Our Ten Best Tips for Finding True Love

We all deserve happiness and if finding true love is still what is making your heart go pitter patter, then read on!

Finding True Love Tip #1: Let go of the past

Before you even think about engaging in a new relationship it is really important to resolve your past. Finding new love only to bring in all the negativity and heartbreaks from the past is a sure way to prematurely end your new relationship. Leave the past where it belongs - in the past.

Finding True Love Tip #2: Your new love most likely won't come knocking on your front door

Unless he's the mailman or delivery gal. We can't tell you how important it is to get out there and meet new people. Take a class, tell your friends that you're ready and available to date and to let you know if they can think of someone. When you're invited to parties, say yes and go just to show the universe that you're seriously ready.

Finding True Love Tip #3: Remain open minded

In our younger years perhaps we chased after a list that sounded something like this: "tall, dark and handsome." Or perhaps like this: "blonde hair, long legs, big boobs." It's time to realize that your perfect mate may come in a completely different package. Give your dates a chance and don't shut them down before you've even had a chance to get to know them.

Finding True Love Tip #4: Do go on blind dates

One of the things you may never, ever want to do is go on a blind date. Instead of closing yourself down to this opportunity, look at blind dates as a first date. Simply shift your perception and consider it an actual first date. Trust your friends who set you up on a blind date and bring your most fun side with you.

Finding True Love Tip #5: No need to rush

Just because chemistry may be confusing you and you feel that it's time to get married and have children, remember that time is on your side. Take your time to get to know someone and know that time is a great revealer. There is no need to rush and have regrets later. Make sure this is really someone you can be devoted to for the rest of your life.

Finding True Love Tip #6: Accept romance and make great love

Sometimes older people who are in the dating field have their guards up and their yellow cones around their hearts are screaming to "stay back." Instead, know that it's totally okay to feel romance and that love making can be even more fun than when you were in your 20s. Enjoy it!

Finding True Love Tip #7: Moving in together

It's wonderful to come home to your mate. When it's time to move in together, it's important to remember to give and re-give and that you may both bring furniture and accessories and pictures to decorate your new home. Remember to create a home together, both partners should be found energetically within the home.

Finding True Love Tip #8: Dealing with fear and assets

Sometimes people are afraid for their amassed fortune and before moving in or getting married they insist on their new partner signing a pre-nuptial agreement. It's important for both partners to talk about the implications of this and to get clear what you really want.

Finding True Love Tip #9: It's time get married!

Do you really want to or need to get married? Do you want a big wedding or just a small barefoot type wedding out on the beach with just a few friends? Get clear about these things before this day arrives, you may be surprised to hear that your new partner has zero interest in tying the knot, especially if he or she has been married before.

Tip #10: Happily ever after

Is there really such a thing? Is your one and only true love someone you meet when you're in your teens or can it happen later in life? Of course it can! There are many people who marry for the first or second or even third time once they hit their 50s and they've never been happier. It's not a matter of age, it's a matter of what you're willing to put into the relationship.
