First impressions of people are hardly and rarely forgotten. You remember the first time the man of your dreams enters the door and glances at you. You remember the first time that bright white smile sparkles and catches your eye. You remember the time when that charming unassuming male specimen walks up to you for the first time and politely yet firmly introduces himself to you.

Ladies,  Mr. Right is full of character and value: a brick and mortar version of the most romantic and sensible individual in your favourite fantasy. But how do you know if you’ve found him?

It’s a tough question to answer.

People communicate a lot about their personality, character, values and motivations just by making decisions around you.  9 times out of 10, you can probably pick up on these things during the first moments you interact with them: from the time you both laid eyes on each other, to the first time you both locked lips, even the way he picks you up and brings you home. Yep, ladies. Something happens, whether a shared moment, a gesture, or even a pleasant scent. It’s the moment you know you have found Mr. Right.

Would you like to know one way you can figure out if you have found Mr. Right? It’s if he drives a  Hybrid car.

Let me explain.

Sure you can find someone with an expensive, flashy car like a Hummer, a pickup truck, or a Lambo, but driving a Hybrid car speaks leaps and bounds about a person’s values  and conscious decisions they make within the environment they live in.

If you compare the drivers of the two, a gas guzzler versus an economic and energy efficient vehicle, which driver would YOU want to date?

Well, let’s work out the details.

Here are 5 ways why you want to pick a hybrid car driver over a conventional driver:

1. The Gas Guzzler driver probably spends more money at the pump to fill up.   Less money that can be spent on you. Hybrid 1 - Gas Guzzler 0
2. Buying a hybrid car can get you a tax break on carbon credit.  More money that can be spent on you. Hybrid 2 - Gas Guzzler 0
3. Your carbon footprint on the environment is less. To the socially responsible person, he is a dream. Hybrid 3 - Gas Guzzler 0
4. It shows confidence that he is not defined by the look of his car and that values and morals mean more to him than materialistic possessions of a hot looking car. He’s confident but not egotistical or a show-off. Hybrid 4 - Gas Guzzler 0
5. If he drives an economic and eco-friendly car, other parts of his life are probably in sync with these values. He’s Mr. Right. Hybrid 5 - Gas Guzzler 0

Summary

It’s really a no brainer. If a guy picks you up in a hybrid car, hang on to him for dear life! You may have just found yourself Mr. Right!

This blog post is from the matchdoctor blog. Someone on my social network shared it with me so I thought I would post it:

A boy looks good with his shirt off
A man looks good because of the way he looks at you

A boy will smile during the good times
A man will laugh during the bad

A boy goes to work because he has to
A man works because he can

A boy buys a plasma screen television
A man accumulates a library

A boy will hug you in the kitchen
A man will hold your hand anywhere you’re together

Q(Jonathan): Help - I’m a 34 year old single guy living in Toronto.  I really don’t have time to meet women because I’m working most of the time.  I make over 100k and can’t seem to find that special someone. What should I do?

A(Relationship Guy): All work and no play makes Johnny a very dull boy. Sure you probably have a nice place to live, a respectable and high paying job…but it sure sounds that you are missing the majority of what you’re looking for in life.

You need to have more fun! Go out and make a promise to yourself to meet new people. You will be surprised with how nice and welcoming the people in Toronto are. As long as you can talk about beer,  Hockey and Government policy,  you can pretty much get into any random conversation with people.

Need a specific place to go? Start with your hobbies! I find that when you do the things you’re interested in, people come into your life. It also allows you to have  fun with no expectations and disappointment when things don’t happen, because after all, you are doing the things that interest you.

Bottom line. If you truly want to meet someone, you have to put yourself in situations that can allow you to meet that girl. SO DO IT!

Hope it works out for you!

P.S. Don’t stay in tonight!

Q(Melissa): So my fiancée and I are about to get married. The only problem is, he doesn’t want to sign a prenup.  My personal net worth is higher than his. He doesn’t like to talk about prenups because he doesn’t want us to talk about the possibility of us breaking up. How should I approach this? What should I do?

A(Relationship Guy): Many people think that prenups are taboo and shouldn’t be considered. In fact, why should prenups exist in the first place? By the basic pretense and definition of marriage When people get married they are supposed to live happily ever after and nothing could tear the people in love apart from each other.WRONG! If Jim Carrey and Jennifer Mccarthy, although never married(together for 5 years), are any indication to you, you need to get your shit together and watch your back(GYSTAWYB).

You have probably worked hard for things you have acquired, if the relationship were to go sour, do you really see yourself having to split that 50-50 with someone?

I think you should sit him down and tell him: look stop being a baby, we need a prenup or this shit isn’t going to work out.  If the tables were reversed, I bet he would be looking for a prenup to protect what he has. Have the confidence to tell him that you love him BUT if anything were to happen, it’s in both of our best interests that what you guys possess going into the marriage should not be shared if there was an unfortunate break up.

Let me know how it goes, Melissa!

Q(Ally) : Help, I’ve been going out with this guy for 6 months who I really like. The only problem is that he’s very good friends with his ex. Normally I’m not a jealous person, however, her name keeps coming up in conversations and I think he may be hiding something from me. What should I do?

A(Relationship Guy): The ex card is an extremely delicate situation to deal with. On one hand, you don’t want to come off as jealous or insecure about his relationship with his ex. On the other hand, you want that bitch to stay as far as possible from your man.

First, you may want to understand why he broke it off with his ex in the first place. This will provide insight into why things didn’t work out. There are BIG issues why people break it off and there are small insignificant things as to why they called it quits.

You want to make sure you do 2 things:

1) Make sure that you don’t make it an issue. If you do, it will always be conflict between the two of you about jealousy etc. No one likes a jealous person. They are extremely hard to deal with because they constantly nag you about issues that they make up in their head.

2) Keep your eyes open and your Sherlock Holmes magnifying glasses close to you. If clues keep coming up to indicate that there may be something going on with them again, try to put things together. You need a smoking gun to bring it up as an issue. If you don’t have one, you will have to be subtle about the questions you’re going to be asking him. Guys hate insecure women.

You also need to be good at judging people’s character. If you think he’s a great guy and his character demonstrates a person of the utmost respect and ethics then you probably have nothing to worry about. If it’s the opposite and he seems a bit sketchy and non-credible, you may want to question yourself on why you’re with him in the first place.

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for the question Ally. Hope things work out for you!
