First, know what you really want. Subtract your own true needs and desires from that which you have been told to want, or told you must settle for. Then, use your best thinking to figure where the sort of person who would fit with you is likely to be. For example, if intelligence is terribly important to you, then the academic world is more important than a sports arena or a TV game show audience. Next, go where the people you most want to meet are most likely to be, and be a nice person, easy to talk to, and not pressuring anyone. Get to know people in the context of your hobbies, interests and beliefs, instead of a "singles" type high-sexual energy setting. Be open to adjustments from your ideal: maybe it is reasonable for you to want your great love to be very attractive, but what you really want is a balance of factors. If the person you meet is very compatible otherwise, but not as pretty or handsome as you had imagined, is that so important? Or if a man is truly wonderful otherwise, but his income is lower than you had hoped. Weigh factors realistically, and realize that you are being evaluated, too. Is it reasonable for people to get hung up in that old joke: I met Mr. Right, but it didn't work out; he was looking for Miss Right. |
