10 Dating Tips

Whatever your current situation may be you can always use some new dating tips. Whether you are in a relationship or looking for someone special we all could spice things up a bit and get fresh ideas. If you find yourself being cynical about love and/or dating maybe you are looking in the wrong places and for the wrong kind of person.

Unfortunately Cupid does not exist. However with the right mindset and a few hot leads you will be on the right track to finding someone new and exciting in no time. Remember the saying “Different strokes for different folks”, not every situation/place will be beneficial to everyone…but keep in mind, if what you have been doing isn’t working…whats the harm in trying something out of the ordinary?

Ten Dating Tips

1. Research- Know what you want before you start shopping. Have a general idea of the kind of girl/guy you want to date so that you don’t waste you time…and someone else’s. Now with that being said, if there is initial attraction with someone that you would normally dismiss, maybe give it a second thought. You never know what someone has to offer until you give them a shot. If you are used to hanging out at Republic maybe try a night out at One Eyed Jacks to switch it up and keep your options open.

2. Get a Makeover- Guys too! Find a local gym (also a great place to pick up the opposite sex) like the French Riveria in Metairie. Get s fresh hair cut/color some where trendy like H2O, where by the way the women are beautiful. Some thing you can do yourself at home. Have a skin regimen, eat healthy, and keep those teeth white and fresh. These things will help you be more confident and sexy.

3. Shop- Throw out the old and get some new. Keep it classy but sexy. Don’t try to be someone you are not. Remember to dress for your body type. Try a boutique so you have something that not everyone else in the city has. Hemline is a great place to find trendy date attire. Also check out Urban Outfitters for some funky styles.

4. Time line- Figure out what your time line is. Are you ready to settle down, get married, etc.? Are you just looking for casual dating to bring some new people into your life? Are you looking for a “Wham Bam thank you Mame/Sir”? These are things you need to ask yourself and be up front about. Don’t get me wrong, never do you want to say on a first date, “I hope to be married with two kids a dog and a  white house in the next 4-5 years.” That will send anyone running for the door. However if you feel that the other person is looking for something way different than you are, let them know.

5. Change your inner circle- If you typically hang around married couples or cynical singles dump those friends (for now) and mingle with the singles (the fun, sexy, happy ones). Find people that have your same common interest and goals about dating in mind. These people will not only be supportive but may lead you to a hot date as well.

6. Be Realistic- If you have always wanted to date a jock/cheerleader, fine. Just remember, people date within their same social group. If that is the kind of person you are looking for you have to be sporty, fit, and happy!

7. Get Out- Put the laptop/video game/remote down. If you want to meet people you have to get out and find them. Never in history has some one popped out of a Nintendo and offered up hot sex…maybe in a dream but not reality. Go to a place where you think other single people may be. Pat O’Brien’s, has a lot of singles. or try your luck at a casino like Harrahs, you may hit the jack pot in more ways than one.

8. Recharge- If you find yourself in a dating slump, take a break. Don’t go into any date thinking, “This is going to go no where just like all the others”. Before you get in that mind set take a breather. Go hang at the Lake solo for a change. Have lunch by yourself at Port of Call, sit at the bar, drink a Monsoon and reboot.

9. Keep an open mind- Your next date may not be your lifelong partner or late night booty call but they may in fact be a great friend to have. So if the chemistry isn’t there don’t shrug them off, they may have a great friendship to offer. The more people you know the more doors that can open for you later down the road. Keep it friendly.

10. Don’t be easy- This goes for women AND men. keep some mystery to the game. Even if the sparks fly on the first date, give it a while. keep them guessing, play hard to get. It really does work! Give those emotions time to catch up with the desires.
