The first thing this study tells me is that your chances of meeting someone while sitting at home watching TV are highly unlikely. However, you can take that chance if you wish, as we do have two lucky couples who met that way. One man needed access into the women's backyard for some work they were starting. Another man was calling on a neighbor just to see how she was doing.
The next thing this poll clearly indicates is that there is NOT one, sure-fire way to meet that special someone of your dreams, but that you DO have so many options you should be excited!
Another glaring revelation is that the top ways people meet are at work, through a friend or family member introducing you, or out doing something you enjoy.
You probably also noticed that on-line dating is right up there with the rest as far as being a popular and successful method for people to meet. In fact, Match.com has a new commercial that says 1 in 5 of all couples are now meeting on-line.
An interesting thing I noted is that “at church” and “at a bar” tied.
Also important to know is that no matter where you are, at home, at work, or at play, you need to bring your top game and always look your best. These results clearly indicate it could be ANYWHERE at ANYTIME!
The final confirmation I gleaned from the answers to this survey, is that for those who are struggling with finding the person they are meant to be with there must be something blocking them, such as limiting beliefs, fears and doubts, since others clearly are able to meet “the one”!
For an action step to move you forward and closer to meeting that special person for you, I would invite you to respond to this blog by telling me your first reaction and any other revelations you received upon reading it. Also, tell me something you are going to do different in the dating arena now that you are equipped with this knowledge.
Until next time…..
