Are you in a serious relationship with someone already or are you still looking for that special person? If you are still looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right, you need to learn the proper matchmaking skills in your dating seeking adventures. How do you go about working your matchmaking magic in your life?

One major step is that you need to make sure that you know what you want? Do you know what you want? When you go into the grocery store, especially when you're hungry, it's a bad idea. It's a bad idea because you will think that you want to eat everything and you will buy more than you actually came into the store to buy. The same thing is true when you are in the “dating store.” If you don't have a grocery list so to speak of what you are looking for in a dating partner, then you will get unfocused and confused when you're in the dating seeking world. You will be very hungry to be in a relationship that you are not thinking straight and you think every available dating prospect is a compatible match for you. That's not good. Before you go shopping, always have your shopping list prepared beforehand.

In your matchmaking efforts for your life, take some focused time to work on compiling your wish list. What type of person are you looking to date? Do you want to date someone that is a successful career person? Are you a mature single? Do you want someone that is proactive or inactive? Someone with an extroverted personality or introverted? Compatibility is a major factor in being in a successful relationship. You can be incompatible with someone and still be in a relationship with this person, but your relationship won't be as successful as it could be. Don't you want to be in a successful relationship?

One other aspect of your matchmaking strategy is to find out who you are. If you don't know who you are, you won't be on target when you are trying to find the right person for you. If you're unsure of who you are, you won't know what you want. You need to know if you are a mature person. Are you proactive? Are you introverted or extroverted? What type of personality are you? When you figure out these aspects of your personality you will know for sure whether or not you are compatible with someone that you are dating.

Once you know whom you are and what you are looking for, when you go out into the dating “store,” make sure that you keep focused on the strategy of finding a compatible match. Don't veer off of the path that is set before you. You have your wish list and you need to be focused and be true to what you know you want out of a relationship. If you are in the heat of the moment in a dating relationship, you are not going to be thinking clearly and it's very possible for you to forget about your wish list and settle for second best. Don't settle for second best. You deserve to find the number one match for you and you can only do that by being your number one fan and fighting for what you deserve.
