Secret to finding your soulmate? Compromise

TURNING DREAM DATES INTO REALITY

- Tony Whitfield

AS SINGLETONS make a new year’s resolution to find their ideal partner, an increasing number are older Britons looking for a soulmate to spend the rest of their years with.

Relationship expert Natalia Kobylkina said most of her clients in the past were young single people looking for someone to start a family with.

But in the run up to Christmas and New Year, more were now in their 40s, 50s and even older, looking for Mr or Mrs Right.

And while priorities may change as people grow older, the key to success for all ages is still compromise, insists the family therapist, psychologist and author.

And she added that while everyone carries baggage from past relationships or childhood, the first thing she advises is to “forgive” past partners, to “cleanse the pain”, so you can move on.

It is also important not to rush into a relationship, but meet at least five prospective partners and then analyse what went well and not so well with each date, to help find true love.

She said: “My big target is to help millions of people find their correct partner, who can support them and have synergy inside the relationship.

“Because when we are together, we are bigger and stronger.

“In the UK we have so many single people who cannot find Mr or Mrs Right.”

The explosion in dating sites for specific age groups was testimony to this.
