So You Want to Fall in Love?

Falling in love is no walk in the park.  It's actually pretty hard for the majority of us.  How is it done?  Follow these quick and easy steps and you'll be dining with your soulmate in no time.

First you have to meet somebody...

When you go out to a bar, do you sit in a corner and make little to no eye contact?  If you do, then you're doing a swell job at not attracting the opposite sex, or any sex for that matter.  If you want someone to be interested in you, you have to show a little interest in them.  Make eye contact, go up and flirt a little, order them a drink.  Make a little effort.  Being good looking doesn't always cut it.

Try internet dating.  Hit up facebook buddies, join a free dating site, start writing a blog.  If you're willing to shell out a little cash, try Match.com or Eharmony.com.  According to their advertisements, they're quite successful matchmakers.  It's the 21st century; we have no shame nowadays anyways.  There's a million different ways to meet people.  Why not try cyberspace?

Take up a hobby.  Yoga, ballroom dancing, art classes, karate, pottery, etc, etc, etc.  There's a world of endless possibilities out there.  Hell, you could even go back to school.  Learn while meeting people.  A great way of multitasking.  Get to it.

Then you have make a little chemistry...

Don't play the silly games that most may have heard of.  Don't wait three days to call after the first date.  They may very well lose interest.  Don't try to make them jealous.  They already know that you're hot stuff, that's why they're interested.  No cheating, no lying, no game playing.  All may be fair in love and war, but if you have that kind of attitude, you'll just end up alone.

Keep them interested.  Take them to places they've never been.  Make yourself a memorable date.  Let them know that they're special and interesting.  Everyone likes to feel like they mean something.  But don't lay it on too thick in the beginning; no smothering.

And once you're finally in a relationship...

Don't fuck it up.  Like I said, no cheating, lying, or game playing.  You're in a relationship now, act like it.  If you're going to cheat, then just break up.  It's that simple really.  If you must be with two or more people, then you're definitely not mature enough to be in a relationship.  So end it.  If you're going to lie, then you obviously don't care about this person enough to tell them the truth.  Maybe you should re-evaluate the relationship before you take it any further.  And if you're going to play games... then maybe you should just re-enroll yourself in pre-school.

Happy hunting!
