Valentine's Day dating tips for single women

If you're a single woman and dateless for Valentine's Day, here are some tips just for you.

Lindsley Lowell is the author of My Knight in Shining Armor is Coming...He's Just Stuck in Traffic. In this book, Lowell tells of her adventures in dating and how she found her knight in shining armor. She writes how single women should never settle for anything less than the best and the importance of not losing hope in your chance for true love.

Lindsley's Advice:

• "Keep the faith - believe in yourself and that you deserve love. Watch movies that inspire you. Don't read negative self-help books.
• Try different avenues - setups through friends. Join new groups - meetups, etc. Online dating - a necessary evil for today's modern woman.
• Have a support system around you.
• Love yourself. You are your biggest relationship.
• Friends are your foundation. Get rid of any friends who are competitive, jealous or untrustworthy. Got a bragging, holier-than-thou married friend? Get rid of her."

Online dating tips:

• BE PATIENT - It can take a while. You probably won't meet him in the first few dates.
• TAKE NO PRISONERS - Don't respond to guys you don't like. Block the bad ones.
• DO NOT MEET THEM FOR A MEAL - You will know in the first five minutes if you like them or not. Don't create a "Last Supper" situation.
• DO NOT GET EXCITED FOR THE DATE - It's a meeting. Not a date.
• DO NOT GET STUCK ON THE SMALL POINTS - Don't nitpick. Clothes can be changed.
• MEN ARE STUPID - They need help. Do your own searches to look for guys.
• CHINESE WATER TORTURE - Do not email for months. If they don't call or want to meet, move on.
• PLAY THE FIELD - Don't get fixated on one guy.
• HAVE A LITTLE FAITH - It's a second job and that takes time and energy and can be grueling at times. Take breaks if you need to.
