When is the last time you saw someone you've never met before and you were so taken back by their physical attractiveness that you felt your heart start to race, your temperature change, breathing increase, and were left speechless? Well, don't feel bad because that's a good sign. Remember how it felt because that feeling is every cell in your body screaming at you to take a chance and introduce yourself.
Now, let's take this a bit further, when is the last time that reaction happened while swiping through your favorite dating app? Yeah, it doesn't! Many people turn to dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble in hopes of finding true love but any swiper knows that it's easier said than done. Dating apps lack personal connection and emotional response that is more readily recognized in real-life encounters. While dating apps should be recognized as an option don't forget to seize the moment that appears before you . Here are a few tips to seal the deal on your next cold approach.
You never really know when that next special someone will appear before you so that means put some effort into looking sharp during the daily routine.
Being active is important and also a great way to enjoy time while meeting new people. No matter what your favorite activity is consider getting involved. This could be anything from a gym membership to volunteering for your favorite organization.
Some of the latest trends in dating suggest that your more likely to meet someone special while grocery shopping or grabbing a cup of coffee. If the bar scene is your choice try the early happy hour starting around 3 pm when business professionals are out for drinks and appetizers.
While some ice breakers go better than others, consider just putting yourself in front of the person and introducing yourself. Since you are both at the same location you already have something in common. Skip the pickup artist tactics and give the person a compliment, ask a question and suggest meeting for a cup of coffee or drink sometime. Keep it short, keep it sweet, and always smile.
If a more passive approach is your style consider buying a $5.00 gift card at your local coffee shop and if you see someone in there who peaks your interest give him and her the card with your number inside. Suggest meeting for coffee some time and wish them a good day.
Remember no matter how good your approach many people may already be involved in a relationship or just out of one. Rejection is part of life but the rewards can be well worth your efforts. Keep in mind that the worst outcome to any cold approach is flattering another person. Pretty cool, right!
