Using Parties Or Special Occasions To Meet Mr Right
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012A banging party might be the perfect meeting place. Your hosts might already be in celebratory mode — Yuletide, birthday, house warming or whatever the occasion might be. There are likely to be at least 1 or 2 fellow partygoers that you already know and there are bound to be 1 or 2 single men too. You can pamper yourself before going, dress up big time and look your very best. There’s regularly a connection between the fellow who seems like he might be cool to chat to and the host or hostess, and if you know them sufficiently well it is always possible to quietly check out who he is , what he does for a living and whether he’s available for further inquiry. Trouble is, unless you move artfully and at once, tasty unattached men can get monopolized by other single girls very fast.
All of a sudden the party’s drawing to a close and the nearest you have got to speaking to anyone remotely single was your best friend’s younger bro who, after two beers, admitted to having a childhood crush on you. So what to do … ?
Try not to get to a party too early — you’ll be worse for wear by the point almost all of the other callers arrive and there’s an air of despair at turning up at 8 o’clock on the dot. Then again, don’t wait until the trendy bar chucking out time to arrive — it may be too late to snap up the neatest deals! 9 to 9.30 pm. Is usually about right.
Work the room, talking to those guests that you do know, keeping one eye open for tasty fellows along the way. Try to not get stuck with the loser from accounts or the old buddy that wants to catch up with the last couple of months in point by point detail. Excusing yourself to the toilet remains the best way of extricating yourself from that kind of situation and wasting potential man—hunting time.
Talk with a spread of folks, men and women, as networking can lead to all kinds of further possibilities.
If you see somebody that you like, check out his ring finger. Not a guaranteed technique of dumping the attached men naturally, but it certainly helps.
The most simple system of approaching a fellow who looks engaging is simply to ask him his connection to the party. ‘So how do you know Sam/Bryony? Anything starting with ‘My better half/girlfriend’ or even ‘We ‘ is maybe a blind alley.
Once you’re talking to someone who has taken your fancy, attempt to relax and enjoy. Pose questions, be a good listener and check out whether there’s any eye contact. And if he excuses himself to go to the toilet and doesn’t return within a few minutes, or goes off to get another drink without offering you a refill, take his exit in good grace. Maybe this time the attraction was not mutual; perhaps next time you could have more dating success.
