Don't Die Alone (Dating Advice for Women)

Are you self sabotaging your love life? Do you believe that most men can't live up to your high standards? Do you bury yourself in work to forget your loneliness? Do you find yourself spending countless friday nights eating Chunky Monkey ice cream, while watching Oprah re-runs with your cat FooFee? If so, I'm sad to say that you're on your way to dying alone. And claiming that you're a strong independent woman who does not need a man is not fooling anyone. Every human being is hard wired to need the feeling of love and companionship. You must understand that this warped mindset that you have is what's keeping you from finding the love of your life. Maybe you've been hurt before in the past. But no matter how difficult things may seem, it's not too late to trust and let someone special back into your life. I urge you to stop standing in your own way. Yeah I said it! Stop standing in your own way "Ms. Independent"!

I know that it's not easy to change so I've developed Three Rules To Help Keep You From Dying Alone. Rule #1: Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone. Drop the ice cream and tell Foofee that you're gonna have to take a rain check and start going out more often. Begin approaching men that you're interested in, spark polite conversations with them, and forget the old rule that a woman should never ask a man out, those days are over. Rule #2: Be Open-Minded. You may have high standards of only wanting to date a man that is tall, handsome, makes a six figure salary as a lawyer, owns a big house on the hill, feeds the homeless on the weekends, buys gifts for the local orphanage, and speaks four or five languages. But maybe you can be a little bit more realistic. I'm not implying that you should drastically lower your standards. I'm only saying that you should consider taking a chance on a man that you never thought about dating before. For instance, maybe you can date a man that drives a truck for a living, earns a middle-class income, rents a 1 bedroom apartment, stands 5 foot 8, is a little chubby around the waist, and speaks only one language. Who knows, you might find this guy to be the one for you after all. Rule #3: Be Patient. Change does not usually happen over night. You're going to have to work on it. Give the man that you're dating time to get to know who you are and vice versa. Furthermore, be consistent with your words and actions and watch your future relationship blossom.
