How to Approach a Woman
This one’s for you, gentlemen. How many times has a woman caught your eye, but you didn’t go talk to her because you weren’t sure how to approach her? As amusing as lines like “Hey angel, what time do you have to be back in heaven?” can be, they will most often result in either an evil glare or a chuckle as she walks away. Here are a few more realistic tips to approaching that pretty lady who just might be your next date.
- Keep it simple. Walk up to her and introduce yourself, then ask her a question. “Hi, I’m David. Are you having a good time?”
- Observe something funny or interesting happening nearby, and then make a comment to her. “Hey, I just saw that guy double dip in the salsa, so might want to steer clear of it.”
- Find common ground with her. When at a party or some kind of event, ask her how she knows the host or if she has been to this type of function before.
- Ask her opinion. For example, if you are at the produce section in the grocery store, ask her the best way to pick out a cantaloupe. If you are at a shoe store, ask her what she thinks of a pair of shoes you are trying on. Women love to give their opinions!
Once you have broken the ice, ask her a few questions about herself if she seems open to talking further.
Remember, a confident man is an attractive man, so act confident in your approach (even if you aren’t). Be careful not to come across as cocky, though. She doesn’t want to hear you brag about how wealthy or successful you are.

Finding Your Next Date
Ok, so you’re ready to meet the love of your life and you know what you’re looking for. Now you have to go out and find that wonderful person! Of course, SetforMarriage.com is a fabulous way to find your partner in life. However, it’s a good idea to supplement this method with looking for a mate in your day-to-day life.
A great way to meet someone you will be compatible with is to get out and do things you enjoy. Like playing sports? Try a co-ed sports league like softball or kickball. Do you have a favorite good cause? Join a volunteer group for that cause. You can even leverage your profession by attending associations and social groups affiliated with your industry. By doing a little research, you can find groups that get together to do just about anything you can think of, from book clubs to investment groups to supper clubs. At the very least, by getting involved in your community you will make friends and become an even more interesting person to attract an equally interesting mate!
Another idea to find romance is to pay attention to your surroundings as you go through your day, and to alter your routine often so that you will come across different people all the time. We are all busy people, and many of us tend to walk through our days on auto-pilot without noticing all the people around us. As you ride the rail to work, grab lunch at your favorite restaurant, or walk your dog through the park, pay attention to the possibilities that surround you. There are potential dates everywhere! Also, if you take a break from the same old burger joint or neighborhood bar and try somewhere new, you might be surprised by who you meet there.
