People don't usually enter a relationship planning on breaking up, so it may seem weird to think about how we would want to be remembered if it does end. But you have to work toward being "the one that got away" even before you start dating.
- Be mysterious. Stop babbling and be mysterious.
- Be adventurous. Being courageous and daring shows that you are not just conscious but alive. There's nothing wrong with taking a lazy day to yourself and binge watching Netflix, but those are not going to be the days your significant other will remember.
- Get involved. Being busy tells people that you have a life. You're not sitting around waiting for them, you'll have stories and experiences to talk about later and the time you finally get to spend together will be much more precious.
- Be creative. Paint, sing, write, dance - try doing things you've never done before. You become more charming when you're living life and being a little different.
- Be carefree. Don't nag and don't be unpleasant. Be spontaneous, play, run and experience. Don't worry about how you look all the time or let what others think bother you. Have fun, go along with the ride and initiate activities as well.
- Laugh. Find humor in everything.
- Be positive. Only speak uplifting and encouraging words. Instead of talking about the things you don't like, talk about what you do enjoy.
- Ask questions. Be genuinely interested in others' lives. Asking questions allows them to talk about themselves and it creates a welcoming environment.
Someone that has the above qualities will not only be "the one that got away" after a relationship ends but it is what will be attractive about you from the start. People will want to be around you, including friends, co-workers and peers.
