7 Steps to Finding Your Perfect Man ...

1. Know Yourself

Finding your perfect man requires knowing what you want. Before you can marry your soulmate, you have to be able to recognize him. Write down the qualities that you need in a man, that you would like him to have, and that would be definite deal breakers. Just don't treat the list as law. A guy doesn't have to cross off every single item on your checklist. It's just a way to narrow down your options.

2. Look around

You might have met your soulmate without realizing it. Before you go on the lookout for him, see if he's someone you already know. Your best guy friend, your neighbor, or your co-worker are all potential mates. Mr. Right could've been right there the whole time. Ask yourself if the men surrounding you are just buddies, or if they could be more.

3. Chat Away

You can't marry him if you're too terrified to talk to him. You need to channel your bravery and start chatting. When you get too embarrassed, all you have to do is walk away. If you're too shy to start up a conversation, at least look approachable. Take out your earbuds and stop crossing your arms. You want to look inviting.

4. Get out There

Take a look at your list and see if your desired qualities revolve around the same topic. If you want a man who is creative, passionate, and musically talented, go to local concerts. If you want someone who is athletic, muscular, and energetic, make a stop at the gym. You'll meet plenty of people with the traits that you're looking for. All you have to do is go to the places where your dream man would go. It's that simple.

5. Serial Date

Don't turn down too many dates. Even if he doesn't fit your list, you should give him at least one chance. There's no harm in it. You'd be surprised at how drastically your opinion of someone can change after one dinner. He might even make you change your list completely.

6. Ask around

Blind dates don't always end horribly. Some of your friends know you better than you know yourself. If they claim that their cousin in the perfect fit for you, it might be true. Some people are born matchmakers. It doesn't hurt to give him a chance. You could end up falling madly in love.

7. Don't Waste

If you know that a guy isn't right for you, don't date him. If you're both looking for a little fun, you can have a fling. However, if you're looking for a lifelong commitment, there's no need to waste time. If you're with the wrong guy, you could miss your chance with the right guy. You want to be single when he comes along. It'll make life much easier.

Don't be upset if you haven't found your dream man yet. You should smile, because he's out there somewhere, waiting to meet you. Have you been lucky enough to find your soulmate?
