How Can I Find Someone For Me – 4 Major Steps To Follow.

Latest Update: November 15, 2024

Dr. Seuss relationship goals quotes

Finding love with someone of the opposite sex starts with understanding yourself and what you genuinely seek in a partner.

Reflect on your values, interests, and goals to identify what aligns with your vision for a relationship.

Engage in activities and communities that resonate with your passions, expanding your social circle naturally. Be open, approachable, and willing to take genuine interest in others.

Communication and honesty are key—express your true self and listen actively. Building a connection takes time, so be patient and resilient.

How can I find someone for me; still enters the back of your mind.  But  remember, love often blooms when you’re focused on personal growth and embracing life’s opportunities.

                      Here are some important factors:

 

1) IT ALL BEGINS WITH ‘PERSONALITY’ FOCUS.

How Can I Find Someone For Me?
Couple working together painting apartment.

Your search should clearly focus on the other person’s personality.

It would be great to find someone that has something in common with you. That’ll come over time once you slowly get to know the person.

Remember, that’s when you’re the most relaxed, the most satisfied. Knowing you have someone you can talk about things with.

Before, getting over the challenge of just meeting someone, would’ve been tough. With everyone masking up before, you never got a chance to see how nice looking or how ugly a person really is.

2) CAN’T MEET IN PERSON? THEN TALK FIRST ONLINE!

How can I find someone for me.
Feeling happy that she’s talking to new guy online.

As far as looks are concerned, you’d have to guess and ask yourself, “Just how ugly is that person behind the mask?”

You can really get a good feel for a person through ‘face-time.’ No need to worry about fakes because you know who you’re talking to already. (Make sure it’s a ‘live video chat).

You’ve already met. Now you can start getting to know each other better through video. Keep in mind, things have changed in todays world of dating.

You may not like communicating this way, but for now, it’s just something we all have to deal with. Meeting someone in todays time is NOT an impossible task!

It’s just how you go about it. And the way you do that is by being respectable towards the other person (even online)!

3) SETTING UP IN PERSON 1ST DATE TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER.

how can i find someone for me
A ‘getting to know you better’ lunch.

Once you’re both feeling comfortable and safe with each other, a good first meeting at a restaurant or some other place you both agree on would be nice.

Many more good things can come out of a meeting like this. You can really find out more about the ‘compatibility factor’ among yourselves.

There’s much information you can uncover about a person in a relaxed restaurant environment. (One thing you’ll find out right away is what one of their favorite foods are).

4) DON’T LET FEAR OF COMMITMENT STOP YOU FROM GETTING CLOSE.

how can i find someone for me?
Couple finally having ‘face to face’ meeting.

After much texting, calls and safe ‘in person’ meetings you feel you know this person very well.

(Maybe he or she is the one). Maybe it’s time!

You’ve been single long enough. It’s been 3 years now and a spouse would be nice.

But of course along with commitment comes ‘Trust.’ (This is so important in any relationship). Trust should be valued among couples and not taken for granted.

TRUST & COMMITMENT

How Can I Find Someone For Me?
They have to figure out how to make their relationship better.

Trust and commitment are the cornerstones of any strong relationship.

Trust is built through consistent honesty, reliability, and transparency, forming a foundation where both partners feel secure and valued.

It requires time and effort to develop, but once established, it fosters intimacy and mutual respect.

“Commitment involves dedicating oneself ‘to nurturing the relationship, even through challenges.”

It means prioritizing your partner’s well-being and investing in shared goals. Both trust and commitment are reciprocal; as you demonstrate these qualities, they strengthen the bond and deepen the connection.

Together, they create a resilient partnership where love can thrive and grow.

Love and trust are essential for a strong relationship. Love involves deep emotional connection and mutual respect, while trust is built through consistent honesty and reliability.

Together, they create a secure foundation, enabling partners to feel valued and supported. This combination fosters intimacy and strengthens the relationship over time.

 

In Conclusion

Finding an individual to love and cherish is a journey filled with discovery and connection.
As we engage with different people, we learn to recognize compatibility, shared interests, and emotional resonance.
Love flourishes in environments of trust, respect, and communication, where both partners feel valued and understood.  Cherishing someone goes beyond mere affection; it involves supporting their dreams, celebrating their achievements, and standing by them through life’s challenges.
Ultimately, finding that special individual is about creating a bond that enriches both lives, fostering growth and happiness, and nurturing a deep connection that transcends the superficial.

 

Through this journey, love becomes a beautiful tapestry woven from shared experiences, laughter, and unwavering companionship.

  1. I like the way the site owner lays out there start page. It is done in a cleverly way and with a very good sense of humor. I felt myself engaged in the article that was written waiting for the next comical or clever thing to be said. I felt like the article was keeping my attention. I was looking forward to the answers that he or she was eluding to be coming at the end of the article. This is well written and in a very funny way.

    1. Thank you for chiming in, Patrick. Glad you enjoyed reading it. I always write material based on a mixture of comedy and real life stuff. A reader never know when the next surprise will hit. As long as the reader stays engaged, then I feel I’ve done my job. Thanks again for dropping by.

  2. Some great advice and good home truths here. I love the burping farting man you have pictured there, and boy don’t we all know a few of those. Sometimes love is really blind.

    I think the worst part for most people is actually making the effort and going out and meeting somebody. It is always scary at first, and I agree it isn’t always easy to find that special someone that you can connect with.

    Keep these helpful posts coming.

    1. Hi Michel and thank you for commenting. Glad you liked my article. I feel when the ‘love bug’ hit, some folks lose all control. They seem unconcerned about the person’s faults, they just want to be love. That’s the trouble with people, just the idea of being ‘in love’ is all they care about. That is what they consider a most important element in their lives. Then down the road, they realize a mistake was made (and it wasn’t on the other persons part).

      I agree when you stated their is some initial fear when hooking up the first time, but those are the chances you take until you do find the ‘perfect one’. Thanks again Michel for commenting. Let me know if I can assist you with anything else.

  3. I have read your posts before and like always, I was engaged in reading the content from top to bottom, nodding along and laughing a lot.

    Wow, you just touched some of most essential aspects of dating in today’s world, people just are unaware of what they are doing to themselves.

    Lol, I don’t know what I will do if I find someone I am dating on such a TV show, that’s a nightmare.

    So many programs built around dating now days really are making lives more miserable by just finding a way to make money by just using the fact that people are in need of partners. Being an affiliate marketer makes me aware of a new such product coming every month, your site is something that can save many such lives.

    Very nice post really, awesome read!

    1. Thank you Hari for your kind words. I’m glad you get some value and enjoyment from the post I write. I try to be as real as I could when touching on the ‘strange world’ of dating. There’s good and bad in everything. You never know just how that person is until you’re knee-deep into the relationship. It’s like quicksand!

      As you stated Hari, tons of dating and relationship programs being shown to viewers, but none you can take too seriously. Its really all about revenue for the tv network. Hey,Hari, If my site is shared enough, maybe I could step in and ‘save the day’ for others. ‘Ron,The Super Hero’. LOL

  4. Thank you Sam for commenting. You’re absolutely right whereas, folks out here on the dating scene don’t know what they want. They hookup with that person they feel is ‘the one’. then later, regret it in the long run. It seem today, as far as value in a relationship is concerned, that thought goes down the toilet. Value seems to mean nothing anymore.

    But don’t get me wrong Sam, there’s a lot of good people out there; it’s just hard to come across them in a sincere way. The personality just ain’t there! Thank you Sam for commenting. Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

  5. Thank you for your comment, sam. I do apologize for getting back to you so late. Yes, sometime being single establishes yourself against unwanted mental pressures and confusion. But you made some excellent points here, especially when you stated women hooking up with losers based on their emotions. One of the other major problems I see is women trying to change their man, once they get them. They want them to look and preform to their satisfaction. Then, down the road, the woman’s complaints start coming regarding their mate’s behavior, among other things. A lot of false hope is on display.

    Also, when it comes to children, some women take for granted that the man will eventually ‘warm up’ to the little brats. There’s problems right there. Can’t force someone else’s child on another. A ‘Big No No.’

    Again Sam, thanks for checking back in with me. If you have any other questions, comments or concerns just hit me up.

  6. Some great advice here! Commitment is that magical word that so many tend to be afraid of. Any relationship without commitment is no relationship at all, right? It builds trust and love grows stronger.
    I was so intrigued reading this from top to bottom. So many great insights and I like that you bring humor to the topic. Being single can be frustrating at times but I believe this article will bring a new level of happiness.

    1. Thank you Katie for commenting. Glad you saw some value in my site. Yes, the whole dating thing can be a gigantic bowl, in our society, of mixed nuts. Then sometimes things may roll out smooth as silk. (Depending on who you end up with and how the relationship evolves). I clearly understand that the word ‘commitment’ makes most dudes weak in the knees and want to run the other way.

      But it isn’t always all doom and gloom. There are many bright spots when a person looks forward to committing themselves to that special ‘one’ person. They don’t have to worry about running around, spending a lot of money on some woman that they later regret. (The guy figure that money would have been well spent on lottery tickets).

      I don’t know if you’re single or not Katie, but if you are, just hang in there. Mr. Right is bound to come along. (If not, I’m always here buried under the ‘sea of singles’. Just dig me up!)LOL

      Again, I want to thank you Katie for checking in. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

  7. It is true that we tend to overlook someone’s shortcomings when we are looking–sometimes desperately–for a partner to share life with. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing unless the shortcomings you are overlooking are like the anecdote you shared in your post…a criminal. =) I think it helps to have certain questions you want answers to and scenarios that you want to observe the person in. I also think that this is best done before two people are intimate. Our logical minds get foggy when we are being ruled by our body and not our mind. What do you think?

    1. Hi Lucy, how are you? Thanks for commenting. A lot of times folks, especially after a recent breakup, rush right into another relationship mostly out of fear of being alone. Not really taking into consideration, no time was spent getting to know this new ‘flame’ (the one they claim ‘ignited their heart!…Yeah; right!)

      In their hearts of hearts, they feel good about their pick. No past investigation needed! (this turkey could’ve just been released from the state penitentiary last week). Then the woman complain later about how bad she’s treated. Same with a guy. He falls for the ‘smoking hot body and cute face.’ Never mind that she turns out to be ‘psyco’, (A straight up nut case!) This is what happens when guys think using the ‘wrong head.’

      You made some excellent points Lucy and I agree 100%. Thanks again for commenting. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

  8. Very interesting and informative article on dating mind games, I was married once a long time ago and it did not work out she abandoned me and my sons.

    Since then I have not been involved with anyone new, for the longest time I was damaged goods for the abuse from my formal partner.

    Most people don’t realize guys can be emotional damaged from a relationship as well, thank you for the great tips and article it did relate to my own experiences as well.

    1. Hi Jeffrey and thank you for checking in and commenting. Dating just like marriage could be a rough go as the months and years go by. We all hope the road get smother down the stretch, but sometimes things don’t always go in our favor. During your relationship with your ex, she probably made you feel that it was all your fault. I don’t know the detailed circumstances of your relationship breakup, but nine time out of ten, she was at fault as well. It’s even worse in your case that she took your kids. (that was a real Blow to the Gut).

      But Jeffrey remember, there’s always a brighter light at the end of the tunnel. What you need is a confidence boost. Click on this link Jeffrey, Follow it. It’ll point you in the right direction:hop=…

  9. Hello Ronald

    This is an interesting read and anyone who has been in the dating field will at one time or the other experienced.

    Now looking back( I’m older, been there done that)I think most young people are more affected with dating games as young people are not yet sure if this is the one or if they are ready to commit or settle down.

    The dating field is a jungle, and with the internet making dating more international, it`s even harder, the woman/man of your dreams who you meet online is not always the person they claim to be. It`s funny you should mention a feeling of desperation when single, and it`s funny that I had this feeling when I was much younger. I think as we get older, there is more security, we are more confident with who we are.

    Very informative and really enjoyable read, thanks so much for sharing, I have bookmarked your site, not because im single but because I like your way with words and would like to keep reading your posts.

    1. Hi Roamy, thank you for stopping by and commenting. Yes, Roamy the ‘dating arena’ is loaded with a vast array of superficial characters. ready to pounce on the vulnerable. Those who just got out of a relationship, weak and harboring a sense of desperation.

      Many young folks jump from the frying pan to the fire, with no sense of direction. No purpose. As you mentioned Roamy, with the help of the internet and its ton of online dating services, things have grown so out of control, like an open field of marijuana invaded by 1960 hippies. Even my own younger days, were filled with young ‘untapped’ women (and I tried my best to ‘tap’ them all).

      Age kinda slows us all, but some of us still do are thing. (there maybe ‘snow on the roof top,’ but still ‘fire in the furnace.’) I agree age does keep you grounded and your confidence is at an ‘all time high’; which is a good thing.

      Thanks again for stopping in and let me know if I can do anything else. Check back any time.

  10. I think this article is very interesting.

    How much time do you think that we should spend getting to know someone before we decide to be exclusive?

    It seems to me that women do choose based on feelings, while men choose within the first minute that they want some kind of relationship with a woman. What kind of a relationship that they want remains to be seen tho…

    1. Hi Irma, how are you? Thanks for dropping by. I’m glad you found value in my article and found it interesting. Sometime, when it comes down to dating, some folks end up with some weird characters. But we never find out how weird he or she are until much later into the relationship. Some of us move too quickly before getting to know what the other person is all about.

      I feel the appropriate ‘wait’ time before folks become exclusive is six weeks. Could even be sooner, but things should just progress naturally. I always tell folks you’ll know this is the one when you get the ‘feeling’. It’s that special ‘feeling’ you get when everything just ‘feeeels right.’ (This is that magical moment)!

      Yes I agree with you Irma, that women do settle into relationships based on feelings, while us dudes think more of a sexual relationship right from the start. When we look into those pretty eyes, and those pretty eyes are embedded into a ‘cute’ face which is attached to a ‘smoking hot body’,….then the thought of sex is not far behind.

      Again I want to thank you Irma for commenting. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

  11. I really enjoyed this article. As a single woman I can relate to many of the topics brought up even though I am not currently looking for a relationship it is nice to know that there are helpful tools out there! I have been in countless situations where the question of “What are we?” always comes up and it is extremely awkward from any point on after that. I think I will take a look at this book because it sounds very interesting and I always love reading relationship advice even though I’m not in one! 🙂

    1. Hi Mallory and thank you for commenting. When it comes down to dealing in the ‘world of dating,’ there’s a good chance the single man or woman is guaranteed to involve themselves in some type of issue or crazy situation. Seems some folks, while in a relationship, tend to have the roving eye for others, which of course, never lead to any good.

      When you mentioned that the old question always arise, after a courtship goes for a while; the ‘What are we? (which is the same thing as a person asking,”Where is this going?” or “What about us?” ) Personally, my response to these questions would not leave me awkward, but would have me thinking; …”uh oh.” (This is where I alter my game plan.)

      Mallory, if you like comedy and would like a ‘jump start’ recognizing the different types of crazy profiles regarding the opposite sex, then you’ll love “How to Select a Compatible Mate”. Check it out.

      Again, thank you my friend for commenting. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

  12. Well, maybe I cannot practice the tips above. Because I’ve a pretty girlfriend already. But, you have a wonderful set up for your page here. I like how you build the imagination of the reader trough humorous way. Nice article 🙂

    I’m just wondering do you writing a humor book also? If not, I think you can try to start one.

    1. Hi Satria, how are you? Glad you stopped by. Can I offer you a glass of wine? lol. I just like to make my readers feel comfortable in my own crazy way. I hope you found my article entertaining. It’s a good thing that you’re in a solid relationship. (at least, you don’t have to run around looking for anyone). Congrats to you.

      When I write, I love to work with the concept of how relationships can develop through unorthodox ways. But whatever method a person uses, as long as it works that’s all that matter. Sometime Its easy, other times it may take a little work. But the goal is always the same; winning the prize.

      You also mentioned about me writing a book. Well, as a matter of fact Satria, I did. It’s called “How to Select a Compatible Mate.” If you like to see a complete review of my book, go here; Thanks again for dropping in. Let me know what you think about my book review.

  13. Hi,

    I love the advice for building the confidence to get over the “excuse hump” and walk up to the person. Great tips and advice on here that everybody needs to read.

    As a single guy I found this pretty spot on! keep it up please!

    I agree I think far too many people worry about the response they might get and how it will feel if they fail. We spend more time on thinking about that than thinking about what it could possibly turn into!

    1. What’s up Jordan? Thanks for dropping by to voice your opinion on The mighty “World of ‘Dating.” Don’t you just love it, Jordan? Some folks make the search harder than what it should be. Most of the time it’s just being in the ‘right place, at the right time’. 

      I try to provide meaningful information that is valuable to you and other readers. Useful advice for all. Guidance is what’s needed to walk that path regarding landing that ‘special someone’. I even help readers thru my humor book, which displays the many different profiles of the sexes. Jordan, as a single guy, you may get a big kick out of this. Take a look at this sample: I agree that most folks, mainly guys, fear rejection from a pretty girl and never make that first move. They experience failure in their minds before initiating ‘the hunt,’ and zeroing in on the prime target. Gotta get it right! I always say just don’t let low-self esteem and shamefulness get in the way of what otherwise could be s sizzling ‘hot’ romance.

      Thanks again Jordan for stopping by. Let me know if I can do anything else for you.

  14. Ronald, your website is indeed a valuable mate finding platform. Yes in life, getting a lifelong partner is not an easy task. Because the saying goes that partnership is made in heaven and marriage takes place on earth. And this fact also cannot be overlooked.

    Your offering of a site where partners can come together and click themselves for life is, socially speaking, a great contributing platform for the ladies and gentlemen of this globe and I hope to see that many dreams will be fulfilled about finding real soulmates through this dating site.

    However the first picture of two frogs representing two passionate lovers may be changed if you can.Human attributes and its vestiges may not be brought down to the level of the frogs although you might have done it for humour’s sake in my humble suggestion Instead why don’t we go for some ravishing pictures say of Monalisa or of the great Hercules for that matter so that there’s lots of traffics visiting your site.
    No doubt, the video collection is a fine one to mention with and I wish that so many lonely souls get value and find their way out from this LoveFolks.

    All the best of luck.

    1. Thanks H Phomrong for commenting on the site. I’m glad you found some value in my article. I just lay everything out there and hopefully the reader may see themselves in my writing. They most likely will say, “Damn! That sounds just like me.” 

      Some folks seeking that ‘perfect someone’ feels like it takes forever and they start feeling it just not to be. (A daunting task for sure). But when it happens, they will tell…sparks will fly. You’ll know this is the one. You’ll get that ‘special feeling.’

      Hopefully, my site will guide folks down the right ‘love’ path. Even my book, ‘How to Select a Compatible Mate’        will give folks a ‘heads-up’ in regards to showcasing the different profiles of the sexes (in a very humorous way). A little help goes a long way!

      As far as my site appearance goes, visual images are important, along with great content, as far as holding one’s attention. Everyone loves humor and I always incorporate that into any work I produce. All writers should have their own signature and creative style of writing. I’ve established my own brand a while back and is sticking to it!

      Thanks again H Phomrong for checking in. Let me know if I can do anything else for you.

  15. Marriage is definitely in my future I am just waiting for the right time. There is a lot of confusion out there about marriage and it is people like you who are helping to dispel the myths and make the truth clear.

    When two people love each other so much that they want to spend the rest of their lives together raising a family and spreading joy, that’s when you know its special.

    1. Hello my friend. Nice to hear from you again. I wasn’t sure by your last comment, if you were already married or not. I was gonna lay some more additional advice on you. I’m glad marriage is counted in your future. Hey Dagda, when the time is right, make it special. Enjoy that special magical moment.

      I try to make the information I convey, clear and concise. Info we all can understand and live by. Of course, most things I write about has a humorous overtone. No matter the subject.

      Like you said, when you find that special someone, you know love will ‘hold it together’. Marriage is usually the next step. But marriage is not for everyone. Many folks are excited just about the idea of ‘being in love’ and not really knowing the ‘true meaning’ of the word.

      A strong and happy marriage, along with having and raising children, is what it’s all about. Let me know how it’s going in your relationship, when the Big Day is set. Again, congrats to you Dagda. Stay in touch.

  16. Great topic indeed.
    The question of finding a suitable partner is a universal issue.
    Some of us go into new relationshipd blindly, without having done some research about your partner.
    Sometimes we even become intolerant towards our partners because of the fact that we haven’t done some due deligence.
    I will surely use this information to my advantage the next time I’m forced to go out on a hunting

    1. Hello my friend, thank you for stopping by. Thanks for appreciating my writing. The subject of love is a world-wide topic that covers much ground in regards to the sexes. Many search for love in all the wrong places. (I have a couple of friends that fit this bill).

      I agree with you when you mentioned about folks jumping into relationships too soon and not really getting to know their partner. (It happens all the time.) Any man or woman, as you say, going in ‘blindly’ is doomed for failure before the relationship ever gets going.

      When couples hook up that doesn’t know each other well, the arguments and disagreements soon began. Next, starts the cheating and lying and then someone’s MURDERED! lol (…I just had to throw that last one in).  

      But seriously, a good relationship is built on lots of love, honesty and trust. That’s way so many couple’s relationship fall apart because these ‘key’ ingredients are not included. 

      Thank you themac20 for commenting. Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

  17. Thank you my friend for checking in and commenting. But most importantly, I’m glad you liked it and thought it was wonderful. That really makes my day! Sometime the world of dating and relationships can become a crazy thing. Lots of folks get out there not knowing what they wanna do!

    I’m glad you found some truth in my post. I know some of the things I’ve written would have you thinking; “Did I do that?!” LOL! We all handle certain situations in our own way, in regards to dating.

    I feel many of us search for love, in other words; our ‘soul mate’, in all the wrong places. That’s why relationships ‘fizzle’ out before ever getting off the ground. So sad! Not enough research done on the man or woman of their dreams.

    Thanks again for commenting. Check in with me anytime, if you have any questions.

  18. Such good advice on what to look for in a partner. Too many people settle for an abusive relationship because it’s all they know. Great tips on questions to ask yourself about the person you’re thinking of dating. It’s so important that you make sure this person respects you and will treat you well before you enter a relationship with them.

    1. Hi Marie. Thanks for checking in and commenting. Thank you for the complement. I try to tell it like it is; even if I have to air my own ‘dirty laundry.’ lol. But seriously, it does take a lot of work and time to make any relationship sustain ‘staying power.’

      One person going one way, and the other in another direction won’t cut it! Now-a-days, folks hate to compromise. There mind is set to only how they see things working. This is a one-sided affair! These types of situations only occur when one person don’t take time to know the other. Maybe that person had an abusive relationship, but never disclosed their past to you.

      With that said, this is why communication is so important! You must communicate by asking questions before getting ‘knee-deep’ into something you may lose control over and start regretting later. Yes, respect is ‘Key.’ Make each day count!

      Again, thanks Marie for stopping by. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.  

  19. Ron, I see some great advice on a foundation level, but I’m still looking for the formula for breaking through that resistance, (hers and mine) when I strut up to a very hot number and try to break the ice. If I’d done this a few dozen more times in my younger years I’d have lots of notches on my belt, but now I need a better pitch, and I’m not looking for a notch, just a solid relationship with a sexy lady that can enjoy the things we can share…
    Can you lay a basic plan on me?

    1. Hi Steve. Thanks for checking in with me and commenting. Yes the ‘world of dating’ can get pretty tough. But then again Steve it’s all about the seeker’s personality and their confidence level, when it comes down to the actual seeking process.

      First, as far as age goes; remember, age ‘aint nothing’ but a number.’ you can still approach a sexy hot mama regardless of what your age is. (of course, you don’t want to approach and try talking to a chick too young. Then you’ll come across as a’dirty ol’ man.’)lol

      I’m an older guy myself, but date younger women. Also, never let nationality get in the way. Lots of guys miss out on the possibility of scoring a winner thinking one-sided. (There’s beautiful women in all races). 

      Second my friend, understand that women love humor. They like a man that makes them laugh. If you feel that you want to joke around, but not being offensive, and get her laughing, then you can give yourself a ‘brownie point’ (I did this on a pretty girl I met while out buying dog and cat food) Steve, you can also make conversation related to what you’re doing at the moment. 

      If grocery shopping, ask about the freshest fruit to buy or how to make a good salad. Or if you’re out dog walking, you can meet many ladies out with their pets. Be creative, friendly and smile a lot!

      Thirdly Steve, just be yourself and have confidence. Try not to portray someone you’re not. You’ll go along ways just by being honest because you don’t want something later, to come back and bite you i n the ass. Remember Steve, you’re not going to come out on top every time, but at least, stay in the game by keeping yourself available.

      Also, I strongly recommend you download a copy of this inexpensive book. This will show you how to build up confidence and much, much more. I’ve had others get this material and they like it. Click the link below:

  20. Hi Ron,
    I really enjoyed your post on how to play the dating game and selecting a compatible mate. Lot’s of good tips and tricks from a guy that’s had his share of hits….and maybe a few misses lol.
    I like your reference to the guy that sits at home, smelly and playing video games. I happen to have had several women friends who actually had this happened – literally floored me. How can anyone think this ok? Well, apparently some guys do.
    I enjoyed your 5 tips for the guys. Totally agree that guys should not be intimidated by beauty. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that the prettiest girl doesn’t get asked to home coming or sits home on a Friday night because guys are too intimidated by her beauty.
    Your fifth point, and my favorite, is be confident and be yourself. Confidence is sexy and people are drawn to it. When someone is comfortable and confident in their own skin, it attracts people to them.
    Thanks again!

    1. Hi Mat A, my friend. Thanks for dropping in and commenting. I’m glad you enjoyed my site and found value in it. The ‘dating arena’, if you will, can be a crazy place. Each lonely soul seems to be reaching out and searching for something. Some folks don’t even know what they’re really looking for in a mate.

      I always say you can’t win them all, but always give yourself a fair chance. When I think back on some of my single buddies, I think of a life-time of loneliness. These guys want their cake, and eat it too. One of my friends claim he wants a stay at home ‘main lady,’ but at the same time out picking up every ‘skeezer’ and ‘hooker’ off the street. Again, dudes don’t know what they want!

      The things you pointed out on my site, (especially the video portion) would make most guys think to themselves, ” Do I stink like smelly gym socks, ass and corn chips, playing video games all day?”  “Is that why the cat won’t come near me?” You gotta get it together dude!

      Guys on the lookout has to clean up their act, build up confidence, smile and just be themselves in a pleasant way to capture a woman’s interest.

      Mat A, thanks again for dropping in. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

  21. Hello Rjkennedy,

    I’m not single at the moment, but this would be interesting for my friend who has never dated.

    The best part about this is no physical interaction from the start, so you can make yourself comfortable first.

    It’s never easy especially with the fear of rejection, but at least you know the other party is also interested and looking while using this platform.

    Thank you,
    Eric

    1. Hi Eric. Thank you for checking in with me and commenting. There was the movie, ‘Forrest Gump’ that came out I think in the early 9o’s, with Tom Hanks playing the lead role. He was sitting on a park bench eating a box of chocolate candy. A lady shared the bench with him. As he was slowly eating, he looked up and then looked over at the lady. Then in that country drawl; he said; “Life is like a box of chocolates, ya never know wha’cha gonna get!”

      I bring this up because the same principle, just like the box of chocolate, applies to dating. A man or woman, who ventures out into the dating arena, seeking that significant other never know what they gonna get. Eric, just keep that in mind if you were ever back out in the dating world. But if you got yourself a good woman, keep her.

      As you stated, maybe your friend should look at the article. In fact Eric. send him my URL and let him choose which category he want to read. (I have several!) Feeling comfortable around someone you first meet, is one of the main ingredients in regards to having ‘things kick off right’. Once the ball gets rolling and overtime, things will start falling into place; then you’ll know she’s the one. 

      Thanks again Eric for stopping by. Let me know if I can do anything else for you.

  22. That’s right, nowadays new generation of people dating don’t understand what’s trust and commitment.

    Because these days everything is a game and people are so self centered that they don’t even care about feelings of others and relationships has just become a game now.

    But that’s the influence of people culture I think. Everything is a single-use product right now, relationships included.

    1. Hi Tyler. Thanks for checking in and commenting. Yes my friend, the dating world can sometimes send a normal person insane trying to figure out the maneuvers and strategy  of the opposite sex. LOL. You’re right Tyler, that trust and commitment should top the list, as what a person want in a relationship. There’s not enough honest folks around to stay in a committed relationship. People feel the grass is always greener on the other side!

      When you mentioned games being played, it put to mind a couple of my buddies I sometime hang out with. They’re always out ‘playing the game’ and would never take the time out to get to know someone. It’s only about sex with them and that’s it!! (And they both wonder why they’ve been lonely for the past twenty years). But I guess that’s just the way it goes. To each his own!

      I agree with you about the culture thing. But it’s really how men and women conduct themselves in society today. Most women who look good, walk around with their nose in the air thinking they’re too good to talk to guys that don’t measure up. These are the games the pretty women play; it helps build their self esteem. These are the type of women that always need their confidence lifted. Without that lift, they’ll come cashing down like a ‘fallen star from the sky.’

      Thanks again Tyler for stopping by. Let me know if I can do anything else for you.

       

  23. Good information, charming and funny! Dating is intimidating, but not nearly as daunting as getting INVOLVED! It is nice to see the side-by-side advice for men and women. It is true – confidence is attractive, fellas! Thank you for laying out lots of issues to consider in a light-hearted fashion! You are a wise and witty man.

    1. Thanks Michelle for checking in and commenting. ‘Love is a many splendor things’ (at least, that’s what the song title says. But I really don’t know how true that saying nor where do you apply it? We can all appreciate true love, as long as it’s genuine. But true love is hard to find in our society today! Too many phonies out there. Folks not being themselves, or as you stated too intimidating, making dating sometime too uncomfortable.

      It’s great if you find that ‘special someone’ but you never know how anyone is until you get involved. (This is the action which makes us all a little nervous). But as they say, there’s somebody for everybody.

      Dating can make a person who’s seeking ‘that special someone’ a nervous wreck! You have to weed out all the bad apples, to get down to the ‘good crop’. So to all seekers, keep on digging and searching; your bound to come up with a winner!

      Again, I want to thank you my friend, for checking in with me. Let me know if I can do anything else for you.

  24. Trust and commitment are certainly one of the top two traits required for a successful relationship. Do you think people fall “in love” too quickly?

    I have a friend that will say he loves a girl every other week. I once asked what her last name was, and he couldn’t answer!

    There is a lot of good advice here for guys. A lot of men seemed intimidated by beautiful women. When really, these women just want a guy to talk to her like everybody else.

    Thanks for the article and good luck everybody finding your mate.

    1. Thank you, my friend Ernest for checking in. There is an enormous amount of energy spent over time, when it comes down to searching, finding and landing that compatible mate. (Not always an easy task). A couple trying to make things work, must understand that trust is the ‘key’ subject towards success.

      Yes I do agree with you that some folks fall in love too quickly, that’s why most relationships fail. There’s no time in getting to know each other. Some folks just like the idea of just being in love, and place no bearing on the relationship in itself.

      Ernest, your friend is just out there looking just to get laid! (He have no interest in being serious. I have a couple of friends like that too). I bet he has no problem meeting beautiful women, but only for more sex and less conversation. I hope he’s carrying a pocket of ‘raincoats’ for protection. He’s gonna need them!

  25. Haha……really loved the cartoons – I think the one with the cats really did it for me…

    I believe that everyone should have a best friend of the opposite sex – cos they just may end up marrying them.

    What’s a best friend? Someone who listens and understands at most times and can be there for you and vice versa. Someone you have plenty in common with and can hold a decent conversation.

    The dating game is very over for me…however, I have bought lots of new clothes and am getting stares from both women and men offering to give me seats on buses…I wonder why?? The clothes are smart and not revealing…No makeup…just colour coordinated.

    Non-verbal communication also speaks volumes too..

    Hmm…this post is getting real long – exit stage left!

    1. Thank you, Thank you & Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this read. I love providing great, entertaining reading to my readers. Cartooning & humor at its best! (…not to be tooting my own horn, but what the heck; somebody gotta do it).LOL.

      I think what you say may have some truth in it regarding friends of opposite sexes. Only thing about that is how cool the persons partner would be with this. (Jealousy for sure, will rear its ‘ugly head!’) Normally, I think most long term close relationships do lead to marriage.

      Stella, you shouldn’t give up on the dating scene too soon. There’s a lot of ‘fish in the sea.’ Keep the nice clothes going. (you see you do get noticed). By the tone of your letter, I assume you’re single. I do offer some great material geared for single people. Great confidence builders. Go back Seller, and lake a look. Let me know if you need any help or additional information.

  26. I think the article offers great psychological information in a humorous way. I especially found the captions to the pictures funny. THREE BASIC FORMS OF EFFECTIVENESS was a great article in that it captures the three most effective attributes of a man in a simple, read format. I appreciate the major points in it. Thanks!

    1. Thank you Virginia my friend. Good captions launch the pictures to greater humorous heights! Glad they were able to ‘tickle your funny bone.’ Regarding that list, those simple forms of effectiveness are basic guidelines to help dudes get their act together. Major points NOT to be ignored. Guys must take heed….it may be your last go around! 

  27. The Internet and social media has become a way of life for people to communicate, people are hungry for information and possible answers to their problems

    Online dating sites have become a highly popular way for single people and those wanting to start a romantic relationship again. I admire that you have started a dating site it takes a lot of time, hard work, and creativity If your main objective is to unite people who are compatible and find true love then your site has real potential as moneymaking businesses

    1. Hi Richard, how are you? Online dating has been around for years. Some are successful, some are ‘time wasters.’ In regards to social media, this arena is the ‘launching pad’ to potential hookups. Sometime you have to be careful with what you’re getting involved with. My site isn’t a ‘dating site’ per say; but web pages where a reader can come and read into the ‘concept of dating’ along with other helpful advice.

  28. This should be compulsory reading for all before it’s to late! Wish `i had read it many years ago! Unlike many websites the written content and the videos are not only useful and amusing, they do contain so much good advice.
    If those who are ready to go dating read this beforehand, they are a lot more likely to make the right choices…..but then there’s love ….and that can make it so hard to do the sensible thing! BTW Love your quote – it’s so true.

    1. Hi Hilary. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Yes, love is an uncontrollable emotion that gets plenty of us in trouble. I agree with you that this type of article should have been out years ago. (Where was WA when we needed them?)lol. It seems like we all need some ‘prepping’ before venturing out among the vast sea of potential suitors. The dating game can be ruthless, and yet, sometimes a bit tricky if not careful.  

  29. It’s so true that people starting out in a relationship these days have no idea what they are getting into. It takes a lot of work to maintain longterm relationships anyway, but if you end up with someone not compatible I know it can be bad. I’m very lucky to have found someone who I can both put up with and love through any faults.

    1. As they say Jaime, it “takes two to tango.” Both parties have to be on the same page to make it all work. If one person has their own idea of what makes a relationship works and the other is going in the opposite direction, then that’s the recipe for disaster. I agree that it takes a lot of hard work to keep a bond tight between couples! Congrats to you on finding ‘Mr. Right!’

  30. Haha oh yes the dating game. Great read and yes it is important to have a goal on what you want to achieve. Also loved the 14 red flags video. It reminded me of when I was 23 and I had an excuse to all of the red flags I knew I saw in my hearts of heart. Keep educating the young ones so they do not make the same mistakes I made. Or at least fewer of them 🙂

    1. Hey Cliff, educating these ‘young bucks’ regarding love and the ‘dating game’ is so important. Passing on good, experienced information down to these youngsters is one thing…looking for them to follow sound advice is another. Most already have their minds made up and focused on how to play their own game. Oh, the misguided!

  31. Drama queens… lol
    But you’re right.
    One must really trust someone and trust that they won’t be a drag. Oh my goodness,,, that Is horrible. Reason why I think one should be best friends first.
    Then date at least a year so they see how they react on everything; especially holidays. Seriously.

    1. Hey, drama queens help keep the excitement going in our dreary lives. LOL. But seriously, everybody needs somebody. For a relationship to show any long-term signs of stability, one must take the other seriously by becoming friends first, then lovers second. A winning formula that works every time!

  32. I love your sense of humor! It really makes it interesting! I do think however, that you should try to spread out your advertising for products, instead of leaving them all to the very end. Maybe incorporate them into your writing by segments. Good work though, very entertaining! And maybe give people an opportunity to engage with you

    1. Hi Heather, and thanks for checking in. Glad you got a kick out of this article. Usually, I would disapprove a ‘feedback type’ reply, but If It’s something displayed that would have me take a ‘second look’, then I’ll look into it. Happy I was able to entertain you and thanks. 

  33. This is a great article to give guidance to a successful relationship, I have been in many relationships and I have always said at the beginning that without trust, appreciation, communication and loyalty then a relationship will not survive.

    This is great for people who have rocky relationships and need to have some guidance how to fix there problems.

    Keep up the great work, have a great day and all the success and prosperity that you deserve.

    Kind regards.

    Dean.

    1. Thank you Dean. I try my best to give the best dating advice I could. It’s cool if most people would follow my advice then maybe people would stay together longer. As you stated Dean, it’s all about trust, honesty and good communication to keep things ‘going strong.’ Good guidance is ‘key!’

      1. You are definitely right there buddy, even at the beginning of my relationships I mention these key factors and they are agreed upon mutually but as the relationship progresses the true colours of that person comes out and things start to change.

        Obviously at the start of the relationship, many people do not like to reveal their true selves just in case the other person does not like them. In my eyes, that is being deceitful because they are hiding behind something that is not real and the relationship ends in disaster. Just be yourself from the beginning and if the other person does not like it then it is not meant to be, go find the person who is meant to be:-)

        Thank you once again for sharing you truly have a good heart and I wish you everything you desire and deserve, take care.

        1. Dean, it seems that when it comes down to a good, bonding relationship, a ‘roller coaster’ of emotions are involved. As you stated, they wear a false mask until the feel they got the other one hooked. They slowly then start exposing their true self. Deceitful? Yes! Do this happen quite frequently? Yes! This is why, down the road, most relationships just ‘fizzle out.’ Honesty & good communication is ‘key.’

          1. I totally agree with you my friend, I have just come out of a relationship and that was exactly the case and thats why it did not work. Some people need to get to know themselves and love themselves, I say this to people and the majority say ” well I am not vein” It is not about loving your appearance, its about feeling good about who you are and accepting yourself, looking in the mirror and saying “I LOVE THAT PERSON” if you do not love yourself then you will not be able to love others 100%. Have a great day buddy and take care :-).

          2. Yes Dean, you do have to feel good about yourself before you can share that good feeling with someone you really want to know. I agree, you have to love yourself. If you can’t do that then you’ll be wondering why you’re still alone. Then it may just be your personality towards others that stink! Thanks for checking back in with me.

  34. Ah, yes, the dating game! Often times, more like walking a mine field.

    I found finding a perfect soul mate and the perfect person to live with are not necessarily one and the same thing.

    Common goals, respect for each other, supporting each other’s professions is so important. However, when one falls in love, one forgets about all things practical. 

    There should be more education on emotional intelligence. We learn all manner of things in school, but emotional intelligence is overlooked. And yet, the lack of the same is causing us much unhappiness. 

    Because, if we ourselves are not happy by ourselves, nobody else can do this for us. Only when this job is done, one should seek to be in a relationship. We are each responsible for our own feelings and it’s not the other person’s job to make us happy or make life ‘better’ for us. 

    Happy dating!

    1. Hi Alenka. Thanks for checking in. Yes, the dating world and the games played, can sometime be a world-wind of mixed emotions. In relationships, people come and go; later realizing they should not have been together in the first place. I agree Alenka, the practical things goes out the window once the ‘love bug’ hits and you get comfortable with each other. Things change pretty quickly.

  35. Hey Ron,

    I’m married and I have two kids. Why am I reading this article then?

    As I’m married, a lot of my friends ask me how to choose and recognise their other perfect half. They think I have the right answers for them, as me and my wife are still in love with each-other after 10 years of marriage. The truth is I don’t really know the answer or the secret. I’m just lucky enough. 

    From your article I have some fun insights to share with my friends and for sure a place to redirect the interested ones.

    1. Congrats to you Leo for keeping the excitement going after 10 years. You must be doing something right. (lots of couple aren’t even close!) There isn’t any formula or great tips on how to stay with your spouse. It just how compatible you are with your mate. Relationships take time to grow. They have to remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day!

  36. I really liked the pictures and the funny lines you through in when writing the article. There is a lot of useful information that is very practical and easy to apply as long as you have the confidence in yourself. Your writing style is great and very conversational.

    Ron I would love to read about your story and how you found your one true love…

    1. Thanks for checking in with me, tower and your kind compliments. I try my best to entertain my readers by giving them what they want. Hope you found some value in this article. In regards to your question about mr, I met my wife over forty years ago in a Chicago northside bar. We had two daughters together, but in the later years she got sick and died July 2015. (a week after our 37th year anniversary). You can read more on my profile.

  37. finding someone perfect for you is really hard. You may not get the best of everything . I am sure  you have to tolerate some bad behaviours. It is just how much you can take it. If you can’t take it, then don’t do it. Find someone else. Everyone has their good and bad. You just have to find a common balance.

    1. Right Kit. Finding the right person will complete most people’s lives an secure their happiness. But then again, that’s not always the case! Some have what they may think is a perfect mate, but still venture out to seek others. Like you stated Kit; bad behaviour. But don’t deal with it….move on!

  38. Ron, as a single guy myself, I felt like this was a very helpful article. Haha, I am currently looking to get in a relationship so have been trying to find good girls so these are great things to keep in mind. Age is only a number is very true. All the relationships I’ve ever had was with girls who were older than me. You give great tips also to find the girl and maybe keep one as well once you find it. Humor is something I definitely need to work on as I take things too seriously sometimes. Excited to try it out in my next day. Eeek, wish me luck 🙂

    1. Hang in there Parmi. There’s somebody for everyone. When you mentioned the type of women, as far as age, you’ve dealt with, you remind me of my own son. He always end up with older women. (I’m just the opposite, I like them much younger than me.) But Like I always say, age is only a number. A good personality matters most!

  39. Thanks for sharing. I totally agree with you that chemistry is important in a relationship. But for me, the fundamental is about accepting who that person is. To understand a person, sometimes sacrifices are required. But the truth is, many people nowadays refuse to “give” but rather “take” as much as they can. That’s why relationship become fragile. Don’t you think so?

    1. Yes Florence I do agree to a certain extent. All are not ‘takers’. Some look for a ‘level of balance’ within a relationship, but do find the scales of relationship justice tipping in favor of the other party. Those who it favor couldn’t care less about the other person’s feelings. When this happen, it’s time to move on. Please share this article with others.

  40. Just be yourself and have confidence. This is the best advice ever. If you pretend to be somebody that you’re not pretty soon the truth will come out and you’ll be in trouble.

    There is always the right guy for a lady, some say. i believe if you wait and really try to know the other person, you will know in your heart if he’s “the one.”

    Prayer also helps, in God’s perfect timing, you will find each other.

    Marita

    1. You’re right Marita. When the time is right, the right person is bound to appear in your life. God will make the connection. Just have to be patient. Like I mentioned earlier, just being yourself and not ‘over acting’ will go a long ways.

  41. When it’s come to dating, am always extraordinary careful, you have just nailed why am always careful in this article, commitment and trust really matters alot, the worst relationship u can have is when your supposed partner is finding difficult to trust u, even after trusting u, how is he or she ready to be committed to the relationship, dating is not just about rushing to tell someone u love her or him, trust and commitment matters alot, thanks for this article 

    1. Yes my friend, Yormith96. Commitment and honesty does top most folks list. Some couples just stay together for the sake of just being with someone. (They just don’t wanna be lonely). Hell, they may even know their partner is cheating, but just don’t care out of the fear that if they leave, they may not find anyone else. Love is a crazy thing!

  42. I personally feel like you made it a male how to rather than a couple how to.   you have much info yet its like you are making jokes at the expense of a woman.

     For those who appreciate sites and dating games I think you hit right on, if that s what they like, however a woman like my self reading it, I see it a bit chauvinistic and its more of a guide for men to get a date rather than a couples site.

     No disrespect  but it didn’t seem like a dating site. 

    We all have our own beliefs and what not and I just seen it as a negative when it came to women, and my personal opinion on finding that soul mate or that person thats suppose to be the love of your life, I don’t think you can read up on it, I believe that real true love will find you because if it was that easy for one to pick there soulmate to be in love everyone would be there, 

    I think it comes when u least expect it and that you cant just pick up a book, go online, or use  a dating site to find that, now I am sure there are a few people who have experienced that, yet if they were put together by such things then it would be an arranged thing, with one or both families benefiting off the two being one union.

     If that is the case whats the difference in a golddigger and reading up and checking out one that  you are picking?? That still does not constitute for having found love. 

    anyways dude I hope that helps.

    1. Hello Virginia. Thank you for reading my article. I respect any reader comments, and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I guess it’s how you look at the whole concept of dating in general. I agree when you say love just happens at any time between folks. Men and women, over the years regarding ‘hooking up,’ sometime each have their own way of doing things.

      The main challenge between couples is really getting to know each other and making things work as a whole, and within all aspects of the relationship.

  43. As  a single man who would be married in the next few years, I find this really valuable. In fact I find it comprehensively important it has buttressed the simple point which many people do not really care about and may overlook. I have just learnt that you should not be too materialistic in choosing a life partner and at the same time not be too carefree in choosing a life partner. In fact I deduce that all I’s be dotted and all T’s crossed.

    1. Thanks for checking in Oneal. Sounds like you have your marriage plans all set. In regards to love and relationships in general, some folks don’t know what the want. Like you mentioned, some folks like material things and hookup with others just for that reason. I always say money and material things can’t buy happiness.

  44. Dear Ron,

    This is an interesting and helpful post. Thanks for the article I enjoyed it!

    To be honest this is a must read one for every youngsters and teens (For everyone). You have covered all the problems and provided with the solution as well which is awesome.

    As you rightly said there is no true love in many relationship and still they are together making the life as hell for each other. Love is an amazing thing and the greatest thing in this world. The video you embedded is very helpful.

    The scenario you gave scared me and made to afraid lol. I am wondering what I will do and how I will react. Five basic approach you provided is an eye-opener.

    Much Success!

    Paul

    1. Hi Paul, Glad you enjoyed my article. Love can sometime take you through a roller coaster of mixed emotions. Sometimes folks in love don’t know if they’re coming or going. I tried to cover all aspects on the subject’s situations. It’s great being in love and loving someone, than to never have loved at all.

  45. So so many useful tips and tricks all on one page! Wonderful! I bookmarked to look further. This is insightful and I must say the best blog post i have ever read this month is your article. 

    I have been looking for a soulmate over the years but i must tell you your tips and tricks are just like eye opener to me. This is a must for all singles to check on.Thanks for sharing this with us. its well appreciated

    1. Thank you Ola for your kind remarks. I try to “call it the way I see it” when it comes down to dating and relationships. I hope my article help you in your quest on finding that ‘special someone.’ Those tips and tricks never fail and should help all singles out on the hunt!

  46. You are such a good writer, I love the way you passed the message from the first letter to the end. Understanding, trust, and commitment matters in a relationship. I’ve only being in a relationship just once and within 2 months I was already tired of it. We complained about everything (understanding). I’m single now, and I think that “five basic approach” will help. I’m bookmarking this page right away.

    1. Hi fattop. Thanks for the compliment. Never give up so soon! Trust and honesty is key. Sometime I feel at the beginning of any relationship, things take a little time. (Unless there was pure hell right out the gate!)lol. One relationship in two months? You’re probably young, just starting out and have plenty of time to date. I hope I can help u through my website. 

  47. For singles, especially older citizens who through either a partner’s death or simply the death of the relationship are now newly single (and, folks, there’s more and more of them every day) getting back into the dating game can be pretty scary.

    The first part of your article reinforces this.

    Your scenario of seeing your current dating partner appear on America’s Most Wanted and turn out to have a warrant out for their arrest on suspicion of murder in three states is undoubtedly humorous, but you can imagine plenty of similar situations. Not that drastic, but a wake-up call nonetheless.

    But you follow that up with five really great pieces of advice to use as a template for one single to approach another.

    Your second point about humor is spot on. Everyone loves someone who can make them laugh. In the original Alfie movie, Michael Caine says “if you can make a married woman laugh, you’re halfway into her bed.”

    Having confidence is so true as well. A confident person (not to be confused with arrogant) is always respected. I see you’ve got a link to The Confident Man Project. I think I’ll go take a look.

    Thanks, Ron.

    1. Thank you my friend Phil. I’m glad you enjoyed my site. Yes, relationships can be a roller coaster of emotions. The beginning of your letter hit home for me on a personal level. I lost my wife in July, 2015 after 37 years of marriage. ( I was 66 and found myself back out in the dating world). A strange arena to function for me. It’s been over three years now. Time heals all wounds. Thanks for checking in and check out the link. Very helpful and useful information).

  48. Age, within reason, truly doesn’t matter.  The love of my life was 25 when we met and I was 42.  We had 17 beautiful years and four children together, so that’s what I’m saying.  In fact, everyone actually thought he was older than me.  LOL!  I guess I just don’t grow up ha ha!  Now I’m single and older, and well, things are a lot different than they were when I was younger.  There just aren’t that many fish in the sea at my age, so I’ll probably be looking at younger guys once again.  So many men my age are just out of shape, and I’m a health nut and I am extremely fit, not to toot my own horn, but I work at it diligently in what I eat and my exercise routines. 

    1. Wow Babsie, sound like you really got it going on! I imagine you can get anyone at this point in your life. At least, you got 17 years out of your first marriage. Staying in shape is a great start to attract the new ‘man of your dreams.’

      As far as the ‘fish in the sea’ goes, it all depends on what you do and where you go. Just keeping yourself looking good and available is what’s ‘key.’ Babsie, you’ll do just fine. You know what you want.

  49. Thank you for the article on how to select a compatible mate. You Make a very good point on what people consider to be hindrances and that both sexes suffer from a lot of the same ones. This is very good information for single guys. If we could all put in to practice what you suggest no guy would be single. I think it is having the confidence which is the tough part for both sexes. Thanks again for the tips I will start using them right away. 

    1. Yes Geoffrey, confidence is needed above everything else just to get the ball rolling. We all need confidence to approach someone to start some type of relationship. Once the relationship starts, next comes trust and honesty. Some folks start cheating right out the gate!!

      I hope this article will help not only single men, but both sexes. Everybody needs love!

  50. The YouTube video is hilarious! But hey! Somedays on that time of the month I can be a drama queen ok? Don’t judge me, it’s my hormones running wild!

    Anyways, I actually met my husband on a dating site 9 years ago called Plenty Of Fish. As a single girl 9 years ago in NYC can be lonely at times. Lets be honest meet a guy at the bar did not work out either in my opinion, we were both under the influence of alcohol. That was why I turned into online dating.

    I did not expect much in the beginning. Back then my priority was my career, the rent was crazy in Manhattan and forget about the cost of living. Something magically happened though, we both took our time and slowly got to know each other.

    We were dating for 2 years and decided to move in together and it turned out to be the best thing. I can say now that we are happily(good days and bad days) married for 5 years but we have been together for 8 years.

    Of course it took me too many dates to find my husband John, but there is still hope out there people. I believe that if you do not rush into things and taking your time learning about the other person that person can be your soulmate. 

    Love your style of writing, you are funny! Great post will share it to my single friends 🙂

    1. Hi Nuttanee and congrats to you on successfully finding your soulmate. What you said was ‘key’ in regards to ‘people not rushing into things.’ That’s a recipe for disaster when couples get serious too soon; way before they get to know each other. It takes time to find your true ‘soulmate.’ I always say there’s somebody for everybody, just don’t set your standards too high.
