Tired of being Single??? Dreading another lonely Valentines Day? Take my advice
I kind of fancy myself a little bit of a Dr. Phil junior.
I understand people's natural longings for love and relationships.
So, I thought I would share some great words of wisdom for those of you who are dreading another Valentine's Day alone.

This year can be different. Below are three tips that will help you find love or something close to it. Remember, this is the biggest time of the year when people are looking for love. Get out there now and get it. The first two weeks of February are the best time ever to meet men and women.
Not only are the ones who have been looking for love more desperate, they are also willing to lower their standards which could bode well for you. I've known some women who have set a deadline of Valentines Day to find Mr. Right. During the first two weeks of February, they are willing to settle for Mr. Close Enough..or even Mr. Has A Heartbeat.
The pool is as full as it will be all year. Here are some great pearls of wisdom that will make this Valentines a dream come true.

1. Don't be too good for sloppy seconds...or rebounders.

A lot of people get dumped just before Valentines Day. They are hurt and need someone to make them feel desirable.
My brother holds the record for breaking up with women a week before Valentines. If he became disenchanted or disappointed with how Christmas and New Years went, he would usually lower the boom just before Valentines. He felt that if the wheels were coming off, there was no reason to buy the flowers and spend the money on a dinner and romance. Cut the cord early and move on.
I believe he is personally responsible for putting about 10 great women back into the dating pool within 10 days of Valentines.
They were all relatively nice and height weight proportional. If you think that he sounds selfish...think again. You see, not only did he put 10 great ones back in the dating pool, he added himself too. So, a total of 11 people back in the pool. Wow! Love is great and so is breaking up!!!

2. Go where the action is. You won't find it sitting by yourself sitting on the sofa.

I had another brother who would take a side job working in the woman's shoe department for the last week of January and would quit shortly at the end of February. It was the best place for him to meet women. A lot of women are looking for shoes for Valentines and even more after Valentines. Sure you have to feel a lot of feet to smell the right ones...but, eventually it didn't work. However, on the up side...he made some side money that he used by himself a beer and then he felt much better. So get out there and smell the coffee.

3. Get out of your comfort zone.

Whatever you have been doing up to this point has been a total failure. You need to change not only what you are doing...but who you are. If you are a blonde, be a brunette. If you are short, get some leg extension surgery. If you are unhappy and miserable, just fake it and act happy. No one will ever know until the second date and the first date might change you into being happy anyway. Too often we get into traps that we can't get out of. I had a friend in college who changed his last name from Taylor to Andrewjeski. He went on to meet a beautiful Polish girl and is now happily married. See, he understood the power of changing yourself.

Also, if you never have asked anyone out, change by asking everyone out. That's right. EVERYBODY. You are in a desperate situation and you are acting like by some miracle someone is going to fall in love with you for who you are. Likely not going to happen!
You have to MAKE IT HAPPEN. Mix it up. Look at everyone around you right now and ask them out by the end of the day.

So, there you go. You are very welcome. I am sure this is going to help. In fact, if it doesn't work you can have your money back.
And remember, it's not the messenger who has the problem. You do.
Happy Valentines Day. Now GO GET 'EM!!!

That's How I See It.
