Caught in a distant land and busy career, how will I ever find my soul mate?

Asked by Wideyes (20points) June 19th, 2010

I am just a normal guy in my thirties, living far and extremely busy with a career I enjoy; however, I feel it is time to settle down but I have no idea where to meet the right lady. This has lately been on mind more than anything else.

You’ll find her when you’re least expecting.

You can visit many Dating Sites and find the one who lived near your place and the one you really like(Note:no guarantee). Or you can find someone who works in the same place with you or just go outside to eat or do something else in public places and hopefully you can find this special person.

I was in your position until age 38, not even looking. Then, after going through the worst period in my life up to that time, the perfect partner came into my life.

Don’t push things, if things are meant to happen, they will. If you’re the type who is better off single, accept it.

When you are least expecting it, you will see that certain someone who will take your breath away.
I understand your career comes first and foremost, but try to spend as much time socialising as you feel able.
He/she is out there. It just takes time. Good luck

Perhaps the reason you are in a distant land and a busy career is precisely because that is where she is . . .

You don’t find a soul mate. You develop one.

I agree not to push it, but if it’s important to make sure the opportunity is available….if you stay at either work or home all the time, it’s unlikely that you will meet new people (I am assuming, of course, I have no idea what kind of job you do)

Getting involved in something you enjoy outside of work will not only will help you meet people (if you choose a more social activity), but it will also give you something besides work to talk about and be able to connect with others. (I think this is helpful even if you do the on-line dating thing)

Having a full, rich life is a great way to attract fun people into your life! (maybe even a romantic partner!)

I second what @KhiaKarma says. Eschew dating site (unless absolutely necessary), but put yourself into activities that are fun for you and enjoyable and you will start meeting people

Also remember that “soul mates” are rarely found in bars (unless you want to hire one by the hour).

Change your priorities. Most people want a partner who will spend time with them, not be at work all the time.
