Success Happy

What is the best way to avoid putting all of your happiness in the person you are dating?

I realize that I'm too dependent on the person I'm currently dating. I put nearly all of my happiness into her. I know that isn't healthy. What is a way that I can become less dependent and be happy about other things?

1. Take it slow maybe?
2. Find a good hobby, and spend time with your friends, that is key.
3. idk I'm doing the same thing you are.
4. Talk to the person about how you feel.
5. I know this sounds kinda wrong, but it works. We all know that nobody has a perfect girlfriend, so shop around with other girls, I'm not saying to cheat on her, but if she breaks up with you you will have a safety net. Hopefully you can understand, or maybe join some type of club or activity that you really like doing to take your mind off her. Either do that or hang out with her less.
6. I tend to do the same thing somtimes but it makes it so much better to see my GF its almost to hard for me to b happy when shes not around because there jsut isnt anything happy for me where i live -_- BUT hanging with my friends does make me happy and chiillin and sh*ts and playing games is some fun i have when im not bored or treated like crap at home. so its not to bad of a thing to put almost all your happieness in ur partner. Now if she says you do then that means you know go out and hang with the guys for the night or day and see or tlk to her later and enjoy your nighout with the guys. it doesnt seem to me that putting so much happyness in ur relationship. but you have to see there is other ways to be happy you gatta no that and have fun and stuff with whatyou do.
7. Always put things in line with limitations, when you think you're falling down feeling from her, then start escaping. You can schedule your dates also, the more you go on dating with her, full attachment will be possible. Adjust things, try something that can divert your dating attention form her, so that somehow you won't expect much from everything.
8. I think that happiness is love. To love or to be loved. I find it odd that someone who early in life was down and broken i.e. alcoholic father, depressed mother, abandoned could find happiness. But someone like this must have really wanted to prove themselves so they tried humor, got an education, a job, got married, had grandchildren and a room of dirty laundry, maybe a little garden to nurture and watch grow. Love. Laughter. Life. I believe that when someone truly loves happiness isn't about "me." Happiness comes from within. A men looks at his own heart and changes the character of his soul. Conquers himself. Love brings forth understanding and with understanding, happiness. Happiness isn't too far away. It's all within you.
