In our book, “Love Clinic - How To Lose Your Bachelor’s Degree”, we mentioned about Murphy’s Law for the first date. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

One of our readers recently arranged for a tennis game with the woman of his dreams. He has planned everything well beforehand, such as booking of the courts, preparing the equipment, and even buying his friend’s favourite drink at the supermarket. Atlas. 15 minutes before the scheduled time, it rained heavily and his date called to cancel the meeting.

While you may try everything to make sure that everything goes right, there is still the element of “fate” and “luck” in every relationship. For this reader of ours, he has done everything he could to make sure everything goes right. He only has heaven to blame for raining at the wrong time. However, rather than allowing his date to cancel off the meeting, there are certain things he could do to reverse the situation to his advantage.

Always have a backup plan and offer alternatives. In life, not everything will go smoothly in your way. If you meet with an obstacle, take a step back and analyse the situation from a different perspective. Can I meet her for an indoor activity instead? Can we meet for dinner? How about let’s arrange another day to make up for this tennis game that we have missed? These are some of the things that could have been done to ensure that you’ll still get a memorable date, even if luck is not on your side.

Remember, if you analyse love and relationships from a different perspective, even murphy’s law can be reversed!

Good Luck!
