Happy New Year! Everyone is excited about the New Year. And one thing on the mind of most singles is meeting and connecting with their potential mate.
Many singles are tired of going out because they run into the same people which makes the pickings very slim. However, it’s a new year and its time for a fresh start. The best way to find a fresh pool of potential candidates is by fishing in a different pond.
Here are 6 ways to meet a new group of singles:
Get out
Get out from behind your computer. Get out of your house. Get out of your car. Put down your phone and connect with real people. Meeting people online is great but while you are Facetiming someone in Singapore, there are a lot of real live potential candidates in your city.
Change your mindset
View people you meet as a connection and not necessarily “the one”. The person you meet today might be a connection to someone you would like to meet. When you meet people relax and enjoy yourself.
If you want something different you have to do something different.
While you are being your wonderful charming self, the people you are interacting with might say, “You would be perfect for my friend”. If by chance you and the friend don’t hit it off, you have one more ally. Take the pressure off. Relax. Enjoy yourself and allow the beautiful person you are to shine through.
Change your mindset from “I’ve got to meet the one” to “I am going to have a good time.” You will see a difference in who you attract and your emotional well-being.
Switch up your go to spot
Don’t go to the normal single hangouts, instead visit unlikely places. For instance, go to the museum, visit tourist spots, etc. You never know what local resident might be taking his or her friends on the tour of the city.
Start a singles club
Connect with old friends, co-workers, colleagues ask if they know of singles who are interested in connecting with other singles. Have your friends do the same. Host a mix and mingle for everyone to meet. You might meet a potential mate and possibly make a new friend.
Date more
Mr. Right does not exist. Stop instantly saying no when someone with “potential” ask you out on a date. You never know you might have a good time. And if you don’t connect he or she might have a friend to introduce you to. Trust me, it happens.
Get active
Volunteer for a political campaign or non-profit. Join a professional organizations for your industry. This is a great way to meet other like-minded individuals.
The following are just suggestions, but I think that you get the idea. If you want something different you have to do something different.
This year take the pressure off of meeting “the one” and choose to enjoy the journey. Start 2016 on a mission to live your life to the fullest and to have fun along the way. With an open mind and a clean slate, you might be surprised who you meet.
