Nowadays, dating is more competitive than it’s ever been — download this free report to learn 6 proven skills to stand apart & succeed in the modern dating world.

I’m going to ask you something today. What makes you happy?

What are the things that really, truly make you happy? I’d like you to please post it down below. Share it with me. I’d love to read your comments. So many of these blogs we write are always about fixing, helping your dating life, and helping you find love. So many things we write about are to help you improve your life in general. But I want to know what makes you happy. I’d like to get to know you a little bit.

I’ll start. I’m going to share with you. I like shopping. Shopping makes me happy. I go through periods where I like to buy new things and try new things on. I don’t know why, but I enjoy it. I’ve got a very cool watch collection. It makes me happy to look at watches. I like to wear watches from all different eras. To collect things from different periods in history.

If I don’t want a watch anymore, I can usually sell it for what I paid for it. That’s the beauty of it. I like to have different styles of watches from different eras. They’re fun for me. It makes me feel good to put them on for different moods, different days, different emotions. I also like to collect leather jackets. Leather jackets make me feel happy. I like to wear them. I like the way they feel on my body, and I like the different eras they’re from.

I love to travel and stay in nice hotels. I love seeing my friends for dinner. I like the good things in life. I like the things that make me happy. What makes you happy? What do you like to do? On an average day, what makes you really happy? What makes you happy on the weekend? What would be your perfect weekend?

What are some of your pastimes, your hobbies? I want to know. I’d like to get to know you just a little bit better. So, please take a minute and tell me about you, down below. I’ll be reading all the comments. I’ll be taking a look at what you write, and I’ll be learning a little bit more about you. About your personal life, your routine, whatever it is. Whatever you feel like sharing. I’m going to read it. I’m going to appreciate it, and I’m going to enjoy getting to know you better.

Hearing from you, David - that makes me happy, and I read every one of your email messages and blogs. I trust the veracity of what you have to share, about men, about life in general. I especially like reading about your thoughts when you share things regarding your personal life, as you did in this blog, "What Makes You Happy." So, besides hearing from you, what makes me happy is the feeling I get when I'm physically close to someone I love, especially a man that turns me on. That's why I put up with his neglect, just so I can experience that amazing feeling of happiness when I'm with you. Unfortunately, much of the time I'm resigned to imagining that feeling - trouble is, it enters my mind and my heart all the time!! You would say, that I'm wasting my time and that maybe I deserve more. The thing is, you cannot manufacture a feeling of happiness - it just happens - and once it does, it's unimaginable, the idea that the feeling can be replaced. No two feelings of happiness are the same. So not I'm back to telling you that I have been listening and reading and contemplating what you write in your emails. Is there hope for me to find happiness, David? Thank you for reaching out to us - telling it like it is, but with your kind understanding, as you always convey so convincingly. Evelyn

What makes me happy? When I reach the causeway on my commute home in the evenings-I know I'm home. My crazy little dog greeting me. A glass of wine on the back patio while talking to my oldest son how our days played out. Surveying our little vegetable garden and picking something for the table. Escaping for the day or weekend with my guy. Nola is a favorite. A walk along the pier or slipping my kayak into the water. A good sweat while I turn planting beds. Spying strangers delight in the gardens I create. The shifting of gears as my rebellious youngest son finally pulls his car in the drive always after curfew:) lots to be happy for.

You have such an interesting "dating" blog which is why I return to it again and again because it's more than just a dating blog. It's also a "life" blog. I haven't been reading it very long but I thought that you would have mentioned the non-materialistic things that clearly seem to give you happiness: your daughter, your dog, and the ocean ….all of which you seem to love so much. That you also love time pieces indicates that you're a time traveler at heart. After caring for my mother for such a long time and experiencing so much loss in a year, no longer does the thing-i-ness of life give me joy. I've had too much loss to be enamored by things. I'm surrounded by things, and yet, I don’t care if I have them or not. I'm constantly wrestling with the questions: Do I keep this or that as a memory? Do I need it? And do I really want it? A concussion sustained on Thanksgiving Day 2012 with ongoing symptoms has also made me appreciate life differently. I have had to do things differently and live differently. I realize that it's the feelings and experiences of life that give me joy. That's what's important, not things. I am happiest when I take joy in the moment. Ordinary pleasures. The freeing sensation of wearing shorts in the summer. Donning a coat and scarf for embracing the brisk chill in winter. Sipping a hot drink. Hugging my cats. Visiting the veterinary clinic with my menagerie which is like a second home to me. Capturing sunsets. Viewing skyscapes in an ocean of heavenliness. Gardening when I'm not time crunched. There's such joy in nature! Physical movement. Long walks. A leisurely run. Stimulating conversation. The high of getting to know someone. The ease of friendship with those known long. Visiting museums, especially art museums. I so love 18th-19th century art! Attending an inspiring lecture or a book signing. Reading a good romance or a cozy mystery. Writing, especially poetry uplifts my spirit! Restoring something broken or neglected (i.e. a vintage item or piece of clothing) so that others will want it is both a challenge and a wonderful feeling! There's probably so much more that gives me joy which in time, I'll reawaken or find…. So thank you, David, for giving me the gift of joyful thoughts!

I love being in nature, breathing fresh air, watching the sunset and taking it all in... I love going to live music venues and swaying to the beat... I love hanging out with my friends and all of our inside jokes. .) I love wearing boots because they make me feel sexy & badass!

In any ordinary day, savouring a good cup of coffee makes me happy. Meeting my friends for lunch or dinner and just talk nonesense. Find a cozy sofa and spend hours reading. i feel really happy when moving (might be the endorphines). I love to dance and can't stand still whenever music is playing. However I feel the most alive when I'm playing basketball, just focused on the game. I think you've written a post before David, about being present or in the zone. That's how it feels when playing.
