"Looking for a Boyfriend" Personal Ads

Anyone who wants to place a personal ad themselves should take this advice: don't just write "looking for a boyfriend" and your contact details, but also say what matters to you. Everyone is different, and ending up with someone you're not on the same wavelength with only adds to the ways a search can go wrong. First, answer some questions for yourself. What do I like and what don't I like? What interests do I have and what do I want to talk about? Am I looking for a boyfriend for something casual, or rather for the heart and for love? Then comes the next question: what should he look like? A personal ad in particular leaves a lot of room for creativity.

The "Looking for a Boyfriend" Sign

Once you know exactly what you're looking for, you've already answered many questions and made the search for a possible counterpart easier. But the right person might still not cross your path, precisely because you're not looking for them. It's also worth keeping your eyes and ears open in public and on your way to work. You quickly get talking to nice people, and sometimes that conversation turns into a coffee. Sometimes you hope it could become more than small talk and yet nothing comes of it, because you're not honest with yourself and don't steer the conversation toward a meeting. After all, nobody walks through the streets with a sign that says "looking for a boyfriend". Who likes to be that blunt?

The unexpected often happens

On my own search for a boyfriend almost 16 years ago, I went the pen pal route. I placed an ad in a magazine for finding pen pals. I didn't want to fall in love, since I had just come out of a difficult breakup. But as fate would have it, that's how I found the one I wasn't looking for, and with him the great love of my life.
