Are you single in the Milwaukee area?
We are restricted socially. We are feeling lonely, restless, hopeless. We’re wishing we had met someone prior to the pandemic!!! (If ONLY I wasn’t so picky!) We don’t want to go through anything like this again-alone. We are asking ourselves, hmmmm, maybe one of my old relationships can rekindle?
Are you having these thoughts?
They are normal. Singles worldwide are questioning themselves, living in the past, afraid of the future and wondering if they will ever find someone. I hear it daily.
And the answer is…YOU WILL. But it’s all about capturing this moment, relishing it and shifting your mindset.
Personally, aside from being unable to actually “date” I am loving this time. Why? I am getting to know people on a deeper level which could eventually build the start of a solid foundation. We are chatting, walking 6′ apart with our dogs, doing Factime or Zoom and embracing what is a viable and safe way to date. We are digging deeper. We are asking the questions that matter in a relationship-going way past the small talk and talking about feelings, dreams, needs and wants. It’s magical, if I don’t mind my saying so.
I understand not many people are able to go deep without first meeting them in person but I ask my clients and friends to think backwards. What? Yes. I coach my clients to make a list of what they MUST have and what they would LIKE to have. I ask them to look at these lists and do the work in finding out from potential love interests if the folks they are conversing with meet the criteria. To me, dating is a way to find a potential partner, not a way to pass the time and have a few laughs. I’ve already done that and am ready to love, be loved and experience all the feels in a well balanced romance. Are you?
So, during this time, I am asking those who are single, and reading this to get on some dating apps, hire a matchmaker (www.smartfunnysingle.com) and start talking. Start the process. Start getting to know someone. And start weeding out those who don’t meet the criteria. You’ll be a finely tuned machine once we can physically date, and head and shoulders above your “competitors.”
