The Dating Optimist

Listen to the interview.

Relationship expert Amy Spencer has written for Glamour, New York, Harper’s Bazaar, Page Six Magazine and Match.com among other publications, and is the former host of a relationship call-in show on Sirius satellite radio’s Maxim channel.

Though Amy found her “half orange” she understands that being single can be depressing and that it’s easy to go crazy trying to attract the right person your way.  She says you don’t have to change who you  are, play games, exhaust yourself with countless dates, convince yourself  that you might be able to develop feelings for someone or make dating your  job. The ONLY thing you have to do is to live your genuine life so positively that you will literally attract the right person to yourself! What’s the secret to all of this? Decide with 100% confidence that great love will come your way by focusing your whole mind and body on how incredible it will feel when it does.

Why a half-orange? It’s based on the Spanish term mi media naranja (“my half-orange”), used to describe one’s sweetheart, one’s perfect other half.  In her book, Meeting Your Half Orange: An Utterly Optimistic Guide to Using Dating Optimism to Find Your Perfect Match, Amy shares the 6 phases for properly planting the seeds of success for love.

1. BELIEVE YOU CAN HAVE IT.

2. ADMIT YOU WANT IT.

3. WHAT DO YOU WANT?

4. FOCUS AND IMAGINE FEELING IT.

5. LIVE A HAPPY LIFE

6. HOW TO RECOGNIZE YOUR HALF-ORANGE.
