You have to love yourself before you can expect someone else to... focus on the things under your control: effort, hobbies, appearance, and social circle. This self-love journey may not guarantee an immediate partner, but it ensures you'll like yourself and eventually attract someone who likes you too.
When looking for a partner, have binary filters... it makes saying no easier and helps in finding someone who truly aligns with your needs.
Be where the fish are, metaphorically speaking; meet potential partners where they reside... just like marketing to find customers. Geography plays a role in finding an ideal partner, as shared experiences and values can bring people together.
The Dinner Test: Beyond physical attraction, assess if you enjoy the person's company enough to spend significant time together. Mental compatibility is vital for a long-lasting relationship, as highlighted by realizing you'll share numerous meals together.
