Seven Things Fairy Tales Teach Women About Their Perfect Match

iStock_000002413968SmallFairy tales are happy because they end right. It’s comforting, familiar and just what women are looking for in life. And they might not seem very realistic, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn anything from them.  In fact, fairy tales teach women seven important things about their perfect match.

Fairy Tales and Life

Lots of girls dream of wearing a beautiful white dress and going to an altar to meet the perfect groom and sailing into the sunset for a happily ever after. Most people feel that that’s where the fairy tale ends. Life takes over and things go downhill. That’s not true. Life may not seem like a fairy tale, but a lot of lives don’t, including the lives of the fairy tale princesses. Think about it. Sleeping Beauty didn’t have parents and was raised in the woods by three fairies who didn’t let her talk to anyone else. Snow White had a stepmother who hated her and tried to kill her. But they still met their perfect match, and they recognized him when they showed up.

Things Women Can Learn From Fairy Tales About Their Perfect Match

So what CAN you learn from fairy tales about your perfect match? Think about these things.

1-      He’s charming.

He’ll make you fall in love with him. You won’t help being attracted to him and you’ll want to make the relationship with him work.

2-      He’s perfect for YOU.

He might not be right for someone else. Your friends might not find your perfect match is attractive or funny, but you do, and that’s what’s important. He complements you.

3-      He doesn’t come when you expect him to come.

The right person might not walk into your life until much later than you expect. But that doesn’t mean it’s too late. Snow White was dead when he came. Probably, she’d have expected him to save her, and he did – with a kiss and not a sword.

4-      He doesn’t come too late.

It’s not over until it’s over. Just because you haven’t met your perfect match yet doesn’t mean you’re not going to meet him. Just keep your eyes open.

5-      The meeting is just the beginning.

After you meet your perfect match, there’s a lot left to come. The fairy tales call it “happily ever after” but for the rest of the world, it’s life.

6-      Kisses matter.

Sometimes, it’s really easy to skip the part of the relationship where you’re taking it show and getting to know one another. Especially if you’ve had sex, it’s really easy to take the beginning of a relationship for granted. But kissing matters. How a person kisses says a lot about them. It can tell you if they just want sex, or if they’re willing to wait. A kiss might not save your life, but it can definitely change your life.

7-      They don’t change, but your perspective can.

You shouldn’t be with someone you want to change. It doesn’t happen. But the way you see the person can change.

Fairy tales always seem distant from real life, but they can teach women a lot about life, relationships and their perfect matches.

Get the Most Out of a Compatible Match Through Online Dating

iStock_000003342465XSmall

If you sign up for an online matchmaking service, you’re not alone. These services have hundreds of people sign up all the time. When you find a compatible match through one of these services, there are lots of things you can do to make sure you get a compatible match who could become your perfect match.

Five Steps for Getting a Compatible Match

1-      Talk to your date ahead of time.

Just because you’re compatible with someone, doesn’t mean they’re the right person for you. By talking to the person, you can get a feel for what he or she is like beyond a simple paper description. You’ll get a feel for his or sense of humor, the way he talks and even how she’ll treat you.

2-      Talk to more than one person at a time.

If you talk to several people at once you can get to know more people. There’s nothing wrong with this, especially while the relationship is only online. You get a feel for what your matches are like and learn who might be the right one for you.

3-      Do a background check.

For a small amount of money, you can find out a lot about a person. Learn if he or she graduated high school, college, has any arrests or a history. You can even check his or her profile on Facebook or Myspace and learn about friends, lifestyle habits and day-to-day life. This can prepare you for the type of person to expect. It can also help you decide if maybe someone isn’t what you want.

4-      Find out what he or she wants form a relationship.

If you’re talking to someone about a relationship, you should know what the person you’re interested in wants out of you. Know if you’re getting in a relationship that will let you do the things you want and is going in the same direction as you. If you want to find a compatible match who wants to settle down, get married and start a family, you don’t want to go out with someone who is opposed to marriage. Finding this kind of thing out ahead of time will save you a lot of hardship in the long run.

5-      Find out how your compatible match spends his time.

It goes mostly without saying that people who pass their time in completely different ways aren’t compatible. If a person who is on your list of compatible matches likes to go to church and spend an evening at home reading, while you want to go out and party every night, chances are it’s not going to work. Find out about the other person’s interests and see how deep your similarities go.

Successful dating, even with a compatible match has its trials. Although most matchmaking services match people based on compatibility, some things are hard to judge by just answering a few questions. By taking a few pre-cautionary steps, you can get to know the person you’re going to be dating to find out if they’re somebody you want to spend your time with.
