Have your romantic aspirations flat-lined? Do the objects of your affections keep slipping out of your fingers? Are you over the singles life? Do you despair that you'll never find a soul mate? In short, is your love life an abject disaster?

If this sounds all too familiar, you'll have to make some changes to get out of your rut. The only way to a satisfying love life is through dedicated action.

The first thing to do is to survey where you are at. Determine what you want and ask yourself how you should go about getting it. Remember this simple truth: If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.

Your comfort zone might offer some safety, but you've got to take a few risks to get what you truly desire. When moving in a new direction it's natural to have some apprehensions. But ask yourself honestly "What is the worst thing that can happen?" It is really that bad? It is really that likely?

Make an undertaking to put some effort into your love life. Begin each day with the question: "What can I do today to make my love life better?" Maybe it's going to one party every week to meet new people, maybe it's asking that sexy stranger out, or letting all your friends know you are on the lookout for a lover. But whatever it is, just do it.
