For the love of God, stop looking at your phone!
You're basically telling any potential love interest: I don't wanna talk to you.
Put out "the vibes".
How does one "put out the vibes?" Simply act like you're available and ready to be swept off your feet, people will pick up on it, trust me.
Ask a cute person for directions.
Instead of looking on Google maps, why not ask the cutie close by for directions? Who knows where it may lead!?
Use eye contact to your advantage.
Eye contact is key when you're dating IRL. All it takes is one second of solid, mutual eye contact and it's GAME ON.
Sign up for a class.
Why not try an acting class or maybe drop into a free meditation workshop? You never know who you'll meet, plus you'll get to learn a cool new skill.
Make it clear to your friends you'd be open to getting set up.
If you keep bringing up the fact that you're single with your friends, you'll be the first person they'll think of when they run into someone cute and available.
Go out alone every now and then.
Going out alone can be scary but it makes it WAY more likely you'll get approached. You could also show up 20 minutes early when meeting a friend and see if you can catch any fish before they get there.
Organize a get together with your friends and tell them to "bring people".
Maybe they'll bring someone cute for you to flirt with!
Have an "open" attitude.
When you're out in public, give off the impression that you're one of those people who are friendly and approachable. Even if the idea of small talk makes you cringe — you're doing it for your future children.
Be social!
You may think you're being social, but you really should be going to at least 2 large group social events per week in order to land a relationship in the next 3 months. Get that social calendar revved up!
Actually GO to the events you're invited to on FB.
You know all those art shows and independent theatre productions you keep getting invited to? Well...grab a friend and actually GO. You never know who you might meet there.
Don't listen to music anymore when you're in public.
How can you expect to have a meet-cute when you're blasting beats?
Be confident!
Just try to remind yourself how awesome you are on a daily basis and you'll be just fine. It all starts with self-love baby!
