girl at a computer with a heart

There are some days when being single is really hard!  Today happens to be one of them.  You can’t help but pass colorful storefront windows loaded with Valentine’s Day ideas and gifts.

You find your email box loaded with Open Table and Groupon offers wanting you and the sweetheart you wish you had to dine with them. Everywhere you look it seems like couples are holding hands and kissing.

The huge emphasis on Valentine’s Day love feels so intense that even when I was single, not only did I feel lonely on this day, but I also felt left out of something that seemed to be universally happening for everyone but me.

It really surprised me; after all, I was supposed to be one of those women who felt okay being single.  I’m sure it’s no surprise that lots of men and women find it one of the hardest days of the year to get through.

Don’t spend tonight alone! There is still time to join me for tonight’s free teleseminar, 9 Keys To Finding Love After 50

When there wasn’t a man in my life, I knew if I wanted to “feel the love” on V-Day, I was going to have to make that happen by doing something really nice for myself.  I’d pick up dinner from  my favorite Thai restaurant.

I’d top off the delicious curry meal with the creamiest choclate chip ice cream that I’ve loved since I was a kid from Graeter’s out of Cincinnati.
Then I’d fill my bathtub with just the right temperature of hot water and a few drops of lavender oil.  I’d luxuriously soak and read a novel I’d been meaning to get to for a while.  By the time I was done, I was feeling pretty good about myself.

I decided there was no way I was spending Valentine’s Day alone the following year, so I toweled off and headed to my computer to look for a Quality Man of my own.

Just so you know, even men can feel the sadness of being alone on Valentine’s Day and you will probably find quite a few hanging out at your favorite online dating site just waiting for you!

Unless you want a repeat of spending the night alone with your favorite meal, bath and book on Valentine’s Day…Thursday evening may be the time for getting out of your comfort zone by putting your picture and profile online to start looking for a great guy.

All you have to do is plant yourself in front of your computer and go online to a dating site.

Be daring today as you look for love.  No one knows you and no one knows what you’re wearing so be brave and start a chat with a man online that looks interesting to you.

Allow yourself to feel what it’s like to flirt again.  Be short and sweet as you answer his questions.  And remember to ask him questions too!

Do something different! Get out of the box and try talking to a man with a cool accent from London or Australia.  See what a man in another country is like.  Know that any man you speak with is another opportunity to practice your feminine flirting skills.

Or speak with someone who lives closer.  In fact, why not have 3 or 4 different chats going at the same time?  I know it sounds silly but it can be so much fun and there is something so sexy about lots of male attention all at once.  It will make you feel really good and desirable!

I hope I have encouraged you to make today fun by giving yourself a special treat and by heading online for some wonderful male attention.  Let me know how your online flirting goes.

Believing in You!
