Are you searching for the perfect partner in the new year? Stop competing against thousands online and start enjoying endless untapped opportunities to attract your match in the real world—from the airport to a coffee shop or grocery store aisle. Dating apps were designed to be a casual new way to meet your future partner, but for many singles, apps represent a digital dystopia of limited connections.
Watch author Camille Virginia for an event that will guide you through her proven three-step process to attract a great partner wherever you go. Understand and utilize the deep need for genuine, in-person interactions to find your next date.
Main Takeaways on dating:
- The pandemic really just exacerbated a trend that was already going on, which was people going on screens and losing their in-person social skills.
Unfortunately social skills are like muscles, if you don’t use them, you lose them. Doesn’t mean you can’t get it back. - Camille’s 3-step method:
- Magnetic approachability – how to step outside the door feeling confident. Dressing for confidence and a conversation
- Effortless engagement – using what’s around you, use what’s casual and contextual to break the ice with someone.
- Asked out organically – the secret to getting asked out happens before the ask out event presents itself. It’s when you create a meaningful connection with someone. When you get to a point of interesting conversation, which can happen very quickly, they’re going to want more of you.
Top Q&A Questions:
- How should we handle the rejection that comes from putting yourself out there?
- Don’t stop at the rejection. If you talk to someone, you’re having a good conversation, you ask to exchange numbers, and it doesn’t go the way that you want it to, don’t stop your interaction on that. Go immediately give someone a compliment or something to end your day or that moment or that time in that space on a positive note.
- Can you share some ways to overcome social anxiety?
- Find what works for you. Just something small. If there’s something that’s just a little outside your comfort zone, even if it seems ridiculously small, like saying hi to your neighbor who moved in 3 months ago, go say hi to your neighbor. Just one little thing that scares you a little bit, overcome that fear, show it doesn’t have power over you.Try to set a goal once a week to just keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone gradually, but not enough that it scares you.
- Any other places you recommend for meeting people?
- Literally anywhere. You name a place, I have probably met someone there. If you have the open mind that you can meet someone anywhere, then you can meet someone anywhere.
- Examples from Camille’s book The Offline Dating Method
- Animal shelter, concert, birthday party, airport and airplanes, etc.
