In 8 weeks you will learn who you really are, what you really want, and how you can find your life partner and get what you want in your life and relationships.

To be successful in meeting the love of your life, you most likely will need to meet a lot of prospective partners. This can be a daunting challenge for many singles, who then settle for less than what they really want, because of the time and effort involved, their desire to have a partner now, shyness and/or low self esteem, and their fear that what they really want is not out there. But, when you settle for less, you get less. And if you settle for a relationship that is less that what you really want, the relationship is doomed from the start. Here are four effective skills (and meaningful dating requires skills) for finding your life partner.

  1. Scouting: the process of finding people to meet. A successful single scouts in high quality, closely aligned attraction venues and has an effective network/support system scouting for them as well.

  2. Sorting: the process of quickly determining if someone you meet has future potential. A successful single is able to initiate contact with people and in conversation get enough information within five minutes to know whether they want to get to know them better or move on. Think of it as "working the room" at a party.

  3. Screening: the process of getting enough information to determine if a prospective partner meets your requirements or not. Since Requirements are relationship breakers, all of them must be met. Getting this information can occur over the telephone, by e-mail, over coffee, or taking a walk. If you are looking for your life partner, you can’t afford to explore dead ends, it is important to get this information and the prospective partner pass your screening before you date them and get involved.

  4. Testing: the process of verifying the information you collected during screening, gaining knowledge and experience that your requirements are met and the relationship works for you before you become exclusive and consider being a pre-committed couple. This process can take from two weeks to six months or more.
