BARRINGTON, N.J., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- It's fairly easy to meet men. The problem is trying to find the right man. In Finding The Right Man For You: Dating Advice for Women, Lawrence J. Danks not only tells how to meet more men, but offers 28 guidelines to help women know when they have found him. The author suggests these dating advice tips:

Meet More Men

The best way to find the right man is to meet more of them. Make it a goal to say hello to three interesting men a day.

Stay Alert

Anytime you're out is a potential chance to meet someone. A CNN feature said a woman's mother told her that she would never meet anyone taking photos of pandas at the zoo. That's just where she met her husband.

Dress Up

Make yourself stand out. Men always notice someone who really looks good - just like women do.

Take the Initiative

When you see a man who interests you, you talk first! Don't hope a man might say something to you. He might not. Don't let potential opportunities slip right by you, perhaps forever.

Tell Everybody You Are Looking

If you were in business would you keep it a secret? If finding the right man to share your life with is important to you, engage as many reliable agents as you can.

Get Out

Unless you're online searching, you're not going to meet anyone at home. Go to social events and activities you enjoy.

Volunteer

You will meet people who care about others, not just about themselves. Isn't that the kind of guy you'd like to meet?

Take a Closer Look at Work

Most women's response is that they already know everyone there and that they have no interest in any of them. But anyone who works even in a medium-sized workplace probably hasn't met everyone there - those who work nights or weekends, work part time or who work in a different building. Don't be so sure. Start wandering around more. Customers and visitors are possibilities too.

Danks offers many more suggestions than those listed here and covers a wide variety of topics in his 28-chapter book including: dating after divorce and loss, guarding against men who lie, dating safety, intimacy, dating when women have children and work pressures, and finding happiness.

He says using the Internet is important. The author commented, "Even if a woman has had bad experiences, it shouldn't rule her future. She should evaluate what went wrong and improve her technique. Women can scope out several hundred men in an hour. Where else could a woman use her time as efficiently?"
