How NOT to Meet Mr. Right (Part 2 – Lessons Learned)

1 Comment

A beautiful woman is on a date with a man.
Here's what I learned about the search for Mr. Right.

Remember that relationship (or whatever it was) I was just telling you about?

Well, rather than looking at experiences like that as yet another failed attempt at love (and yes, that was only one in a long series of relationships that weren't love), here’s how I've learned to look at them: as learning experiences – on the road to true love.

Because really, that’s what they are.

Yes, sometimes I used to think it would be nice to skip the bad experiences and go straight to the real thing, but the reality is, sometimes we have a lot of things to learn.

And it’s those same experiences that make us the person we are.Continue Reading

How NOT to Meet Mr. Right. (Part 1)

He wasn't Mr. Right.

This is the story of Mike, the fire fighter.

And me.

And our relationship.

Now we all know there’s just something about a firefighter, right? The big strong hero, who lives to save people, and is coming to save us too. They’re special. And if they like us, then that must mean we’re really special. We’ve really been chosen.

Or so we think.

Or at least so I thought.

After all, it was the beach. Where better for fate to bring him and me together. Sand, surf, sun and all of the endless romantic possibilities they represent. Continue Reading

Radiant, Confident, Beautiful YOU! Part 2

Here's how you get there.

I’m guessing you might be wondering just how we get to that place where you actually feel radiant, confident and beautiful.

It begins by asking yourself some basic questions that you may not have thought about before.

Like what do you like to do?

I mean, what do you really like to do. Not what you like to do because you think a guy will like you if you like to do it.

What would you choose to do with your time if there were no men in the world?

Sometimes it helps to think about what you don’t think you can do or have been told you can’t do.

Especially what you’ve been told you can’t do.Continue Reading

Radiant, Confident, Beautiful YOU! Part 1

It's time to start living the way you were meant to!

I’ve got some breaking news for you; you don’t need a guy to live your life.

You don’t need a guy to have a world to fit into. You don’t need a guy to feel like you can start living. It’s what you choose to make of it.

You can keep waiting, hoping for the right guy to hurry up and come along and rescue you from your current life because you think it’s easier to find yourself in someone else’s ready-made life than make one of your own.

But the price you pay for that is your self-esteem, your worth, your confidence, your you.

Did someone forget to tell you that you can be anything you want to be? You can! You can do anything, be anything, achieve anything, if you believe in yourself that you can.

Hear me on this one.

The only reason that you can’t do something is because you don’t believe you can! Do you get that?Continue Reading

Sometimes you need to hear it from someone else.

Remember the last post when we were talking about how it all begins with you? Well, I’ve got more to say about that.

About how to get there when that’s the last thing you’re feeling. And you’re not sure how to begin.

I’ll tell you how it began for me.

I met with my therapist and explained to him that I was so tired of repeating the same patterns over and over again, and how I was thinking there must be something I was missing in my search for my soul mate. Some kind of key that would unlock the mystery and reveal to me the secret to finally finding my true love.

The answer he gave me was so simple and honest. Continue Reading

It Begins With You!

You have it all in you!

If you’re anything like me, you know what it’s like to always be looking for that elusive secret.

Trying to figure out what you’re missing to finally get it right. To finally find and be found by the guy that would be the right one for you.

Or at least the guy who would be the right guy to enjoy a real relationship with.

Because like you probably are, I was so tired of finding myself in dead-end relationships over and over again. It took me a long time, too, to finally attract the right kind of guy into my life. No matter how many books I’d read or advice columns I’d found.

In looking back, I realize that what was eluding me was simpler than anything I was making it out to be.Continue Reading
