Meeting the Perfect Guy

It’s true that there are plenty of fish in the sea, but how do you go about reeling one in? And how do you know if he’s really the one? If there were a tried-and-true scientific formula for finding romance, then believe us, we’d all be living the love of our dreams, and you probably wouldn’t be taking this quiz. But isn’t that what’s so great about love? It’s mysterious, unexpected, and hits you when you least expect it. That said, you can help it improve its aim. Here’re some ways to find your true love faster:

Think about what you want in a relationship.
If you don’t know what you’re looking for, how will you know when you find it? While you’re waiting for Mr. Perfect, take some time to picture your ideal relationship, and what you want in a guy. Is he sensitive and quiet? Or more the outgoing and bold type? Is marriage on your to-do list, or would you be happy with more of a casual but lasting situation?

Put yourself out there.
You won’t meet a guy if you don’t try! Dating apps work for plenty of people, and are pretty low-stakes, but we’re also big believers in the old-fashioned way: chance encounters and brushes with strangers out in the real world. Go somewhere public and social, like a café, bar, park, or even a bowling alley, and see what happens! It usually works best if you make yourself a regular, so that other people get familiar with you. Or, recruit a group of friends and hit the town! Make it a team effort. It’s easier to approach a hot guy with a team of cheerleaders behind you.

Try, try again.
Some of us get it right on the first try, and we’re like, super happy for those people. For sure. The rest of us, though, rely on trial and error. The first few Mr. Rights usually turn out to be Mr. Wrongs, but that doesn’t mean romance is dead or you should stop trying! If things don’t work as you hoped, dust yourself off, ask yourself what went wrong and what you could do differently, then get back out there! Romance is an art, and artists don’t just give up if they mess up—they keep painting until they’ve created something beautiful.
