Most single women at one point or other have experienced the difficulty of meeting a guy or even finding a guy they like. Let’s face it, there are work hours, friends to meet up with and chat to, family to consider and keep in touch with, and all the little bits and pieces you have to do on a daily basis. They all take up time.

What are some of the secrets to finding Mr Right? Try these few tips for solutions. Some are apparent but are you doing them?

1. Open the front door and get outside! It doesn’t really matter what the plan is here just get out and do something. Some great relationships have started in the supermarket. I haven’t met anyone yet who met their partner while wandering around the kitchen.
2. Always look your best as much as possible. You’ll be surprised when Mr Cute turns up. I know a number of friends who met their guy walking the dog in the park. The bus stop is another. When he does turn up, you’ll want to be looking your best is my point. One of my customers met her husband while cycling around the block.
3. Online dating is now very popular. Yes I know there are millions of dating sites and that poses a problem. Type in ‘dating site reviews’ in Google. There are (thankfully) pretty nifty review sites (Sage-Hearts.com is one of those sites) that make that task pretty easy now as some of you already know. When you sign up to a few (yes a few) make sure you give an honest profile. Read the safety articles on dating - there are many available. They’ll make you feel a lot more secure and you’ll be able to carry out secure dating correspondence in no time. Once you’ve set your profile, the chances are high that you’ll find someone who has the same interests you have. Email exchange via the site usually is the next step. If you haven’t already, give it a shot, you’ll be impressed.
4. Community involvement is another avenue where there is regular success with finding a partner. There are so many different organizations and volunteer type work where you can meet others it’s almost overwhelming. You can simply type in the words volunteer work into Google and your suburb and you’ll most likely have more results than you can handle.
5. Join a tennis or a golf club. If neither of those meet your fancy, look up the department of recreation in your area. There are too many sporting choices to mention here.
6. One thing that can become disappointing and is most often the cause of failure when you do find Mr Right, is not knowing what to do or say. Even attracting attention is a skill along with encouraging someone to like you.

To increase your chances of success, here’s a free down-loadable guide or report which will increase your chances of GETTING A GUY TO LIKE YOU TEN FOLD.

Whatever you choose to do, be sure to have fun! That’s the best way to meet fun and interesting people. Good luck and happy dating!

Signing up and posting your personal profile at ONE dating service is good, 2 is better… but how about covering ALL your bases?

You can do that nicely with FriendFinder’s wide range of online dating sites listed below:

1. Adult FriendFinder
2. ALT.com
3. Amigos.com
4. Asia FriendFinder

14. Italian FriendFinder
15. Korean FriendFinder
16. MillionaireMate
17. OutPersonals
18. Passion

20. Senior FriendFinder

So, for example, you might post a profile at FriendFinder, but if you are Asian and over 50 years of age, consider posting profiles at both Senior FriendFinder and Asia FriendFinder as well.

If you’re still looking for that special someone it really pays to maximize your exposure through online dating services.

When I began meeting men in person I was very concerned about my safety. I set the following rules for myself …

I always verified their name and employment – without them knowing. During the phone conversation I would be sure to get their first and last name and where they worked. Then I would look up their work either online or in my local phone book. I would phone up and say “May I please speak to so and so.”

I always got their phone number and called them at least once. That way I knew that whoever had that phone number somehow knew whom I talked to.

I always met them at a public place for breakfast. Usually at a Denny’s restaurant that was a block away from my best friend..

I left the following information with my friend:

• Name of person I was meeting
• The home number I had
• Their place of employment
• What kind of car they had (I asked for this info before meeting so I could be on the look out for a blue Honda or whatever.)
• What time we were meeting. If I didn’t call my friend within 1 hour of meeting time she was instructed to call the police.

Naturally you can always do a background check on them. And with the information you slyly gather they never have to know.

I was never in a hurry to meet anyone. You can really get to know a lot about someone through emails and phone calls. Ask them the same questions at different times and different ways.

Let’s say they told you they are a machinist at xyz company – on one of your next conversation you might say “So how long have you worked at ZYX?” to see if they correct you. Or ask them what they like about being a machinist etc.

I was amazed by some of the emails I received while I was a member of Matchmaker. At the time I was a single Mom of 2 teen-agers and making $9. /hour as a receptionist (and I smoked). I received an email from a supposedly high paid top notch attorney who detested smoking, saying how much we had in common. This sent up red flags so I just replied that I was not interested.

Be safe out there – Hey guys this means for you too. I don’t know what the statistics are, but men can be at risk too. My husband is 6’3” and weighs 300 pounds – yet he also practiced safety rules. He said you never knew if a woman might be working with some one who could sneak up behind him, knock him over the head and rob him.

Listen to your gut feeling. If something doesn’t feel quite right, it probably isn’t. Have your own set of rules before meeting in person for the first time – STAY SAFE!!!

Act I, Scene I: The house party
The party appears to be a success. Dozens of trendy-looking men and women in provocative attire are chatting and flirting; a few are gyrating self-consciously in the corner. Everyone seems to be having a good time… except for you.

You’re starting to feel like the ugly duckling. You came here hoping to find a beautiful swan, but you haven’t even managed to get within squawking distance. The problem lies in deciding how to strike up a conversation. How do you begin without sounding cheesy or friendless? Though you’re sure people would like you if they just gave you a chance, how do you signal that you are available?

You’re sitting home alone again tonite and getting that nagging feeling that it might just be time to head on for greener pastures.

But how do you really know when it’s the right time to trade in that boyfriend for a puppy?

Let’s face facts, guys: When it comes to knowing what women want, a good-sized percentage of the time, we’re pretty dense. But when it comes to online dating, our density levels enter the red zone — mainly because we have no idea how our material is going over. We have no visual or audio clues. We don’t know if the words we wrote are making her laugh or groan.

I’m essentially as dense as the rest of you, but I spend more time thinking about online dating than the average bear, and being an altruistic chap, I’m going to impart my wisdom (such as it is) upon my girl-seeking brethren. Here now, for your education and edification, are 10 things that a typical girl wants to see in a typical guy’s profile:

Brains
You don’t have to be Einstein or Chomsky; most women don’t dig mega-brainiacs, anyhow. But you should demonstrate a hearty dollop of intelligence. So proofread. Do a spell check. Bust out a thesaurus. Use words like “dollop.”

How do you get to that special guy with all the other women vying for his attention? Fear not! We asked single fellas what they want to see in women’s profiles, and here’s what they said:

1. Photos
It’s no secret that men are visual, so photos are an obvious requirement. And research shows men are 14 times more likely to check out a profile with a photo. But what do they like to see in those
photos?

“A smiling face” says Norman, 32, of Winooskie, VT. “But not a fake smile, or one that makes her look like she’s on mood elevators. Just a natural, engaging grin.”

Dave, 26, likes to see hair. “I can tell a lot from your haircut. If it’s really done up, you’re probably prissy or high-maintenance. If looks more natural, you’re probably laid back and practical. And if it’s under a hat, you probably have something to hide!”

Eyes are important, too. “A direct gaze is nicest,” says Roland, 45, of Evanston, IL. “I like feeling as though she’s looking me in the eye.”

“A body shot is nice for an alternate photo,” notes Carl, 50, of Novato, CA. “I don’t need to see her in a bikini or anything, but a photo that gives me an idea of her physique is helpful.”

That’s just one aspect. Read about the other two in Women: What Men Want to See in Your Profile

Here’s some real advice from Dr. Phil.

“Relationships are the bedrock of human existence. Almost nothing is accomplished in this life without some form of human interaction. To put it plainly, people need people. Our early ancestors realized this when they formed societies for their mutual protection. I certainly see this in my life. There’s no way I could get my show on the air without effective and reliable working relationships. “

“More important, my life just wouldn’t be worth living without the loving relationships I have with my family and friends.”
