The Friend Zone...

Ladies, here's where we are going wrong....

Here's a good quote to start off:

 "“If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got"

So in terms of finding Mr Right, if we are having so much trouble finding him, we need to change our game plan.  I realised that I wasn't going to have any luck finding love at work, considering most of my coworkers were female.  I also had absolutely no interest in any of my current male friends as they were like brothers to me.  So where was I going to meet anyone?  I couldn't possibly expect to meet anyone with my current lifestyle.  Maybe someone would randomly come out of no where but what where my chances?  

I wasn't putting myself out there, and I was constantly complaining to my friends as if love was just meant to find me and I didn't have to really do anything to help the process.  So I started thinking of ways in which I could help love do it's thing, and I was shocked by the list of things I hadn't even tried. Things like:

Joining a sports club

Going speed dating

Trying internet dating

Being open to meeting people at random places (like the train station)

Getting a friend to set me up on a blind date  

Being part of a volunteer group

The list goes on!

There are so many things I hadn't been doing and tools that I wasn't using to my benefit.  I wasn't meeting new people or people that had the same interests.

So here is where I make my change to what I have always done, and try something different.  I wonder what will happen??

Single and ready to ....mingle??

So here I am. Single again. Wondering if I'm EVER going to find that "perfect someone".  Do they even exist? And where do I find them? At 25 years, I already have quite an impressive list of failed relationships.  They were either too boring, substance abusers, workaholics, uninterested in my interests or just plain dirty rotten cheaters.  When was I going to hit gold? When was my Prince Charming going to sweep me off my feet and take me away to happily ever after? Am I going to be single for ever and end up with a house full of furry creatures?  Where are all the decent men hiding?  The more that I talked to my friends, the more I realised we were all asking exactly the same questions.

So I'm on a mission to figure it out. I'm going to try a variety of methods to find my perfect match from internet dating to self help books. Nothing is off limits. Here is my journey.
