How to Find a Date: 2 Secrets That Will Help You

Before you start dating, there are a lot of thing you have to consider. As a matter of fact, that list is so numerous, you could spend a year contemplating that before you even get around to asking someone out. Everyone looks to try and find someone that fits their criteria, but most people don't even know what their personal want list is.

Well, here are two sure fire things to look for in a person when you're describing who you want to date. All though this is not a complete list, it should at least get you started down the road of developing your ultimate other.

1) The age old question.

There really is no formula for coming up with the perfect age for you're to date. One formula that has been common over time is to take your age and create a range of -10 years to +10 years. Of course some will say that range is too wide of a gap and will want to change that number to 6 or less. It's all based on preference.

There are a couple of side notes to this formula. One, don't look for someone just because they are younger. If you're a 35 year old guy or gal, don't go after a 25 year old so you can have a trophy on your arm. Sure it looks good in public, but that person is at a different point in their life than you are and chances are slim that the relationship will last.

It's also just as detrimental to look for someone who is older to take the place of mommy or daddy. This is just as counter productive as again you and that person maybe looking for other things. Also, that person may not want to take the place that was voided due to a lack of a parent or lack of a child parent relationship.

2) Beautiful people only?

It's a fact of nature that men and women are attracted to what they deem to be called beautiful. But that can also leave an unpleasant after taste. If you take the world into consideration, there are only 6-8 percent of the individuals that would be called beautiful. That means that the other 92-94 percent would all be chasing after them.

But narrowing your search to only the most attractive you can find, you're leaving diamonds completely covered with coal. Don't short change yourself, there are plenty of individuals who are right in front of you that may not be Miss America or Mr. Universe, but would make a great catch and still have attractive qualities.

You should be looking for substance with as much flash as possible. Beauty and good looks fade over time, put your interest into the core of a person, and you'll be a thankful down the road.

Use these to important tips when choosing who you date. They will get you off to a good start.
