The nature of our work gives us the privilege of being around amazing couples and listening to stories of how they met. We have come to learn from our brides is that when it comes to finding Mr. Right, they had to first and foremost be Ms. Right. What does that mean? Wherever you are in your life, how you feel about yourself, your career, your future – they all play a part in influencing the kind of person you attract to be your partner, because like attracts like, and we attract people who are similar to us. Please allow us to share a few things you might want to consider on your journey to meeting Mr. Right.
1. Know who you are in order to know what you want. Before you could be in a healthy relationship you need to know what your standards, morals and values are. Having a good sense of who you are as a person will help you figure out the sort of qualities you would appreciate in your Mr. Right. If you are still unsure of what you want then this would be a great chance to get to know yourself first.
2. Love yourself. As cliché as it sounds, it is true that you must learn to love yourself first before you are able to love another person. It would be great if we could meet someone that can give us the love that we cannot give ourselves – but we have learnt that this isn't ever the case. So, before meeting Mr. Right – give yourself plenty of love, acceptance and encouragement because you deserve it. And anyway, there is nothing more attractive than someone who is truly happy and confident with who they are!
3. Reflect on yourself. If you want your Mr. Right to be a kind, ambitious and loyal person, ask yourself, "Am I also all these things I want my Mr. Right to be?" and, "If I were him, would I like me?" It is easy to get caught up in the details of how we want our partner to be and forget how we actually are ourselves. So, let's take the focus back on us and work on the things we feel we need to work on – there is always room for improvements after all, right?
We feel that once you are emotionally and mentally ready to meet Mr. Right, the finding will almost be unnecessary. No need to worry about the how, where and when you will meet him as these things have a tendency to work themselves out. You are already on your way to meeting Mr. Right so focus on yourself and be the best version of you. That is what we found to be the best thing to do.
