Are you convinced that you have zero opportunities to meet men? Stuck in an office all day with the same people? Tried singles’ dances only to leave feeling worse than when you went in? Did the last setup by your aunt end in disaster? Don’t worry. Here are some fresh ideas to help you meet great single men. While advice columnists often suggest meeting men at church, I have different recommendations. Church is great for spiritual growth, but it’s not always the best place to meet someone. If you’d rather meet a man where he’s more likely to be himself, here are my top three recommendations.
Contrary to popular advice, bars can be a great place to meet men, especially during Monday Night Football. Football season attracts many single men to bars, creating a lively and social atmosphere. When I was single, I loved going to Monday Night Football events, even though I didn’t fully understand the game. The bar was filled with single men, there was a free buffet, and the atmosphere was merry.
Meeting men in bars allows you to see how they behave under the influence of alcohol. Does he get wasted and drive home, or does he have a couple of beers and switch to water before leaving? Does he become aggressive when his team loses, or does he remain amiable? These are things you can learn in a bar that you might not see in other settings.
Taking a class is a classic piece of advice, but it’s effective. My friend Brian’s longtime girlfriend left him for another guy. After grieving, he signed up for a cooking class. Brian loves to cook but had put off formal training. In the class, he met many like-minded women.
Brian didn’t fall in love with anyone from his cooking class, so he threw a party to show off his new skills. He invited everyone he knew and told them to bring friends. A woman he’d never met showed up, and they fell in love. They’ve been married for two years now.
The key to meeting new men is to break up your routine. Put down the remote and seek new social situations. Act naturally and smile. Don’t keep twisting your neck like you’re casing the place for a live one. Maintain eye contact with whomever you’re talking to, whether it’s a man or a woman. Having fun is key. When you’re having fun, you’ll attract men like a magnet.
Meeting excellent single men requires stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things. Whether it’s going to a bar during Monday Night Football, taking a class, or hosting a party, the key is to have fun and be yourself. The world is full of great single men who want to meet someone special, and for one of those men, that person is you. Seek and create new social situations, and you’ll attract men like a magnet.
