Mr. Right….right?

Finally I found him! I feel it in my bones.  He’s perfect…he’s tall and handsome and successful. He graduated from college and owns his own company.  He wants kids.  He didn’t have some cheesy “I love long walks on the beach and sitting in front of a romantic fire sipping a glass of wine” profile write-up.  He contacted me first with a funny, charming one0liner.  He didn’t tell me his whole life story and about all his failed relationships and how all his ex-girlfriends turned out to be psycho. 

I’ve been emailing back and forth every day for a week now.  A few days ago he asked for my phone number.  He hasn’t called me yet, but he sends me the sweetest, most thoughtful texts every day. He always asks me how I am and how my kids are.  I get butterflies in my stomach every time I get a text from him.  My friends and co-workers keep asking me why I’m smiling and I don’t even realize I am!  We just have this weird kind of chemistry and connection.  I mean I know we haven’t actually talked on the phone yet…it’s just easier for him to text than talk in his line of work, which is totally understandable.  I’ve never felt this way before though and I’ve done my fair share of on-line dating.  I know we haven’t met yet, but I just know he’s the one…even my mom and all my girlfriends think so too! 

Sound familiar ladies!?  Come on, fess up.  It’s VERY familiar to my girlfriends and I.  And don’t get me wrong—on-line dating is it now.  It is the wave of the future.  Who has time to go out and just hope to be at the right place at the right time and run into the man of our dreams…especially with a job, children, activities, homecare, etc.  It does still happen the old-fashioned way…sometimes. But with a little help, guidance, a few tips and tricks, some do’s and don’ts and LOTS of intuition, perception, and intelligence you just might meet the love of your life.  I know I did…he’s kind, patient, gentle, loving, thoughtful, funny, a great dad, a hard-worker, a great provider, tall, athletic, sexy, good-looking, completely adores me and my children, and thinks I am the most beautiful woman on the planet and the love of his life. 

Now before you get mad at me and start calling me horrible names and cursing me for my luck…I’m here to help you.  My path wasn’t easy and it wasn’t immediate and I made MANY MANY mistakes along the way and kissed a lot of frogs. But I learned from my mistakes and got better at the game (and don’t kid yourself, dating and relationships IS and always will be a game).  It’s not about tricking someone or putting up a false front, it’s about being on your toes, having your arsenal ready and knowing how to use it and it’s about strategy.  There are dating rules that must be followed for success, just as there are traffic laws that must be followed for success. We can’t just haphazardly get from point A to point B by floating around in LaLa Land and giving into our every whim and emotion. 

My lovely ladies, you are all beautiful and deserving of a great man but you are also amazing and complete without one.  Share your stories with me, your successes and your failures, and I’ll share mine with you.  Please feel free to ask me advice or questions…if I can’t help, maybe one of the other girls will have an answer.  After all, we are goddesses…hear us roar!
