February 2014 has a very special event – the World Winter Sports Olympics. Seeing all these fine athletes give it their best after years of practice and perfecting their sport, gives us mere mortals inspiration that we too can succeed if we put our minds and focus on the goals we aspire to.

For those who desire to find love this year, and are dedicated to doing so, here are 5 ways you can perfect your practice of dating and win gold (someone’s heart) this year!

1. Have a plan of execution – Every great date requires a plan. Have you identified your dating goals and how best to meet people with whom you are going to connect? Every plan includes a timeframe and the necessary steps to accomplish your goal.
2. Present Your Best Authentic Self
   Be sure you look the best you can. Show up in a positive, open, and curious manner. Be ready to meet people who share your core relationship values and life goals. Let your true self shine through!
3. Fine-tune Your Story –
   By a certain age, we all have our story. When sharing your life, I recommend you keep it short and sweet. Show what you have learned from your past relationships without really going into it with any depth.
4. Manage your Fears
   We all have fears, and we have to stare them in the face and tell them to go away! As they say, you need to “push past the fear.” Identify your fears, such as trying a new event to meet new people or contacting someone you have recently met for a date. This leads us to the next “gold” action.
5. Just Go For It! – You are prepared and have practiced. Now you are ready to get out there and give it your best shot. Practice, “Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained”. To win the Dating Olympics, you have to take chances and go for gold! A great first date may lead to the greatest love of your life!
