Drawing Love Into Your Life

Drawing Love Into Your Life

Remember the movie from the late 1990’s Runaway Bride with Julie Roberts? She was running from yet another relationship, hopped on a FedEx truck and the humorous comment was made that no one knew where she was going, but she’d be there by 10:30am the next day.

It would be nice if life worked that way but it doesn’t. If you are lonely and wanting someone to come into your life, you cannot sit at home and wait for God, UPS, of FedEx to hand deliver the perfect person to your door. When you are lonely and seeking a relationship, the matter of finding someone to be with can seem hopeless, the wait eternal. It can be quite depressing but sitting at home will not help, even with the advent of internet dating, you need to take charge of your life, take decisive action, take measures to meet people.

So if the internet is not your thing and you’d like to meet someone in a “real” environment where (hopefully) you can judge and ascertain a little more about them, how do you do it? Think of hobbies and interests you enjoy. You don’t have to already be involved, get involved. If you love cooking, sign up for a cooking class. If you love wine, go to winery tours and wine tastings. If you love food, find local restaurants that place large groups of people at banquet style tables and offer amuse bouche tastings. Go to book stores or poetry readings, local art performances where people present their own works. There are so many options other than the internet, although that is still an option.

So, this week, get involved in something you love and you just may meet your Julia Roberts or Richard Gere, just not showing up at your door courtesy of FedEx.
