So you want to find your true love? We all do.. or did at one time; makes sense. One thing is 100% certain though. You'll have a hard time finding Mr. or Mrs. right hanging out with yourself. Those of us that are with what we consider our 'true love' seeked out the company of others or new others that led us to our prize.

These days I'm actually in awe of all the opportunities men and women have to meet up. Between the Online Dating sites, bars, parties, dancing and other offline events like Speed Dating, there's almost no excuse to get out there in front of the opposite.. or same.. sex.

I come from a sales background and there is one very important thing you learn as a salesman. It's a numbers game. The same goes with finding your true love in life.

A salesman knows their numbers. They know that have to find themselves in front of 'X' number of prospects in order to get 'X' number of sales. The same goes with dating.

You might meet up to a dozen women before you find one that is dateable. And if that person isn't right, you need to repeat process.

I guarantee 100% of the people that don't play those numbers or keep on keeping on after a bad relationship, will take a lot longer to find their soul mate and true love.

So get out there!

Seek out opportunities to meet others... and remember that every 'no' puts you that much closer to a 'yes'. ;-)

Listen, you need to learn about that person you are spending your precious time with. Your time is precious absolutely! Every month and every year you spend with the wrong person is one month or year you could be spending a wonderful time with the right person.

You probably know someone that is with someone that is in the wrong relationship; they are absolutely, without a doubt, wrong for each other.. The relationship is a disaster, but they keep dating forever. How much precious time are they wasting?

Make sure you hit all the important topics including religion. Make sure you explore each others sexuality to make sure you are on the same page in that department. Make sure you uncover those potential dark, disasterous secrets if you can... learn about thier past and see if there are patterns that might translate into your relationship with this person.

I know... it's a lot easier said then done. Especially if you are 'attracted' to this person. But time is slipping by you... do you really LOVE this person? Do they really LOVE you?

If you want to find your true love, you need to get out of your not so true loves' as quickly as possible! Date, learn, assess, keep or dump... as quickly as possible.

There is nothing worse then hanging out with the wrong crowd. Especially if you have little in common. Don't just hang out with people because... they are people and it's easy.

I can tell you I wasted a number of years hanging with the wrong crowds. In hindsight.. which is always 20/20.. what was I thinking? I dated woman after woman that had terrible habits and a very different perspective on life and love.

But back then.. I just wanted to have fun I guess. But how much time did I waste in the process?

If you really want to find your true love, know yourself... take a self-assessment and then ask yourself, "Are the people you hang around even in the neighborhood of the people that you should be?"

Do they have the same dreams and desires? The same attitude? The same interests?

This is why dating online makes a lot of sense for some people. Because you lay it all out there before you meet them and you aren't connecting with others just because they are in your space.

But the same should be applied offline. Seek out Like-Minded individuals and you will find your 'true love' stepping in front of you in quick fashion.
