Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could confidently tell you that we’ve discovered the 100-percent foolproof, best way to meet the love of your life? If we could, we would. And although some paths fair better than others, everyone’s love story is different. The best we can do is offer some time-honored advice, through our experience as a matchmaking service with a proven track record of success.
Let It Happen Organically
This is the perfect scenario, right? Like a movie scene, the person of your dreams walks into the coffee shop, dripping wet from the rain but haloed in an angelic glow. Your eyes meet, and before you know it, you’re living happily ever after. Believers in romance ourselves, we don’t doubt that these “love-at-first-sight” moments have happened.
However, unfortunately this type of love story happens more often in the movies than in real life. In most cases, the search for love requires a little boost to get off the ground. Still, love has been known to bloom organically, and a lot of times it happens when you aren’t looking for it or trying to force it. However, this method requires patience and a bit of luck. If you want to take more control of your love life, then the methods below might be the better option for those who simply cannot wait another minute to meet that special someone.
Get Social
If your ideal Saturday night is staying home and silencing the phone, then don’t feel confused as to why your life partner has yet to show up. Plain and simple, if you want to meet someone, then you must put yourself out there. Let your friends know you are searching and ready, and they will happily spend a night out on the town with you as you begin your pursuit of true love.
You can also look to attend after-hour work events or take a cooking class intended for singles—get creative and get social. There are a lot of meetup groups available online that help connect people who share similar interests. These groups are intended for friendship, but many people end up meeting the love of their life through friends or begin a beautiful friendship that turns into more.
In today’s world, there are plenty of options for getting social. Get involved in social media. Don’t let it run your life, though; simply have a presence. Chatting here and there with old friends and new ones alike can lead to meeting more people. Remember, the wider your network of people, the more chances you have of meeting new connections.
Dating Apps
If this idea makes you cringe, we don’t blame you. Dating apps are overloaded and a bit hard to trust. We don’t consider them the best way to meet your life partner; however, you can’t overlook them as an option since there are certainly people who meet their significant other this way.
Do some research and take your pick of several apps on the market, and then dive in. But swipe wisely and always meet safely in a public place if you do go on a date. Also, don’t share too much personal information (like your address, or place of work) until you feel you can trust someone you’ve met on a dating app.
Take Chances
Life is full of risks, with love being the greatest of them all. What if that coworker who smiles at you daily and melts your heart is the one? Or the person at the gym who loves to climb the rock wall as fast as you do? You won’t know until you take the brave step of asking them on a date. Love can blossom anywhere, so leave nothing to assumption. Wherever or whoever it is, when your gut says yes, it’s best to listen and explore the connection further.
Matchmaking Service
For the sophisticated and elite, nothing compares to a matchmaking service that has the ability to cater to your every need when it comes to finding the partner you desire.
An excellent matchmaker will get to know you well, listening carefully to what you want in a romantic relationship. Your love life is as important to your matchmaker as it is to you, and that’s what makes matchmaking unique. It is a personalized experience that greatly increases your chances and opportunity for meeting the love of your life.
If you’re looking to eliminate time-wasting and unvetted dates, matchmaking is an excellent way to begin your love story.
Enjoy Dating
Sure, you’re dating for the purpose of finding true love. But while doing so, enjoy the process. If you’re tense and desperate, it will be apparent and leave the other person feeling uncomfortable and uninterested. Every time you go on a date, take a deep breath, and remember that this is simply part of the journey. Your love is out there waiting for you, and each date is bringing you closer.
Prepare for the Love of Your Life To Show Up
While you wait, take care of yourself, because when you meet “the one” you will want to be at your best. Stay in shape with regular exercise, eat healthy foods and form good habits. You’ll be thankful you’ve taken care of yourself so that you can give your relationship 100% when you finally meet your partner. Working on yourself first is vital in setting yourself up for success when it comes to dating. People are attracted to other people who have their life put together.
Know What You Want
This is one of the toughest questions to answer—what do you want in a partner? If you can’t answer it, then you may not be ready. Fortunately, there is a way to find out though. It starts with getting to know yourself first.
You’ll never know what you need in a partner if you don’t first get to truly understand who you are as a person. The only way to do this is to fall in love with yourself first before you love someone else. Loving yourself looks something like this:
- You allow yourself rest when you need it and you listen to your body
- You make self-care a priority
- You confidently say no when you genuinely don’t want to do something
- You treat yourself to things you love
- You can handle being alone
- You set goals and work hard to achieve them, even when it’s just for you
Get yourself to this place in life before you go looking for love. That way, when it comes along, not only will you be ready, but your partner will know they’ve found someone rare and special.
In conclusion, there are many ways to search for love purposefully. Use them with the knowledge that timing is everything, and your life partner may show up when you least expect it. Also, remember that finding your life partner includes being ready for when it happens. Love yourself and focus on your career and health so that you can offer your love the best version of yourself.
