Kwanzaa's nascent beginnings, this wisdom also applies to today's dating scene. So go ahead and make it known not only to your immediate family and friends but to everyone that you're on the lookout for someone special. Who knows? A co-worker or distant cousin may know someone who's right for you -- and just about everyone likes playing matchmaker. Get the word out that you're open to introductions and setups, and you'll reap some very romantic rewards.
****Cooperative economics
Love lesson: Relationships are give and take
According to the principal of Ujamaa, communities should support each other economically, trading goods and services amongst themselves rather than funneling those resources elsewhere. These are wise words indeed for your romantic life as well. So did your sweetie treat you to a dinner at a nice restaurant or help you clear the snow off your driveway? Then make sure to return the favor, and it need not cost a lot of money. Offer your date a taste of your home cooking, or if your amour has been shopping for a digital camera, do a little research and send him or her an article you spotted on the best models. It's small, thoughtful gestures like these that make all our lives a whole lot easier -- and that can easily deepen a bond with someone you like.
****Purpose
Love lesson: Define your dating goals
The principle of Nia challenges us to pinpoint exactly what we want out of life -- and since romance is certainly part of that, spend some time to really think about what you're looking for: Is it a deal-breaker if that person doesn't share your love of the outdoors? Are you open to someone who has children? Be honest with yourself. Admit it if you're not interested in a long-term commitment and would prefer to engage in casual dating. The clearer you are about your dating objectives, the more likely you are to achieve them.
****Faith
Love lesson: Don't give up on dating when the going gets tough
We know, we know: It's hard to remain romantically optimistic if you've been stuck in an endless dating drought or a string of not-quite-right rendezvous. That's why the Kwanzaa principal of Imani, or faith, is so important. Without it, single people everywhere would be throwing in the towel and staying home watching TV. But instead, they keep on getting out there and hold onto the hope that maybe tonight will be the night. Adopt that mindset yourself, and you may find you special someone sooner than you think.
