Your Guide To Finding "The One"

Looks Matter

So we’ve all told ourselves that looks don’t matter, yeah right! Yes, it’s what’s inside that counts, but you don’t want to spend the rest of your life scared do you? Initially, physical attraction is what everyone sees first. Looks are what grabs your attention. Looks capture your interest. What would be the point if you FORCED yourself to be interested physically? I’m just sayin’.

A Hollywood Love Story

In the old classic films it seems that love could last forever. I think for most couples, during this time, the war and distance bound their love and it grew stronger.

Somehow our grandparents’ generation knew how to make relationships work. Love was a serious thing, and wasn’t just in the movies. Let’s tap into that. I think they knew what they were doing.

Want To Travel With This Person?

Travel is a test to relationships. Disaster always seems to strike when you’re out of the country. When it does, are you prepared? You must be ready to face the unexpected. No matter how prepared you think the trip might be, you can never be too prepared.

For instance, you might run out of money and your lodging situation forces you on the streets of Bulgaria. Maybe the plane taking you overseas lands in the Middle East and you’re surrounded by terrorists. Alas, love abounds and as long as you’re together, you can make through even the unexpected. Now that is love.

Even The Strangest Couples Are Happy

Sometimes I see couples that look like they don’t belong together. Either he is tall and lanky and she is a little over weight, or he’s extremely handsome and she’s a butterface.

Somehow though, love has brought them together and you can see that just by observing the way they interact with one another. It’s beautiful! After I see this interaction, it doesn’t even matter how strange they may seem together. They are in love and it works.

Tying The Knot Vs. Just Roomates For Life

These days it seems that marriage is the last thing on people’s minds. The attitude is that marriage always ends in divorce, and it just doesn’t work out. Well, in most cases, but if you truly love this person I believe that it can work. Why not go all the way with the person you love?

Are You Attracted?

What attracts you to someone? Their eyes, face, butt, hands? Maybe you’re a foot lover. I don’t know, but there is something about one’s appearance that MUST attract you to them.
Personally, I find eyes, hair, and butt to be essential in physical appearance. To top it all off though, he has to make me laugh. Sense of humor please!

Things In Common?

Ok, she loves cats and you loathe them. You hate the way it meows at your feet and brushes it’s fur all over your clean pants. Oh, and that cat litter! If you continue in this relationship could you learn to love her and her cat?

Common interest. What do you love to do together? My boyfriend and I love to drink wine and watch episodes of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”… every night. Luckily, my boyfriend loves my cat too.

The Kiss Is Key

A kiss tells all. In any relationship, kissing is key. I cannot convey to you how many relationships I’ve been in where I just wasn’t feeling it. Sometimes it’s sloppy, the next minute it’s tender and passionate. As long as you love this person, it can be all of these things and more. It starts with a kiss that tells all.

Can You Compromise?

He didn’t take out the garbage again? Why am I ALWAYS the one to do the dishes. I can’t stand the way he keeps that toilet seat up! Little domestic arguments come up, there is no way around them. When they do arise, are you ready to step in and say, “That’s okay, I’ll do it today, you do it tomorrow.”

No matter how similar the two of you might be, you are both individuals with different personalities. I have found that they clash and collide all the time. “Let’s take a breath and work it out. An argument is never worth a couple of cracked eggs.” My boyfriend said that to me this morning. We compromised and worked it out, after we had eggs for breakfast.

Start A Family One Day?

So you want to start a family together. Ok, are you ready for screaming babies in the middle of the night, no sleep, and thousands of dollars spent on diapers? Once again, love is the only way this can work and ya gotta do it together.

Um, yeah this one will be a little later down the road for me, but hey ya gotta ask yourself this question when you’re with the one you love, right?

Make It Last

My grandparents have been together for 50 years. Yes, they might annoy each other from time to time, but you better believe they wouldn’t have anyone else in this world. And they’re still sharing the same bed.

So you think you’ve found The One? Hold on to them. Hold on and don’t let go. This is your partner, your friend, your lover. It CAN last longer than a few weeks, it’s true.

Could You Spend The Rest Of Your Life With This Person?

Her feet smell, her boobs are now sagging, there is hair on her face, and she farts in her sleep. The other day you had to buy her a walker and some Depends. Despite all of her bodily changes, you still love her. She is the same woman you fell in love with 40 years ago. Love can last through time. Even if she no longer looks like Kate Hudson.
