In your search for Ms. Perfect, dont abandon the rest of the world. This throws you off balance, and may prove to be unproductive in the long run.

There is a saying; dont forget the old in the glory of the new. Dont give up on your old ties, your long friendships just because you are dating a woman who you find extremely fascinating. Very often men ignore their men friends for the sake of over-focusing on a particular woman. Thats not advisable.

Here are a few reasons why you need to keep your old friends network alive:

1) For a more balanced approach in life. You will feel more active and rejuvenated with old ties. So will your sense of self-esteem take a leap.

2) To keep away from getting over-obsessed with one woman, some distractions and digressions are healthy for your psyche. Its all about balance.

3) This will keep your woman interested in you for a longer time. Women love to see their men having a life of their own and their own circle of friends (male bonding).

4) You will be able to keep your doors and windows open. Meet other women through parties, get-togethers, etc.

The moral of this short lesson is that when you start loving someone, dont stop loving the rest of the world. We have all met people, who, once they are into a relationship, abandon all his old friends. He is not to be seen. Then when he is saturated with this new found love, he bounces back, looking for those same old friends to spend time. And wonders, where has my entire friends gone, long time passing!

Always remember this, you did not choose your family, you chose your friends. Family is always there, whereas friends are not. Family accepts you because there is no other way friends accept you because they wish to. There lies the difference.
