Hook Up With The Love Connection
Looking to spice up your
life a little, add some romance find that love connection?
Well, caution: fees can be sky high. For example, AARP
Magazine reported that a company called Gentlepeople
charges from $15,000 to $50,000 to hook up you up with
the right person. And FOX News reported that professional
matchmakers across the country are charging up to $15,000
to pair people up. Instead of paying so much money,
try starting here and see how you do with some of these
tips.
ONLINE DATING – Seek out a reputable
online dating service. Begin by asking friends, co-workers
and other you may know who have tried online dating,
and see which places they recommend. Also, head to your
favorite search engine and type in “online dating
services” to see which ones come up. Start a journal
or notebook and log your progress. Write out the URLs
or website links and do some research: list fees, rules
and regulations, complete contact information of the
site and any other useful information that you run across.
Then begin slow. If something doesn’t feel right,
trust your instincts and STOP.
COMMUNICATION – Go slow and don’t
try to share every tidbit of information about yourself
over night. Keep away from subjects that you don’t
agree upon. When communicating via email and other electronic
means (chat rooms, forums, etc.) don’t use all
upper case letters (that’s called “shouting”),
slang or your personal address for safety. Do use a
firewall and anti-virus software to keep your computer
safe, too. Key in “online safety tips” and

FRIENDSHIP – As your friendship
grows, check to see if you are not only getting along
pretty well together, but also handling conflicts well
together. If you miss a chat time, for instance, is
that it? Are you in the doghouse for a week? And gradually
decide if you should meet in person. If so, make sure
it’s a safe place out in public and that you are
both legal adults.
LOVE GOALS – Gradually develop
goals together so you’ll have a sense of direction.
Write them down in a notebook just for the two of you.
And over time, develop them, revise them, cross them
off your list. The idea is to HAVE goals together and
work towards a common good.
So before you fork out thousands of
dollars looking for Mr. or Ms. Right, reach out and
try to help yourself first. Go slow and steady, and
use caution. Once you find your own love connection,
you could set up your own matchmaker website!
