Hear that? It’s the clock ticking down on 2013. It’s time to say sayonara to last year and hello to 2014. I know it’s cliché, but I love to start a new year off with resolutions. It’s just the perfect time to reflect, set some goals and look forward to making your future even better than your past. I tend to keep my most personal resolutions to myself. I weirdly treat them like birthday wishes and don’t share them because then they might not come true. So, don’t ask me to share mine! But, if you’re a single girl, I have some resolutions that should be on your list for 2014.

Make time for dating
If you’re not setting aside two nights a week to date, you’re not really trying to meet a man. I know it sounds like a lot of time to invest, but it’s the only way you’re going to meet someone. Make the time to meet your guy and he’ll appear. But, if you allow yourself to get too busy in work, friends and, let’s face it, Internet TV, your guy is never going to get the chance to meet you and you’re going to spend another year single. Tough to hear, I know. But, someone had to say it!

Kick up your game every day
I get a lot of flack for my physical critiques of women on the show, but I’m not doing it because I enjoy telling women to brush their hair and wear dresses. That isn’t my hobby, people! I do it because it works! Men care about looks. A lot! Every man dreams of having the most beautiful woman in the room on his arm. So, you need to show him that you can make the dream come true. Just dress the part! Have your hair and make up did all the time and always wear something cute. I know, a lot of effort. But, what if you run into a potential soul mate at the grocery store when you’re dressed like a slug? He’s not going to notice you and then it’s bye bye soul mate!

Date yourself
Take time for you, girl! Spend time getting to know yourself. I love long walks or hikes with no music for this. Being centered and confident with who you are will serve you very well in your dating life.

Say yes more
I know first dates can be terrible and awkward, but do your best to be more open-minded and say yes to things you’d normally say no to. A guy who isn’t as attractive as your dream man asks you out? Say yes! You never know how handsome you’ll find a guy once you get to know him better. Does he want to do something wild like rock climbing on a first date? Even though you’re a little scared, say yes! Adrenaline can really make a first date fun. Basically, say yes to embracing the uncertainty of dating. You never know when or where love is going to pop up. It’s often in the most unexpected of places.

Trust your gut
I know I just gave you the “say yes more” rule. But, sometimes you have to say no and you know when. If a guy is rubbing you wrong in that creepy chills down your back kind of way, just say no. Don’t feel like you need to keep dating a guy because he’s great on paper. I’ve had way too many friends get in way too deep with creeps and once they finally got out of those relationships confess to me that they always knew he was bad news. They just ignored their gut. Let’s stop that in 2014, ladies. Trust your gut. If you have the icks, get out! A woman’s gut instinct is never wrong!
Sending you loveys all my best wishes for the most fantastic year ever!
