The "Single Happy Interested" website offers up ten tips to find love before giving up. Some are as simple as "smile more" and "make eye contact," while others are more complicated.
1. Create a “Must Have” and “Can’t Stand” list, so you know what you're looking for -- but be realistic.
2. Act as though you already have a mate -- because then you won't seem so desperate.
3. Be vulnerable and open with people -- as SHI says, "Walls are made to hold people in, or close people out. Walls around your heart hold people back and push love further away."
4. Start doing more of the things that you love -- you never know who you might meet doing the exact same thing.
5. Make eye contact and say hello to ten strangers of the opposite sex each week -- or same sex, whichever your preference may be. As we've all seen in Jerry McGuire, sometimes it's "you had me at hello."
6. Tell your friends and family that you are ready to find a life partner -- and be open to crazy blind dates.
7. Smile more -- obvious, but worth noting. Nobody likes a grump.
8. Say yes more than you say no -- not necessarily in the bedroom, just in general.
9. Go out of your comfort zone -- ties in with #8.
10. Pray and project your desires into the universe -- the power of positive thinking, a/k/a "The Secret," whatever you want to call it.
