Make a list of the your ideal person. Be as selfish and shallow as you want because this IS your ideal mate. This list will help focus your thoughts on what is important and what might not be important in your quest for the "one".
After my friend told me this, I decided to make my own list. Fast-forward to October and then it all came together for me. I don't think it was any kind of a voodoo thing, but it definitely helped me look for the hints of the items on MY list.
Just some food for thought.
PS: I'm sorry I haven't been writing much here, but there isn't much to write about. It seems that most of my friends have girlfriends right now (although there is one friend in particular, you know who you are, that I am dying to write stories about, but he hasn't had any adventures to tell!)
Merry Christmas!
