subject: How to Marry Off Your ‘Ex'! [print this page] How to Marry Off Your Ex'! How to Marry Off Your Ex'!
Do you feel responsible for ex'? Feel a bit guilty that you have your freedom and can see that your ex' is still pining for you.
Would you feel more comfortable if your ex' was settled in a permanent relationship? I know because I introduced my ex' to his next wife.
There are many ways you can do this, for instance:
1 Host regular parties with only single people in attendance. (If your ex' is still pining for you and you are there each time it may not work.)
2 Persuade your ex' to join a singles tennis club or bushwalking club or similar so that he is out there meeting other singles. (Of course it won't work if he/she doesn't have the motivation.)
3 Persuade your ex' to spend Saturdays in the shopping aisles at the local supermarket and talk to people who shop on their own. For example say words to the affect: "I see you are buying brown rice, is it better for you than white rice?" (May not work if he/she is a very busy person.)
4 Suggest your ex' takes a singles cruise. He is sure to meet many interesting singles that way. (Although if he/she meets a person from interstate and decides to move interstate and you have young children you may have to move too to see the children regularly.)
5 Persuade your ex' to join an on-line dating service. (Although if your ex' hates dishonesty in others he/she won't thank you. I am told that people on dating sites use airbrushed photos or photos that are anything up to 30 years old. People on dating sites are also not exactly truthful about their profile. Most people on dating sites are inclined to write a profile of how they would like to be rather than how they actually are. Of course. if your ex' is a busy person and doesn't have much spare time, meeting a suitable person on an on-line site is a laborious and time consuming past-time.)
6 Finally, the best suggestion would be to encourage your ex' to join an introduction agency. Show them the Entre Nous website www.singles.net.au . If your ex' is a Gen X or a Gen Y they will want to read up as much as they can about us beforehand. If your ex' is hesitant because of shyness or discomfort, offer to call the introduction agency yourself. Tell your ex' that you will pass on his/her details and to expect a call fairly promptly.
Tell your ex' that our receptionist will call him/her and invite them in for a coffee and a bit of a chat to find out what is important to them. We will show your ex' some profiles of suitable people to give him/her an idea of the type of people we have available for them to meet. We will also show your ex' our Power Point Presentation of how our Membership Program works.
Reassure your ex' that there is no obligation to purchase and that he/she will be made welcome and put at ease.
Should your ex' not want you to call us, you could always provide us with your ex's' details and we would be delighted to call him/her and keep calling until we have developed a relationship with your ex' so that he/she will eventually feel comfortable about paying us a visit.
Before you know it, your ex' will have a spring in his/her step and will be telling you how he/she has met a prospective partner. You never know your ex' may be indebted to you forever.
