Most young people enjoy being young and single and they have a great time with their friends.
Of course, there comes a time when you're not getting any younger and you realize it's time to settle down.
Is 2008 your year to pick a mate? If it is perhaps you should get busy and write down the criteria you need to have if you're going to spend the rest of your life when someone else.
One way to find a mate is to go online to a top rated Internet dating website and post a profile and then browse through the other people who have also posted their profiles.
You will need a checklist of your criteria to match against the profiles of the other suitors.
Write down the things that are most important to you in a mate, remember this person could very well become your better half.
Perhaps you value all honesty, integrity and strength of character.
Perhaps you want someone who is humorous, fun to be around and generally physically fit.
Maybe you are looking for someone to settle down with and have children and if so you want to make sure they will be a good parent and take such a responsibility seriously.
Think about this for a while and write down all the important in pertinent things that you believe you need an inmate.
Next, put a value of 1-10 by each criteria item and logically assess each of the profiles you choose.
Once you meet the person, re-check your work and modify anything that you feel is inaccurate.
I hope this strategy will assist you in picking a mate in 2008.
