This book will give you the best chance of meeting Mr. Right. --Janis Spindel Are you lookin... more »g for the right man to spend the rest of your life with? Still waiting for "the one," and feeling tired of dates that go nowhere? If so, Janis Spindel, matchmaker extraordinaire, has all the advice you need to help you make the perfect match. A self-described "serious matchmaker" who has more than 715 marriages to her credit, Janis Spindel brings over a decade of experience to this book, which lays out a clear road map for women who are single -- but don't want to be. Janis emphasizes that you have to achieve your personal best -- and know what you want in a mate -- before you can find a fulfilling match. In Janis's straight-shooting, sassy, and engaging voice, Get Serious About Getting Married will teach you how to set your priorities, update your style and appearance, use your life as a dating venue, and enter into a lasting and satisfying commitment. She breaks down the search for a mate into helpful questionnaires, sidebars, and lively tips, including:
Turn on your inner light: Single people are like taxicabs. If their lights aren't on, no one is going to hail them. So make sure you look your best and exude energy!
Network, network, network: Tell everyone you know that you're interested in meeting someone. Make new female friends who will know single men. Someone's ex could be your next!
Have an intimate dinner party, á la Janis: Ask each of your single friends to bring another single friend of the opposite sex to dinner. Make the party fun and casual to encourage conversation.
Lose the playbook: You aren't fooling him by not returning phone calls or behaving disinterestedly. Men see through rules easily. He knows what you're up to. And it turns him off.
Leaving the single life behind: Getting married doesn't mean an end to doing what you enjoyed as a single woman. But your life will change dramatically, especially if you are over thirty-five and used to living on your own. Be open to doing things in new ways -- they may be better!
Plan for the future but live in the present: Don't let your goals for the future consume you so much that you forget where you are today.
Because many of her clients are thirty-five and older, Janis understands the specific challenges you may face in meeting and marrying the right man, so she also provides specific guidance in the book geared toward women who are already established in their lives and careers. And here's the great news: The marriage of your dreams is within reach. Prepare to laugh, prepare to do some serious thinking, and prepare to find the love of your life with this ultimate guide to unlocking your soul mate's heart -- and your own.« less
