Finding someone that we're attracted to is the easy part. What's harder is getting them to think the same about us. It's hard to know what to say and what to do. Sometimes the advice we get from television and magazines is simply misleading and just plain wrong! Everyone seems to have their own special formula.

The key to finding someone who likes you is to be yourself. Sure that sounds like a cliché, but it's definitely the truth. People see through false people - no matter how good your intentions, any fake behavior will only illicit ill feelings and make people dislike you. Most people want to date down to earth people that are honest and who don't play games.

Another important thing to do before you approach that special someone is to gain confidence in yourself. Nobody wants to go out with someone who doesn't believe in themselves. Figure out your great qualities and focus on them. Develop hobbies and interests so that your life is full and complete before you form a bond with someone else.

Something a bit more superficial is to pay attention to your appearance. You don't have to be the best-looking woman or man in the world, but you have to take care of yourself. Shower, shave and just generally stay well-groomed. In addition, it's important to smell nice as well. Women just love a man who smells good!

Love is a priceless gift. We each want it, but sometimes finding it is harder than it seems. Getting the attention of a man or a woman isn't hard if you decide to be yourself and give it all you have. You don't have to pretend to be something you aren't. We each have someone just for us waiting around the corner.
