5 Ways to ba a strategic Dater (Part 2)

Newsletter 10/24/07


Put yourself in a place where you would have the best chance of success.


  • Pick events that are age appropriate. I have seen 50 year-old guys go to 20-something events and wonder why they are not successful. Most of these women are not interested in guys who are their father's age - unless you are a successful, rich celebrity!

  • Go to places where your gender is in the minority. If you are a woman, go to sports oriented events. I biked, skied, played tennis, volleyball and softball. I even bowled to meet men! If you are a man, go to an exercise class which is mostly female- even if you look like a spaz, women will give you credit for trying and being willing to make a fool of yourself!

  • Go to places where you will see people repeatedly. Don't go to events and places where you see someone once and most likely never again. You get to know a person better over time. As a relationship coach, I had one client who went to a dinner at a church once and saw a woman he was interested in. He never got a chance to talk to her the first time. Next month, he went back to the dinner, making sure he sat next to her. The third time, the following month, he got up the nerve to ask her out. Now they are married!
Strategically planning your dates helps you become a strategic dater, increasing your dating success.
