Dating advice is useful if you're already dating, but what if you have no idea where to start? With that in mind, I suggest three venues that you can explore with the goal of meeting eligible men.

• Get involved in an activity that you are passionate about. Join a gym, cooking class, pottery class, take dancing lessons or anything else that you are passionate about or at least interested in trying. By doing this, you will be in contact with potentially quality men who share a common interest.
• Online dating forums or websites. Quality dating websites can help you find the love of your life. The advantage of these types of sites is that you can select pre-defined criteria such as education level, income, hobbies and interests, age, and location. The use of online dating sites can also provide a buffer time span that can allow you to screen for frauds, or determine to some extent what the other person is looking for, and other criteria that may be important to you. Online dating sites can be tailored to YOUR specifications. It is much easier to turn someone down in an email or on a site than in person. You have no inhibitions and can be fully honest without fear of humiliation. You may think to yourself, as many others have that only desperate people post profiles online. This is simply not the case. In today's modern society we are simply busy and end up putting dating at the bottom of our list of priorities.
• At work. Workplace relationships may be frowned upon by your organization, but they can be lasting and meaningful. As long as you ensure that limits are set, and that you make sure that conflicts of interest are not an issue, consider it. You spend so much time at work; why not consider dating a colleague? Have lunch with a colleague of interest, and see if you cannot make a special connection. With this method, I warn you not to be too upfront at the beginning, see if there is chemistry first, and then proceed.

Open your eyes! Good looking, intelligent, funny men are all around us. Be proactive in your search, and be open to new experiences, and enjoy life. It is crucial to be comfortable in one's own skin. A partnership involves two partners, not two halves. By this I mean that you have to be able to bring something constructive to the other's life. Take control of your love life, and you'll find what you've been missing.

Love is the most powerful thing. Better than chocolate, better than success, better than all the money or possessions you could accumulate in a lifetime. Don't get desperate, never settle, and keep looking. The love of your life is waiting to be found!
