Spring is in the air and for a lot of people, it feels like the PERFECT time to meet someone new. How do you put your best foot forward?
1. Be mentally and emotionally prepared to date
You can’t possibly be ready to meet someone if you aren’t in a good place personally. Bringing
baggage from previous experiences or relationships will only hurt a potential new relationship,
and make you seem unprepared to date. Taking time to reflect on past relationships and tying
up loose ends is crucial in dating this spring.
2. Do some spring cleaning
We mean this literally and metaphorically. Clean out your closet and get rid of clothes you aren’t
wearing anymore and treat yourself to a shopping spree. If you look good you’ll feel good, and
your date will notice.
Spring cleaning applies to your relationships as well. Is there a friend who keeps bringing you
down, or a coworker who’s constantly nagging? Evaluate these relationships and decide if these
people are really crucial in your life. Getting rid of negative energy around will help you feel
more positive, which will help you date with your best foot forward.
3. Work on yourself
When you’re at your best, people will notice. Ever wonder why you always seem to get hit on
while you’re in a relationship, and not at all when you’re single? It’s because people flock to
other happy people; we’re attracted to positive energy. We want to surround themselves with
positivity, and if you’re depressed about a breakup, others can tell. This is the time when you
can have the most fun dating. Confidence is sexy, and there’s nothing more attractive than
someone who is happy, has their life in order, and who knows what they want. Being single is
the perfect time to work on you, and if someone great happens to notice you in the process,
then dating just became a whole lot easier.
4. Be optimistic
We all know that dating can be stressful, but being positive is what sets you apart from all the
other singles out there. No one wants to date a downer, and no one wants to date someone
who hates dating. Dating is a time where you can be independent, selfish and care free. Yes,
meeting new people all the time can be draining, but it doesn’t have to be. Being optimistic will
set you apart from other singles, and will insure that you are successful this spring.
5. Try something new
You’re never going to meet anyone if you go to the same places every week. This spring it’s time
to change it up! This doesn’t necessarily mean buying an entire new gym membership to work
out somewhere new, this could just be starting something back up you used to love. Not only
could you rekindle a love for an old hobby, you could meet someone amazing who shares similar
interests in the process.
6. Have fun!
As stressful as dating can be, this spring it’s time to discover what you’re looking for in a partner. So
don’t go into dating feeling stressed or uncertain, this is a time for self-reflection, a time for you, and
one of the rare times in your life where you can be selfish. So put your best foot forward, and
hopefully you won’t be single for long.
