Become friends with a lot of men from different backgrounds and with different personalities.
See which type of personality or interests suit yours best.
Look for someone with that profile.
Date a few people until you find someone you feel safe and "yourself" with.
Ensure you both want the same thing (Looking for a lifelong commitment.)
See how they react to your personal problems (Do the "Are you a narcissist?" test)
Make sure you know all about each other's bad side as well as the good.
Date them long enough that you see them in a variety of settings and contexts.
Spend time with them around your family, to get feedback.
For the most part, trust that feedback.
Listen to your gut.
Keep a diary of what's happening in your relationship, good and bad.
Reflect on it a lot.
See that you have the same spending habits, and you can communicate / resolve conflict well.
See that you have the same sex drive and sexual interests.
See your doctor before having sex, so you know it will be safe.
Talk about things like whether you will want children, or how you'll raise your kids.
Hope for the best.


As for general info on how to meet the person, look for the best possible scenario first.
If you don't want a drinker, don't go to a pub.
If you don't want an artist, don't go to art shows.
Maybe watch videos or take classes about improv acting and how to talk to strangers.

It depends, it can be as simple as hiring a matchmaker, dating for a period, then proposing, then getting a license and having the ceremony.

It can be more complicated in terms of dating around until you find somebody that meets your needs and then doing the rest of the previous steps.

Now that I am 30 I don't want to wait too long for marriage and want to start moving things along!

Also my mom has dementia and IDK how much longer she will be alive

I want her to see me walk down the aisle at my wedding

So I have decided to start dating with intention in order to move things forward

First, I MUST determine whether Jerry is a truly good guy by observing his actions and behaviors once he leaves prison and we go on our first date

If he isn't then I will just keep dating until I find the right man!

First you need to find a kind and honest person who adores you.

Then nature will take its course - with mutual respect.

Alas, there is no sequence of "exact steps" that is guaranteed to get you a husband. It works differently for different people in different situations, and unfortunately you don't have complete control over the outcome. Pure chance/luck plays a big role in whether and how you are able to find a good, compatible husband.

IsabellaLinton's suggestions and caveats earlier in this thread are a good set of guidelines, though there are no guarantees (and perhaps some of what she recommends might not be feasible for you in your situation).

All excellent steps.

Although I would suggest that the OP makes sure that she is attractive to the kind of man she wants to marry, after she decides what kind of man he should be.

Just remember, as Rita Rudner once said, "When I meet a guy, the first question I ask myself is: 'Is this the man I want my children to spend every-other weekend with?'"

This may not be the best place to ask that question.

What are the EXACT STEPS needed to dispose of a husband? I tried down, down, up, up, right, left, right, left, A, B and home but nothing happened.

There's some good advice in this thread. I'll just add:

If you want a decent husband, I think you should avoid dating someone who's just getting out of prison.

I told my kids to look for "big brains, big heart", and the rest would fall into place.

The brains don't actually matter in terms of academics, but in terms of making good decisions.

That's what I was getting at, with "If you don't want a drinker don't go to pubs."

If you don't want a criminal, don't date one.

Yes.
I wrote the list in about one minute flat.
I could have added more but didn't want to drone.

Of course all those things might not happen.
I just really like to brainstorm. :lol:


If you don't feel a rush when they step in the room, the attraction likely won't last.

I still get butterflies from my dude EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Even if I'm upset or we're having a bad day, I remember why I'm drawn to him.

or the person you want your kids to inherit half of their gene pool from?

do you want their parents to be your kids' grandparents?

do you want them to be your grandchildren's grandparent?

family trees last forever
