56 - The MOST Common Dating Question
The most common questions people ask when wanting to date is how do I meet people.
I certainly wondered about this when I was single. Most of my friends were married and by the time I was in my 30s, I really didn’t want to hang out in a bar. So how do you meet people?
I have some ideas. As with much of what I recommend, it involves strategies and you’ll need to actually do it.
Familiarity
Familiarity sparks friendships and relationships, find activities you would like to regularly participate in. The more others see you on a frequent basis, the more they get to know you.This will increase the probability of meeting people you get to know over time and allow relationships to grow.
Take a new look at the places and activities you’re already involved in. Are there people in those places that can be of potential dating interest?
Try New Places
The key is to balance familiar, regular places you go to with trying new places and events to meet people.
Get outside of your comfort zone. Try new places, events, and activities.
You never know what will come of it.
Online Dating
Online dating is not for everyone, but can be a great way to meet people.
Do what feels right for you.
Always make safe decisions in getting to know someone and before you meet them in person.
If you decide to try online dating, what are 1 - 3 sites you can look into and possibly join.
It may be good to stay with a site at last three months before switching.
Putting thought, time, and energy into these details to reflect who you are will likely increase the chances for success.
