All you ever wanted to know about dating!!!
* How can I meet someone?
* How will I know if they are right for me?
* Where should I go to meet people to date?
These questions are the top three questions I get asked every day and so I have decided to give you the answers, right here on my website…
I hope that someday soon I will be sharing my insights with you personally and giving you the knowledge and self-belief to move forward.
Firstly;
How can I meet someone?
How do you want to meet someone? Have you truly thought about what works for you and what has worked in the past? Have you connected well over the Internet or found it better socialising face to face? Only YOU know the answer, and there ARE lots of singles forums to MEET people, so no more excuses please, get on line or scroll down for my suggestions!
Imagine you are in a bar and the man/ woman of your dreams walks in (I did say imagine). How would you like him or her to notice you?
a) By you sitting in the corner with your arms folded.
b) Standing by the bar with a drink in your hand, smiling and open to chatting to whoever looks friendly.
c) On the dance floor having fun
Do remember that you are 50% responsible in catching someone’s eye, so don’t let an opportunity slide by. Always be receptive and warm, allow space for the person to come and approach you or even better, go and approach them.
How will I know if they are right for me?
This takes practice so go easy on yourself, in truth do you REALLY need to know straight away!!
Seriously though, how do you feel when you are with this person? Are you smiling or shrinking into yourself? Are you having fun or waiting for him or her to move on? Do you feel a connection? Do you feel understood and heard? These are just some of the questions to be asking yourself.
Where should I go to meet someone I want to date?
Singles events/ dinners
Dinner dates, speed dating
Walking groups, book club…
Internet sites
Take up ceroc, salsa dancing, 5 rhythms dance etc…
Bars, pubs, friends of friends….
I set you a challenge for the coming week, make two social arrangements where you are going to meet new people. Make sure you go and take it for what it is, a fun night out, who knows whom you many meet!
Please let me know all the success stories!!!
Warm Wishes
