Searching for Mr Right This Year? Here’s How to Find Him

There’s no denying it, the world is that little bit sweeter when you have someone special to share it with. Yes, being in love is fantastic but it can be hard to find the peanut butter to your jelly (or the Tayto to your crisp sandwich).

If you’re hoping for love to blossom in your life this year, here are a few simple steps you can take to help you improve your chances. We can’t guarantee that Cupid will hit you with his arrow, but every little helps!

Get ready for love: It’s all well and good saying that you want a boyfriend but it can be hard to invite romance into your life if you’re still holding a grudge from a past relationship. You need to let go of the old so that you’re not bringing any baggage into your lovely new relationship when it comes along. Spend some time making peace with your exes and what went down between the two of you.

Know what you want: Are you looking for your future husband or would you be happier just having a casual fling with someone? It is essential to know what exactly you want when it comes to dating. This stops you from wasting your time dating people who can’t give you what you want or live up to your expectations.

When you're dating it's important to figure out just what you're looking for in a man

Love is imperfect: Despite what we’re lead to believe by chick flicks and the media, a perfect love doesn’t actually exist. In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, love is messy and insane. Don’t make the mistake of setting your standards too high. Being too picky will make things even harder for you in the long run.

Embrace the world: Prince Charming won’t find you if you spend your evenings sitting in front of the telly. Fact. In order to increase your chances of finding Mr Right, you need to get out into the world and meet new people. We’re not saying that you have to go clubbing every single night of the week. Why not take up a new hobby or join a tag rugby team? You’ll be surprised at the places you can find potential dates.

Allow your friends to help: Ask your female friends if they know any single, eligible men who might suit you. Hey, you’d ask your friends to help you get your dream job so why shouldn’t you enlist their help in the hunt for your dream man?
