Come hear the music play! Life is a cabaret, old chum! Come to the cabaret! Put down the knitting, the book and the broom It's time for a holiday Life is a cabaret, old chum! Come to the cabaret! Come taste the wine Come hear the band Come blow your horn Start celebrating Right this way your table's waiting’. The lyrics of this song, Cabaret are so very true. To meet your soul companion, your charm and personality, your talent, your ways, your very existence has got to be seen, discovered and noticed. You have got to reach out and go to the mountain stream to partake of its beauty and enjoy and reap the rewards which you so rightly deserve…. because everybody needs to find love. When you get up and go to drink from the mountain stream, you increase your chances of finding your life companion. Remember that happiness is what you will make happen for yourself. Where do you find your soul mate? What kind of partner are you looking for? Does he have to be tall, dark and handsome?.... Or are you looking for a pretty woman with an hourglass figure? How important are facial looks, height and weight…physical chemistry? And what about money? Would you go on a date with someone who is very poor? Adele and Lynn, my cousins were groomed from an early age by their father, to only marry for money. And intelligence…is the standard of education of your future partner important? Would it be okay if your loved one is less educated than you are? Have you considered what you are looking for in your ideal soul companion and life-long friend? Let’s take religion for example… Would you marry someone whose religious background, views and practices were quite different to your own beliefs? And if you are a Christian, would you go out with a Jew? …or an atheist?...or a Muslim? To find the right choice of partner that you would be attracted to, you must know and decide what kind of soul companion you are looking for. Now, don’t expect the impossible to find all that you are looking for…everything you desire all in one person. How do you spend your spare time? … What are your hobbies? What are the things you like to do most of all? What places do you like to go to? Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert? Do you love parties? Or do you prefer having your friends come over for a barbeque? What’s top of your list? Going to the movies or going out to dinner? Are you the sporting kind? Do you play or watch any specific sport or game on TV? Do you enjoy reading? Can you play a musical instrument? What’s your favorite type of music that you like to listen to? Is it Classical? Hard Rock? Blues? Jazz? Or….? What are the most important qualities you are looking for in a partner? If you had to pick any 3 of the following qualities to find in a partner, which ones would you choose? Would you like your partner to be fun-loving, your best friend, family orientated, to be loving and romantic, wanting to have children, to possess a good sense of humor, to be well groomed or spiritually minded? How do you go about finding your true soul mate? Let’s start with some ideas that will get the ball rolling and increase your chances of love success. Although opposites sometimes do attract, it could be nice to meet someone who has the same or similar interests and hobbies as you do….a likeminded partner. What’s the most important priority you are looking for in date partner? If you are looking to meet someone rich, then you have got to be seen mingling with the rich and frequenting the places where the wealthy folk go. To find wealthy people who like to invest and love decorating their homes with valuable prized art and sculpture pieces….a very good place to start would be to contact your nearest Art Galleries to find out when their exhibitions are taking place and what future events they will be having. Get all the information of the time and date when their next art or sculpture exhibition will be taking place and while you are at it, make sure to ask them to enroll your name together with your contact details for all their forthcoming events. Another place where you will always find the rich are at the horse races. Wealthy socialites love to dress up and be noticed and admired. Look in the newspaper to find out when the next big horse racing day is and make sure you dress up to be noticed, looking fabulously attractive and all ready to meet the jet set. Many wealthy socialites love attending first night theatre and film premiers. You’ll be talking to them, sipping a cocktail drink and partaking of fancy delights. If music plays a big part of your life and especially if you like dancing, then the ideal place and golden opportunity where you will meet your loved one is at a ballroom and Latin American dance studio. You’ll have so much fun and every week, you will be invited to the dance studio parties…there is always so much activities going on at the dance studios. But, if you prefer the quieter more relaxing kind of music, you could go along to the classical guitar society’s regular concert presentations. You’d be so welcome and before you realize it, you will be in great conversation with other ardent guitar music fans. If you love the sound of big band music, like Benny Goodman, Count Basie or jazz legends like Ella, Satchmo and Billy Holiday…then you would enjoy attending the jazz performances, festivals and jazz movies at a jazz club in your area. There are so many music societies that you can belong to, where your presence will always be appreciated. Why not give it a try? You don’t have to commit yourself to attending any further meetings. You will be pleasantly surprised just how much fun you will have and you could very well meet your loved one right there! Another good idea would be to join an amateur theatre group, either to be in a role in one of their plays or being backstage helping out with the props. Many a romantic encounter has happened right behind the scenes with the couples now happily married. A VERY BEAUTIFUL LOVE Baby, You touch my heart with precious love songs You cover my body with poetry You make me feel that you really care. A thousand kisses A million dreams You are heaven to me. I will always love you Now and forever So very, very deeply. Tell me, is to be considerate and kindness important to you in a partner? Then, if you are looking for someone who has a big kind heart, where would you find such a person? Someone who is deeply caring?...a partner who will treat you with kindness, cherish your presence and cover you with love? There are kind and considerate people to be found every where. Very often, you will find that people who love and adore animals and the world of nature are usually the kind of people who are caring, gentle and kind. These are the kind of individuals who will go out of their way to protect the dolphins or save a species of wild flower that could become extinct. Because animal and nature lovers care so much about the environment that they don’t like to litter or see an animal being treated cruelly….then surely they will also shower you with kindness caring lots for you! If you search the internet, you will find there are nature, wild life societies and associations that have ongoing regular outings, film evenings and fun get-togethers. Search for ‘bird clubs’, ‘tree societies’ and ‘hiking clubs’ in your area. Ask them to email you a list of their diary of events for the month so you can choose which outings you would like to go on. And the good news is….you don’t have to be fit to join a hiking club. They attract the old and the young with ages ranging from 16 right up to 80. Their walks are divided into different categories such as slow-walking, medium-walking and brisk. The purpose of going on their hikes and outings is not to see how fit you are, but to enjoy and appreciate the outdoors, in natural surroundings in the company and fellowship of the hikers. While walking along a trail, you will stop awhile to observe the features of a specific wild flower or an unusual interesting insect learning all about the wonderful world of nature. Some hikers take their tree or bird books along with them to help them identify what they see. The strollers are a friendly bunch and the great advantage you will have is, unlike dating by internet, you immediately get to see, choose and meet the people who you would like to walk and talk with. You will also find that many of the hikers bring their own breakfast or lunch. You shouldn’t be surprised when they come up to greet you and offer you one of their apples or a sandwich. Besides the nature hikes, there are also various other events and activities such as movie nights as well as get-away bus tours that you will enjoy. It’s not always so, but it is often true that people who have a deep love for God usually have a caring heart. But, going to church doesn’t necessary mean that you will have the right opportunity to be able to meet your soul companion. As soon as the service has ended, the congregants usually get up and go and of course, while the preacher is talking, you won’t have the chance to be able to engage in a lengthy conversation with someone. So how could you meet your soul mate at church? You need to find a church that has a host of regular activities during the week, like a Monday evening bible study, Tuesday pancake evening, Wednesday film show or a Saturday morning hike. You will find that many of the folk who attend the church’s organized evening activities, don’t go to church at all, but only go to meet friends at the weekly evening activities. Contact the church during the week to get your name and email address put on the list to receive their monthly diary of functions and activities. You will need to choose a specific age group like 20’s, 30’s, 40’s or over 50’s age group for the invitations to the functions you would like to attend. Where would you like to go on your first date? Maybe you could suggest… To go to the theatre, or would you prefer having a romantic dinner in a restaurant, perhaps a picnic on the beach, or going to watch a ball game? And don’t forget all the fun you could be having at a ten-pin bowling alley or playing miniature golf! If I could be ... The sun shining down on your face The soft breeze blowing through your hair If I could be ... The ring you wear on your hand The food you taste and bite The spot where you sit or stand The blanket that covers you at night. If I could only be ... How to you start a conversation with a stranger? Here are some ideas (pick-up lines)…. You need to ask questions that will get them to open up and talk… I like your shoes…where did you get them? You look familiar, didn’t we go to the same school? Where have I seen you before? Are you new around here? How often do you come here? Have I parked my vehicle in the right place?...they will reply ‘where have you have parked?’….and that’s the start of the conversation! Secrets of Love Make your love one feel special every day.
