There are the obvious ways to land a date -- online services, personal ads, and everyone's favorite...getting fixed up by your mom! But there are a lot more ways to meet your match. Here are some ideas on adding a little spice to your social life.
You never know when or where you might meet someone interesting, so get creative...but most importantly get out there!
- Coffee Crushes Hang out at a coffee shop with a compelling book. A good page-turner will get you noticed and let people know that you're A) intelligent and B) interested in something other than Dr. Phil.
- Puppy Love Hit the dog-park with a can of tennis balls and the ultimate wing-man, an adorable dog. Dogs are irresistible and outgoing -- a natural ice breaker. If you don't have a dog, offer to take a friend's for an outing (it's not cheating unless you pretend the mutt is yours!).
- Musical Duets Browse through a music store. You never know when you might connect with someone who shares common tastes and interests in music. If you see a cute guy or gal perusing your section, simply ask or comment about the band they're checking out and see where the conversation takes you.
- Good Company Group outings -- whether a ballgame, the beach, or a local street festival -- are low-pressure ways to meet new romantic potentials. Start with a small group of friends and have everyone invite a couple people from outside the circle. As the group grows, so does the fun factor, and the chance of a possible date.
- Aisle Affairs Say "I do" to weddings! Not only are they fun, joyous occasions, but they can also be the ideal setting to meet someone special (except not in that cheap Wedding Crashers kind of way). That goes for any social gathering. Accept invitations to events that bring you in touch with people outside your social circle -- birthday celebrations, co-ed showers, holiday soirees, barbeques, and so on.
