How To Get A Date Without Apps
Using apps to find dates (or mates) makes sense. It’s incredibly easy and you can search for a partner around the clock with a swipe of the finger. However, it’s not the most social way to meet potential matches who you could spend the rest of your life with. It also doesn’t make for the best story. If you’re looking for a great “meet cute” and a story to share about how you 2 met one another then maybe it’s best to try your luck out in the real world!
There are many different places you could meet someone you like. It could be through a shared hobby like working out at the gym, yoga, pick-up soccer, a running club, or you could meet at your favorite restaurant or bar. Maybe it’s even at dance lessons! There are so many possibilities! Of course, you have to be ready and make the most of your time.
Blaine Anderson is a dating coach and he has some expert tips on how to meet someone the old fashion way–by introducing yourself in person and having an actual conversation. Now, yes, this is much more frightening than texting on an app. Getting rejected in-person stings a lot more! There’s also many more ways to mess up. However, it could all be worth it if you do things the right way. What does Blaine recommend?
According to Men’s Health, Anderson says eye contact is key. He tells Men’s Health, “It’s everything. It can express interest, humor, and give you clues on if you’ve got the okay to approach and introduce yourself.” Anderson also highlights how it’s good to find common ground. He tells Men’s Health, “Don’t go with a cheesy pick-up line…just strike up a conversation. Odds are you’ll find something you have in common and that’s a potential opening to find out more about each other.” Starting with a funny pick-up line might work online, but it’s different there! Doing it in-person is not recommended.
Furthermore, Anderson talks about the power of compliments telling Men’s Health, “They can be magical, assuming they’re genuine and not superficial. Don’t say something just to have something to say, and don’t make some comment about her body part of choice. Complimenting their laugh, their confidence, or their intellect will get you a lot farther.” Don’t just compliment her boobs or something weird! Finally, Anderson says to approach the conversation with low pressure and no drama. He tells Men’s Health, “You’re just saying hello and introducing yourself. Don’t go planning a vacation or making marriage plans just yet, stud. That’s a sure way to send them running for the hills. Consider a one-on-one meet-up at a bar or restaurant in the near future a sign of resounding success.”
There you have it! You ready to give it a try or will you be sticking with your apps?
