Attract, Keep And Marry The
Love Of Your Life!

When you’re going on a first date, it’s always best to look on the bright side and have a positive attitude. Let’s face it, it’s nerve-racking and stressful dealing with the pressure of meeting a man for a first date, especially if you’ve met him online.  You really don’t know what to expect when you meet in person, and either does he.

Of course you’re going to be concerned with making a good impression, but if you can maintain an attitude of expecting the best, it will make a big difference on how the date turns out.

Wanting to impress a man can distract you from what’s most important and what you need to be paying attention to. Your main concern should not be if he’s going to like you or not, it’s how you’re going to feel about him.

My best dating advice is to start out with the right attitude, you will be much more likely to have a good dating experience.

M0st men are willing and ready to fulfill your expectations. If you set them too low, he’ll most likely meet them. If you allow him to get away with poor behavior, like treating you badly by being rude or inappropriate, you will only get more of it.

My dating advice: Hold him to a higher standard and he’ll meet it!

You will meet men who just don’t care about how they’re coming off, it’s unavoidable. But bottom line a good man will want to please and impress you, especially if he’s interested in seeing you again. He will look for signs of what you need and want and try to provide those things for you.

Your attitude going into the dating experience will make all the difference. First impressions are made in the first 3 seconds. [continue reading…]

I’d like to spare you the disappointment of getting your hopes up over a man who’s going to waste your time, get you to fall for him and then leave.

This can be one of the biggest relationship mistakes you can make. You can find out early on which men are really looking to marry you and have a future with you and avoid a lot of heartache. You won’t be making the mistake of giving up your freedom to a man who only wants to use you.

If you become physical with a man too soon, it will be harder to discern his true intentions. The physical intimacy will cloud your ability to see his motivations clearly and you can end up mistaking sexual interest for love.

Here are some warning signs that he’s not in it for the long haul:

• Your dates fall into a rigid pattern of having dinner and going to bed. There’s no deviation from this routine and little if any interaction with other people. You start to feel that you’re expected to go to bed with him every time you see him, as though his buying you dinner gives him the right to go home with you.

• When he calls for a date, it’s always at the last minute. He expects you to be available to see him whenever he wants. He has plenty of excuses why he can’t plan ahead and you only get together when it’s convenient for him. He won’t [continue reading…]

I plead guilty!

Oh my goodness, the mistakes I made while trying to find the perfect man to marry! Just to be clear about the word perfect — of course no one is ‘perfect’ — what I’m referring to is the perfect man for you.

I must say that when I was younger I didn’t think I had a problem finding the perfect man; who ever I was with was perfect. That is until we broke up and then he wasn’t Mr. Right anymore. I certainly could have used some dating advice at that time, but I didn’t think I had a problem.

I was going with the flow, getting involved with men I was attracted to without giving it a second thought. I didn’t think ahead to consequences; I just thought I knew what I wanted in a man and went for it.

I got away with this for so long because I kept friends around me who supported me rather than challenging me. I handpicked girlfriends who like me were experiencing lots of drama in their relationships with men. Like me they avoided self-reflection and taking responsibility for their dating experiences.

I never gave a second thought to how I was showing up as a woman, I was looking for a great guy and that’s where I put my focus.  This was my how I approached dating and men for many years.

Of course all of the men I chose, except for a few, were men who wouldn’t or couldn’t commit to a real relationship. Even when I knew their horrible relationship history I still [continue reading…]
