Dear Losing All Hope:
I have given this advice on many occassion,
And I have enjoyed a certain degree of success with it. Most people who tell me they are looking for mr. right. and I ask them where they looked last week, They will mention a bar, pub or dance club.
Let me take a wild stab at it, mr. right is a man that loves you, appreciates you, comforts you and is there for you. He's humorous and affecionate, intelligent and good looking. And he has money and a career. Along with a big house. that he will wisk you off to.
Well surprise, surprise, it is possible to find that sort of man of course but not at a bar at 1:30 in the morning. mr right has a job, hes working for a living,. so I would say, as with most people you may be looking in the wrong place for mr. right
Think about what the man you are looking for is like!
And then imagine where a man like that would go to have fun. or to relax. or to look for love and relationships.
Heres the tough part, place yourself in these locations and wait for mr. right. Oh, by the way make sure you have all the things you want in mr. right already installed in YOUR character BEFORE you go looking. or you just may end up being Mrs. Wrong.
Hope it works out...

Because you are living in a fantasy world where everything is perfect. Real life doesn't work that way. There is no such thing as "The Perfect Guy", except in your head. There is no such thing as "True happy love". If you want a successful relationship, it takes work and effort to make it last. Sitting around daydreaming about Prince Charming will not work. Quit looking for Mr. Right and find Mr. Alright, and work from there.

There probably is no Mr. Right.... In my case there are a lot of "Mr. Right Now's" but seriously..... No one is perfect. Life isn't like the movies. You don't meet someone, fall in love and live happily ever after. In the movies you don't see the young couple 5 years later with screaming kids, massive amounts of debt and fighting all the time. A relationship involves hard work and overlooking the little annoying things..... Maybe that's why I am not so great at them:-)
Good luck!

Girl you should never lose hope cause you know what mr right is every where it could even be the person next to you standing in the coffee room at work you never know its just that you have to get ur self out there and try to find him cause the rights never find you!! just remember that the guys go for the apples that fall from the apple tree and they don't want to go reach for the ones on the top, And ur at the top so just wait a little for that one guy to reach for you!!

Where are you looking? Join a Christian singles group or go on line on a Christian site. You are only 26? I didn't meet Mr. Right for me, until I was 36, my second time around. The first time I was 17 and he was Mr. Wrong.

Get out of your house and go out as often as possible. But don't take any bum that only wants a one night stand. Have a clear idea of what you want. Sometimes, you don't have to look farther than under your nose for Mr. Right. He might be right there but remember that Mr. Right is not Mr Perfect because there will never be perfection. Compromise, patience, prayer and trust is all you need.

First, get the notion out of your head that there is a "Mr. Right". There may be a "Mr. Right for You", but you will never find him if your looking with your eyes. The Man that might be right for you, you might have already meet but didn't know because he didn't appear to be "eye candy". Keep in mind that true love is blind and to really love a rose, you must except its thorns.

Because there is no such thing.
There is no guy out there who is everything you want. Love is actually something that takes a lot of time and effort, and involves happy as well as unhappy times.
You will not find "true happy love" outside of a movie or book, and you will not find love at all until your view of love matures.
When you can accept that part of love is taking responsibility for it and devoting time and effort to it, you may find someone equally willing to devote their time and effort and make it happen.
Making it happen being the key.

Stop thinking that there is only ONE and you'll be surprised how many more are out there waiting for you to discover. Don't forget there is no such thing as a perfect person and the best you can do is put yourself out there to date as many people as possible. Only through that experience will you be able to define "mr right". Usually he's in the last place you look

Are you happy with your own life? Like do you feel that you are in a steady position with your career and finances? If no, then Mr. Right probably won't be coming. You have to be where you want to be in life, and be happy with yourself and then maybe let someone join in. You cannot be an unhappy person and expect to meet someone to make you happy, it doesn't work that way.
