The Meet

Meeting and greeting can be a very tedious, intricate and down right disappointing thing. Being a single woman in the millenium has its hardships and challenges. It also has its rewards and privaleges. I've found that-what you put into it is most definitely what you'll get out of it.
Many of us (women); we don't know where to begin. It seems that everywhere you may go, those around you are boo'ed up! You begin to question where the single and let's not forget available men are! You even feel as though they don't exist anymore! Single men have become extinct like the fall of Rome!
I've been asked many times over; where are great places to meet guys?! Truth is there is no absolute 100% correct answer to that question! Sorry ladies! It's like asking me: where the perfect man is.? He doesn't exist. And neither does the perfect place to meet men! However, there is a silver lining to that statement. There are, as always; many tried, tested and true places that could be as lucky for you as they have been for me! Here's my list:
THE HOTSPOTS TO MEET MEN
#1. WHERE-
Mutual friends parties
WHY-This includes, but is not limited to; dinners, receptions, and house parties. The friend of the both of you can give helpful and useful incite on the gentlmen caller you're interested in. More than likely, if it's a true friend; they won't set you up for failure. You'll aready know if they're available light is on, you definitely don't have to guess.
HOW-Ask the mutual friend to introduce the two of you. If they're a good friend, they've already got it in the works. They've pumped you up, created a supply and demand and now all you have to do is deliver!!

#2 Least unexpected places
WHY- This includes grocery stores, gas stations, the mall and EVEN at a red light (tested, tried and true LOL) It's refreshingly surprising and you're guards are down. You're more than likely to come across as being yourself and natural. Nothing is rehearsed and prepped! This is the atmosphere, believe it or not, that you are seen as the woman handling herself independently. Think about it! You're alone (independent), running your errands (taking care of business) and you probably have a serious face on (I'm in charge of my life. I got it together.)
HOW-Isn't it obvious?! Just go about your daily business, living your life and concentrating on what's important....YOU! Once that's done...HE'LL come! (and when you least expect him)
The saying goes...Love finds you when you're not looking for it...or maybe I just made that up LOL

#3 Happy Hours
WHY- It's a fun time of day! Everyone's there (hopefully) from work...so at least he has a JOB! It's an open forum of conversation, especially for those of us that are handicapped in the communications department. You can go in a group, with a friend, or alone! It won't matter, because everyone is there to unwind from the work day and relax. There is no customary reasoning behind going to a happy hour; so if you meet someone...so be it!
HOW- Go after work. Sit at the bar! Order a drink! Someone will talk to you...even if it's just the bartender LOL! The trick here is to look inviting. If you're uncomfortable in your own skin...everybody else knows it. It's like a wolf sniffing out the sheep. So be calm, relax, drink and enjoy your evening. Don't get too tipsy! It'll cloud you're judgement. And you must keep a look out for the fanthom wedding ring remover! He lurks in the darkness, just waiting to tell the HOT lie that he's single! NOPE!!! NOT!!!

#4 Go back to school
WHY- There's nothing hotter than an educated mate. It speaks volumes. Enough said!
HOW- Study groups are already essential. Why not study with a nice peice of eye-candy. Don't forget the carpool. LOL! Ask a question after class...of HIM! Share the class book. There's already a peice of property to share SMH! On your breaks and in between classes, the two of you could grab a coke and a smile! Latte anyone?! No not you Priscilla (fictious friend that attempts to tag along) I got this!

#5 Poetry Night
WHY- You share a passion for the arts. There is always good dialogue in between acts. There's music as well to dance to with him and you have to be quiet when poets are up, so there's the prime time to get your sexy, quiet whisper voice on.
HOW- Get up and go! They happen all over the city. Look in the paper, visit websites, find a location near you that hosts poetry nights. Especially amatuer poetry nights. The next poet that goes on stage just may be seducing you through the mic! Call it inspiration...or NOT

Those are enough for now! I have more...but I can't give it all to you now!
Happy Meeting! Go out, be approachable, saavy, smart, laugh, live and enjoy love coming to you!
