1. Get complete with your past to break relationship patterns.

When you no longer carry "baggage" about your past relationships and your childhood, you are emotionally free to be in your ideal relationship. When you're emotionally free, you are better able to:

* recognize partners who are incompatible with you before you get involved; * naturally attract more suitable partners; * stop trying to resolve issues from old relationships in your current one; * transform all of your relationships to be clear and satisfying.

If you're ready to get complete with your past, take my free PatternTracker Quiz at http://www.whatittakes.com/Quiz2/patterntracker.html. The quiz will help you identify and understand your patterns, making it less likely that you'll repeat them in future.

2. Ask for what you want in any relationship.

It is a myth that people should know what you want. When you are able to ask for what you want, you become easier to be with, easier to delight, and therefore much more attractive. People see you as clear and straight-forward.

To learn how to ask for want you want in your relationships, read my article, "Ask Right and You May Receive," http://www.whatittakes.com/Archive/Newsletter40to49/newsletter__42.shtml.

3. The more you want a relationship, have a laundry list, a timetable for when it should occur, less likely you are to have it.

The only way to attract a fulfilling relationship is to have a fulfilling life. You get to have a fulfilling life with or without a partner, while becoming naturally attractive. When you are attractive in this way, you no longer need to look for your ideal partner - you will automatically attract him or her.

DO:

(1) Prepare by having a notepad, a few pens and a disposable camera in glovebox. Print out this article and store it to help you remember what to do.

Sketch accident scene, noting all cars involved, roadways, direction of travel, skid marks, and anything else to help your case. Write a description of what happened. Note any contributing factors like wet roads, or blocked signs that couldn't be seen. Date, time and sign your notes. Photograph scene.

(2) Beware of accident scams. Some thieves will pretend to have an accident by bumping rear of your car on an empty road. When you get out of car to investigate, they rob you or steal your car. Drive to a populated place or police station before getting out of your car if things seem suspect.

(3) Copy down driver's license numbers and vehicle owner's registration. Remember that owner (i.e. insured) might not be driver. Find out insurance company name, passenger's names, and work and home telephone number of driver.

(4) Record license plates and VIN's (vehicle identification numbers) from other cars. The VIN is located on driver's side of dashboard and can be seen through windshield. This will you later on help if driver happens to have stolen plates and a bogus registration card.
