Love is Alive in 2009!
With a fresh 365 days in front of you and lots of lessons learned from 2008, this is your year to master online dating and meet someone that is compatible for you. Out with the old and in with the new. If you are still in love with your ex or someone that doesn’t know you exist, you may not be ready to give 100 percent of yourself to someone else. Don’t let someone else hold you back from what you really want this year.
Here are 5 tips to help you this NEW YEAR:
-Put the pen to the pad and list what is most important to you in a mate
When it comes to values and personal beliefs, you’ll want to find a mate that is ‘equally yoked’ as you. When you take the time to write down everything you are looking for in someone, it forces you to see what is important. It’s easy to get caught up in the honeymoon phase of dating, but if you are concrete in what you are looking for, you won’t waste time with the wrong person. Writing down characteristics helps you uncover what you’re willing to live with and what you can’t live without. While it is important to date with realistic expectations of a partner, setting the bar so high that even a superhuman couldn’t reach it only stops you from meeting someone you might actually like.
-Acknowledge your uniqueness
The dating world is quite competitive, there is always someone prettier or someone that makes more money than you. Celebrate your individuality and be aware of your greatest attributes, inner kindness, and strengths, confidence will follow. Don’t ever try to be someone you are not. Let someone fall in love with you that appreciates your uniqueness.
-Never miss an opportunity to meet someone new.
Don’t hibernate in the winter just because it’s cold. Get out and meet new people. Expand your social network and join a niche online dating site narrows your potential matches down to just a few. Take up that offer to meet for coffee from that cute guy at work, go out of your way to hit the gallery opening this weekend. You won’t find your potential mate in your living room or bathroom. Get out in 2009!
-Be Optimistic
It’s important to be optimistic that you will find the right person. If you’re convinced there isn’t anyone out there for you then potential suitors will start to believe it too. Be positive - and reflect an attitude that says ‘YES I CAN!’
