In the hectic world we live in, it’s often difficult to balance dating with work and family commitments.

How can we find the time to meet new people, never mind go on a date with them? Also, how can we make sure we’re meeting the right people?

Here’s are seven great ways to find love:

1. Reflect, meditate, or pray.

2. Go to bed on time.

3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.

4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'

Fitting a love life into a packed schedule isn’t easy, but with the right organization it’s more than possible to date without giving anything else up.

Here are some tips to help you keep your life the way you want it while finding your match.

1) Be happy
2) Show up
3) Find new perspectives

4) Follow your heart
