Does My Life Have to Perfect Before I Can Attract My Soul Mate and Lasting Love?
Dating Relationship Expert Answers Single Never Married Singles’ Question
One of the questions that I continually receive from the folks who are single who are the “Single Never Married” folks is often some variation on, “April, do I have to wait until all of my life is perfectly in order before I can find a wife?” Or “April, do I have to wait until all of my life is perfect before I can find a husband?”
Dating Relationship Expert Answers Divorced Singles’ Question
A similar idea comes from the folks who are divorced singles, looking to jump back into the dating game in the “Dating Again After Divorce” group of daters often dating after 40 and dating after 50 years old themselves.
The good news, let me tell you, is no, you do not have to wait until you are “Perfect” to find love.
Who Hasn’t Been Hit Financially in the Past 3 Years?
However, I do tell both men and women, and let’s face, who hasn’t gotten hit in some way financially with the economic downturn of the past 3 years? So, know that the other singles who are out there might be working longer hours for less money than 3 years ago. Or at some time in the past 3 years they lost their job and segued into a Second Half of Life career, likely more self-employed with its corresponding foundation building time and longer work hours as well.
Divorced Singles Salaries Must Stretch Further to Cover 2 Households Now
Additionally, many of the singles who are now single again after going through a divorce have less fantastic financial situations than several years ago. Perhaps you had to sell your house at a significant loss during this downturn in the housing market to divvy up the marital assets. Certainly, the 2 income single household is now supporting 2 separate households. Your salary and earnings has to stretch further just on your own to support your single person’s household and dwelling.
Attraction Disaster – Newsflash No One Wants to Rescue You
I do coach both single men and single women that they have to already be solidly in the “rebuilding” phase of their career and finances. Neither single men nor single women should be looking for a Fairy Godmother Sugarmomma to rescue him nor a wealthy Sugardaddy Prince Charming to sweep in and save her from her financial difficulties.
There is a level of attraction which I describe as “Soul Attraction” which is diminished when we are in that wounded stage where essentially to partner up with a life mate in marriage would unduly burden our spouse with us.
You might draw and attract them into the social sphere of your life now. You might meet them now and they are in the social periphery of your life.
You Must Have Started Yourself
But in order to segue to courtship with each other, you must have resolved your financial situation yourself. You need to have already “turned the corner” and started on the rebuilding of that area of your life.
To do otherwise does not serve to foster real life partnership with your future potential mate. You can social and date now, polishing your dating and relationship skills. However, you will likely not turn the corner entering the phase of a relationship which is real courtship – being sure this is your life partner and moving decidedly in that direction, building a real foundation to the relationship – until you shift your financial situation yourself from within yourself and as a result of the cumulative effect of your implementation and actions. Until that happens, your financial sphere is a real downer. It is like a drawing and sucking vacuum of all energy and amorous feelings. So much energy, effort, and focus needs to go to this area of your life to mend the hole in the floor, like a leak in a ship, could sink everything out in the deep.
And yet, once mended, you can reset your course, and find lasting love with your Soulmate, as you wish.
Happy Dating and Relationships,

September 27, 2011 at 7:04 PMHi April,
I think it makes good sense to have at least “turned the corner” on a financial situation before looking for that perfect someone. It does seem that people ( men and women ) are looking for that someone, not as a potential mate for life, but more of someone to rescue them from a bad situation – whether it’s financial or otherwise.
Stay Extraordinary and Do Great Things, Neil

September 27, 2011 at 7:21 PMGreat advice as usual Ms. Braswell…which is why you are THE expert to go to.
If we waited until all was perfect…well we’d never actually get out there and meet anyone now would we, let alone get anything done.
Best to know what is going on in your own life, be aware of where you are in life, what you’re looking for, and move forward.

These are very helpful comments. If we wait until everything is perfect, we will never get there. Where you are is good enough!
Also agree with the financial assessment. For many if not most of world population, it has been a trying 3 years.

I really, really enjoyed this post!
It was a relieve to read about “perfection”, which in Spain we describe it as the enemy of Good.
Your advice about finnances is very intelligent! Gracias!

Lisa McLellan says
October 1, 2011 at 8:01 PMAh perfection, it has eluded me for so very long. It took me about 30 years to realize that no matter how hard I tried I was never going to be perfect. But, even though I gave up believing I could ever be perfect, I still try to be so that I will always be the best I can be. Great post.
