As an international dating coach at SaferDating.com, I’d like to share with you my take on the importance of not missing out on an opportunity when it arises because opportunities aren’t really everywhere – please cherish each and every one of them!

  • What kind of opportunities are rare?

Please let me start by sharing an experience that I had.

A few years ago, I was working for a company which is best characterized by having two horrible bosses: my manager and the big boss who was managing everyone.

My manager had been fired by other organizations because she is not sane and has low IQ. I know this sounds terrible, but it’s the well-known truth in that industry. The big boss is similar to my manager in many ways, so they got along well with each other, although the big boss was yelling at my manager every single day. Clearly, my manager didn’t mind the big boss at all.

At that time, due to my life circumstances, I couldn’t leave that company. Because everyone that was able to resign had already resigned, I sent two text messages to two ex-colleagues, asking them if they knew any organization that was hiring (I didn’t have a way to leave that company). Although those two ex-colleagues weren’t able to help me immediately, something unexpected happened almost half a year later:

One day I was working very hard as usual, a guy approached me in my workplace. Based on his self-introduction, I figured out that he is one of my ex-colleague’s husband. Apparently, my ex-colleague told him about me. That’s how he found me.

Are you looking for a job?” he asked me.

No,” I was a bit surprised by his visit. (In fact, one week before his visit, I already had a contract variation in order to stay in that organization while remaining sane – I wasn’t a full-time employee anymore; I became part-time. That’s why I wasn’t looking for a new job.)

I’m the senior manager of XYZ Company,” he said to me, “I’m currently looking for a new employee, and I think you are the right person.”

Obviously, my ex-colleague told him about how hardworking I am. Actually, the other ex-colleague is this guy’s friend, so I already had two referees.

In fact, my family told me not to quit my job and join XYZ Company because they didn’t want me to take a risk, but I explained why I should take this risk and go to XYZ Company: My mental health is very important, so if there is an opportunity that can help me leave the toxic company, I should do that. More importantly, at that point in my life, my circumstances changed already, so I didn’t really have to stay in that toxic environment anymore. What’s more, if I didn’t leave that company in time, nobody will be my referee on my resume in the future because those two horrible bosses hate every staff member that resigned – of course, they wouldn’t be anyone’s referee. Since someone from XYZ Company already wanted me, I should say yes to this opportunity.

That’s why I joined XYZ Company, and within three months, I became the second-in-charge of the state in XYZ Company which is a world-renowned organization.

  • Say yes to the opportunity on the international dating

When you are on an international dating site, you would be well-advised to say yes to every opportunity – online speed dating, video chat, etc. The reason is if you don’t say yes to every opportunity at the beginning, you won’t have options.

After creating options, you’ll choose the right person for you. When you have abundance, you are more confident, so you can see who is the right lady for you and then you build a serious relationship with her.

“International dating sites give you opportunities that are rare in real life because if you are looking for a foreign partner, chances are you have to meet that person online rather than in real life.”
