How to get noticed at gatherings (Flirting 101)

So we all know that social gatherings are the perfect place to get a date or meet someone special. The problem most of us face is getting noticed. So, what can you do to get that special person to notice you? Better yet, how can you get noticed by several special persons?

Okay, so the trick here is to stop looking for the right person, and be the right person. The person everyone wants to meet.

So, how do you get noticed?

Bring something to the party, pool, game, etc.

Yes, I guess we are all free-loaders and enjoy free stuff. So why not take advantage of this natural impulse and bring something for everyone to enjoy, such as drinks, baked goodies, or just any type of snacks?

In her book “Guerrilla Dating Tactics”, Sharyn Wolf relates the experience of Joe. He lived in a big condominium with a built-in pool. Many good looking women gathered in this pool every weekend, and Joe had never had the guts to approach any of them. What did Joe do? The next weekend, Joe brought a pitcher of ice-cold margaritas, a container of salt, and sixteen recycled paper cups. It was a success!

So why not steal Joe’s idea, and put it to practice in your own life? Of course, remember to bring something everyone, or at least something mostly everyone, will enjoy. Don’t bring things such as free books, grandma’s chicken salad, or peanut butter cookies (I still don’t know anyone who likes those.)

Also remember: Be original.Don’t bring something everyone brings. Your goal is to be memorable. If you bring what everyone else brings, you’ll just be one of the bunch.

So think hard, and get those social muscles in action!
