Dear Cookie:

I am trying to meet the right man, but I always seem to attract the same type of person!

Most of my relationships have similar endings, and when they are over, I am back on the singles scene looking for Mr.. Right again (although I always end up with Mr.. Right Now)

I am beginning to think that there is something wrong with me. How can I break this pattern and find a decent man?

Ann,

The important thing is that you recognize there is a pattern with the men you are choosing and you are not alone in this, believe me. Woman have a tendency to repeat the same patterns over again when looking for a potential suitor and that means having our hearts broken more times than not.

The key here is to take your time when meeting someone new and really ask yourself the tough questions and not be afraid to ask questions up front at the start of a new relationship.

Make a list and ask yourself, what am I really looking for and what do I really want long term? What are my goals and don't be afraid to ask the new man his goals for the future. Where does he see himself down the road, is he interested in marriage or just dating? Are you compatible on different levels..emotionally, spiritually, intelligently? Do you share some common interests and activities?

Remember a good relationship is built on mutual respect and friendship first and foremost. I hope this helps you as you continue your journey to find true love.

Keep smiling, Cookie

I have tried internet dating, speed dating, blind dates, email, chat rooms, etc
and I still have not met anyone that I really like.

I am tempted to try an event where I can meet a large group of people face to face , maybe I will have better luck meeting a nice girl.
I am a shy person, and sometimes I have a problem motivating myself to get out of the house.

I don't want to spend thousands of dollars with a dating or matchmaking service. What do you suggest so I can meet new people in a casual no-pressure environment?

Thanks,

Dan:

I commend you for trying so many different ways to meet women however I think you're latest idea is the best one yet! Try going to a singles dance, they are a great way to meet woman face to face in a fun atmosphere without the pressure that goes along with blind dates, or speed dating. 

And even if dancing is not your thing you can still mingle and meet new people and who knows you may even discover you enjoy dancing! It only takes meeting that one special someone and you're on you're way! So try a singles dance and enjoy yourself!
