The Applaud Women publication is dedicated to women in New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. It's purpose is to inspire, inform, and
applaud local women. The core of the magazine is our inspirational women's articles, most of which feature local women but occasionally we are
able to interview national women who we feel provide a unique inspiration for our readers. Our other articles cover topics of interest such as food
recipes, home, garden, beauty, health, fashion, dating, parenting, seniors, finance, business, hair care, skin care, advice, real estate, insurance,
weddings etc. Each issue has a feature section as well. Many of our articles are written by local business people who provide information
relevant to their business expertise. The Applaud Women website is also a resource center for local women including the most comprehensive
listings of Restaurants, Weddings, Female doctors and Hotels. It also includes a number of informational pages with links, articles and RSS feeds
to both local and national websites of interest to women in NH & n. MA.

Where Do I Find Him? By Cheri Valentine
|
In searching for Mr. Right, I am often asked, “Where Can I Find Him?” Many women do not enjoy going to bars and feel like a fish out of water
when they do go. Other people think they are too busy to look. First of all, you can find him anywhere doing what you already do. This works
best when you are living your life from a place of presence and joy. When you are happy with yourself, and your life, you will attract and be
drawn to others who are also happy with themselves and their life. You connect without even trying by just being open. Of course, you must
believe this is possible. However, it is helpful to have a little more guidance, so I offer you the following.
There are several strategies for finding people to meet. Choose venues where you can effectively meet people who can be likely potential
partners. The more aligned the venue is with your interests and values, the higher rate of success you will experience. Have an open mind about
dating, enjoy the people you meet, and be present when dealing with people. Be yourself. Stay true to yourself. This begins with knowing who
you are, what you want, trusting that you will meet the right one for you, and committing to wait until you meet him. Until you do meet the right one,
evaluate each experience for the lesson which makes your life and the search for your perfect partner richer.
First, stay open when in PUBLIC SETTINGS – the grocery store, post office, coffee shop, and work place, at the ball field where your children play
sports, or the playground, beach, amusement parks. You can meet people anywhere; so do not discount these public places as a way to meet
someone who could have your top requirements.
A second way to meet men are at GENERIC SINGLE EVENTS - such as singles dances or single gatherings of any kind, personal ads, dating
services, and Internet dating sites. You are getting a bit more specific where you will meet people who are single.
A third venue which is more specific are SPECIAL INTEREST ACTIVITIES - ski club, hiking club, chess club, or any club that is of interest to you;
photography class, art class, etc. Here you can meet people who have more in common with you besides being single. It is also an opportunity to
make friends and build a community of support even with people who are not single. Married people have single friends.
Finally by being open and attentive in your HIGLY ALIGNED COMMUNITIES that share your values, interests, goals, and passions – church
communities, social activist groups, and spiritual organizations for starters. These are also great places to ask for help in meeting single friends.
By asking for help from the members in these communities, and letting people know you are actively looking to find the right person for you, you
increase the numbers of men to meet.
I recommend checking out www.meetup.com. They offer a wide variety of venues to meet people who share the same interests, passions, and
ideals as you. You can practice social skills as well as make friends or form supportive communities.
Part of being a successful single looking for love is to be living your life fully. When you are living life, enjoying your present moments and taking
in life for the pure pleasure and experience it offers, you are in a far better position to meet your future love partner, one who also is happily living
his life while waiting to meet you.
