Quest For Your White Knight
From Relationship Counselor: Licensed Professional

Women are the key to starting relationships! Don't wait to be rescued; take control of finding your White Knight.

Many times we hear women say that there is no one out there for them. But it's very possible that there is a potential suitor right under their nose - someone with whom they come into contact on a daily basis and just do not notice.

Why? Because women are waiting for the flamboyant WHITE KNIGHT in shining armor to appear on his white horse. Your potential suitor; however, may actually be waiting for you!

The research may surprise you:

  • As much as 70% of men fear rejection and are too shy to approach women.

    Therefore, only 30% are not. When women complain that all the good ones are taken, it is because they do not see the other 70% who are in their environment.

  • Women initiate eye contact in social situations.

    Those quick glances are the foreplay to a relationship. If a woman makes eye contact with a man, he is more likely to approach her. If she makes eye contact a second time and holds that eye contact, he is even more likely to approach her.

  • Women who include a smile communicate that they are SAFE to approach.

    Men are attracted to FRIENDLY women. They look for approachability. If you give the signals, they will flock to you.

To find your potential suitor, you start by noticing who is out there. This does not mean you lower your standards and put up with bad behavior. It means that you examine your "expectations" to determine if they are based upon reality. A real-life White Knight is going to have some rough edges just like all humans.

We often notice what we are looking for. If we believe, "all men are mean or cruel or jerks," then that is what we will find. But if we look for and notice men with qualities that we are seeking, then that is what we will find.

4 Ways to Find Your White Knight:

  • Notice who is in your daily life.

    With whom do you come into contact? To whom do you say hi? Who says hi to you? Who do you bump into? Who do you see in your gaze across the room? Who is in your world that you are not noticing?

  • Be realistic – your potential suitor will have many good qualities and he will have flaws.

    He will not be wearing White Knight attire; just as, you will not be dressed like Cinderella.

  • Make Eye Contact

    Attract wonderful, respectful men who are too shy to make the first move.

  • Flash a Smile

    See what happens!

Think of this process as a quest. Dating is part of your search and you continue to be selective. Every potential suitor you meet on your quest will not be "The One" but your territory and possibilities have just expanded. Determine how to know when to keep dating, when to stop and continue on your quest.

Outfitted with your eye contact and smile, you will find your White Knight.
