3 ways to find the right partner

1. Be more open minded. Stop searching for someone who fits "your type" - your perfect partner could turn out to be short rather than tall, dark and handsome.

2. Let go of past relationships. Comparing potential partners with past lovers - good and bad - can stop you moving on with someone new.

3. Put yourself out there. You're never going to meet that special person sitting in front of the TV. Say yes to as many invites as possible to give yourself a fighting chance.
