We all have a picture of the ideal partner in our mind. You sure have one, too. Even if you’ve never met him or her yet, you have painted a vivid image of the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. It’s just a matter of finding them. Here are the top 10 easiest ways of finding the person of our dreams.

 

10. “Can I buy you a drink?”

 

If you are really serious about finding the person of your dreams, go out and look for him or her. One of the easiest ways to find your your Mr. or Ms. Perfect is to hang out in a bar. You will never find your would-be significant other inside your kitchen cupboard. Go out, have fun and meet people. There are many reasons why this is effective. First, this is where guys and girls who love to have fun go and if you’re that type, you just might find someone meant for you here. Second, alcohol gives you enough courage and confidence to make the first move. Some of the greatest love stories do not even get a chance to start because both people are afraid to approach and introduce themselves to each other. What a shame.

 

Why you should do it: Even if you don’t meet anyone, you still had your booze. Nothing to lose!

 

9. “Hi. ASL?”

 

On second thought, you can still look for the person of your dreams without leaving your house. All you need is a good Internet connection. Cyberspace has become an active social world for romance-seekers all over the planet. People who are looking for love sometimes find themselves surfing the net, logging in some networking sites or entering chat rooms, hoping to find the person of their dreams. Although it is regarded as absurd by some people, we cannot deny the fact that there are successful love stories that started through the Internet. In cyberspace, you’ll find all sorts of people; it is impossible not to find someone who at least matches your taste. What is harder to accomplish is finding a person who suits you AND who is serious about meeting people on the web. Yes, the Internet bridges people from all over the world and allows them to find true love in an instant. You have to remember, however, that cyberspace is not the safest place in the world to meet the person of your dreams. Without proper discretion and care, your dream romance can turn into a nightmare. You have to explore cyberspace carefully.

 

Why you should do it: Who cares? Everyone does it anyway.

 

8. “Peace be with you.”

 

Religious differences are sometimes blamed for unsuccessful relationships. If you want to be sure that you will be spiritually compatible with the person you want to meet, go to a church, synagogue, temple or wherever your religion has for a place of worship. This situation has a couple of advantages. First, religious difference will not be an issue. Second, you are sure that the person is spiritually healthy and responsible. If you feel guilty about doing this, don’t be. It is not like you are doing a blasphemous act. You are just practicing your religion, and while you are at it, why not do some multi-tasking? You want to find the person of your dreams? Praying might be a big help. Just don’t hike your skirt a little higher while you do it.

 

Why you should do it: Hey, God said, “Be fruitful and multiply.” You’re just being obedient.

 

7. “Is this seat taken?”

 

You are looking for the person of your dreams? Go to school and study. Yes, your one true love might be that geeky-looking guy sitting beside you in your Molecular Biology and Biotechnology class. We have seen this scene in many movies and we will see a couple more. The classroom is a usual place for romantic relationships to develop. If your university days are over, then do the search in your world — the workplace.

 

Why you should do it: You need inspiration at school or in the workplace, right?

 

6. “That suits you.”

 

The next easiest way to find the person of your dreams is hanging out at your local bookshop, music store and department store. If you’re a girl, stay near the men’s section of the department store. You can tell his personality by the way he shops. Is he impatient? Is he fickle? Is he indecisive? Is he rich? Is he gay? After observing him for quite a while, make your move. Act like you’re buying something for your brother and you need some help. It’s a nice way of starting a conversation.

 

If you’re a guy, you can also hang out near the women’s section. You have to remember one important thing, though: never stay near the lingerie. You would surely send the wrong signal.

 

Why you should do it: Shopping is fun so while you’re at it, why not shop for romance, too.?

 

5. “Wow. That’s great. You care about your… colon.”

 

They say that before you can ever love someone else fully, you have to love yourself first. That may be a little selfish but there is a hint of truth in that. Anyway, who would not love a person who wants to be healthy and look good. What is the top five easiest way to find the person of your dreams? Visit health stores and gyms.

 

Don’t be confused, though. It’s a health store, not a drugstore. You don’t want to be dating someone with herpes. Men and women who visit health stores care about their health and overall being — even when they do not feel sick. These are the type of people to tie the knot with — those who make sure that their hearts beat normally and their blood circulates well. These are the people who make sure that when they promise “forever,” they mean “a very long time.”

 

The gym is also a perfect place to find that darling. It is a room filled with the smell of sweat, hard muscles being stretched and active people who make sure they are physically fit. Doesn’t that turn you on? If not, then work out and someone will surely notice you and your discipline and determination to get fit.

 

The good thing about health stores and gyms is that even when you do not care about your health and physique, people think that you are a health buff just for being there. Who knows? Some customer might be looking at you, thinking exactly the same thing.

 

Why you should do it: Tight bottoms, six-packs, sexy curves… Why not?

 

4. How do I say ‘love’ in your language?

 

As of 2000, the total world population was more than 6 billion. For sure, there is at least one person out there that is meant for you. All that needs to happen is your paths to cross. If you have the money and time, travel. You’ll gain many benefits, such as seeing beautiful places, experience new cultures and meeting new people. One of those people could be the person you’ve been waiting for.

 

Why you should do it: There’s a lot of fish in the sea. Go for the best catch.

 

3. “Love thy neighbor.”

 

Oh yes, God could have meant it literally when he said that. Sometimes, you don’t need to go to a faraway land just to find the person of your dreams. He or she might just be a few feet away. Your Ms. or Mr. Right may be living next door and you have no idea. What is the third easiest way to find true love? Be friendly with your neighbors. You might be surprised that you can go much further than being friends. So what are you waiting for? Bake some cookies. Put them in a basket. Knock on your neighbor’s door. Extend your hospitality with open arms. See what happens. It all starts from there.

 

Why you should do it: Again, God said so.

 

2. “I know your heart is good. Can I have it?”

 

OK, the above quote is cheesy, mushy and pathetic, but at least you get the point.

Nothing is more impressive than seeing someone offering himself to the world. That’s exactly why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are hot. Yes, physically, they are already attractive but they are hotter when they are in Vietnam doing charity work.

 

It’s easy to find a person with a beautiful face. But a person with a beautiful face AND a beautiful heart? That’s a little difficult to find. That’s why, if you are looking for a person who is beautiful inside and out, all you need to do is volunteer. What to volunteer for is tricky. You need to choose very carefully. For example, if you’re a guy, you don’t to be volunteering as a firefighter because there is a very little chance that you will find a woman there. If you’re gay, well, go on, be a volunteer firefighter.

 

Anyway, the point is, you sure want to spend the rest of your life with someone who cares not just about himself but also everyone. If you volunteer or do some charity work, you will meet selfless people who always put the welfare of others first. If he cares about other people, he surely cares more about the people he or she loves. Don’t you want to be loved by someone like that? When it’s Christmas, dress up like Santa Claus. When disaster strikes, help in the relief program. Come on, do yourself and the world a favor. Volunteer.

 

Why you should do it: Karma. Good karma.

 

1. “Come find me.”

 

You can do all the ways mentioned above but you may still end up not finding the person of your dreams. Sometimes, to be able to find your one true love, you don’t need to look for it. All you need is wait and let that person find you. It does not mean, however, that you will lock yourself up in a tower and wait for your Prince Charming to ask you to let down your hair. While you’re waiting, learn to love yourself in all aspects. Take care of your health and make sure you are in good shape. Be optimistic, stay happy and don’t let stress make you look and feel old. Do the things you enjoy doing and celebrate life all the time. Make yourself a better person everyday. In this way, you don’t have to go looking for true love; it will find you effortlessly. Even when you feel that it’s taking too long, live your life without worrying about being alone and lonely. True love comes when you least expect it. When it finally comes, you know you are ready and complete.

 

Why you should do it: Because you are so damn beautiful.
