Finding That Special Person

shaz77_2

Hi All,

Some of you may have seen from other posts I've made that I've never had much luck in my life regarding matters of the heart with only one significant ex.

As I approach 29 I relly want to focus on this area of my life, I know these things just don't happen, however I was wondering what others did to find that special someone in their lives? Maybe some of you were a bit luckless like me but managed to change tactics or perhaps it just happened for them - I'd be interested in your feedback as I'm hopeless at the moment.

Broken heart after an engagement that went wrong I moved into a flat and got a job two nights aweek in a local pub (was working FT as well) as I was skint after paying the mortgage and figured it was two nights I was out and earning not spending. My OH was a 'regular' who came in with the lads after footie training and 25 years (23 married) and three children later the rest, as they say, is history

You will no doubt find your special 'someone' when you least expect to.

Get mingling

This is very true and it what happened with me.

Does anyone really think there is any special method to meeting someone?

The only real method is to put yourself in as many social situations as you can to widen your social circle and thus have the chance of meeting someone.

I met my OH at work.

After 2 years of being mates and working together, we went on a jolly freebie day out with a few others, and realised we'd like to be more than friends.

I was 29 at the time, and wasn't even looking for anyone, having just come out a 5 year relationship a few months before!

3.5 years later, we're still together and have a little boy.

It will happen when the time is right and when you are least looking

I met my Mr Right at 19½ married at 20½ and here we are 36 years (come December) still going strong. Our daughter gets married a week on Saturday at the grand old age of 32½, having got together with her husband to be about 2 - 3 years ago.

So you are not too old and it will happen for you I am sure.

You need to kiss an awful lot of frogs before you find your Prince

Get out there and mix. The more people you come into contact with the higher chance you have of meeting someone. Above all else just be yourself and have some fun. 29 is still very young to be worrying about settling down. Plenty of time for all that yet.

Don't try! It sounds odd but before I met my husband I wasn't bothered by meeting someone...
We met at university, just dawdling along and booosh, love at first sight.

You'll meet someone, I believe there's someone out there for everyone!
