Sending the Right Signals
under Date Night,100hookup,Judaism,Single LifeThis month (it’s December already!!!???) you will likely attend lots of holiday parties in addition to your local shindig on Christmas Eve where all the Jews go to celebrate nothing else being open (the Place2Be, the MatzoBall, the Mitzvah Ball, the Vodka Latke, etc). If you are single heading into the New Year then attending one of these events is a MUST.
But you also MUST send the right signals while you’re there.
- Dress classy, not costume-y. You want to be taken seriously as a dating prospect, not just a fun one-nighter. So, dress sexy, but not trashy.
- Make eye contact and smile. The best way to let someone know you’re interested is to catch their eye and hold it for a few seconds while you smile.
- Stand tall and relaxed. Slumped posture with arms crossed over your chest gives off a closed vibe.
- Laugh. Have fun and enjoy yourself. People want to be around other positive people.
- Be forward, but polite. If you are talking to someone that you are not interested in, then warmly inform them that you want to find your friends and that you hope they have a nice evening. You don’t need to waste your time with people you don’t like, but having good manners is important. Your prospect could be close enough to overhear you excusing yourself.
- Do a stink check. Nothing will turn someone off faster than body odor or bad breath.
