You’ll find single people everywhere this July Fourth weekend! Go out, enjoy the festivities, and meet new people. You'll be more successful if you keep a couple of things in mind.
Are you wearing an appealing, age-appropriate outfit? Ladies, wear makeup, and forget about bare midriffs and miles of cleavage--unless you are in your twenties. The same goes for the shirtless look for guys. Whatever the activity is, you want to look your best—you never know when you’ll bump into someone special.
If you appear confident and outgoing, you’ll meet people. Studies show that eye contact, a smile and an animated face are more appealing than dazzling beauty. What you say to someone new is not as important as your gently flirtatious demeanor. Just mention something about whatever you are both seeing or hearing right now, and you’ll be on the right track. Most people will appreciate your friendly demeanor. If someone ignores you, don’t take it personally. Just move on to the next person.
