Is your Love Life in a funk?!
Has it been ages since you've been on a date?!
Are you looking to spice up your life?!

Well I have just the thing!!!  Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves, because if your love life is in dire need of some sprucing up, meeting your soul mate is just a hop, skip, and a jump away.   But remember, the first and most crucial element to establishing a means of courtship is setting up the first date! 

1. Break the Ice

• Approach the person you would like to ask out on a date.  This action can be done in a setting with others or with just the two of you.   Make direct eye contact when approaching them.  You want them to know you are consciously seeking their attention.  Greet him or her with a friendly “Hello” and pay them a compliment or ask a question of some sort to spark conversation. 

2. Remain Cool, Calm, and Collected

• Relax when speaking with your perspective partner.  Tips to help you relax include: 
• Crack a joke.  This will help create a comfortable atmosphere for the two of you as well as get the other person’s attention. 
• Break the touch barrier.  By gently brushing his or her arm after the punch line of your joke you will be sending non-verbal messages that convey playfulness.  It’s important that the conversation has a flirty feel to it, because it will help reinforce and clarify your intentions, without having to explicitly state them.  

3. Find a Common Hobby or Activity

• Inquire about his or her favorite activities, hobbies, interests, likes, and dislikes.  Find an agreeable activity that you both would enjoy.  Once you have established an activity that you both enjoy doing, you can ready yourself to take a plunge and pop the question! 

4. Ask Questions

• Ask your perspective crush what their plans are for the upcoming weekend or weeknight.  This is setting the stage for the invitation you wish to extend to them.   If you detect uncertainty in his or her response about their weekend plans, or if they simply do not have concrete ones, this may be a perfect time to propose the two of you engage in an activity you have in common.   When setting up a date it is crucial to remember to include these essential bits of information:

-       When the date will take place (Date and time)

-       Where the date will take place (Location)

-       What activities you will be doing (Refer to activities you both have in common)

5. Compose Yourself If He or She Rejects You

• Remain calm if the answer is no.  If he or she does not express an interest in accompanying you to the location you have proposed, there is no need to be upset.   You have attempted to connect with this particular individual and if things don’t seem to work out, the best thing to do is remain friends.
