It’s a complicated dating world out there, from speed and blind dating to the anxious chat-up at your local Starbucks. Yet the publishing world keeps trying to make it easier for you. Here is a new release you might consider consulting.
Title: “Always Talk to Strangers: 3 Simple Steps to Finding the Love of Your Life”
David Wygant with Bryan Swerling (Perigee, $13.95)
The sum-up: Author/dating coach David Wygant says there are unlimited opportunities to meet single folks. His tips will help you build confidence and carry on conversations with complete strangers.
Making the right impression: “When speaking to someone, use their name occasionally when talking. Just don’t overuse it at the risk of becoming annoying.”
Making the wrong impression: “Most people know that it’s inappropriate in the early stages of conversation to talk about the amount of money one makes… It’s vain, narcissistic, and serves only to impress people in a superficial way. When the time is right, usually down the road, the topic will come up and you can tell the person about your finances.”
The clincher: “Stop thinking that you have to be perfect. You don’t. If you’re the type of person who won’t approach someone because you don’t look your best or you’re not feeling your best, then you’re letting far too many opportunities pass you by.” |
