Finding Mr. Right...

No offense guys but this ones for the ladies. With the divorce rate staying so high and technology at the center of communication is it really hard to find Mr. Right? Or are many woman letting him pass them by. Many women wonder where is the perfect man for me and on a website called Fluther a woman recently posted the question, "Why can't I find the right guy?" In her question she discusses how at 23 years of age she has never had a boyfriend, so she wonders if shes setting her standards too high. In a recent blog on divorce360 a Ms. Lori Woodall tells her story of going through her second divorce. After two years of marriage things changed and she later found out he was having an affair. So is finding Mr. Right possible, there may be an answer to this question.

In an interview on CBS Dr. Phil says theres good news. In the interview Dr. Phil states that not only does he "believe that there is someone out there for everybody he says he can help you find Mr. Right". It is all discussed in a book he wrote titled "Love Smart: Find The One You Want ... Fix The One You Got." The main points in helping you find Mr. Right include, first, starting with a plan. He says if you want a relationship you have to "go at it with a plan". Secondly, make the first part of your plan to "love yourself". Don't try to be someone else to impress any man, love yourself for who you are. He says, "If you wouldn't date you, nobody else would date you". Third, determine your personal truth. Don't necessarily set standards just decide what you deserve and then "generate results that are consistent with that". Fourth, get to the point early. Ask all the questions you want to know. Lastly, create a personal sound byte. By this he means, "be able to say who you are in 20 seconds or less".

Personally, I don't know if I believe that theres someone out there for everyone, but I do believe you will never know if Mr. Right is out there if you don't get out there and look. I agree with Dr. Phil's steps especially when he says to decide what you deserve and don't settle for less. I do believe in true love because I believe I've found true love so anything is possible and with that, I say with time you can and will find Mr. Right, yea its hard for some and easier for others but all great things come with time so don't give up...
