How To Find Love In 2013

How many times in the last year did you grumble that ‘there are no men/women out there’ or ‘all the good ones are taken’ whilst sinking into a pint or bottle of wine? But how many of us actually put ourselves out there and give dating a real go?

At the start of every new year we make a whole heap of promises to ourselves, we commit to going to the gym, going on a diet or perhaps getting a new job. But how many of us make a commitment to finding love? If you’re single and want to find someone then making that your goal for 2013 could be the push you need.

It would be ideal if finding someone was like a movie where we get approached by random devastatingly attractive and rich strangers who sweep us off our feet but let’s call that plan B! If you want to get out there and back on the dating scene then online dating could be the perfect place to start and your favourite radio station has the best local dating site for you! We’ve got thousands of singles who are looking for the exact same thing as you and live in your area.

With this in mind and in the spirit of new year resolutions, we’ve put together 5 tips to help you turn your love life around this year…
1) Put Your ‘They Must Have’ List In The Bin
Whether it’s in your head or written down, get rid of the list of all the things your perfect partner must have - it isn’t doing you any favours. Open up your mind to new opportunities and give people a chance. The thing is, for so many of us, when we do meet that perfect person they tend to be the opposite of what we thought we were looking for so bin the ‘ideal’ list and don’t limit your search…go on…it’s liberating!

2) Give Online Dating A Chance
If you haven’t tried online dating yet, why not give it a whirl? It’s fast becoming the best way to meet someone…all the old stigmas from years ago have long gone and everyone knows someone who’s met someone special this way. The beauty of online dating is, you get to meet loads of different people, have fun and make the initial contact from the comfort of your own home (with a nice glass of wine or beer on the sofa!)…so there are no awkward approaches and you can fit it in around everything else you do in the day!

3) Be Positive About Finding Someone
Whether you’ve been single for a while or you’ve had a series of bad dates, don’t give up! There are great people out there who are in the same boat as you so if you catch yourself thinking ‘all the good ones are gone’ or type casting all men and women then stop that thought in its tracks and turn it around. Be positive about dating and finding someone, it’s amazing what a bit of positivity can do.

4) Tell Your Mates And Family You’re Looking
As well as online dating, asking your nearest and dearest if they know any eligible single people is also a great way to meet someone new. Your friends and family will probably know loads of people or have friends of friends who might also be looking to date so get them on the case and get them to help you in your quest!

5) Don’t Give Up
If you had a disappointing date or you felt they weren’t that into you, don’t let it put you off. Take the positives from the evening, dust yourself off and enjoy looking for someone else. The chances of you meeting Mr or Miss Perfect on your very first date could be slim so don’t let it get you down…chalk it up to experience or a funny story and get back in the game!
