1. Leave the past in the past
When you meet someone new, leave any negative
feelings or past heartbreaks just where they should be—in the past.
2. You won’t meet someone new in your living
room
Well, maybe a cute guy will deliver your new
sofa, but chances are you’re going to meet someone by getting out there and trying new things—online dating,
taking a class, etc. Tell everyone, especially your married friends, that
you’re looking to meet someone and ALWAYS go to parties. Because you truly
never know who you’ll meet.
3. Give the guy a chance
When you were 20 your list was “he must be
tall, dark and handsome.” Try going against type. It just might be a perfect
fit.
4. Look at blind dates like a first date
Two of the authors of our book met their
husbands on blind dates, and you can too! If you’re not sure you want to sit in
a noisy restaurant, go out and do something fun. One of our Garter Brides went
to a baseball game, and she and her date each brought a friend. They had a
blast and got married one year later.
5. Time is on your side
Take your time in getting to know your guy and
don’t feel in a rush to meet his children or have him meet yours. It starts
with the two of you. Make sure this is someone you want in your life.
6. Isn’t it romantic?
Just because you’re meeting the love of your
life later in life doesn’t mean you can’t still have passionate, amazing sex!
The Garter Brides say “Go for it!”
7. Someone to come home to
When you’re ready to move in together you will
discover how wonderful it is to come home to the one you love. Be prepared for
some give and take—for example, over which of each others’ belongings stay or
go.
8. What’s up with a pre-nup?
Remember that a pre-nup isn’t because you
think your marriage isn’t going to work—it’s so you get to decide how your
assets and everything you’ve worked for can be protected.
9. Your wedding, your way
Now you’re in love and it’s time to have your
wedding exactly how you want it. The Garter Brides have had all kinds of
weddings! Remember it is all about you and the man of your dreams. Whatever you
want is the way to go.
10. Happily ever after can happen to you
Remember what the Garter Brides always say:
“It’s never too late to find true love. We did, and you can too!’
