How to Find the Right One and Make it Last! - Bring Love and Romance Back to Dating
We all want that special someone in our lives. But isn't it odd that one of life's most important lessons tends to receive the least amount of focus. It's no wonder why we have so little success attracting the love, passion, romance and fun that we all need and desire.
The problem for many busy and successful people is that they do not know where to find and meet the right partners, how to approach dating, or what it takes to build and sustain a healthy, loving relationship. To address these issues, I have taken a unique approach and have written this book about real people, like you, who struggle with finding love and the right companionship. Many who have used my techniques have been able to find happy rewarding relationships.
This book provides real world experiences and proven dating strategies and techniques. It's a guide that can be used to change your life and bring you the romance and love you've always wanted.

About the author
Charles A. Johnson
2 booksAfter more than 20 years in the military and 16 in a corporate environment, Charles Johnson found another calling in life. In both the Air Force as well the many companies he founded or worked in, Charles managed and mentored diverse teams across Europe, Asia and North America. But he wasn’t your typical corporate manager.
Charles always focused more on the whole person and how to help those who worked with and around him find balance and achieve both personal and professional success. He found that he was helping people not only get well-deserved promotions or the financial recognition for their work, but he also helped them identify and realize what makes them happy.
Helping others create a life and a lifestyle where their happiness is a priority and life balance is the primary goal became Charles’ new life work. He became a certified life coach and author and has dedicated himself to helping single people find and select the right life and marriage partners and make it last.
Surrounded by three sisters and eight female cousins, Charles had a significant female influence growing up. With the knowledge he gleaned from that experience, he spent the last 25 years coaching and mentoring hundreds of single professionals and up-and-coming, career-minded men and women -- including his own four daughters. He found himself providing guidance to help these otherwise successful individuals improve their personal confidence by updating their image, polishing their social skills and providing insight into the art of establishing and maintaining relationships.
Charles has connected and helped hundreds of couples find marriage or committed partners and coaches them on how to make relationships last. He has been married for more than 33 years and three of his four daughters are now married.
Charles has found happiness and balance in his own life as well, pursuing his passions as an avid traveler, photography enthusiast, art collector and a supporter of various charitable causes. He enjoys basketball, football and tennis. His greatest passion is writing about hope and how people can achieve their dreams and still have a balanced and complete life.

Now how did you find your 'right one' or are you still looking? Is this something you think about when bringing up your kiddos? Just how do you teach that thinking? Is there a way to help learn what to do as well as what not to do? Nicole of Tribute Books invited me on a tour of Charles Johnson's book How to Find the Right One & Make it Last. Ahhhh! I should have had this book years ago. At the same time I seem to have found the right one for each stage of my life and do not regret the partners I have been with. One was perfect so I could finish growing up in safety. I can never thank him enough for that. The second gave me and helped raise an amazing daughter. What could be more perfect. And now my third (and last) is my best friend, partner, lover, buddy and best of all support system. I never parted with my past partners in hate and stayed friends with them til they were no longer. Princess Emma's dad is my ex-hubby (#2) and I see him still almost every week.
It may sound confusing but what I know now is that our family is who we make it. That being happy is something you have to focus on. And we can always grow from any situation good or bad. Now that I have rambled enough let's read a lil more of Charles Johnson and how we can find the right one and best of make it last!
For the millions of singles around the world who have struggled to find the right one or to maintain a lasting relationship, my book, “How to Find the Right One & Make it Last” provides a tutorial on the lost art of dating. “How to Find the Right One and Make it Last: Bring Love and Romance Back to Dating” offers practical advice for both men and women about how to initiate interaction as well as how to respond in various dating situations. In addition to the book, I created a website, http://www.AskCharlesJohnson.com, where my readers can have easy access to relationship advice and personal coaching at any time. I have been officially and unofficially helping clients and colleagues find personal success. Over the years, I have developed a proven set of principles and concepts that have helped singles looking for love not only find their ideal life partner, but also to keep the relationship fresh and thriving. Over the years, I have watched my colleagues work incredibly hard to achieve professional success, but often struggle to find that same level of success in their personal lives. By applying the same discipline from their professional development to fine-tuning their dating skills, these colleagues transformed their lives and found the personal fulfillment that had previously been so elusive. My book provides step-by-step guidance starting with how an individual can make small changes in their personal style and appearance or to their daily routine to improve the odds of finding their ideal partner. I walk readers through the first call, planning the perfect date, and what to say and do on the date. Everything first starts with a clear idea of what each individual is looking for – as well as what they’re not – to provide a guide along the way. The principles don’t stop once a match has been made. The book provides advice for nurturing relationships for the long run. By walking readers through the seven phases of relationships, I explain how and why they change over time and how to keep them growing strong. --Charles Johnson

Love is always hard to come by. Most especially when you're trying to find that special someone. Often-times, we think we've found THE ONE and it turns out that we're mistaken in more ways than one. There's something about that person that draws you in off the bat. Something that makes you want to be with him or her for the rest of your life. For awhile, things are golden. You're both living the high life and loving what you've got going between the two of you. Yet when troubled times occur, you soon realize that things really aren't what you thought they'd be and you end up parting ways.
Most of us, when this sort of thing happens, tend to swear off of trying to find someone else in which to try to be happy with. Deep inside, we fear that things will never be the same. That perhaps someone new will never give us what the person we were once with gave us before. This, in turn, makes the task of dating seem so daunting.
In Charles A. Johnson's book, How to Find the Right One & Make It Last!: Bring Love and Romance Back to Dating, he simplifies everything you'd like to know about love, romance, and dating in a clear concise way that will allow you to make better sense of what you might be missing out on or doing wrong when it comes to the dating game. Often-times, we assume we're doing things correctly, when, in fact, it's not that way at all.
In this unique guide, he shows us the do's and dont's when comes to dating someone new as well as how to improve your love life if you're already with that special someone. He simplifies things to the point where anyone can understand the elements of romance and dating that can later lead to finding someone in which to spend the rest of your life with. From that first date, to poise and etiquette, dressing properly for each occasion, to the moment when you really begin in trying to get to know the person you're now dating, you'll be able to glean a better understanding of what love and the dating game is all about. This book is definitely worth picking up even if you're already with that someone special within your own life as it'll allow you to better improve your love life.
