What are you doing this Saturday night? If you want to meet a
man, you have to leave the house. You must get out among the
living. Prince Charming is not going to climb through your
window to watch SNL with you.
Grab a friend and head to your nearest coffee house. Most
feature live music on weekends. Hang out. If you don’t have a
friend, go anyway. Order a cup of coffee in a to-go cup and then
stick around.
If there’s a seat at an empty table, take it. As the place fills
up, somebody will probably ask you if they can drag off the
other chair. Smile and say, “Sure.” If anyone asks what you’re
doing out alone, just say you popped in for a quick cup of
coffee but the music was so captivating you decided to stay.
Look approachable.
Pull your shoulders back. Relax your jaw. Keep your eyes on the
band. The great thing about getting out by yourself is that men
are more likely to be comfortable talking to you. Face it;
they’re human, too, and the idea of walking up to a woman
surrounded by a pack of friends is intimidating.
If you find the idea of hanging out by yourself utterly
appalling, take the pressure off by heading to your nearest
bookstore café. Nothing weird about going to a bookstore on your
own, is there? Dress attractively, and you’ll look cute and
smart. Besides, that book in your hand just may prompt a
fetching guy to start a conversation.
Sure, it is a bit scary to put yourself in new and uncomfortable
situations, but getting out of the house is the ticket to
meeting new men and getting dates.
Meeting new men is the ticket to meeting (and getting married
to) a man who will make you happy for the rest of your life.
