Are You Sitting Back & Waiting For 'The One?'

There is a whole movement called the "attraction principle." Have you heard about the secret? It's about tapping into your thoughts to energetically attract the right people and the life of your dreams. It's one thing to sit back and wish for that someone special to show up in your life and it's another to take some proactive steps to meet that right person you so desire to build your life with! This is my dating success formula!

Actually, I call it "Proactive Attraction." One of my top dating tips is strategically to put yourself in places and situations that you are going to align with the type of people with who you will connect. You can't just sit home nor do the same things you have always done and expect to meet someone to date and eventually fall in love with. 7 Signs You Need Help Finding Love

Another one of my dating tips is that you need to obtain a greater awareness about yourself where you get to know yourself better and gain some clarity around why you are dating in the first place and who would be a great match for you. Also, be really honest with yourself about what has been stopping you from moving forward and meeting the right one. This takes some tough evaluation of your internal and external roadblocks. Help!

Next, you have to have a plan and take action! So, my next dating tip is that you need to put some energy and thought into where you are most likely to meet Mr. or Ms. Right. Here you may need to stretch yourself in the right direction. My coaching philosophy is that you need to have an online (online dating sites and beyond) and offline (meeting face to face first) plan that is tailored to your personality, life goals and core relationship values.

What I have observed is online dating is a great vehicle to test this theory about proactive attraction. You can describe exactly who you are looking for given your particular circumstances (i.e., single parent dating or never married desiring a family); describe your relationship values that are important to you and your relationship vision. It's important that your life partner be on aligned with all the above. Then, you can attract the right people to your profile to get to know!
