Don't You Need a Playmate?
No, I'm not referring to the Playboy kind with a bunny tail. And, I don't mean a playmate like your best friend in third grade. I mean someone to DO things with, starting this summer! Someone with whom you can go to concerts, swim, travel and/or just talk over the day's event over a terrific glass of wine. This playmate is someone who can help start your collective memories and be a real joy in your life.
I think with all the earnest and serious talk about finding a soul mate, we sometimes forget one of the most important things we can do for ourselves - play, widely defined, of course. Play is the valuable time-off we have to explore life and its greatness. It's the adventure which quickens our heartbeat, the movie which makes us think what life is about or the exploration of a new store with quirky or fabulous things. While we may love our work - in some cases tolerate it - it's rarely lighthearted. Everything counts, and while you can have fun at work, it's rarely carefree.
Being carefree, even if it's only for a few hours or on a vacation, is a gift we should embrace. It's the feeling we get when we're enveloped by awe on a clear night when the stars seem like they're strung like lights, the total pleasure of being in the moment, trying to navigate white water or just closing our eyes on the beach, with the sun baking us and the water cooling us off.
These moments when we're relaxing are great times. We all know not only do we love doing all of this with a partner, but often a partner will suggest something we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. This brings new thrills or meaning into our life. Most of us have also thought to ourselves after a great meal, movie, wine or sports event, "I'm so glad I was able to share this with someone". Or sadly, "I wish I had someone to see and remember this with me".
Sure, we can enjoy life as a single person. We owe it to ourselves to find the time. And friends can often be exactly the right person to go on a journey with or discuss the latest movie we saw. But, I think having a partner to do these things with is a special blessing. And Perfectmatch.com, with its members - just like you, keeps you're best equipped to search for this special person and a beginning of those fond memories. It's time - to get out there and find your perfect match!
Play is an important bonus in our lives. It's a big part of what keeps us happy, healthy, and grateful for us to have the opportunity to experience life. The motivation to find a playmate might lead to the person you've been looking for as a life-long partner. And when you find your heart's love, life's fun will dramatically increase! Stop for a moment - today, right now - do something for yourself…..answer an email, send an Icebreaker - have some fun…summer is here!
