The Single Solution is 9 years old!

Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate at our big party on Saturday

We pushed out all the stops for this one, spending all the profits on making it special.

We had a large crowd who enjoyed the complimentary wine and the canapes/buffet.  We’ve already had lots of great comments and feedback about the event and by all accounts it was one of our most popular events ever.

The highlight of the night was of course Lady G – our amazing Lady Gaga tribute act.  She kept the guests well and truly entertained with her uncanny vocal abilities, along with her sexy dancers.  We had decided to get them in as a special treat for our guests and to try something a bit different.  By all accounts this worked wonderfully.

We’d like to thank everyone for their support over the last 9 years.

We’ll be making sure our 10th birthday is even bigger and better, so make sure you don’t miss that one.

Best Wishes,
James and Paul

Our big birthday party is next month

So to celebrate we’ve lined up our best ever party!

Singlesolution.com was first launched in 2002 and we’ve been going from strength to strength ever since.

We like to use this annual event as a way of thanking our loyal members so we spend all profits on making sure it’s out most amazing party ever.

The trouble was, how do we top last year?

We sat and though about what would make our ideal partner, then acted on it.  So this year we are pulling out all the stops and going further than we’ve ever gone before.

The highlight of the event will be the UK’s best Lady Gaga tribute – “Lady G”      She’ll be appearing live on stage with her two backup dancers, singing all your favourite Lady Gaga songs.  This promises to be an amazing all singing, all dancing show that will rock your socks off.

As well as this, we’ll have a drink for you on arrival,  some delicious canapes and other special surprises.

We’re asking everyone to dress up for the party to mark the sense of occasion.

We STRONGLY suggest that you don’t hesitate it booking this party as we know it will sell out quickly.  So please, round up your single friends and book now. We’d love to celebrate this special birthday with you.

Best Wishes,

James and Paul

I often write about being more positive in your dating profile.

But how can you make this easier for yourself?

The power of self-talk is amazing.  If you tell yourself you can do something or tell yourself you can’t, then you are always going to be right.  So the secret is to only tell yourself positive things that will change things for the better.

To help, here are some of my favourite positive phrases.  If you want to feel happier, spend a few minutes each day saying them over and over to yourself.  The more you tell yourself these things then the more likely your brain will make them stick and adjust accordingly:

“The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.”

“I choose to be kind to myself.”

“A dream written down with a date becomes a GOAL. A goal broken down into steps becomes a PLAN. A plan backed by ACTION makes your dream come true.”

“It’s better to invest time doing what pleases you, rather than to waste time trying to please everyone else.”

“Every advance in human life begins with an idea in the mind of a single person.”

“I am open to new possibilities.”

“Every great leap forward in life is preceded by a clear decision and a commitment to action.”

“I can figure it out”.

“It is possible, if I am willing to put in the time and effort”

“I make choices and decisions based
on my goals and dreams.”

You could even try to include some similar phrases in to your online dating profile.  They’ll make you come across as a happy, positive person so you’ll automatically get more interest.

Good luck!

Are you thinking of giving up on dating?

Are you getting frustrated at your lack of dating success?

Dating can sometimes be tough and seem like a waste of time if you aren’t getting want you want out of it.

Here’s my advice to you: Don’t throw in the towel yet!

Sometimes it might take 10 or 40 dates before you meet Mr or Miss Right, or it might be very next person you go out with. But what if they were number 31 and you gave up at 30? You’d never know how close you might have come to meeting your dream partner.

Here’a an interesting comparison that I’ve been thinking about recently. Thomas Edison tried a 1000 ways to get a light bulb to work and all of them failed. Some didn’t work. Some just flashed and dies and some only lasted a few minutes. He made notes on every case. Eventually, he got one to work long enough that it would make sense to make it for sale to the public..

He didn’t see this as a thousand failures, but as a way of getting closer to the result he wanted. His famous quote is:

“We now know a thousand ways not to build a light bulb.”

There’s a definite lesson to be learned here – for every date that doesn’t work out you are one step closer to the one that will!

Once you are in the right frame of mind for dating and take steps to get what you want then it WILL happen.

Just think what would have happened if Edison hadn’t invented the light bulb. We’d be sitting here in the dark.

So don’t give up just yet. Put some effort into putting an effective plan together, attend some dating events and take full advantage of our online dating site. The love of your life might just be a click away.

Good luck,

What do your voice reveal about you?

Are you jeopardizing your chances?
I’ve written before  about about how you need to make a great first impression and stand out from crowd. But no matter how hard you try, you could be messing everything up just by saying a few words. If you speak too quickly, too quietly or come across as wimpy then you won’t get past a phone date, yet alone a face to face meeting.

Your voice is an incredibly valuable asset when it comes to dating, so make sure you know how to use it.

The trouble is that the voice you hear and the voice everyone else hears are completely different. This is due to the way your skull makes it resonate. So if you’ve never done so, speak into a microphone and record yourself for a while. It might be a bit of a surprise and a weird experience, but with a bit of practice you can learn what sounds good and what doesn’t.

Who in the public eye do you think has a good voice? Have a listen to them and copy the way they speak. A great voice is one that is slow and clear. Above all it’s never dull so learn to energise and lift your voice so it sounds dynamic.

Remember, the more you practice then the better you’ll get

Good luck!

If you want to get noticed you need to be different.

But  does your photo help you stand out for the right reasons?

We always tell you how important having a good photo is when it comes to online dating. But there are still many people who think they know best.

We’ve seen all sorts of weird and wonderful photographs over the years and as the dating experts we knew what works and what doesn’t. Your photos is your calling card and advert that you use to market yourself. If you get it wrong it can be doing you more harm than good.

Please follow our guidelines – no sunglasses, cars, hidden faces. We also don’t allow group shots. Online dating is all about you, so don’t draw attention to anyone else.

Some people like to show themselves with a drink in hand, to give the impression they are a fun, party person. However, this can be interpreted as you having a drinking problem. Not a great asset on a dating site.

THE most important thing is to remember to smile. If you look moody or aren’t looking at the camera then you won’t connect with the viewer. If you look like a happy, positive person then you’ll get much more interest.
Of course, if you don’t event have a photograph then you are wasting your time anyway. If you don’t put one on then nobody will find or contact you, yet alone reply to your emails, Instead they’ll just think you have something to hide.

So go and add some great photos now…just remember what they might be saying about you.

Good luck!

Buy One Get One Free During July

As a thank you to our regulars and an incentive to bring in new friends, we have a very special ” Buy One get One free” offer on tickets throughout July.
This offer is for you to bring in new people so at least one of you must be a first timer. If you are a male/female pair then it is valid for all members.

How Do I Get the Offer?
To get this great deal, you both need to be registered on our site and have Nicknames. Buy one ticket as normal, then email us at info@singlesolution.com with the second Nickname.

Terms: Offer only valid on all event tickets purchased before the end of July, subject to availability so not valid if there is a waiting list for the event. Offer is only valid for SingleSolution party events and not for third party events. At least one guest must be a first timer to our events or you are booking in male and female pairs.

Believe it or not, but we are already over halfway into the year.

Have you achieved everything you planned?

We all start the year with big dreams and ambitions. We set ourselves goals – perhaps to find a partner or get more dates.

However, life gets in the way and you get distracted with other things.  Before you know it time has ticked by and you’re still on  your own.  So do you give up, get frustrated and accept the fact you’ll never meet someone? Do you start to think that nothing will ever happen so you stop trying?

Of course not! It’s never too late.

Yesterday has gone but your life starts now.   The first step is to take action and do something to realise your dreams.  Many people wait for things to happen to them rather than going out of their way to make their own luck.  They’ll make excuses as to why they aren’t getting dates rather than take responsibility themselves. Perhaps they are just too busy, too fussy or they’ll magically meet Mr or Ms Right.

The truth is that you need to help fate along a little. If you want to meet someone new, you really can make it happen quickly as soon as you make the choice to do something about it.

Do everything you can to make opportunities for yourself that might be the catalyst to meeting new people.  Accept every invitation and get yourself well and truly out there. Announce to the world that you are a single and ready to meet someone.

If this sounds like you, we want to help.  Why not attend some of our fantastic singles parties or use our online dating site?  There are 1000s of people just like you who could be your ideal match.

Good luck!
