If you’re single and wondering where your person is, and how to actually find them… you’re not alone. It turns out, it’s not just about luck. Professional Matchmaker, Laurie Berzack, founder of Carolinas Matchmaker, joins Charlotte Today to share some simple, smart strategies to help you increase your chances of meeting the right match.

Love isn’t magic, it’s a mix of mindset, strategy, and showing up in the right places. When those things come together, your chances of meeting your person go way up. Here are steps to take to find that special someone:

• Step 1: Say ‘yes’ to more opportunities: It’s the first thing someone can do to really open the door to meeting their person. “If you’re serious about meeting someone, you need to create more chances for that to happen” says Berzack. She adds “that doesn’t mean going on 10 dates a week…it means putting yourself in new situations. Say yes to the friend’s dinner invite, try the community event, take the trip, join the class.”  Love rarely finds us on the couch.
• Step 2: Get clear on what really matters to you: Know what you’re looking for. That trips a lot of people up. You’ve got to get crystal clear on what you’re truly looking for in a partner. She adds “….I’m not talking about the superficial checklist—like “must love dogs and be 6’0. I mean core values. How someone treats people, how they handle conflict, what kind of future they want. When you’re clear on that, you stop wasting time with the wrong people—and start spotting the right ones so much faster.”
• Step 3: Work on your energy, not just your profile. Don’t feel nervous or even discouraged after some bad dating experiences. Work on your energy, not just your profile. You can have the best photos and bio, but if you’re showing up guarded, distracted, or burned out? People can feel that. The most attractive quality in anyone is open, grounded, confident energy. That starts with how you feel about yourself—and about dating. At Carolinas Matchmaker, clients are coach through the process. Carolinas Matchmaker works on mindset, communication, and helping clients reconnect with what makes them magnetic; because when you feel good, your dating life starts to reflect that.

Say yes to more opportunities, get clear on what really matters, and bring confident energy to the process. For more information visit @carolinasmatchmaker on Social Media!
