Hi amanda,

I can tell you exactly how to meet the right man for you. Now, you need to know something about me. I married the wrong guy......three times!!!! Not the same guy three times. But three wrong guys, three times. But the fourth time, I married the right guy. And here's what made the difference.

I decided that I was going to get to know me. So, I went to therapy and got to know me and got to like who I was. I gained some self-esteem. Then, I got busy doing things that I enjoyed doing. By doing that, I started meeting people who liked the same things I liked. This also gave me more confidence. And while I was enjoying myself, I met a man who I had things in common with. We were in the same line of business, we had the same level of intelligence, we had the same sense of humor, we could talk and talk about all kinds of things. I found out as time went on that we had similar family values. It was amazing to me how many things we had in common. In August, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.

Also, my sister didn't get married until she was 32. She had dated her husband for 8 years before she became engaged. They will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary this month. So, not everyone is married by the time they reach 28.

Don't worry so much. You have many years ahead of you. I would give anything to be in your position and have someone tell me that I need to become friends with myself. At your age, I didn't have a clue.

Best of luck to you. Keep us posted.
