Finding Your Perfect Man

They say that love is an ocean and that there are plenty of fish in the seas, but with so many fish, how are you supposed to know when you’ve found the one? There’s no right way to do it (but maybe there are a few wrong ways), and everyone’s experience with romance is different. We do have some clutch advice, though!

Practice talking to anyone and everyone. How can you expect to find your perfect guy if you’re not putting yourself out there? It’s not just about introducing yourself to hot guys, though. Strike up a conversation with as many people as you can! That way, you get lots of practice connecting with people, and lots of experience. And who knows? You might just make a friend who’s got a friend that’s perfect for you.

Take your time. We know, you’re dying to find him, and we don’t blame you! But if you rush things, you might just dive head-first into the wrong relationship, or you might blow past the man of your dreams altogether. Don’t be afraid to take things slow and steady. That way, you really get to know the people you’re talking to, and get a better feel for if they’re right for you.

But don’t wait around. Taking your time is essential, but don’t put your life on pause for a guy who doesn’t know what he wants. He’s just wasting your time! Be upfront about your relationship wants, needs, and goals, and give your attention to guys who can get down with that.

Keep your mind and your heart open. An internet quiz can tell you what kind of man you’re looking for, but that doesn’t mean that your perfect guy is one specific type. He might be someone you never would have imagined dating, but lo and behold, you hit it off like peas in a pod. Don’t just write off a guy because he doesn’t check all the boxes. Give people a chance! If it doesn’t work, at least you’ll have learned a little bit more about yourself.
