How To Overcome The Loneliness of Valentine’s Day

 

Before we get to today’s blog, I’ve got something new to share with you.

I just created a training called….”How to meet men in real life and have fun doing it!”

Keep an eye out for it in your email box this week.

You’re not going to want to miss this!

Onto today’s blog…tomorrow as I’m sure you know is Valentines Day.

This holiday can be quite difficult to deal with when you’re alone.

You can’t help but pass colorful storefront windows loaded with Valentine’s Day ideas and gifts.

You find your email box loaded with Open Table offers to wine and dine you and the sweetheart you wish you had.

Everywhere you look, it seems like happy couples are holding hands and kissing.

The huge emphasis on Valentine’s Day love can feel so intense that not only do you feel lonely on this day, but you may also feel left out of something that seems to be universally happening for everyone else.

When this happened to me back when I was single, it really surprised me.

After all, I was supposed to be one of those women who felt okay on my own.

I knew if I wanted to “feel the love” that day, I was going to have to make it happen by doing something really nice for myself.

The younger generation have embraced this wonderful idea.

They call it “Galentine’s Day,” where you celebrate all the women you love, including yourself.

I didn’t know I was part of a trend back when I was single. I just wanted to take care of myself that day.

I picked up dinner for myself from my favorite Thai restaurant.

Then I’d topped off the delicious curry dish with the best ice cream in the world, Graeter’s chocolate chip.

Next, I’d fill my bathtub with hot water and my favorite bubble bath.

I’d grab a glass of my favorite red wine and I’d luxuriously soak and read a book I’d been meaning to get to for a while.

By the time I was done with all of this pampering, I was feeling pretty good about myself.

I decided there was no way I was spending Valentine’s Day alone the following year, so I headed to my computer to look for a quality man of my own.

Just so you know, even men can feel the sadness of being alone on Valentine’s Day and you’ll probably find quite a few hanging out at your favorite online dating site just waiting for you this week!

Unless you want a repeat of spending the evening alone next Valentine’s Day, now is the time for getting out of your comfort zone by putting your picture and profile online to start looking for a great guy.

Julie had more than 200 messages in the first week with her new profile!

Lisa, Wow! What a difference. Before we worked together I was getting a handful of messages a day, but after we polished my profile the response was, well, overwhelming. More than 200 messages in the first week! I had to hide one of the two profiles just to slow it down to a level I could keep up with… and the men who I am meeting are such a better fit for me. The whole process… from our first phone call to my most recent date… has been so much fun. Thank you. 2017 is going to be amazing! Julie, California

With your new profile written and ready to go, all you have to do is plant yourself in front of your computer and check out the dating sites that are right for you.

To get you started, here are some of my favorites.  Lisa’s Favorite Dating Sites

There might be new men you’ve never come across on there.

The beauty of online dating is that even on the coldest night, you can meet new guys while feeling all snuggly in your pajamas inside your warm and cozy house.

Be daring as you look for love this week.

Start a chat conversation with a man online that looks interesting to you.

Allow yourself to feel what it’s like to flirt again.

Be short and sweet as you answer his questions.

And remember to ask him questions too!

In fact, why not have 3 or 4 different chats going at the same time? 

I know it sounds silly but it can be so much fun and there is something so sexy about lots of male attention all at once that will make you feel really desirable!

I hope this encourages you to make this week a good one by loving yourself on “Galentine’s Day” and by heading online for some wonderful male attention.

Let me know what you did to make your Galentine’s Day special for you!

Celebrating You!

Believing in You!
