If you’re reading this wondering, “Why am I still single?” follow these tips before going on your next date:
- Ask yourself what you really want. If you want to date to have fun with no current interest in settling down, be honest with yourself and your date about this. If you are dating to find the right person to get married to and soon, do not be afraid to be honest about this to yourself and your date. (As a personal note, I only fix up people who are serious about finding someone to marry). Remember: everyone deserves to get what they want. Everyone, including you, deserves to be happy and to share love.
- Have a rough idea of what your past mistakes are. Do you always date people who are truly unavailable? Try to find patterns in past mistakes and break them. Following Tip #1 might help you break this cycle.
- Take a look in the mirror. One of the couples whom I fixed up were each required to read the chapter on “packaging” from Rachel Greenwald’s Find a Husband After 35: Using what I learned at Harvard Business School so they would take how they looked seriously when they met each other. She went to a personal shopper, he asked a friend to help and voila, they are married.
- Another tip from Rachel Greenwald: if you are looking for someone to marry, tell everyone you know. Ask everyone, even the person who cuts your hair, to think of you when they meet someone special. This can lead to some very entertaining offbeat dates as well as meeting a special someone.
Best of luck to you! I hope you find your beshert.
