Find the Man of your Dreams
Why is it that you have not found the man of your
dreams? If dating and finding your gay mate seem to be an
impossible dream don't worry, help is at hand. Only a few action
points are needed to get you on the track to finding that hot
hunk who will be your partner.
Figure out who you are and what you really want
Make a list of your top ten qualities. Jack Desling, a gay
dating coach, says that several people feel challenged when
asked to list ten things. It is easier to think of what you can
offer physically ( great smile, great body), emotionally ( great
listening skills, stability, a shoulder to lean on),
intellectually ( stimulating conversation, good understanding of
music, excellent wit, sharp mind), financially( stable financial
life, ability to balance accounts), and socially ( great dancing
skills, ability to negotiate with people).
Once you have a listed all your great qualities, also list what
you would look for in a guy. It is important to not come up with
a ambiguous list stating 'Sexy, great body, humorous guy'. Try
to think of more specific things like 'someone who smiles a lot,
is warm, is interested in sports ( or any other interest you may
have)'. Also list things that are a definite no, like someone
who smokes (if you are allergic to cigarette smoke).
Take Action
It is important to convert your thoughts into action. You want
to find the guy of your dreams, but he won't turn up at your
door step and say, " Hi Hunk!" If you really want to hook up
take things in your own hands. * Join a personals service. They
are a good way of taking in the local scene and finding
interesting people. * Join up at least one Gay club/
organization : Participation in common activities can lead to
friendship and much more. * Post your profile online : Online
dating can open several doors * Hang out at local haunts
populated by other gay singles
Attitude Counts
You will encounter both fear and failure. You will feel
intimidated when going for a date. If the fear overwhelms you,
keep smiling. Retain a positive attitude and remind yourself
that finding a mate is no easy job. There will be times when you
will hit a low ebb. You will also end up going on dates or
meeting up with people you don't like or click with. But persist
with your quest and keep your chin up when you meet with small
obstacles.
Increase you chances of a second date
There are simple things that you can do to increase the chances
of converting the first date into a second one : * Start the
conversation. Taking the initiative will work in your favor. *
Don't have high expectations : Thinking that the very first date
will unveil the perfect person who will turn you on physically
and emotionally, is unrealistic. Keep your expectations in check
and you won't be disappointed. * Look you best. Don't dress too
casually. * Keep it light. It is important to keep conversation
light and interesting. Do not talk about past relationships,
politics, religion or sex. Keep free of controversy. * Keep it
short. Anything more than a couple of hours will reveal too much
in too little time or indicate desperation. * Smile, it really
does improve your face value * No sex please. It may be great
but won't get you a second date. Jump into the action, use your
charms, persist in your quest and you will find the guy of your
dreams. Happy hunting!
