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

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

Radiant, Confident, Beautiful YOU! Part 2

Beautiful, confident woman laying in the grass smiling. — 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

Shallow

For me, it was all about the kind of car he drove.

Cars.

El Caminos. Corvettes. You name it.

I have a confession to make. I was really really shallow when it came to what kind of car a guy drove.

Like it was a deal breaker.

Crazy, I know, but it was. For some reason, it just really mattered. Like the guy who drove the El Camino.

You know, that half-car, half-pickup truck contraption that must have been popular at one time or another.

Well, it wasn’t in the nineties when I went on a date with a guy who drove one of those, and while he was attractive and charming and had a number of other great qualities, he, well, he had that car.Continue Reading

The Things We Do For Love

A woman skiing out of control down a steep slope. — This is how I wound up on a roof...

Why we do them, no one knows. But if we think it’s love, we’ll try it.

Because they’re into skiing and we want to do things with them and we just know it’ll be easy to pick it up.

No, no, no! Do not do this.

I learned this one the hard way. And ended up on the roof. Of a shed. On the slopes.

It was supposed to be skiing on the trails, and not scary. But, in my enthusiasm for my new beau, I neglected to mention that I had never skied before, and in fact, found the whole thing a little scary.

But I, the ever idealistic pleaser, was sure it would work itself out.

Right.

So there we were. Of course I looked the part in my expensive sexy snow bunny suit, so I figured that would make it all work out. I’d look so good it wouldn’t matter that I didn’t really ski (at least not well).Continue Reading

Letting Go

It’s hard to let go of a dream.

Even harder to let go when we still believe the dream might still come true. Someday.

So we hang on.

A little longer. Or maybe a lot longer.

Because it was everything in the beginning. It seemed like the beginning of that perfect relationship.

The real thing. He seemed like everything we were looking for. He seemed to be in it as much as we were. But then everything changed. And he’s not in it like he used to be. And we are.

So here we are.

Still hoping. Still hanging on. To that dream.Continue Reading
