52 Ways to Find True Love cards
If you’re still on the hunt to secure a date before Valentine’s Day, this match-making deck of cards offers you 52 ways to find your true love. Designed so that you can carry these ideas in your purse or back pocket, employ entertaining tactics to start the romantic journey of your dreams. Let this love-searching aide ease your anxiety and prompt you to approach some people you don’t even think to talk to.
One side of the card offers the tip and illustration, and the other side explains the method for its madness. “Network” is no longer just advice for job-hunting. If you flip that card over, you’ll see that finding someone you like is as simple as reaching out to friends, co-workers and relatives and telling them what you are looking for. “Connect Deeply” refers to the opportunities to share a passion you may have with someone else by meeting them at your weekly cooking class or church. Avoid engaging in your favorite activity solo.
You’ve got 52 tips to get through before you can call it quits.
