I have a some gorgeous single lady friends who tell me online dating isn’t working for them. How can they meet someone?
Just read an interesting article in the WSJ about how to have a better love life in 2016. In it they give some helpful alternative tips for meeting someone and I am sharing them here:
1. Put your mouse down and go outside. Step away from the computer and be out among the people. You are likely to meet like-minded people in places you already go: gym, church, grocery store. But you have to look up from your phone and be approachable. Make eye contact.
- Pull together how you look before you leave the house. No baggy sweats or yucky baseball hats. Remember people are looking at you while you are looking at them.
- Get some hobbies. Participate in things you enjoy in the community. And do some of these things by yourself-you are easier to approach when not in a group.
- Tell your friends and family that you are looking. This worked for me when I met my husband.
- Volunteer. But don’t sit in the corner stuffing envelopes. Interact with people. That is the only way people will get to know you. Again, this is how I met my husband – through a friend I met when volunteering.
These may sound simple and you think you have tried them all. Think about it again. Have you really put yourself out there? A coach friend reminded me just yesterday that if you want to connect with people you have to “see the people, see the people, see the people.”
