A banging party might be the perfect meeting place. Your hosts might already be in celebratory mode â€" Yuletide, birthday, house warming or whatever the occasion could be. There are likely to be at least a few fellow partygoers that you actually know and there are sure to be 1 or 2 single men too. You can seriously pamper yourself before you go, dress up massively and look your very best. There's regularly a connection between the fellow who looks like he might be cool to talk to and the host or hostess, and if you know them good enough you can always subtly check out who he is , what he does for a job and whether he's free for further enquiry. Trouble is, unless you move artfully and directly, attractive unattached men can get monopolized by other single girls very swiftly.
All of a sudden the party's drawing to a close and the nearest you have got to chatting to anyone remotely single was your best friend's younger brother who, after a couple of lagers, admitted to having a childhood crush on you. So what to do ... ?
Try not to get to a party too early â€" you will be worse for wear when almost all of the other guests arrive and there's an air of despair at turning up at 8 o'clock on the dot. Then again, don't wait till the trendy bar chucking out time to arrive â€" it could be too late to snap up the neatest deals! 9 to 9.30 pm. Is generally about right.
Work the room, speaking to those guests that you do know, keeping one eye open for tasty fellows on the way. Try hard not to get stuck with the loser from accounts or the old mate that wants to catch up with the last few months in point by point detail. Excusing yourself to the bathroom remains the best way of extricating yourself from that sort of situation and wasting potential manâ€"hunting time.
Talk to a range of people, males and females, as networking can cause all sorts of further prospects.
If you see someone that you like, check out his ring finger. Not an assured method of dumping the attached men of course, nevertheless it certainly helps.
The most straightforward system of getting near a fellow who looks engaging is simply to ask him his connection to the party. 'So how does one know Robert/Felicity? Anything starting with 'My spouse/girlfriend' or even 'We ' is probably a dead end.
Once you are talking to someone that has taken your fancy, try to relax and enjoy. Ask questions, be a good listener and check out whether there's any eye contact. And if he excuses himself to go to the toilet and doesn't return inside a few minutes, or goes off to get another drink without offering you a refill, take his exit in good grace. Maybe this time the attraction wasn't mutual; maybe next time you could have more dating success.
