After almost a year not being in a relationship and barely dating, I am ready to start dating again. I initially unpaused my online profiles (have had the same ones for 3 years, typically just paused when I'm seeing someone... I've never fully deleted them). I now just deleted the whole thing. I'm think that I'll probably go back and try it but I really just wanted a clean start.
Any tips on here for crafting and online profile and setting preferences? Or specific app suggestions.
Also tips for just going out in person? I went to the beach yesterday and there was a group of guys and omg they were a couple that were very fit and attractive. I was sitting reading and would occasionally go dip in the water. No one ever approached me. I also take myself out on solo dates. Please note that I have done these things for me but now that I'm ready to be dating I'm noticing people I would like to get to know and wondering how it starts. I think I ready in the forum that women shouldn't approach men but I know some women also don't want men to approach so I'm really having a hard time on how the in person interaction should start???
Just for reference I'm in my mid thirties and live in a small vacation town.
Eye contact!! There is an fds episode on flirting and its basically all eye contact. Look at those hot guys shamelessly and if their eyes meet yours then smile. If they smile back keep making the eye contact and repeating this until they approach. If they dont approach after all those smiles they have a gf or arent the type to pursue a woman who's obviously interested so don't feel bad about it.
Best thing ever is if you bring a girlfriend that can help you spot hot guys checking you out so you can make the flirty eye contact with them.
Dont be buried in your activity because I feel like hvm will respect your space and ignore you even if they are attracted.
