Finding your YOU that leads to TWO

Dress Rehearsal

Leave a Comment

A man and a woman peek out from behind a curtain on a stage.
Treat this time like it's a dress rehearsal for the real thing.

I remember how sad I was when I first heard the news from my best friend. She told me she was getting divorced.

You might remember her – she was my married friend who I, single and so very alone, would often spend Christmas with, wishing I had her perfect life.

Her life so complete, with the husband, kids, house and family dog, doing all of the things happy families do. The kinds of things that I could only dream about back then.

Well, as happy and perfect as they seemed back then, in the end she and her husband got divorced. It came as such a shock to me; my friend with the perfect life that’s no longer perfect. Continue Reading

How Doing ONE Thing Differently Can Bring LOVE Into Your Life

6 Comments

A beautiful smiling woman is loving her life.
If you can just do this one thing, you can't help but attract love into your life.

I’ve learned many things since my single days.  Some are things that I regret doing and wish that I had done differently, and some are things that I regret not doing in the first place. 

It’s this second group that leaves your body aching with the painful regret of missed opportunities, of what could have been.

If I could go back and do one thing differently, it would be that I would have chosen consciously to always do what I love doing.  You see, when you love what you are doing, you are loving life.Continue Reading

The Absolute Best Place to Meet Mr. Right

The stereotypical places to meet men are not always the best. A view of a strip of bars and restaurants.
The stereotypical places to meet men are not necessarily the best.

We've all read articles or heard about the supposedly great places to meet men – places like the gym, the supermarket, the dog park, and of course the age old meeting place, the bar.

In my dating days, if I saw one of these lists with something on there I hadn’t tried yet I immediately made plans to try it the next chance I got.

I remember when I first heard that the grocery store was a great place to meet men.

What did I do?

I headed for the grocery store. During the hours of 7-9 PM. Because that was when they (whoever that particular they authority happened to be at the time) said was the most likely time to meet single men in grocery stores.Continue Reading

Are You Too Understanding?

13 Comments

A woman stands in front of her boyfriend scratching her head, wondering if she's too understanding.
There's a reason he loves how understanding you are.

I was thinking about the last post Why Won’t He Commit? 7 Things You Can Do to Move Things Along, and I realized that there’s a common theme I’m seeing among those of us who hang around far too long, waiting for a guy to come around and commit to us.

You know, the one we’re convinced could be the love of our lives if he would just come to his senses and realize that he doesn’t want to lose the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

Tell me if this doesn’t sound familiar. You’re so understanding. You understand.

I understand. It’s understandable. Do you hear that? Understanding. We’re all just so understanding!Continue Reading

Why Won't He Commit? 7 Things You Can Do to Move Things Along

561 Comments

A beautiful woman on a pier with her boyfriend in the background, upset because he won't commit.
What do I do to make him want what I want?

There’s a very common scenario that seems to happen to all of us at one time or another, and sometimes over and over again.

We end up in a relationship with a guy that has tons of potential, IF he would just commit!

And the dilemma is always - how long to wait it out to see if he truly IS going to come around?  Or are we just wasting our time? Or, what if you've finally had enough, and decide to move on right before he was about to come around?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions because we are such a hopeful group.  The bottom line is that what we’re really asking is how do we know if he’ll ever commit?

When I was doing some soul searching on this subject, I realized that this was my own number one reason for being single as long as I was. I wasted so much time and energy - especially time – waiting. Waiting for a guy to come around. Waiting and waiting for him to commit.Continue Reading

He'd Be Great, if Only...The Truth About How to Fix Him

4 Comments

A woman stands with a tool belt and tools symbolizing trying to fix her boyfriend.
Is it possible to "fix" him?

We’ve all been there – he’s the perfect guy, except…

Some of these complaints are relatively minor; he throws his sweaty workout underwear on top of your bath towel, or he leaves the razor stubble all over the bathroom sink without rinsing it down.

And some are much more serious, such as infidelity, physical abuse, or substance abuse.

As far as the second category goes, as long as marriage and children are not yet involved, it’s best to walk away and stay away. If a man cheats, it does not usually get better with time; in fact it typically gets worse. If he’s done it once, and you stay with him, he knows he can get away with it and it will most likely happen again when the opportunity presents itself.Continue Reading
