Perhaps you’ll find love at the vegetable counter instead of in a bar. Or after writing a personal ad.www.creativecommons.org
There are a bunch of people in the world who would say that they were born with a certain talent. Some of them call themselves, and each other, poets and writers. Just to keep others out. It's bullshit. Anyone can write. But to get good at it, you need to practice. Get up early and sit in your chair, stop whining and write. Here are: Seven things you can write.
The strange thing isn’t that it’s considered a bit uncool to post personal ads or date people online. The strange thing is that it’s accepted to at any time to go out to a pub, get drunk and fuck a stranger in the hope that one day, through this method, you’ll meet someone who you'll share the rest of your life with. As if you, by going to a bar and observing a person's jawbone or attitude, will find the woman or man of your life. And that is if there is only ONE woman or man that you could share your life with. There are a thousand different ways to meet people and there are thousands of people who could be your future partner. The remarkable thing is how closed most of us are to the various methods and opportunities that exist.
Such as:
- Dating on the web.
- Writing a personal ad.
- Going on a blind date.
Writing a personal ad isn’t easy. It’s natural to begin to slip into the usual traps of thinking that you want to meet someone who shares your interests. Maybe you want to meet someone who doesn’t at all have the same interests. So you’ll have something to talk about and can learn from each other. Write that in your personal ad. Maybe you want to meet someone you don’t understand at all. Write that in your personal ad. Dare to go a different way. Write a totally honest personal ad where you write exactly what you're looking for and don’t use worn-out phrases such as beach walks, non-smoker seeking non-smoker or middle-aged man who likes women is looking for similar someone like-minded. Think again. Do the opposite. Dare to.
