“Men want Martha Stewart in the kitchen, Mary Poppins in the nursery, and Madonna in the bedroom,” said Stanger.

It’s those three valuable “M’s” Stanger suggests all women embrace. However, your match-making map begins with taking care of yourself, so add the gym to your every-day regimen.

“When your endorphins are flowing, you’re happy. A happy girl gets a happy guy. A healthy girl gets a healthy guy.”

Now that you’re happy and healthy, become your own matchmaker. For starters, Stanger suggests working the “non-verbal flirt.”

“Smile and toss your hair. If the guy’s interested, he’ll come over to you. Real men will buy you a drink, offer you food; offer you comfort.”

And you’ll want to signal that non-verbal flirt (go figure), at a place where men frequent. Stanger says consider learning to love the game--a sports game, that is. That’s where you’re bound to have your pick of potentials.

“90% of it is shifting your energy so you’re at the right place in the right time to meet the right person.”

Ok, so let’s say you’ve manifested positive energy and are convinced you’ve finally met Mr. Right. Once you make it past the initial meeting, Stanger says hold off for 90 days, following her #1 rule, no sex before monogamy. By the time you hit that mark, congratulations-- you’re officially three-quarters away from getting popped the big question.

“Avoid T.M.I.; too much information will kill the catch. Stop talking about the past; he is not your therapist. Keep a little mystery about you.”

But as things progress, open up.

As you get to know one another, Stanger says serious discussions should unfold naturally; unforced with minimal pressure. Between 6-9 months, the “Millionaire Matchmaker” recommends what she calls “encouraging engagement.”

“He should tell you he loves you by then and you should talk about your future.”

Yep, you’ll be sealing goodnight kisses with the words, “I love you,” and talking about your life together.

“If you’re over 28, you shouldn’t give a guy more than a year. Know where you’re going and discuss a 5-year plan.”

Dial up the dialogue and discuss what Stanger calls her “5 Non-Negotiable” and “10 must-haves.”

A non-negotiable, for example, is if only one of you really wants kids; most likely, that equals a deal-breaker. On the flip side, create must-haves; things that will fulfill your romantic hopes and dreams.

So why that one-year mark?

Stanger says if you give your man more than 12 months, you’ve stepped into the “take for granted zone.”

“Consider yourself a doormat.”

But of course, this Valentine’s Day-inspired article will conclude with a happily-ever-after.

If all goes as planned, you’ll get that much anticipated proposal, followed by a picture-perfect wedding, and finally, a fairy-tale ending.

Keep in mind, however, marital bliss takes T.L.C.

“Passion is key that will drive a man to do anything for you.”
