Are You Waiting For Him To Change?

When my children were small, they had a Dachshund named Squeezer and a white Manx named Puff.  When people came to our house they would jump back at the sight of the cat and ask in a half-scared voice, “Is that a rabbit?”  The cat did sort of hop along when she walked, and with no tail at all, she was a little weird.  But my son, who was four at the time, would say, “No – she’s a cat – but she’s gonna grow a tail someday. And Squeezer’s gonna grow up and be a Doberman!”

This week, I was out brushing my horse, Jake, and thinking about the guy who used to shoe our horses as a kid.  I could instantly hear the clang—clang—clanging of his hammer as he shaped the iron shoe to fit the horse’s hoof.  We called him by his last name, Doolittle, and he talked with nails between his lips as the smell from the hot horseshoe placed on the hoof rose and filled the air with a pungent odor.  He called me Gabby because I talked...a lot... as he hammered and listened.  I can still see his big weathered hands, leather apron and crooked smile.  Between his distinct style, laid-back approach to life, and his way of making you feel special, who could forget someone like this?

When you’re single, you need something that gives you a memorable persona.  You might not want to smell like an old horse blanket but if you want to make a lasting impression in the dating world, maybe there are some tips from an unforgettable farrier that could come in handy:

If you are single, want to date, and met someone attractive at a party, would they remember you and call you tomorrow? Do you know how to stand out in a crowd? What is your unforgettable identity?

Being a dating single requires that you define yourself in a way that is memorable. It's a lot like marketing a product--you need an unmistakable brand. It isn't the best-looking or brainiest person who gets the dates. Presentation and intelligence are only part of multiple factors that contribute to your being remembered. Will he remember you tomorrow? Think about the following:
