How To Attract Your Perfect Partner, Part II

Let’s continue the story of how I attracted and met my perfect partner, Dan. In November 2007 I was introduced to a book called The Law of Attraction, by Michael Losier. I had read dozens of books on personal development that year, but this one is really more of a workbook,
rather than just a book. There are some very specific exercises you can do, in order to send the most accurate message out into the Universe.  On November 25, 2007 I worked through the exercise to attract my ideal partner and came up with a one page summary of what I was looking for. For example, he has to live within a one hour drive (no more long distance for me), be fluently bilingual in French & English, be open to a relationship (I wasn’t interested in dating, I was training for Ironman #3), be affectionate and loving.  The following week, I recall being out running with a friend and mentioning that I was going to spend New Year’s Eve with my boyfriend.  Keep in mind that I wasn’t even dating anyone at this time, nor was there anyone in the picture!

In the meantime, the stars were lining up for Dan as well.  Dan is from Niagara Falls, and at that time, had been living in St. Catherines, working in Amherst, NY.  In the late fall of 2007, Dan was laid off from his role in the States and had to find another job as a computer programmer.  He was hired by Adflow, a local company, right here in Burlington in later October 2007.  Dan had been single for a while, taking some time for himself after a bad break-up.

Now, how did I get to Adflow to connect with Dan?  Even better story: my good friend from McMaster Sports (where I worked in university), Jenn (McNaughton) Newton found me on Facebook, in Sept 2007.  We realized that she worked just down the street from where I live and decided to have lunch one day.  Over lunch, we ended up discussing business, and one thing lead to another, and we ended up doing business together.  This was also an interesting turn of events, as I usually don’t bring up business over lunch with old friends that I haven’t seen in a while, I like to re-connect first.  Because of our business connection, I would often drop by the office to bring things to Jenn or connect on her lunch hour.

On Friday Dec 7th, 2007,  I had just finished cleaning the house (hadn’t even showered yet) and popped by to see Jenn, to lend her a copy of The Secret.  That was the day that she introduced Dan and I.  I noticed right away that he was cute and tall, but we barely exchanged more than a few sentences. She introduced us on Facebook (thanks FB, even though I’ve been cheating on you with Twitter) and I immediately saw that he had been to school in French and that he was bilingual.  I was already excited!

Dan & Julie

Our first phone call was the following Monday evening, and we spoke for over a half hour – in French. Let me tell you guys, speaking French is a GREAT way to pick up French girls!! It’s worth keeping up your highschool French. We did hit if off immediately, and set up our first date for the following Wednesday at lunch.

Stay tuned for Part III – The First Date and all of the ways that Dan is the exact man I had asked for (it’s a bit creepy, actually).

Thanks to those who commented on the last post.  Please share your true love story with us!
