Is There Love in the City?
by Love in the City
"There is love in the city," I thought. While sitting in one my coffee shops in Portland, I watch young families with their children—healthy, hip, and organic, such as it is in our green progressive city. Couples sit together, some working on their laptops with feet and legs touching, while others are talking with hands entwined. Yes, there is love in the city.
As I go through my day as a matchmaker, I see singles everywhere: on their computers, reading books, or staring out a window—lost in a daydream of days past or pondering possible future happiness that has seemingly alluded them. Love is in the city for them too.... it's just finding it.
We all need to start with that initial date, the first step to love or disaster. Ok, I know, I know, you have to actually get the date in order to better your chance of love, but let's be done with the disasters already. Where do you find a date? Can a woman approach a guy? How many singles events have you been to? Bars, anyone? I hope not!
Finding that initial date can be a problem, and it is! Fortunately, all problems have a solution, right? You've heard about having a system, and if you are serious about finding your match—well, guess what, you need one!
"Oh my God, are you kidding?"
No I'm not. What's your current system—Does it work? Next week. we'll start with the first step. Guess what guys: I am talking to you too! We are all on the same page. The goal is love not a disaster.
Just remember that there is someone out there for you too!
