We all know Mr Right is coming, but in a modern and busy world it might take a while. In the meantime, entertain yourself a Mr Right Now – and you may even speed up the process of meeting your True Love!

Back in the day, you could expect to have found your Mr
Right by around 17 – and even that was on the late end. I mean, Snow White was
like 14. Juliet was 13. Kinda different end results maybe, but the point is
they were both young and they both found the Man of Their Dreams.
These days you may have to wait a little longer while you
stumble through the tragi-comicical events of trying to be a Career Woman
(silly girl!), or while you spend a few years confused about your identity and
accidentally marry someone who isn’t giving you the masculine support you need
to be the true Independent (and Sexy) Woman you have inside you, or while you simply struggle to make
that crucial connection with Mr Right in the ever-expanding modern world. You might
have to wait until you’re 24, or maybe you’ll be nearing that dangerous 37 mark
(hear those ovaries ticking like Captain Hook’s croc?), or you might even be
waaaaay past 50 before you at last meet the real man for you.
Mr Right is coming,
but he’s not here yet. The good news is that as a woman in the 21st
Century you don’t have to be alone while you wait. In fact, finding a Mr Right
Now may even speed up the process to getting your Mr Right.
Things to Remember
Before you start looking for your Mr Right Now, keep these points in mind.
- Mr Right
Now has a purpose to serve in your life. He might be a companion for you,
stop you getting lonely while you keep your eye out for the real deal. Or he
might take the more important role of setting you up with the character history or the plot that you need to meet your real Mr Right – your True
Love.
- You need
to pick a Mr Right Now that’s going to suit your personality best, and who is most
likely to set you up for the Mr Right you know is coming – whether that comes through a
social connection, a realisation, or the kind of damage (emotional or physical) that only your True
Love can save you from.
- You are not settling for Mr Right Now. Even
if you might start to think that you’re Falling In Love with him, you’re not,
and there’s no way you ever will.
- Mr Right
now is not an actual person with any
real depth, so, at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter how you treat
him or what happens to him except for
the way this might serve to develop your own personality and your story.
- Your end goal is Mr Right – and don’t you worry, sugar cupcake, he’s coming.
Suitable Mr Right Nows
Here's some suggestions for Mr Rights you might look out for.
- Pick a sweet,
portly loser. This means he’s likely to be a touch needy, so you won’t ever
fall into that trap of thinking you might actually love him after all, but it
also means he’ll spoil you and tell you like you’re amazing all the time. If
you need to, you’ll have no trouble at all emotionally manipulating this one.
Plus you get to boost his confidence, just by being yourself around him.
Brownie points!
- Pick a
real jerk. This may encourage your True Love to come along faster. Mr Right may step
out of the shadows and save you from this asshole, or maybe later on you'll be in just the right position for him to come and save you from yourself. This is a riskier option with a whole range
of potential difficulties, so if you’re going for a jerk make sure you’re getting
some perks as well. Like he’s super rich, or super hot. The more likely he is to cheat
on you, the hotter he’ll need to be. The more likely he is to give you the
bash, the hotter and richer he’ll need to be. It’s a sliding scale, and you’ll
need to work it out, but don’t sell
yourself short. And in the meantime, you’re building the foundations for an
even more dramatic entrance of your True Love and and even deeper connection
with him.
- Pick an
older man. He’s likely to have money, maturity, and sexual experience. You
have potentially got a lot to gain from a Mr Right Now experience with an older
man. Whether you’re wearing those metaphorical pants by flaunting your hot
youthful bod and emotionally manipulating him, or whether he’s got the power
over you and will eventually ditch you (he decides to keep his wife, he just
wants to bang you, etc), you end up in the ideal position to be awoken to Mr
Right.
- Pick a
jock. He’s going to be hot and have a mean as social life. You’ll
definitely see benefits from the first, and you may also benefit from the
second. It’s possible that the social side will lead you to Mr Right by
strange, subversive means. Although your jock Mr Right Now will be shallow, this will throw your intelligence and unappreciated depths into relief. Mr
Right won’t be able to resist.
- Pick the weird kid. The one no one else will pick. There are two reasons to pick this boy – firstly, it’ll show all the people who are trying to rob you of your personal identity that you are a unique individual. Secondly, it’s likely to put you in the path of dark brooding characters, such as vampires. You want to know the reason you haven’t met your Mr Right, your True Love, yet? He’s been living in another part of the world for the last three centuries (probably somewhere sophisticated and European) and he’s only just moved into town.
