Yup.  Another Easy Dating Tip from your Romance Coach and Online Dating Coach.  Perhaps you were worried that  I had, eek, RUN OUT OF IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ooooo noooooo, say it ain't so!!!

No worries.  I got a million of 'em.  With me, my clients are NEVER in a dating rut with NOTHING they can do on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday to GO MEET MORE PEOPLE and GET DATES or GET MORE DATES. 

Yesterday I encouraged you to go try a YOGA class to get a romantic date. 

Now, I mainly talked to MEN about doing this for meeting Da Ladies.

However, and here's your bonus freebie (free on top of free, is what?  Uber Free?) because this blog is going to be an other Easy Dating Tip, other than about Yoga.

So, as a bonus, the thing is, ladies, YOU can take Yoga Classes to meet MEN, too.  It's not just The Reverse of yesterday. 

Part of the point of TRY SOMETHING new and stretching yourself (HAD to say it, we're talking about Yoga, right?) is to do something a bit different than what is 100% you you you SO you can meet someone WITH WHOM YOU HAVE CHEMISTRY.

If they are IDENTICAL to you, no chemistry, no fun, no surging passion.  And I don't know about you, but I have GOT to have some surging PASSION in MY romantic relationships.

So ladies, if Yoga is not quite YOUR THING what you NORMALLY DO, then for YOU to take a Yoga class IS a stretch.  And you might meet some nice man who is working on loosening up his hockey thighs. 

That was my OVER DELIVERY part since this is a FREE Easy Dating Tips Advise Blog, where other Romance Coaches will actually CHARGE you for the pleasure of reading their articles so you could actually get a sense of would I want to work with YOU in particular.  I've learned all about Over Delivery from MR. Over Delivery Himself, Motivational Speaker, Master of Persuasion, Kevin Hogan. 

Now for the real point of this blog.

Yup.  More MOVING.  It's Summer Time.  I am all about GETTING OUT, GETTING MOVING, Lookin Good!  and GETTING HEALTHY.

Well, it's Monday morning.

Have you made your coffee yet? 

Ok, so I DO believe in being frugal and not going OUT and buying a cup of coffee every day.  So normally I am making a pot of coffee at home.

HOWEVER!  If you are single and you haven't been on a date this weekend....

Or you DID go on dates this weekend and there really aren't going to be any date #2s of out these....
then you could go to a coffee joint and get some coffee in a public place.  Put this in your dating budget.  You have one, right?

So!  You've tried EVERYTHING!  You've EXHAUSTED all of your resources around you?  You're friends - marrieds and singles have no more friends or acquaintances with which to fix you up.

And you're still not engaged.

Now what?

Go hiking!

Look up for your metro area all the hiking clubs.

What churches in your area meet for a monthly hike?  Get on their email list.  Better still, pick up the PHONE and talk to the leader.   Introduce yourself.  I'm Bob, I'm 33 and quite fit.  Are there different fitness levels in the group?  That's OK?  Good.

Sierra Club

Absolute Adventures

Go Google athletic and adventure clubs in your metro area.

Place an add in Craig's Iist looking to form a hiking group of singles.  Arrange to meet for breakfast at iHop or Denny's first so you all gaggle, socialize and feel safe with each other, and then go for a hike.

Check out the training classes at REI, Northface or the local outdoors outfitter store near where YOU live.

Now shift 10 miles north.  Or 25 miles east.  Or 37 miles south.

Expand your radius just a little so you stretch yourself.

Feeling in a rut?

Plan a trip to get away and just GO SOMEWHERE different.  Check out Scott Bell, The Road Warrior's website for some travel ideas.

MOVE/shift your body.

I'll continue in the same direction tomorrow.

Trust me, you have NOT met everyone and you have NOT exhausted your metro area.  Expand your vision.

You're going to have more fun AND meet new people!

God bless and God speed!

Yesterday I suggested you stretch yourself a few degrees and try a DIFFERENT church than the one you ALWAYS go.  Here're some more Easy Dating Tips for you!

In fact, one of my "Success Stories"  was just telling me earlier today, "April, we are so aligned and have such similar taste, but were just different enough that we NEVER would have met if we hadn't gone online like you prompted me to do!  Thank you!"  (she gushed more, which was lovely, but I just can't be the one to brag THAT much.  I'll post her testimonial at my website soon.)

Indeed, we have to have aligned values and tastes but not IDENTICAL, that way there is a foundation for a RELATIONSHIP and sufficient differences for CHEMISTRY!

Soooooo, today, as you start your new week, what will you do a few degrees differently Monday morning so that you INCREASE your chances of meeting some different people?

1.  How about go to a DIFFERENT gas station to fill up your tank?  Go INSIDE to pay.  Say HELLO to the  cashier  and smile and nod to the other folks are also paying.

2.   Where are you getting lunch?  GO OUT!  I have a favorite deli. however, part of what I really like about it is how QUIET it is.  Sigh.  So when I want to meet more people, I put my coral lipstick on and apply my azalea pink lipgloss on top and head over to the Safeway deli in Foster City because they are sweet but SLOW in their service.  I'll get a GREAT sandwich and have to talk with the few ppl in front and behind me.  Oh, what're you getting?  How is that?  What kind of bread do you recommend with that?  Really? What do you like about that?  Oh, thanks!  I have to place my order now.  Nice chatting!

3.   What about YOUR EVENING?  Is there a Stanley Cup game on?  If not, you MUST go out. Try the list of  Business Networking events, or go do Happy Hour at the local NICE hotel's bar.  If there IS a Stanley Cup game, you're thinking because I'm a FAN I'll give you the night off, weren't you? NOPE.  Go to a SPORTS BAR.  Just phone in advance to make sure they'll be showing the game you want to catch!  (the Minnesota Wild has been eliminated, sorry to my buds in MN.  Great team, just not their year.)

OK, that should keep you busy. 

So you think you've met EVERYONE in your area who is in your age demographic?  Shift your thinking or I'll have to come by and shake you!

Really, you CAN find love.  Sometimes that means go over a few towns further than you are presently doing.

More ideas tomorrow from....
