5 Things You Can Do While Waiting For Mr Right by majestique(f): 3:11pm On Apr 06, 2015
1. Stop Looking.

Have you ever been around
women who are looking so hard for love that they
allow themselves to get caught up in a bad
situation? It happens all the time. Women want to
find love so badly they often times tend to settle
for “Mr. Right Now” instead of “Mr. Right for Me”
and sometimes we tend to seek after someone
who really isn’t good for us. So I say, stop looking.
Surely you’ve heard someone say once they
stopped looking, love found them. It’s highly
possible that by looking for love ourselves we fall
prey to the wolves in sheep’s clothing that got the
memo that we were looking and showed up to
take advantage of our state of neediness. When
you decide to stop looking, you’ll be able to spot
the bad choices before they get to you but you
won’t be desperate enough to go along for the
ride.

2. Get To Know Yourself.

I find in dating that we always want a suitor to get to know us but do we even know ourselves. I’ll be transparent with this one. I dated a guy a couple years ago who asked me several deep questions while we spent time together. He loved walking along the river in the evening and during our walks this man and I had some very interesting conversations. But one day he asked me a very simple question that, surprisingly, I had a difficult time answering. He asked, “What makes you happy?” And my response wasn’t necessarily an answer to what made me happy but rather what I liked. So he kept asking me to tell him what “really” made me happy. And it led me on a new path of discovery that I had never considered before, really getting to know myself. He shared with me that what really made him happy was the sun, because he had spent many years inside after a near fatal
accident going through physical therapy and craved being outside. So when he finally got a chance to spend time outside the four walls that he felt captive within, he found that feeling the warmth of the sun on his skin made him happy. He never knew how important that was to him until he had to be without it for a long period of time. Sometimes, it’s the simple things in life that define who we are. So, try to discover yourself and determine what truly makes you happy. You never know but it might open a portal to finding the perfect mate who shares your happy place.

3. Evaluate the Standards You’ve Set for Your Partner.

This is oh so critical for both men and
women to take a closer look at your list. Women
are especially critical when it comes to setting a
list of standards for the man they want to attract
into their lives. Sometimes, it’s a laundry list of
physical characteristics, personality traits,
financial and material must-haves, and the list
goes on. Sometimes, the lists are so detailed that
no one man can measure up to it. It’s best to think
of the things that make you compatible rather
than physical qualities when setting these
standards. The first thing you should do is shorten
the list.... While preparing
your list, you should also evaluate whether you
match up to what you’re asking for. Let me say
that again, you should at a minimum exhibit what
you are asking your significant other to be. Don’t
put on your list that he must be financially secure
if you are not financially secure yourself. Don’t
require him to have abs if you have never busted
a sweat working out yourself.

4. Be the Life of Your Own Party.

You don’t need a date to the party. Living your life is your party. And, it doesn’t require that you have a partner to share it with. You can be the life of your own party. If you want to dance, then dance. If you
want to sing, turn up your music loud and sing at
the top of your lungs. If you want to check out a
new restaurant in town, get dressed and go. If you
want to do something adventurous, book it and
have the time of your life. Life does not have to leave you behind because you’re single. In fact, once someone sees you having a good time and
loving yourself they will most likely want to be a part of the movement with you. Think about it, when you’re happy and enjoying yourself, men
find that attractive.

5. Enjoy the Wait.

Have you ever heard anyone say they wish they were single again? Most of the
time they miss being single because they never
enjoyed it while they were. Now that a
relationship or commitment takes up their time
and forces them to redefine themselves through
it, they wish they could go back and enjoy the
singleness they once had. And chances are they
may not have taken full advantage of their
singleness by practicing the steps above. You
deserve to be happy no matter what your dating
status is, so why not enjoy the wait. Then when
you find Mr. Right, you can share your
experiences with him without any regrets.
Being single doesn’t have to be a death sentence.
But, it can be the perfect time to enjoy life without
any restrictions or limitations, except for the ones
you place on yourself. You deserve to find love
and to be loved in return. And now is the perfect
time for you to get ready to receive it. That doesn’t
mean you put on your best dress and sit at the
bus stop of life waiting for HIM to find you.
Instead, you can put of that dress, grab your
purse and get out and experience life to the
fullest, and perhaps he’ll see you and feel
compelled to say hello and begin the rest of your
lives together. And if not, you can still say you had
the time of your life.
