5 Ways To Put Yourself Out There This Spring #3.) Ask For Referrals From Friends
We don’t ask friends because we don’t want to seem desperate, but the best way to meet someone is through a set up, and your friends know you and can vouch for you. If you don’t want to ask for a setup ask them to keep their eyes open. . Friends typically don’t want to impose or interfere but with a little hint at it they are usually happy to get involved, and keep their eyes open. Ask couples you already know to keep an eye out for someone.
Don’t be afraid of this, even if it makes you uncomfortable. Share your struggles and ask your friends on ways they think you can better put yourself out there. Sometimes they see something that you don’t which is why it’s important to ask others for feedback.
5 Ways To Put Yourself Out There This Spring #4.) Be Approachable
We live in a day and age that we are not approachable AT ALL. If you start approaching people you will notice that your whole demeanour changes and people will find you more approachable. Make eye contact, don’t be non stop on your phone, hang out solo so you don’t seem intimidating to approach
Ways to do this: Next time you are going for coffee or to a restaurant simply engage in conversation with the service staff, smile at someone, stop looking at your phone and make eye contact. Ask someone a question, or find ways to make small talk with anyone who you come across. It will help you get out of your shell.
5 Ways To Put Yourself Out There This Spring #5.) Invest in yourself
We are so much more confident when we feel good, look good and actually put the effort in. Go buy a new outfit, get your hair done, go to that workout class- whatever helps you feel confident and ready to put yourself out there you should do it. We don’t realize how this will change your entire demeanour. Think of the last time you felt really good about yourself? How did you walk in a room? Was it different than you normally would?
Happy Spring!!!
