Question 129: 100 Wrongs With No Right In Sight

"I've been dating since I was sixteen and still haven't found mr. Right or even mr. Almost Right.... I've dated assholes dickheds and morons.... Not once have I come close to meeting a nice person who can give me what I want... Is it hopeless or is there reelly somone out there for me?"

I would never tell anyone something is hopeless; as long as what you want is within reason. When someone says, "I always meet so-and-so" or "I only ever attract this kinda of person", I have to point the finger at them and let them know that, more than likely, it's their fault.

Of course I don't mean it's their fault the person is a piece of shit. I mean their choice of person is to blame for their numerous failures in finding Mr/Miss Right.

First off, get rid of the notion of there being such a thing as a Mr. Right and look for someone you just like being around. When people look for something specific (and they usually do when looking for a Mr. Right) they tend to hold onto pointless standards; i.e. makes a certain amount of money, look a certain way, be from a certain place, have certain things, the list goes on.

By all means, have your standards, but always keep them reasonable and within reason. You meet someone nice who's fun to be around and you bail on them cause they make less then you'd like, then you'll forever find Mr. Wrong.

Secondly, if you've been going to the same places over and over again looking for someone then it's time to change the venue. Go to clubs and bars? Try bookstores, the mall, just someplace that's a far cry from your usual haunts.

Thirdly, and most important, don't be on the lookout for Mr. Right. If you're always looking then you'll most likely end up repeating your habit of dating Mr. Wrong after Wrong. Be patient and take your time getting to know someone before committing to a dating relationship.

These are the three basic guidelines for dating (Don't be shallow and have an open mind. Try new places. Don't Rush.). But please do try any method you see fit; there are plenty of opinions out there on trying to meet someone.

Good Luck.
