Dating Strategy During Difficult Economic Times
Posted by John Holt on Thu, Feb 25, 2010 @ 08:51 AM
Hi friends, I am on the economic kick again. Those of you who have listened to my radio show for a while know me only to well when it comes to the economy.Tonight in the 2nd hour of networking singles you will hear me address this.You can hear me by tuning into 1380 am on your dial in northern rhode island and blackstone valley.If you are from elsewhwere you can stream it on the internet at www.wnri.com 6-8 pm, dont miss it, call in if you do listen.
Dating and relationships dont stop in bad economic times.This is a historic downturn in this economy we are in.My personal message to you is that getting serious about working with each other in every walk of life is the focus I reccomend. In dating there is a factor that rises above all economic issues.The actual mingling, social connection and development requires no money.You can be totally broke financially and socially rich from interaction.I have recognized the uneasiness of the times we are in.I continue to move this business forward because my willingness to work with people is strong and pricing is reasonable.
There is a security factor in relationships, going it single leaves you no safety net.I certainly am not advocating for ending up in a relationship just for economic reasons, however embracing the thought begins with a plan for progress.This means that you must begin to do something.Meeting people can be inexpensive if you do things that cost less.Dating becomes expensive when you choose to make it that way.In these times woman are concerned about security, men are retreating due to confidence issues, woman can help men by placing less pressure on men to wine and dine to impress, men can help woman by making themselves more available for meet and greet, in other words low cost less pressure meeting.Now there are many men and woman doing well and so I just say to you keep on with whatever your doing.
Unemployment is getting worse, there are far more people unemployed now , so I ask, should you stop dating because your unemployed? This has been a difficult decision to make for many because looking for prospects is the center of dating, so when your unemployed you feel less than you did when you were employed and folks if you think this is a deal breaker then perhaps any day now you could be unemployed and then your view will change.The measuring stick of how economically successful we are should no longer be the larger barometer of who we date.Dating is not marriage and economics runs in cycles, this cycle will be long and being with someone who you just like and are atracted to is so loyal to a person and not to a portfolio.
Our community has been destroyed to a certain extent by politicians who only care about power and reelection to public office, they don't care about your everyday struggle to get the good life or to make wealth or to just make ends meet, so once again we must in the business community work with consumers and understand the times we are in. The people who decide based on net worth who you are, will forever be shallow and are not realistic about real relationship building.Money is comforting it gets you things, you live easy , well that is great.Money doesn't give you any foundation for a great relationship. So when you meet an unemployed person dont dismiss them as non dateable because this could be you next month.
The economic times means a different strategy.The strategy now is an exchange of who you really are because we are in a downfall that could reduce your lifestyle by 40% so now you must change from status oriented choice to intrinsic choice, look inside at who they are not what they are worth, rise up to higher ground.I believe then you will find your real partner in dating.
My committment as a matchmaker is to take you to the deepest levels of reality sweet or sour as it might be.Staying in relationships and building new ones will help, it is connection during these times that will make progress.If Sally is so nice then Bill ought to think that it must be time for Sally and Bill to move in or get married and together your safer. Only if you really care for each other.It is the times we are in that should give you the following strategic pathway.
1 Take action to meet people without rating them on economic success.
2 Seek out less expensive ways to meet people.This is why my services are inexpensive.
3 When you find either many people to socially network with or individuals to date your emotional state of mind is in support of positive as opposed of negative.No one should be isolated.So find the individuals and the networks.
4 If you believe going on with life alone is wise accept your demise, if you become chosen to be next in unemployment. Besides that, men and woman have a need to be with each other.This is why my business is recession proof.The longer you unnaturally force yourself to stay alone the likely depression of the mental illness kind will permeate your life, so stop fighting it.
5 Come to a complete understanding that relationships are part of life, getting into the right one has to do with personalities not looks and not wealth. You will choose the right person if you follow this.
So what we are faced with is out of control misguided govt. no longer by the people and for the people so you must rely on common man and woman to co mingle how you live. Caring for each other when it becomes unaffordable because your all each other will have.Business working with consumers to get results and consumers embracing business. In a capatalistic economy business must be embraced by consumer or the downturn will get worse.I see people in the business community struggling.I try to be helpful with strategy sharing.I am fortunate that my busines is doing well.It is because my message is resonating.I am the merchant that forces you to embrace reality.The brand of tri-state dating service is realistic matchmaking, changing the industry every day every moment every minute in every communication.Let's get serious about alliances in dating social networks and business networks because helping each other is the road to recovery, the govt. will not help you.
