Making the most of opportunities
Many people will tell me that they just don’t meet any decent single people.
The truth is that you are passing 100s of them every single day!
Each time you get on a train, walk down a road or enter a shop you will be crossing paths with a huge amount of eligible singles.
But instead of waiting for them to say hello, most people will avoid eye contact and get on with their daily lives. They’ll say they didn’t get the chance to initiate a conversation.
Don’t wait for an opportunity – create one!
Here are some examples:
1) Bookstore. If you see someone you like, take a look at the section of books they are looking at. Walk up to a shelf near them, pick up an interesting
looking book, study it for a few seconds and ask them if they know much about it. It really doesn’t matter what the book is about as it’s just a conversation starter.
They will automatically assume this “mutual interest” is something you both have in common and will be in rapport with you.
2) Cafe. These are my favourite place to meet new people as you know they aren’t in a hurry to go anywhere. Offer to buy them another drink and if they accept you’ve got an instant date!
3) Shop. Now this is really easy. Pretend that you have to buy a present for someone of the opposite sex – perhaps a brother, sister-in-law of friend. Once you have
located a person you like the look of then go up to them and ask for their opinion on what gift you should get.
4) Fitness Class. If you are male, sign up for a Pilates or Yoga Class as these are usually 90% female. If you are female then try a more male-orientated class like kickboxing or circuit training. Attend classes after work, not during the day as daytime classes are more popular with retired people or students.
5) Anywhere! There’s one thing you should carry round with you at all times – a map! Approach anyone you like and ask for directions. They will subconciously have to respond or they will come across as rude – something us Brits would hate!
Happy Dating!
