Matchmaking Parties 2 – What NOT to do
Matchmaking Parties 2 – What NOT to do
Hi there everyone, we're back again with part two of our look at matchmaking parties.
Look back to last week to see what you SHOULD do to make the most of the experience.
However, there are just as many "don'ts" as there are "do's".
Today we are going to look at some of the don'ts and hopefully prevent you from making a complete ass of yourself.
Basically, the fact that you dressed nice means nothing if you end up puking and wearing your Jack Daniels on top of your suit jacket.
So let's not waste any time, shall we?
1) Don't drink too much before the party.
Yes, you are going to be approaching women you've never met before and a drink or two might help steady the nerves, but you aren't doing yourself any favors by showing up drunk.
If you really think that you will charm a girl with your handful of slurred phrases or obnoxious behavior, you may need to adjust your thinking.
Think of who shows up for these parties. They are women who are looking for a serious relationship and have put some effort into looking nice and searching for a long term partner.
They want someone who is as serious about getting into a relationship as they are, and whiskey breath doesn't screen long-term.
2) Go for hotness.
Yes, this is easier said than done.
Dating parties can often attract some beautiful women, and with first impressions being so powerful, it's easy to get drawn into going after them.
And lord know I don't want to talk anyone out of dating a hot Japanese girl.
This wouldn't be much of an article if I did so.
What I am saying is that there are a lot of really nice and interesting girls at these events that aren't necessarily the next big supermodel,
but don't necessarily look like feet either. And, well, if you think a girl is the hottest thing in the room, there is a good chance that a large amount of the other guys think so too.
Why not let them duke it out while you try and find a woman who is actually compatible with you?
3) Go all slobbery over one woman.
If you find a girl at a party and you think the two off you have great chemistry, by all means chat her up.
Tell her that you want to meet again and be sure to get her number and email address.
But the last thing you want to do is come off as desperate. If she isn't reciprocating you should always keep another girl in mind.
Dating parties are a good way to meet lots of women, so you should up your chances.
The first two rules should be common sense in my opinion, but what often happens is that guys don't take these parties as seriously as the women do,
and coming in drunk or making a beeline to the hot girl are definite tells.
The last one may mean you take these things a little too seriously.
Tequila breath may be a pretty bad chick repellent, but desperation isn't too far behind.
Look for a girl that interests you, but remember that there is more than one woman there.
So don't forget to have a good time.
So let's say you find a girl.
What should you do after the party?
We'll wrap up this series next article!
Good luck!
