The Boyfriend Repellant
Are you single, successful, and do other people other than your
grandma call you "pretty"? Despite all these attributes, do you
find yourself at wits end, trying to understand if for some
reason you unwittingly fell into a vat of boyfriend repellent?
Assuming you aren't smelly, desperately irritating, or otherwise
objectionable, your problem is that you've probably
unconsciously set yourself up as a boyfriend repellent. Don't
despair.
The good news is that the boyfriend repellent is not a permanent
state and you can easily turn yourself into the boyfriend magnet
in simple steps. The 4 Ps
As in marketing, there are 4 Ps to landing your man--product,
place, price, promotion. If you're finding this approach a
little too harsh, perhaps you're better off doing whatever
you've been doing for too long a time to even remember.
If you hold on long enough to your old ways, yes perhaps you
will stop being a repellant and prince charming will come
galloping down your street, part the crowd to your door, profess
his undying love and as the sun sets, you walk hand in hand and
in your heart you know you'll live together happily ever after.
Sure, why not?
If you're smart enough to realize that your tactic might not be
working precisely because there's something wrong with your
formula, then go through the 4 Ps and say goodbye to the
boyfriend repellant once and for all.
The fairest of them all
Now come on, be honest. What's lurking behind that fabulous
reflection in the mirror? Are you really the perfect product you
think you are? What is it in you that's more than meets the eye
and acts like a repellent to your love life?
You say you're perfect but if you look closer, there may be
cracks in your perfect sculpture. Whatever it is, nobody's
perfect and owning up to your shortcomings and being aware of
them to start with is a way to start shedding off the repellent
attributes that keep you from being happy.
Top shelf
If you still haven't changed your mind about needing a boyfriend
to be happy even after all that self improvement then move on to
the next P-place. Remember not to look for cherry blossoms in
India.
The point is, you cannot expect to find Mr. Right in the wrong
places. For instance, a bar is a place for hooking up with
singles but it's not the best place to hook up with other
singles interested in the committed relationship you so crave.
You're better off being a repellant in the wrong places.
Consider yourself lucky.
Two Ps in a pod
You must pay the price for the prize. If you really want to stop
being a repellant and start being a magnet then you're going to
have a little more adaptable to things and situations.
Remember that you get what you give and what little you give is
the same little thing that you get. Having gone through the
first two Ps and readjusting your world view to make room for an
improved one is a good start.
Promotion
Now that you've done sincere soul searching, know that you are
no longer a repellent. No need to hide behind your shell for
fear of being the boyfriend repellent. Revel in the rapture
knowing you're now a magnet and no longer a repellant.
