Tips for finding a great guy

Be a good woman. Seriously, be a woman that really likes who she is and where she is in life. The old saying you are what you eat almost (ok, very loosely) applies here. If you want to attract a good man, you have to be a good woman. Have you ever met a good man who wanted to meet a lonely, depressed, unhappy, ugly, out of shape woman? The answer is unless he is a martyr, no.

 

Create a list

 

Knowing what you want is one way to find a good man. Creating a list of traits you want in a man will help you to weed out those who do not necessarily fit the bill. Get technical, writing down absolutely everything from your future man’s haircut to his body type. Nothing is too big or too small to be included in the first draft of your list.

 

Rewrite your list

 

Read over your first draft of your "what I want in a man list" and put stars next to the items that you can’t live without and dashes next to the items that you could live without.Now you have narrowed your parameter for the perfect man.

 

Do not be desperate

 

Desperate has many definitions. In this case, it means have patience and do not settle for the first guy that comes along. Move on If he doesn’t match the majority of the traits you have listed.  Also, do not continue to date a man that you know is not your perfect fit. Dating makes you unavailable, at least a few nights a week, and could keep you from doing another activity where you might run into Mr. Right.

 

Don’t look back

 

Have a little faith. Just by reading this article you are one step closer to finding a good man. Try not to look at your life and allow yourself to think that since you have not found "him" yet, you will be destined to be alone. Instead, think of it as he is just not ready for you yet. Then relax and give him time to get to you. Love does not have boundaries, believe in yourself and your ability to attract a good man. Don’t forget to take a look at yourself and make sure that you are living a healthy, happy life and that you are the absolute best you can be. In other words, make sure you are ready for that great man!
