f we recreate the factors of how people met in
previous generations, we find there are two
major points.
• Since people most often met by introduction
from families or close friends, it meant they
possessed certain commonalities.
• If they met people in their neighborhood or
at work, it meant they shared both
commonality and close proximity.
The two factors, commonality and proximity,
work together to provide the perfect formula
for meeting the right person.
Using the commonality factor, let’s create a list of where these
people might be:
• In your friend circle, or even your friends’ friend circle.
• The Gym
• Any hobby or activity
• Any religious institution
• University or educational institution
• Your neighborhood
• Work
What do you think? Where would you find someone you have
things in common with?

Exercise One:
Make a list of where you have seen people that you find
attractive.
