You’ve decided to date again but you do not know how to start. Here are 5 sure ways to get one.

1. Take action. First and foremost take action by going out. Sitting at home doesn’t work. You have to get out and about. A lot of singles sit at home and wait for the phone to ring, but unless you are a popular movie actor/actress, I think you’d best go out .Where to go? Anywhere, just commit to going out.

2. Seize every opportunity. Oh yes! Always carry name cards, printed with your telephone numbers. While you are out, hand out these cards to dating prospects. Make eye contacts; mention you’ll like to hear from them.

3. Organized Networking is another prime outlet to meet singles. So join a singles network. It is one of the most effective dating tools. Ask your friends, colleagues, relatives and acquaintances if they know of anyone nice for you. Have them ask their friends.

4. Go to places where you’ll find the kind of mate you are looking for. Good prospects can be found at various seminars, first time home buyers, money management, wealth creation, etc. Computers stores and sporting goods outlets also have favourable men-to-women ratios.

5. Attend youth sports games on Saturday mornings. You’ll find serious –minded singles there. And while chatting with them you can find someone with views and values similar to your own.

Above all have a positive attitude and smile always. So go out there, have fun and get yourself a great date.
