Do you sit there dreaming of your true love showing up in your life? What do you imagine meeting this person to be like?

Perhaps you see yourself sitting at a local coffee shop. Then you notice someone attractive and seemingly single staring back at you. He sends a latte over to you and smiles. Then, he comes over to introduce himself.

Does this happen in real life? It could, but don’t count on it.

Life isn’t a “Friends” episode at their java cafe.

So how do you stop dreaming of your true love and actually find this person?

It’s by taking appropriate action. As a life and relationship coach, I help my clients get unstuck and into action.

Appropriate action requires a plan. And all plans start with a vision or dream.

Step 1: Gaining CLARITY around how you see your life and who would be a good partner for you given your life goals.

For a relationship to have what it takes to last, your partner needs to want the same things out of life as you do. So, you need to be clear about what you want.

What are the key characteristics that this person must exhibit? What are their values and must-haves? How do they jive with yours?

When people start “seeing” that person, it’s uncanny how quickly they start meeting people who are similar to the kind of person they want to meet!

When you take the time to gain the necessary clarity, you’ll feel as if you’ve readjusted your dating radar.

How else can you stop dreaming of your true love and start taking action? Well, by taking step 2.

Step 2: Knowing where to CONNECT with that right person.

Most of my clients come to me and say they’re not doing much to meet their life partners.

There are so many reasons people put their search for true love on the back burner. They may be shy or just overwhelmed with other things in their life. Or the task seems daunting.

In this second step, I work with my clients to figure out what’s going to work based on their personality, values, interests, and passions!

We explore the top way to meet people today. This also happens to be the way that works for my clients time and time again – online dating. Over 80% of my successfully coupled clients have met their life partners online.

Will you try online dating? If you have and it hasn’t worked, are you willing to try again with my proven methodology?

If so, then after we have you working through my time-proven system, I’ll also coach you around the best ways, based on your personality and specific life situation, for you to expand your network and meet more of the type of person you desire to attract.

My clients appreciate the Motivated to Marry Dating Plan Template, my step-by-step, paint-by-numbers dating plan that helps them focus on the activities that will help them to finally stop dreaming of their true love and direct them to find and connect with their special person.

It can work for you too!

Step 3: CREATE the relationship you’ve been envisioning.

It’s in this step that dreaming of your true love is just what you need!

Aligning your partner’s life vision with yours into a singular path of shared goals is what helps a couple to go the distance together. It’s the co-creation of the combination of both your partner’s and your dreams and hopes.

Open communication with each other and a willingness to bend toward one another will solidify the relationship.

Here’s an example. My Boomer client, Karen, had a high need for personal time to enjoy her hobbies, get her daily chores accomplished, and have some solitude. Her partner, who lived an hour away, wanted more time together when he was at her place. They worked toward a compromise that gave her partner the time and affection he sought and allowed her the alone time she needed to recharge her batteries and get the daily chores done. (He even helped!)

Dreaming of your true love is an important step toward motivating you to take action to find this person. However, when you decide to actively seek a life partner, it’s recommended to make a consistent effort to find him/her.

Dating successfully and meeting your true love will happen once you have a personalized dating plan and begin taking action.

And that’s a big part of the work I do. My clients tell me that having a solid support system to catch you when you fall and help you try again is so important when it comes to dating.
