We all feel lonely every once in a while. We all yearn for a love to call our own, to have and to hold.

We search for the perfect one to spend the rest of our lives with. The one who would love us no matter what. But when we search for so long and we don't find it, we start to lose hope. We start to think that no one would ever love us.

Don't lose hope. Try this instead. Its something that my mother taught me.

Make a list of qualities you want in your dream spouse or boy/girlfriend. Write them all in a positive tone.

If you want someone who doesn't smoke, say "I want someone who has a clean body and mind."

If you want someone who is honest, say "I want someone who is honest."

List all the things you want. But the catch is..... You half to list at LEAST 106 qualities you want in a partner. It may seem impossible, but my mom found over 200 qualities she wanted in a man. So try it for yourself. See how your luck with love will turn out.

And if all else fails, get a pet.

A dog will be loyal to you and will always try to protect you even if it is the size of a rat.

A cat is a good cuddle buddy and fun to tease with a laser pointer.

Birds are entertaining animals if you train them right.

Animals are good friends and companions when humans fall short. Treat them right with love and affection, and they will love you back.
