How to Snag a Date in 28 Days

A month’s worth of tips to help you find that special someone!

The news year is here! And if you happen to find yourself single, it can be less than joyful. With such an emphasis on togetherness, we are bombarded with the message that if we aren’t living the dream, then we’ve lost the game. So this year, take the reindeer by the antlers and do something about it! To start you off, you can use this article, which is full of ideas, tips and a good advice guide to help you find that special someone in the new year.

Smile:

You’ll attract more people if you look more approachable, and the easiest way to do that is to put a big grin on your face. People are naturally drawn to those with a contagious grin.

Chop Those Locks:

You feel more confident when you look your best, so why not shake things up with a new haircut or style? Whether you’re a guy or a gal, a new “do” can work wonders on your self esteem. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not try some highlights?

Dress up to the 9’s:

If you have an office party in the horizon, why not call up a friend and ask them to be your date for the evening? Make it a special event by dressing up in formal wear and going out in style. If you have no office parties this year, then pick a fabulous, romantic restaurant and hit the town.

Exercise:

The gyms are less crowded during the holidays, so take advantage of that fact and take your pick of the machines you want. You’ll feel better, and you’ll have a head start on the bikini season.

Boost your mood:

If you’re nervous about attending a holiday party, do something (besides drinking alcohol) to make yourself feel good. See a funny movie, work out, whatever works for you.

Go Shopping:

Want to meet someone at the mall? Lines like “Do you think my sister/brother would like this?”(1) (holding up a random item) to the more involved “Could you help me? I need a really good present for my sister/brother this year and I can tell by what your wearing that you have great taste in clothes. Would you mind recommending something for me?” are excellent conversation starters and people feel very at ease and appreciated since they are doing you a favor.

Get out and play:

Gather up a group of friends and spend a day ice skating.

Smell Terrific:

Wearing your favorite fragrance, whether it be aftershave, cologne or perfume is a part of feeling good and sexy.

Go Undie Shopping:

Don’t you feel better when you’re wearing something new and sexy underneath all of those winter clothing? Why wait for someone to buy you that black and pink lace teddy or sexy silk boxers covered with reindeer? Carpe Diem!

Accept All Invites:

The more you hit the party scene, the more opportunities you have to meet new people.. If you decide to go alone or circumstances put you in that position, go ahead but be prepared to have fun, flirt, dance and make merry.

Make the First Move:

Don’t fret about going to parties alone. Is there some cute guy or girl you’ve been dying to go out with? Then ask them out, because chances are they’re waiting to be asked anyways, or they’re too shy to ask you. Someone has to make the first move – so it’s up to you.

Host a “Bring in the New” Party:

Throw a ‘new blood’ party with friends. Everyone has to bring someone new, someone your friends don’t already know.

Start a recycling (men) program:

“Throw a ‘leftover guy’ party. Ask everyone invited to bring a dish and a dishy guy. Whether it be a formal dinner or a casual brunch, the possibilities for entertaining are endless.

Throw a “giving” party:

Throw a party and ask guests to bring canned goods and clothing to donate. Making a difference in needy lives will fill you with good feelings. Make this an annual event.

Throw a “personals party”:

Invite your friends over; ask them to bring a potluck contribution and a notepad. Who better to ghostwrite a personal ad for you or for your other single friends than the good friends who appreciate them?

Send Christmas Cards:

Buy a box and send them out to all the people you are most interested in. Keep it light and funny rather than the more traditional themes. Maybe even a little bit naughty if you’re on good terms with the person. E-cards or electronic greetings can also do in a pinch. If you’re sending cards to friends you haven’t seen in a while, it couldn’t hurt to mention that you’re single and looking. You never know, you could inspire someone’s matchmaking tendencies.

Secret Santa:

Volunteer to be in charge of the company grab bag at your holiday party. A company party is also a great place to make a good impression on your married co-workers; you never know who might have an eligible hot neighbor, brother/sister or friend.

Send Out a Holiday Letter:

Mail a letter about your life to your friends and family, and maybe even to work clients. Tell them about significant events and milestones in your year(2) — and tell them you are single and looking! Describe your ideal mate and include your picture. Who knows what the postman will bring back?

Join up:

Join a club devoted to one of your hobbies or interests. It’s a great way to meet new people, and you won’t have to worry about what to say, because you’re already comfortable talking about your massive stamp collection, goalie tricks or stained glass techniques.

Visit Friends:

Take a break from the pursuit of the love of your life by taking time to just visit friends and family in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Volunteer:

to help out some charity – maybe wrapping or delivering presents for needy kids. There are all sorts of people and organizations in need this time of the year. Volunteering is a great way to meet others while also making you feel good for contributing. How do you find these opportunities for holiday volunteering? Check your local paper, phone book or contact your local United Way for charitable organizations.

Pet-sit:

If your friends are going away over the holidays, offer to watch Fluffy or Spot for a day or two. Walking a cute puppy, or pretty much any dog for some reason, attracts people to you – they get to pet the pooch, you get to make conversation.

Be proactive:

If you’ve heard “Why aren’t you married yet?” for the very last time, instead of focusing on ‘poor me’, decide to do something about it. My friend joined a singles hiking group and met her husband on one of their evening walks. They just had the most adorable baby a month ago.

Go online:

If you want to meet singles, then one of the best and easiest places to find them is to go where they are. Folks online usually have a single purpose, and that is not to be single anymore. You increase your chances of finding someone when you have a broader base to start your search. Also, make an effort to make some new friends of your own gender. That way, you’ll have more people to go out and socialize with.

Check out the Local Scene:

Go and see some Christmas displays, Nativity scenes and lights, or tree lighting events. For many people, it’s kind of a tradition to drive or walk around and look at these displays with friends and/or family.

Go to Church:

Religion and spirituality can be uplifting and satisfying for your soul.(3) Thus, the holidays are the perfect time to rejoin or visit your place of worship. If you have trouble meeting your fellow worshipers, take on a volunteer role.(4) Become a greeter, volunteer on a holiday committee, or take on some other role that fits your personality and interests. Being in a role with a job to do makes it easier to strike up conversation with people — and possibly find romance!

Head Out of Town:

Join a group of single travelers for a fun and relaxing few days. Many travel companies offer a luxury 3 or 4 night traditional Christmas breaks in sumptuous surroundings with good food, excellent entertainment and great company. Or grab some friends and head to a vacation spot geared toward singles.

Get comfortable:

Remember, you have to be at peace with yourself before someone is going to be comfortable with you. When you like yourself, people will fight over each other to date you. You’ll have so many admirers you won’t know what to do.
