How To Find Love: 3 Simple Steps

3. Live a happy life.

There is no better way to attract people than to live a life you enjoy. Often we hear people say that you'll find love "when you stop looking" or "when you least expect it."

You'll be comfortable and happy, and you'll be presenting yourself in the best possible light.

When I recently found myself in a great relationship with a great guy, I wondered how it all happened. I realized that meeting him was much more than being in the same place at the same time. I went out that night feeling good about myself and my newly implemented plan to get out more. I was wearing my new jacket and had a great new haircut. I was genuinely enjoying myself, and I'm sure he picked up on that when he started talking to me.

After our first date I realized he wasn't exactly what was on my checklist, but I knew I felt great being around him.

I can’t stop thinking about this last episode of GIRLS, the Season 2 finale in which everyone ends up happy. Adam rescues Hannah. Charlie takes back a crazy Marnie. Shoshana finds a new hot blonde to enjoy. And, of course, Jessa is off “living it up, wearing a crop top.” It reminds me of how I felt when I first listened to One Direction music ... Read more

5 Questions NOT To Ask Her On A First Date

By

I’m often surprised by the questions guys ask me on a first date. Some questions are too personal, and some questions seem to better fit a census than a date.
