number of people looking for
new friends (romantic or not)
has been skyrocketing. It is
time to get off the couch, shut
off your screens and leave your
comfort zone before your get too stuck in your ways. The future
is brighter than you think--you just have to trust and be willing
to take a risk. Ready. Set. Go.
The following tips are based on actual events:
Beware of keyboard warriors and online dating repeat
offenders. Heed the “texting trap.” Men are asking women out
via text, women are breaking up with men via text, and high
voltage words are exchanged that would have NEVER been
said in person. Many singles have “textationships” instead of
“relationships.” For some, cyber life is replacing real life. It is
actually being mistaken for real love or worse. Nothing beats an
in-person recommendation.
Get to know one another and don’t jump to quick
judgments. Be open-minded. Be flexible with your wishlist and
don’t make it too long or you will be alone forever. Don’t ask a
man on the first date when he plans to have his first child (true
story) and don’t ask a woman inappropriate questions on a first
date (especially if they are too intimate). Don’t blast someone a
long text if they don’t call you back within five minutes. This is
a pet-peeve for me.
Know your league. Generally, you should stay age appropriate
and if you want someone much younger, hopefully you have much
to offer to balance the scales of time. I recommend you don’t ask
for “The Rock” if you prefer to spend the day watching television
on the sofa enjoying your fifth ice cream sandwich. There is a
better match for you. It might not be Blake Shelton but he will
be awesome and will love you to pieces! Just FLOW!
Treat yourself this month. Fall is here and the weather is
lovely and YOU DESERVE IT! We can’t wait to meet you!
Happy Halloween!
XOXO, Kelly
