When I meet new clients and interview potential matches, I sense a lot of their anxiety around finding the one. If you’re single, the pressure to find a soulmate can be overwhelming. Whether it's from your family or society, there's an expectation that you will eventually find someone who is perfect for you. But, what does it really mean to find your soulmate?
First and foremost, remember that finding true love isn’t something that can be rushed or forced. If you feel like your family or society is pressuring you to find a soulmate before you are ready, then take some time for yourself and focus on what makes you happy. Don’t let anyone else define what happiness means for you; only you know what will truly make you happy in life.
When you’re open to partnership, start by taking an honest look at yourself and what qualities are important to you in a partner. Once you have established this, try to meet potential partners through friends and social circles rather than relying solely on online dating sites. Or, better yet, outsource the process to a professional (wink wink!). Don’t forget that physical attraction is important too; try not to settle for someone just because they seem nice if there isn't at least an initial spark between the two of you.
How will you know if you’ve made a connection? Well, finding your true love is often an indescribable feeling; it's hard to put into words but easy enough to recognize when it happens. If the relationship brings out the best in both of you and makes each day better than the last, chances are good that this could be “the one”. When relationships become comfortable yet exciting all at once, it could mean that two people have found the balance between passion and stability (the elusive jackpot!). If both of you feel like you’re maintaining your individual identities while being together, it’s a very good sign.
Finding true love isn’t impossible but it certainly takes time and effort—especially when faced with outside pressures. I always recommend taking some time for yourself before starting your search, meeting potential partners organically through friends or through trusted confidantes, and focusing on physical attraction as well as emotional connection. When you’re ready to find your soul mate but want a little extra help meeting the right kind of people, I’m here.
Good luck out there!
Affectionately yours,
Amy
