Ah! Looking for love or someone to talk about your day?
Oh, so you are planning to experience a good time at the singles events. Great! We know that single events or speed dating can be awkward and overwhelming.
Singles events offer amazing opportunities for single individuals or those who are unattached to meet someone new. Fortunately, there are different events for you to choose from, and many charities, associations, dating sites, and social clubs host such gatherings for singles who are looking for a potential mate.
Fret not! This article highlights the three incredible yet easy tips for you to help make a positive rather lasting impression at your next singles event.
Calm your nerves and read on…
Have the Right Attitude
If your objective is to find that ‘special’ person, you are driving in the wrong lane. To find a mate that fits right with you is a 20% luck and 80% numbers game. It’s no different than landing your dream job, and you cannot deny it. Remember, just like getting a job, shooting resumes to land an interview, finding your person requires you to expose yourself to meeting as many people as possible. Doing so will improve your chance of finding Jim to your Pam. Come with the right attitude, be YOU and confident, and make new friends, and maybe you will meet that special someone. If not, you will have some new friends to hang out with.
Body Language Speaks Volumes
In the words of Chris Brown, ‘Your Body Language speaks to me, he wasn’t kidding. If you are thinking ‘who cares what Chris says’- research shows that about 93% of communication is non-verbal, so if you are planning to make a good and lasting impression at the next event, it is time to focus on your nonverbal vocabulary/body language. Smile more, not in a creepy ‘Pennywise’ way, but a sweet smile goes a long way. Secondly, uncrossing those arms makes the other person uncomfortable, as you appear upset or annoyed. Lastly, GET OFF YOUR PHONE! Yes, nobody likes to approach someone who is looking at their phone constantly. Keep these in mind, relax and be confident during the conversation.
Don’t Try Too Hard
Experts often suggest that you should be yourself or focus on the way you are talking. Well, when you attend singles meet events or a speed dating event, avoid trying too hard. When you try to ‘be yourself’- it just makes you focus on every little thing you do, which inevitably makes you extremely self-conscious, which can be nerve-wracking. You don’t want to be self-conscious, nervous, and sweaty, right? It is advised to do the contrary, take the focus off yourself and try to have fun, and remember, a good vibe always helps. Try games and conversations that are designed to help you break the ice and discover the right chemistry.
Uff! That was easy, right?
Most of these single events have a theme or games to help unattached individuals interact and find the right mate.
