How You CAN Meet Your Match

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Meeting Your Match

Are you thinking that you are ready to meet your match? We picked up some tips from Dr. Jackie Black that I know you can use for successful dating.

First on the list is SELF Knowledge. Knowing what your needs are, what your values are, what you find humorous, your temperament and everything else that is
important to you.

Putting too much emphasis on what the other person thinks, make a point to find out how you “feel” in their presence and not what you think about it.

There is no need to put on a mask, or be a dating CHAMELEON in order to impress someone. Learn to be authentic, speak your truth, willing to risk, and be accepted for who You are. Forget if they like you, do you like them?

Eliminating self doubt. Realizing that it is actually “impossible” for a total stranger to reject you. We are all so hung up on rejection, how much are we missing out on? Someone might decide that you aren’t a match for you and you can also do the same. So they aren’t really rejecting -You just deciding that certain aspects aren’t a match and that’s OK.

Realize that a real match isn’t going to happen that often. Not that many people are going to be right for us so it is actually a bit of relief to know and expect that ahead of time and when we do find that special match it makes it that much better.

How powerful are you, can you “make” someone like you, can you make them sad or happy. We really can’t and are only responsible for our own actions and emotions.

Having a vision for a relationship, are you willing to make agreements, commitments, negotiate, and be flexible as well. Realize who you are going to BE, strengthen the parts of your self, get grounded, work on your own emotional intelligence and you will be the best match that some one will find.

There is know such thing as being too picky when it comes to what you want. Giving up and giving in only tells yourself that you don’t really deserve what you want. Self knowledge first and then partner knowledge is the key.

Are You Ready To Be Lucky In LOVE

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Are You Ready To Be Lucky In Love

So do you think that in any way it’s harder to find a mate today than let’s say ten years ago?

I think it might be, I think we all as a society have higher expectations and the older people get and the more times they’ve been through serious relationships, either a marriage or a long term committed relationship, the more clear we get on what we don’t want, and then what we do expect, and we get a little bit jaded with life sometimes.

I was reading an article in the Wall street journal a few weeks ago, and they were talking about how people meet, it used to be that many met, in college, and got married. That doesn’t mean that you’re the wisest at the time, and that that whole biological thing is going and you go off and get married and make babies, create a career. And even the young people, they’re so focused on getting the right education so they can get the right job; they’re not going into serious relationships, so even they don’t have the skills when they get out of college. And they start flailing around.

So now it’s common for people not to get married until they’re in their thirties or forties. And the problem, one of the problems is we spend so much time at our work that we don’t get out and meet other people. And dating someone at work is not a good idea, because more often than not they don’t work out, and then you have this problem of working with someone you’ve broken up with.

Here are just a few quick tips:

Make a list. Rather than just settling for what comes your way develop an idea of the qualities that you would like. This can be just for starters and your list can change and be refined over time. You might find that your perceived “ideal” is not what you really want at all. Be willing to meet people that you think aren’t your type.

Be Open. Learn to be friendly and open in all situations. Being guarded and standoffish won’t draw people in. Adopt a spirit of goodwill. Try to be warm and have a ready smile, you never know who might be just around the corner.

Get out of your comfort zone. Yes, you can meet people online, but get out of the house, get active. Sign up for a new class, take a trip, make new friends, network. Many people have meet a great match through friends or family. You never
know which one of your contacts might know some one that might be perfect for you.

Attention. Allow yourself to be fully present, look them straight in the eye as you’re listening. Really listen instead of waiting just for your turn to jump in and say what you need to say. It will make a big difference.

Honoring the other person. When we do that, really we’re honoring ourselves by being the right type of person

Build rapport. Building rapportt is to imagine that heart to heart connection, so that you’re really present with them. Focus on being a good listener. The best conversationalist is a good listener. And when you do say something, ask good questions. Ask questions that are designed to help reveal what the other persons’ interest aret without grilling them. They’re fun; they’re supposed to be fun.

Learn to be happy with yourself. Life is too short and there are plenty of ways to create a really beautiful life we can celebrate without a partner. And actually, if we’re really honest, we need to get to that point before we find a partner.

Appreciate. When you do meet someone learn to appreciate them just as they are. Realize, the he’s or she is not perfect, thinking that once we’re married, or once we’re a solid couple, I can change this that and the other about them “The home improvement project.” doesn’t apply to people.

Realize. Relationships are about growth for both partners. We learn, grow, and become our best self through our relationships with others.

Believe. Believe that you will succeed and you will. Take some positive actions and see what happens. So being lucky in love might not be so much about luck as being aware, and willing to possibly make some small changes in how we look at things and what actions we can take.

Making Your Dating List

Making Your Dating List And Checking It Twice

By Sharyn Abbott

Why should you make a list? Let me ask you, what do you think you’ll attract if you are never specific about what you do want?

Let me tell you about a friend of mine that ended up dating for more than 8 years, eagerly searching for Mr. Right and always finding Mr. Wrong. She constantly told me about these nightmare dates, but bless her heart, she never gave up or gave in and accepted someone in her life that was less than who she truly deserved.

She moved to the Bay Area in 1990 from Seattle, WA and I met her about six months after she moved to California. She was already disappointed at how much harder it was to meet people here than Seattle so I took her to a business event where I was able to introduce her to about 50 business associates that I knew personally.

I asked each one if they knew of a great man that was looking for a great woman for a committed relationship. The same evening, I took her to one of the busiest dance clubs and introduced her to another 20 singles. After each introduction I would ask if anyone might know of someone that she could date. I always specifically defined the attributes that she was looking for.

Her ideal date would have been divorced at least 2 years, not dating currently, has 2 to 4 kids, working at a professional job and has a lot of friends.

What we did during the next few weeks was to detail a complete list of preferences: what her interests were, what activities she liked to do, her favorites in every category and the complete list of everything she did not like in a man or more precisely her list of “will not tolerate” items. Fortunately that list was short, but it did include a man not having to watch football every weekend during the season.

It took about six months, but she finally found her match and they were married within a year from after they met. It’s been about ten years now and they are still very much in love and feel like they’re still dating and have the time of their lives!

If you’d like to find that someone special, your best friend and your soul mate, you Make Your List of priorities. The more specific the better you can always revise it and add or delete items, but getting clear about what you want it the first step towards receiving it. Often the little things that might not seem like a big deal turn out
to be the most frustrating or irritating. So learn to choose well.

Making First Dates More Enjoyable and Fun

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

What is The BEST type of first date?

Most people are usually nervous when it comes to their
first dates. This can make you look like someone who had
taken gallons of coffee before the date. It’s ok to be excited but your dates should be fun and not a source of stress.

Usually, first dates are spent in places where you can sit
and talk with your date in order to know each other better.

Some go to the movies, have some coffee at the local coffee
house, or the classic dinner date in an expensive restaurant so as to impress their dates.

Dates like these just need a little jump-start to be more
effective. Sometimes the “awkward silence” comes about and you are just left staring at the door.

Some people like to get right to the bottom of things and ask alot of questions. It seems like a pretty direct way to go and may save you alot of time narrowing down the field. As everyone is different, I wouldn’t like this approach myself.

It’s true sometimes we do like someone after getting to know them and sometimes we don’t. I am sure you have experienced this.

OK here is the suggestion for the best type of first date. Do something PHYSICAL. By that I mean an activity where you can go and do something together.

Here are the reasons. One, you can avoid the typical date and do something different. Everyone like a bit of adventure and your date will be memorable no matter what you do.

Two, when you interact with someone this way you actually can learn more about them than you could just be talking.

Three, getting your body moving and stimulating your brain will actually release the feel good hormones that your brain craves and the experience will be anchored to you. Also, having some incidental body contact is built into the experience.

I know you’re smart and can think of ideas on your own, but here are a few to get you started. Some may get you excited and some won’t, but you’d be surprised how much fun you can have even doing simple things like bowling for example-if you approach it the right way.

Skating, or Rollerskating, rollerbladeing.
Mountain climbing, or hiking,
Swimming or walking on the beach
Bike riding
Walking, running, or working out
Shop and cook a meal together
Dancing, or dance lessons
Rent a boat, canoe, or sailboat, go fishing
Play basketball or volleyball
Go to a sporting event
Play laser tag or Paintball

Try adding some adventure or do a set of enjoyable activities together in order to have fun with your dates. Another aspect is that you can do these activities for a few hours and find out if you like the person, then if all goes well you can plan more activities for your second and third date.
