Successful Dating: 6 Ways to Maximize Your Fun

The key to successful dating is to focus on enjoyment and friendship. Dating is meeting interesting people and getting to know them better. That is it. Simple, eh?

Date with the intention of making a new friend rather than expecting to meet the love of your life. You'll have more fun and it will take away some of the unnecessary pressure.  Here's a few other tips for maximizing your fun while in the dating game:

1) Approach dating as not just looking for an important relationship but as enjoying life.

2) View dating as a chance to expand your circle of friends.

3) Find innovative and unusual places to meet people.

4) Take one positive aspect away from each date. Pick a quality or characteristic that you would like in your future mate.

5) Become the person you would like to date. Use your experience as an opportunity for personal growth

6) Embrace your single status. You have the freedom to do anything you want, meet everyone you want and learn everything you can about yourself.

Keep dating light and casual. as you get to know each new person, pay attention to what you are discovering about yourself, what you want in a potential mate and what you need from a relationship. You're still learning and growing. That's what makes life and dating interesting.

Meet Your Match This Summer: Season's Hottest Meet Spots

Meet Your Match This Summer
Now that Victoria Day has come and gone, summer is officially here. Whether you are heading out for a few martinis on the patio with friends, volunteering at the local dog shelter or taking a sunset painting class, your chances of meeting your match increase ten-fold just by getting out of the house.

Warmer temperatures and longer days translate into more options for mix and mingling with potential love interests or your new found crush. Here are a few ideas for getting out and making the most of what the season and your community has to offer:

Yard Sales/Flea Markets/Book Faires
People are clearing out their clutter in the hopes that their mess is someone else's ideal treasure. This is also a great way to mix and mingle with others as you sift through bins of interesting book titles, scraps of fabric or forgotten record stashes.

Wine Tastings & Dinners
Even if you area  wine connoisseur, tastings are a great way to network. Yet again, it is an event that reveals more about our likes and dislikes while encouraging conversation about what our taste buds are experiencing. From field trips to local wineries to an event hosted by a local restaurant, a wine tasting is a great way to mix and mingle with people who share a common love of the fermented grape.

U-Pick Berries
Nothing beats fresh fruit on a hot day. Grab your bucket and head to a nearby farm that allows you to meander through the berry patches.You never know who you may encounter while plucking blueberries of the shrub.

Food Festivals
From fried to gourmet, food festivals offer a taste for our inner foodies while providing the perfect meeting ground for potential love. Bounce from line to line and chat with the hottie standing in front of you. Its a great way to network, mix and mingle while enjoying a new dish.

Volunteering is Sexy
Volunteering is a rewarding way for you to connect with new people who share similar values while doing something positive for your community. You'll also build camaraderie as you work together on projects.  From caring for pups to pulling weeds for the elderly, find a group that inspires you.

Tennis, Anyone?
If you're a sports enthusiast, joining a league or a "learn to" class is the best ways to meet other athletic or sports-centered singles. Socializing after the match or game provides further opportunities to meet and mingle. Golf, tennis and softball are among the best sports to find successful eligible professionals.

Farmers' Markets
Usually held on the weekend, Farmers' Market is an excellent meeting place. Vendors line the sidewalks or grassy areas, selling their fresh produce, fresh baked breads or homemade creations. Its a great chance to discuss the differences between the four varieties of apples or goat versus cow cheese. There are literally thousands of conversation starters available to you. Spot someone you are interested in? Find out what they are browsing and inject your opinion or ask for theirs.

In the end, dating is a numbers game. The more potential mates you meet, the more likely it is that you will find the one. If you are hoping fate drops him/her off at your door, think again.

Getting out the door, saying hello and even starting a conversation with a stranger (although, scary, I know), is the best way to shift the odds into your favor. Summer just offers more options. Lace up your sneaks and head out there. Your one step away from love.

Show How You Feel

It's possible to go a long time in a relationship without saying those three little words. Often, actions speak louder than words and there are many other "little things" that indicate a person's level of affection for one another.

Women tend to respond to the "little things" one does, those tidbits of information that might seem irrelevant to most men but become benchmarks in a woman's relationship. These involve remembering the song that was playing on the radio when you first kissed, her favorite color or flower.

Men respond equally to small gestures. leaving love notes under his pillow or packing  a few protein bars and a vitamin drink in his briefcase before he heads off for a long day at work can be extremely touching to a guy.

You don't have to exceed your credit limit to show your sweetheart that he or she is special to you. In the same respect, "talk is cheap" and you can throw out "I love yous" like plates at a Greek wedding, but in order for the words to really make an impact, they must be backed up with significant action.

It's important to observe the non-verbal clues in a relationship. Determining if someone is right for you lies as much in his or her actions and in what they don't do, as it does in what they say. Telling your girlfriend that you want to spend more time with her and then hitting the golf course on the weekend doesn't measure up.

Pay attention to the special things that touch your honey's heart and make an effort to introduce these into your relationship on a regular basis. It takes effort and mindfulness to create a phenomenal affinity with another person. But in the end, it is worth it.
