1. Self love

Finding love starts with loving yourself because, really, if you do not love yourself, who will?

It will be difficult to show people how to love you. It will be difficult, as well to give people what you do not have. If you love yourself, you do not only become more independent and in charge of your life, you also become easier to love and will find it less difficult to find love.

2. More social

Social skills are really, really important if you are going to meet people and build any form of relationship with them.

Smile more, go out more, get on social media and use the platforms wisely, learn to communicate your thoughts more effectively, and basically just develop in the art of creating good impressions on people.

3. People are more than their looks

Learn to pay more attention to character than a person's appearance. This is something of a dilemma in the sense that appearance counts when meeting someone for the first time, because it is on appearance that most first impressions are built.

Regardless, learning to place the requisite balance on both things is a skill that you need if you are not to miss the opportunity to meet the beautiful soul you have been holding out for.
