1.) Why spend all that time looking for the perfect man?! He’s been right in front of you the whole time! You know the type: the adorably cute guy who’s lived next door to you your entire life, the one you have sleepovers with and stay up talking to all night, the one you share your deepest fears and wildest dreams with. And guess what? He’s totally in love with you, too!

2.) Similarly, let’s say you decide to do what most women do, and have a strictly sexual, throw-caution-to-the-wind type of fling with your good – nay, best – friend. “I don’t care what anybody says,” you’ll think to yourself, “I can totally make this work without developing feelings for him.” Ready for the twist? You can’t. After having a blowout fight with this “best friend,” you’ll come to the realization that you’re actually in love with him. And so, you start a relationship and live happily ever after.

3.) In the off-chance you’re having trouble finding your one true love, no need to fret. Simply pick up all of your belongings and travel to a far-off location! Nothing like starting over in a town where you know absolutely nobody to find the perfect man! Yes, you will probably feel discouraged at first, and even announce to no one in particular that you just hate your new home. But stick it out just a little longer, and you’ll see that is precisely when things will turn around for you.
