For someone who is a busy professional, that doesn’t have the time to verify and screen through all the online profiles, where do they turn? Don’t give up. I always advise my clients to try something new and think outside of their comfort zone. If you’ve been wanting to learn how to dance, then take that salsa class! Try an open dance night where they give lessons. If you’ve been wanting to learn how to golf, then take a lesson, show up on a weekend, join a random

foursome, meet new people and put

yourself out there. If you’ve been

wanting to take up sailing, then join a

yacht club in your area. Try

something new. If you’re sporty, join

a tennis club or co-ed softball league;

those can be a fun place to start.

Look into local charity events and

fundraisers. Charitable and giving

individuals attend those events, so

not only will you possibly meet

someone new, but you will also feel

good about giving back.

Whenever you leave the house,

expect to run into “The One.” Make

sure to always look and feel your best;

dress to impress and always have

your hair and makeup done. Not only

will you look like a million bucks, but

you will feel like it too. It will help your

confidence and you will attract more

people. Be friendly, outgoing and

genuinely try to get to know new

people. Sometimes we are so closed

off that we are unapproachable. Try to

be open and friendly and invite

people in that will allow them to get

to know you better. So many times, I

hear that people are desperate to be

with someone. Desperation is a huge

turn off. When you want to meet

someone, you need to be 100% secure

and confident with yourself. You

shouldn’t need someone to make you

happy. You should be happy with

yourself and your life. A partner

would just be the cherry on top.
