It has recently been brought to my attention that I am 30 and still single. I am moderately attractive and although I have put on a few pounds in the past year and a half (which I am losing, yay me!) I am still not hideous. Why then am I single? And more importantly, where am I supposed to meet someone?! I hear this all the time from single friends. Our choices seem to be the bar/ club, online dating, or meeting someone at work. I work from home so X that one out. My experiences with meeting people at bars are never positive. I have tried/ continue to try online dating sites such as match.com to no avail as yet.
Whilst returning an overdue library item (the charge late fees now!?) I found myself with time to kill and looked up books by matchmaker, Patti Stanger (I am a sucker for the TV show Millionaire Matchmaker). Although her book was checked out, I went to the section to see what else was there. Did you know there's an "Idiot's Guide to Finding Mr. Right"? There is, along with a few other books largely focused on what to do once you found one. There is a list in there of 99 places to find Mr. Right. My plan is to do one of these activities every day make myself approachable while doing said activity, and give you all the gory details of my experiences. In addition to the list I will be gathering information from friends on how they met their spouses, and coming up with a few of my own. Readers will be getting pros and cons of each potential meeting scenario and difficulty to initiate contact rating.
Tomorrow is Day 1- A Date From Match.com. Wish me luck!!!
