Helpful hints on how to maximize your party experience.
We will give you the opportunity to start a conversation with a number of possible matches, but watch for cues and body language. If someone doesn't seem interested, find a way to excuse yourself. With so many options and opportunities, no need to put all your energy into someone who may not be right for you. Treat others the way you want to be treated; with courtesy and respect.
Ask questions that are open ended; questions that don’t have a yes or no answer. This gives your conversation partner the opportunity to respond and possibly ask questions back. Listen to others and give them your full attention.
Don't be a one-upper! We all have a story to tell...make sure you give others time to tell theirs.
Although we would love for everyone to find a great match at our events, it's not always going to happen. Sometimes, people are more particular about what they're looking for...and that's OK!!! An abundance of singles out there are ready for a relationship and we want to help you find them! Allow yourself to explore and be open to someone you may not normally consider; you may be surprised with all the new attention that comes your way!
Catfishing, in dating, is when an individual will post deceptive pictures, or fabricate a story, of who they really are. They post pictures of themselves using social media filters, or a flattering photo from years ago, when they had more hair, weighed less and had fewer wrinkles...essentially creating a false expectation. You cannot portray an image of yourself that existed years ago, or never existed at all (stupid filters!) and expect someone to swoon in person. Looking through people's social media images, I’m often impressed with what some good angles and the right lighting can do. However, I would caution on how unrealistic you choose to be...it usually just leads to disappointment.
Meeting new people and finding the courage to strike up conversation can be tough. While it seems like a good idea to have a couple drinks to loosen up, one drink too many can ruin your evening. Not only can alcohol skew your judgement on whether you find someone appealing, it could create an unfavorable impression of how a potential match sees you. Play it safe...have a drink, have fun, but keep your cool!
