Where does love live?

Are you wondering where to go to find this magic thing called "Love"? Most likely you will meet him/her when you least expect to! In order for that to happen, leave your couch and take a look at these places. You never know…!
Are you ready to find that strange addictive drug everyone is gossiping about, called “Love”? But where do you go? Just a little friendly warning, your dream partner will not be dropped from the heavens above into your living room. You must be truly emotionally open for it, and leave your flat once in a while. Couch surfing will not bring you closer to your mermaid.

I will start with my favorite thing in the entire Universe: Food. Honestly, who does not love an exotic meal, with unique smells and tastes they never tried before? Food unites people, especially those who truly enjoy it! The Kleinmarkthalle in Frankfurt on Saturdays is perfect because you can browse the aisles filled with delicious fresh food and handsome men. These fellows actually attempt to cook, and are not scared to burn down their flat. That’s 2 bonus points for bravery! Have a coffee in the market, it’s a perfect place to see and be seen. I would also recommend taking a cooking class with a good chef. You can meet someone nice with a similar hobby, and maybe make you own “Crème Brûlée” together at home, if you know what I mean! You can also try art, photography, language, music, dance, and acting classes.

A grocery store is full of opportunities. Best time to go is after work, around 7 – 8pm. Accidently drop your bacon on his foot, or let him reach for a bottle of wine on a top shelf for you. Even if you can reach it yourself, ask him for his help. Men like to feel needed, and will be glad to help you. Then start a casual conversation about wines, white or red, which country you prefer best, etc. Don’t forget to show your pretty smile. Nothing is sexier than an authentic, warm, friendly smile!

After all this eating, you must burn off the calories. Where? At the gym, golf course, or yoga class. I personally prefer Kung Fu, because I love action, and sparring with men is really fun. You get to punch, kick, and see how the sexual tension rises! If you see someone you like at the gym, make eye contact with him/her. Do that several times, and in the last few times, smile sweetly and look away. Men are hunters in their nature, so allow them to make the first move, and effort to get you. Be sweet, open and friendly, but don’t overdo it. Let them be the ones to charm you! Also, do not underestimate a nice jog, or walk in the park with your dog.

After all this physical activity, it’s time to rest and visit a nice bookstore. Sit on a couch and browse through the book you want to buy, or maybe have a coffee and muffin at the bookstore café. Women: go to the cars and sport sections of the bookstore. Men: go to the cooking, gardening, etc. sections. You never know who you will lock your eyes with there! Art, travel, photography, design, architecture, fashion, etc. are also wonderful areas at a bookstore to meet interesting people. Maybe try to finally fix up your home and go to a hardware store. You will find many big steel hammers there… go and have fun!

After fixing your home and reading the books, it’s time to put on your favorite outfit and go out with your friends. Nice neighborhood cafés, bars and lounges are always good. Ask the sexy man standing beside you at the bar what he is drinking, because you want to try something new. Give him a warm smile and say thanks. If he’s into you, he will continue the conversation. If not, it means that he might be taken, shy or is not into you. If he is shy, try to make eye contact a few more times, and see how he responds. Smile at him so that he sees that you are into him. This will help him work up the courage to talk to you. Men and women need reassurance. It’s normal to be scared of rejection. There is nothing wrong in showing someone “subtly” that you are interested in them. Try to attend private house parties with friends. It’s great meeting friends of friends, because you know that you will most likely meet nice quality people.

Special events like wine or whiskey tasting are fabulous to meet your new love. You can taste delicious new brands, ask questions, laugh and truly enjoy yourself. Go to an old-timer car event with your brother, and meet new men. Or take your best buddy and go on a ski holiday. You are assured to bump into some fun people on the slopes or at the Après-ski bars and resort areas. This will be a guaranteed amazing time, and will give you a chance to bond with your friend.

This might sound old-fashioned, but a church, synagogue, etc. are great places to meet someone who is serious, and is looking for a life partner, rather than a few nights of wild fun. Community service, like helping the homeless is also wonderful, and good for your karma! Art exhibitions, museums and galleries are excellent for meeting someone interesting. Talk about the crazy painting that’s in front of you, and try to make each other laugh by describing the silly things you interpret in it. Flirt and enjoy yourself. If things flow smoothly, go for a coffee afterwards.

Remember dear boys and girls, if s/he does not flirt back, it’s not the end of the world. There are so many wonderful places to go to and lovely people to meet. The partner that is meant to be for you will enter your life when you least expect it! Do not be sad if it does not happen very soon. Everything happens in the right time and place. Give it some time, and enjoy your single life. Then one day, you will bump into him on the street, or at a boat party, and you’ll know he’s the one. You will see! Be happy and exude positivity! Happiness attracts happy people.

Dear Marcel, thank you for your comment. I totally agree!

Brigitte, I am glad you wrote your comment because I have had so many experiences in my life (not only in love life) where I wanted things to happen so much! Funny?:) And don?t judge me right away! To get a boyfriend I was hanging pink panties on my chandelier in bedroom, I bought half of the store which sells incense and pink quartz stone hearts, I even buried in the forest under the Birch tree red paper with a wish to meet a nice man! No black magic though!! :) Guess what? NOTHING. Then I got so tired and decided: I let it go, totally. Was going to work and back home, watching TV, waiting? Guess what? NOTHING. Time runs, biological clock ticks and every day more loud. Depression? Yep. Loneliness? Yes. My friend brought me a cat. Just came and left her in my flat. Well, I would not through cat in the cold I guess? Cat from street, I could see that. Next day I took her to the veterinary to check her. I was third in line. Across of me were sitting these two, both with very sad brown eyes: a man and his beagle. I just felt all they need is a good supporting smile and that I did.:) What can I say Brigitte, God works in so unexpected ways? This man is my husband for the past 5 years and we are great together!! So actually Galia has the point by saying: smile or do something to encourage a man/woman?:) Will not hurt, but can do miracle! Happy New Year Galia! You are great!

I agree Brigitte, one must not try "too hard". However, sitting at home will not bring your dream partner closer to you. There are definitely places / events that one can go to, in order to increase the chances of meeting a potential partner. It doesn't mean you have to jump on him or flirt with him like crazy, buy you can make eye contact and show him a gentle lovely smile, and if the interest is there, a conversation will start. I met my soul mate when I least expected it. I didn't even want to go out that night. I was tired after a long day of work, but my friends forced me to come with them. We arrived, I saw him and knew I must somehow come into a conversation with him. After giving him a nice friendly soft smile, he approached me, and the chemistry was wonderful. We talked all night, and the click was instant. If I sat at home, who knows if I would have met him - destiny? He is my soul mate, would I meet him somewhere else? Perhaps yes? Perhaps no? As you see my dear, one can definitely increase the potential chances to meet a great partner.

Brigitte, are you familiar with Joseph Murphy's other book called "Love Is Freedom"? Murphy was a religious man, and believed in God and his divine healing powers. Murphy believed in God's scriptures. There is a passage in the book: The scripture says, "God is love, God is all, over all, through all, all in all" Love lives in all men, women and in all things; so let us seek it in all. "Seek and ye shall find."

This refers to my personal favorite prayer Matthew 7:7. "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."

God wants us to make an effort to be happy. Murphy also mentions this in his book. Go out there and make it happen for you.

Are these the advices of a happily married woman with cute children.
The more you try, the less you will achieve.
Murphy: "The power of the subconscious mind"

Galia, another great common sense article. People get so nervous about meeting someone perfect, when in fact you just need to be yourself, have fun (read: smile) and you are likely to be overwhelmed with lots of good conversation and more.

Bye Frankfurt, hello Gotland!
Gotland ist für mich besonders, weil es noch ein Geheimtipp ist und weil man dort sehen und erleben kann, wie die Vikinger früher gelebt haben. Und der Strand ist auch wunderbar.
