Here’s something many people might find hard.

It’s especially useful if you plan to attend one of our Single Solution parties.

If you are at a social event and don’t know many people it can be hard to join a conversation. They all seem to be having a lovely time but you feel like you are on the edge, looking in.

So here are my Dating Guru tips to help make this easier for you.

1) Find a friend. It’s a lot easier to break into a group if you have a wing man/woman with you. So pair up with someone else in the same situation and stick together for a while.

2) Arrive early. it can be tempting to turn up late to a party so you can sneak in as unoticed as possible. However, by that time the other guests will have formed little groups and already bonded. By arriving early you can have a headstart on everyone else and have first choice in talking to new arrivals.

3) Being on your own isn’t a problem. If you find yourself on your own then don’t worry, just take a short while to reflect and enjoy your own company. Go up to the bar and buy a drink and you’ll soon get the chance to meet new people.

4) Smile. This is the single most important thing you can do. If you stand around looking miserable then nobody will want you to talk to them. Look like a warm, friendly person and groups will welcome your positive vibes.

5) Don’t forget that all the Single Solution parties have lots of great hosts to help you. Have a quiet word and say you’d like some help and they’ll do their best to make some useful, discreet introductions.

Good luck!
