Write You - I'm Looking for Mr. Right, Am I Too Picky?
I get emails frequently as regards how to prepare to meet that one person, and how to get in touch with as many potential dating partners as possible. So far the tips below works like fire. It has never failed me or anyone else I recommend it to. Enjoy1. Get prepared for dating. If you really want to succeed in the dating game, decide who you are looking for, do your research and be ready to commit to dating. Half heartedness won't work. Also prepare for some snobbing during the course of dating. When that happens, hey move on. She's just one billions of available women.2. Get your act together. Begin a regime of looking your best. Join a gym, read health magazines, get fit and start a diet. Get your hair cut or styled and begin a new regime of good grooming or beauty treatment. Though it will not find you a date in itself, you will feel a lot more confident about yourself.3. Go shopping and treat yourself to new clothes and even a whole new look. Get your image right, one that you can manage and live with, but one that flatters you. Don't go overboard and look like someone you are not. Throw out those tired jeans, old sweaters or cardigans and spruce yourself up. People appreciate appearance.4. Have a good think about what your dating goals are and timescales. Do you see yourself married within 2 years? If you do then approach dating according
And to make a long story short guess what - I met the absolute love of my life - a successful and wealthy software entrepreneur - you cannot get more my type than this man is, he fits every criteria I could think of, and even some I didn't know I could think of- and all I did was move to San Diego.
Truer words were never spoken - change your outlook and change your home base - and your life just falls into place. I could not have even imagined how perfect this turned out.
Never ever settle for less than exactly what you want!!!!! Listen to what Mary Gardner has to say." (Single 30 something female, San Diego, CA)
"That was great, I am going to pass on to all my single friends!!!!" (single 30 something- Charlotte)
Anyway, it was kind of a "message" because this morning I woke up extremely sad about my relationship. I opened your blog right up to the part about Mr. and Mrs. Right and Am I being too picky. LOL. It didn't really (make me-sic) happy since I'm not looking, but perhaps it somewhere in there is a message I'm supposed to take to heart.? (Brandie, 20something, midwest)
I read your article on looking for Mr. Right. I thought it was great! Finding Pete was certainly a miracle. We are so well matched for each other. (40 something female, married, Charlotte, NC)
Mary,
Ok 2 emails in one morning! Wow, I kept reading after that article…The I’m Looking for Mr. or Ms. Right… it’s funny b/c as I read it I was thinking, well sure, I think anyone might consider themselves to be among the top (or the minority…however you choose to look at it J), but then I remembered something I read in one of my psych classes...it related to taking those personality tests. “They” can [usually] tell when someone is lying
If your resolution was to find a part time work from home job, then maybe you just need to create one rather than finding one.Huh?Since you are already reading an article, you already know that someone (me) must have written this article. I must have a reason for writing it, don't you think? Of course I do. Like the 40,000 other authors here at ezinearticles.com, I'm providing valuable content to the net...and that is something that will never go out of need.It can't. Because Google, the largest of all the search engines, the 800 pound gorilla, makes its money AFTER it provides you and me with free search results. All of their advertising happens on the pages that it returns when we type in our keywords into the search boxes.So if Google will always need to put the horse before the cart by delivering results before it can demand advertising, valuable niche content will always be at a premium.So this part time work from home job that you're combing the job search engines for might be right in front of you as you read this. Why don't you dip your toes in the article writing waters?Why not join this explosion of article marketing that is providing Google and others with EXACTLY what it needs...fresh content?You could, very easily in fact. Start off by signing up and then write an article or two on a subject that you kno
First of all, a few of them are using the traditional dating services. Since none of them are arrogant, they can’t seem to get their Ideal Mate qualities across in a way that doesn’t make them sound better than others. So, I’m helping my clients to “package” themselves in a way that is factual and fun. It’s what good attorneys do when they are trying to win a case. It’s what agents do when they are trying to sell an entertainer to the public. It’s what a publicist does when their company is in trouble.
Pitch the best and most qualities first. Quick, fast and easy.
Example: Claire is a 34 year old stylish, single mom, due to the death of her spouse 3 years ago. She’s lived all (or traveled) over the country and is a successful entrepreneur who sells her services to top notch corporate types. She’s interested in connecting with an individual who is competent in the area of finances, relationships and travel. She’s not out to save anyone, but wants to enjoy the finer things of life along with the simple pleasures of life.
Okay, this knocks out anyone who is not ambitious about life. It pretty much takes out the old fashioned man who wants his wife to stay at home to cook, clean and take care of the kids. It also makes a requirement of their finances.. that they are successful.
Why is this important? My clients have found so many “wonderful and nice” people in dating pool. And yet they wonder why they aren’t falling in love with these “super nice” people. They beat themselves up because they are passing through the many people like water that are presented to them.
I have explained to the majority of my clients that if they are the type of person who does self development, therapy, goes to classes, is a continual learner, reads to grow or learn, (not just romance novels), updates their skills on a regular basis, gets involved with causes or charity, works out their bodies, nurtures their relationship with God, has good relationships with their friends and family, THEN THEY ARE A 5%er. THEY ARE DIFFERENT. THEY ARE SPECIAL. AND THEY WON’T BE SATISFIED WITH JUST THE AVERAGE OL’ JOE.
Most people just don’t have the time OR WANT to grow themselves. They are content with who they are. They are content with what they’ve been given in life. They’re in the same job that they’ll have forever. They don’t need to stretch. They don’t need to learn. They are fine how they are.
We all know people like this! They make nice friends. They are predictable. They are usually reliable. They’re usually available. Nothing changes. Not their tastes, not their attitudes (for better or for worse) and not their circumstances.
Is it my clients? NO! The people I coach or who come to my workshops and seminars are people of ACTION. They are people who seek growth opportunity and ways to stretch. That’s why they won’t be satisfied with just a “nice guy. Or a super nice gal.” It won’t CHALLENGE them. They won’t look up to them. They won’t have the respect that one desires in a committed relationship.
If you are a 5 %er or a 1%er. … then give yourself a break! You probably AREN’T going to find your perfect mate in your own back yard. You MIGHT of course, and I would love to hear from you if you have. But feel free to look more on a national basis. Ask your friends in other cities who they know. When you travel, be open to meeting people on the planes or in airports. Sit in first class when ever you can so you get to meet others who are flying first class.
Be open to adventure! Go on vacation with friends and see who is there. Go on a cause oriented work vacation to see who you can meet. Take a bicycle trip across the country or Europe to meet others who don’t only seek friends in their own back yard.
Many of my friends married men or women from other countries. Many are married to people they met when moving to a larger city. While there are sometimes cultural differences, and traditional issues that they deal with, they also are exposed to a whole new way of life. New customs, new attitudes and new places. These can be exciting things for a person who likes to learn new things.
I met my own husband on the internet in a chat room about 10 years ago. He’s Cuban-Italian and grew up in NYC. His customs have been fun to learn about and we’ve combined our hunger for learning to many new adventures, especially raising our son! We are both independent, yet we share many things in common. And if I had only looked in my own back yard, I would have stopped so many years ago and still been in Florida. While I may go back to Florida one day and settle in, I’ve experienced a whole world of new people, ideas, and places since I’ve lived there.
My challenge to you if you are single is “Please don’t give up”!. Don’t think that just because you are picky that you are destined to be single forever. But be willing to look outside your own community of friends. Be willing to the possibility that your perfect mate is in another town, city or country, anxiously waiting the opportunity to meet that person who also has dreams and goals of their own, who loves the city, the country, home and abroad. Consider that this person has a zest for life, just like you do, but their path hasn’t led them to you yet.
Get out there! Make your quest for that mate a quest for life. Enjoy it! Live it! Experience it and share it! You’ll never know until you try and when you try, you’ll have no ideas the adventures that await!
Good luck… go for it and let me know where you land. For now anyway…. And next year? That’ll be a whole new story I’m sure! Safe Travels!

She's off the market !!! “I got married in September 2003 to a great guy. We met on the internet and he was living in Florida at the time. The crazy part is that the reason he emailed me is because my profile said something about my being a life coach. He had worked with a life coach and had a great experience so he was interested in my profile. Neither of us expected anything to come of it but surprise.... Clearly being a coach has enhanced my life in MANY ways!

I did not understand how someone as intelligent and successful as me could orchstrate such a dismal failure of the one and only thing I truly cared about - but it went spectacularly wrong.

With all the introductory 0 APR credit cards popping up all over the internet in emails, on websites as advertisements and even in the regular mail through flyers, it is very hard to decide which credit card company is really offering the better deal in the long run. The introductory offers all look great but what happens after they expire? Do not take the introductory offer for 0 APR credit cards at face value. Above all, do a bit of research before you make your decision.There are so many different 0 APR credit cards being offered that you can become overwhelmed. Today, you can find several companies offering 0 APR credit cards and other incentives to get you to apply for their credit cards.The four most popular offers today include:Citi® Platinum Select® Card – You must have excellent credit or you will not be approved for this 0 APR credit card. The card offers 0% APR on balance transfers and purchases for your first 12 months. There is no annual fee, you can manage your account online, and there is zero liability on unauthorized purchases.Chase Platinum Credit Card - With the Chase Platinum credit card you can be approved for their 0 APR credit cards but you must have at least good credit. You'll get 0% interest on all purchases and balance transfers for up to 12 months. However in some cases 3 months is all you get for 0% on balance

Pennsylvania DUI LawIn the state of Pennsylvania, you can be charged with driving under the influence, driving while impaired, or driving after imbibing as a result of drinking alcohol prior to operating your vehicle. Each of these offenses carries serious penalties including jail time, fines, mandatory alcohol treatment, and the loss of your driving privileges. If you are arrested for any of these offenses, it is important that you contact a Pennsylvania DUI lawyer immediately after your arrest. Working with a skilled Pennsylvania DUI attorney is your best chance of getting a fair trial and having a successful outcome.Pennsylvania DUI LawsIf you are arrested for DUI, DWI, or DAI in Pennsylvania, there will be two separate cases started against you. One is a criminal case where you will face criminal charges for the offense. Conviction on these charges can result in serious penalties being imposed against you. The second case is an administrative case with Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation. This state licensing agency will seek to take away your driving privileges due to any of these alcohol-related offenses. You can be prosecuted in one of two ways for an alcohol offense in Pennsylvania. One is the common law method of showing that you were under the influence of alcohol at the time of your arrest.

Annuities are one of the most important and inevitable and lucrative policies for the well being of the senior citizens of America. However, at some crossroads of life one might need to have their future to be planned in a proper way, especially during and after the retirement phase. A senior citizen, or any citizen of age sixty-five and above, has the full right to utilize his or her insurances, life insurances, liquid assets, pension schemes, financial plans and such other things - including retirement plans. But proper planning is key to the secured future. An annuity is the ideal plan for such phases of life.The best time to buy an annuity is age 55 or older. An annuity is the ideal life planning tool for a senior citizen that comes up to him or her with all the advantages near the end of his life. It is a retirement planning tool and has two basic phases:(a) The accumulation phase and(b) The annuitization phase.In an accumulation phase, a person invests money in an insurance company, a senior settlement plan or an investment company for a considerable period of time. The amount might vary from one investment company to the other, but it is invested in a lump sum. Eventually with the passage of time it earns a rate of return.However, in the other phase, namely annuitization phase, the person who had been investing money in the accum

Understanding Jesus’ Return in the First CenturyChrist’s return is not in the future but in the past. Jesus’ return was connected to the event known as the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Luke describes this event as the time when all things written would be fulfilled, (Luke 21:20-22). In connection with that event was the coming of the Christ in the clouds, (v. 27), the coming of the day of redemption (an eschatological event, v. 28, --compare Ephesians 4:30) and the coming of the kingdom of God, (v. 31).All of the preceding were said to take place within Jesus’ own generation, i.e. during the time of the people who were contemporary with him. He emphatically stated that that generation would by no means pass away till all those endtime events enumerated above took place, (Luke 21:32). See also Matthew 24:34. If we believe Christ always spoke the truth, we must accept his words.Will We Remain On Earth Forever?Secondly, the earth will abide forever. There are many passages which demonstrate this but the one which is most appropriate for our study here is Ecclesiastes 1:4. One generation passes and another comes but the earth abides forever. Generations will come and go, but the earth remains.While it is true that the earth remains forever, it is not true that we as individuals will remain on earth forever as our
And to make a long story short guess what - I met the absolute love of my life - a successful and wealthy software entrepreneur - you cannot get more my type than this man is, he fits every criteria I could think of, and even some I didn't know I could think of- and all I did was move to San Diego.
Truer words were never spoken - change your outlook and change your home base - and your life just falls into place. I could not have even imagined how perfect this turned out.

Anyway, it was kind of a "message" because this morning I woke up extremely sad about my relationship. I opened your blog right up to the part about Mr. and Mrs. Right and Am I being too picky. LOL. It didn't really (make me-sic) happy since I'm not looking, but perhaps it somewhere in there is a message I'm supposed to take to heart.? (Brandie, 20something, midwest)
I read your article on looking for Mr. Right. I thought it was great! Finding Pete was certainly a miracle. We are so well matched for each other. (40 something female, married, Charlotte, NC)
Mary,
Ok 2 emails in one morning! Wow, I kept reading after that article…The I’m Looking for Mr. or Ms. Right… it’s funny b/c as I read it I was thinking, well sure, I think anyone might consider themselves to be among the top (or the minority…however you choose to look at it J), but then I remembered something I read in one of my psych classes...it related to taking those personality tests. “They” can [usually] tell when someone is lying about those little questions like “is smoking marijuana ok?”…someone who thinks it is might first think they should check no….but then, they think that realistically everyone is like them (I guess it’s more an ego-centric view) so they put yes, thinking it puts them in the status-quo. My point being, maybe we are special!
But anyway, back to your article, I really enjoyed reading that one too…it gave me some hope, because I feel the same way!! There are so many things to do and see in the world, why limit yourself!! (20 something female, , NC)
LOVE LOVE LOVE the article on singles. You are RIGHT ON - I think you should do tv interviews on this topic. I really do b/c you tapped into the pulse of many of Gen X & Y! NO ONE HAS SAID IT BETTER, MORE CONCISELY and with HUMOR and better observation than your article.
I have forwarded the link to my friends (married and single) and they agreed with you! I just last week had my postman AND my hairstylist ask me point blank about my "love life" and when was I going to get married b/c "it's such a shame that you're still single when you're so pretty and smart. It's almost a waste"!!! I was a bit shocked but still managed to say I haven't found the right man yet and I refuse to settle. This has also happened to my other girlfriends too. Mary you're really onto something...Plus it's THE WAY you write/talk about ANY subject - it's so fun to read.
Michelle, Jersy girl! :)
