Leave your heart open for love!

Increase the odds of meeting a soul mate by keeping an open mind and an upbeat attitude. You may be able to help true love find you if you:

Talk to strangers. Strike up a conversation with anyone -- the guy in line in front of you, next to you on an airplane or in the same aisle at the supermarket.

Put the word out. Ask a friend's husband if he has a buddy you might like. Let your coworkers and acquaintances know you're looking. And when they set you up on a date, by all means, go!

Be friendly. Sit next to the guy who comes to church alone each week, ask your cute new neighbor out for dinner or invite the colleague you always bump into by the elevator to join you for lunch.

Make the first move. If you meet someone interesting, don't be afraid to ask him for his card -- then call!

Accept every invite. Don't hesitate to attend a wedding alone -- you never know who else will be there or who will be seated next to you.

Follow your passions. You're most likely to meet people you have a lot in common with while doing what you enjoy. So sign up for a bike race or take a class. You'll get more out of these activities than you would out of a night in a bar.
