Developing a Social Life Improves Your Dating and Relationship Success

By Terry Leslie

While men and women differ on this particular topic, a social life is important to both genders. Ironically, more and more men and women both report having great difficulty in the once simple prospect of making friends. Remember how easy it was when we were all young? You stood next to someone on the playground or in line and just asked them if they wanted to be your friend. Once they agreed you were off and running and playing together.

The adult world makes it a little more difficult. Many people report that the majority of the friends either come from their work environment or a hobby interest. If work friends aren”t happening and you don”t have a hobby that is ready to lift off the ground and boost your social life, then you have to go out, meet people, and be ready to exchange information so that you can contact them again.

Workshops and seminars are a really good place to network and sometimes you can make one good friend in these environments, but making friends means going out and finding places where you can hang out, talk to a wide variety of people and going on about your business once you have collected their name and number or email address.

Regardless of their gender, don”t call a brand new friend the next day. Give it a few days to a week before you go charging off to ask them to meet you for coffee or drinks or whatever. There is no need to make up an excuse, just simply tell them that you really enjoyed their company and that you had some free time that you”d like to spend getting together and hanging out. Make it easy for them and they will usually respond with a positive response.

You do have to take a significant amount of time to develop real friendships. You really can”t run out and find a new best friend like you could when you were eight. Instead you have to start showing up to a lot of places, spending time with people individually. Going fishing or sailing or hiking or whatever floats everyone’’s proverbial boat creates a good adventure to get to know two or three new friends at once.

The hardest part about making new friends is realizing that you may have some significant differences. You might need to really take a poll of your inner feelings about some issues, especially those that center around religion or politics. After all, nobody is going to meet all of your criteria. You may find that you like one person more than you originally planned and you might find the person you thought was going to be the greatest friend in the world isn”t going to make any type of friend for you. Relax, be as accepting as possible, and then let the new relationships in your life take on a course of their own. Present yourself as authentically as possible and never be afraid to be who you are.

When you start hanging out with any one particular friend over a period of a few weeks with more regularity, you might decide that you want to meet their friends. This is a simple method of expending your circle and deciding that the person your new friend is talking about sounds like someone worth meeting, and expressing that thought. In most cases, the next time the gang is all heading out to grab a bite to eat together that you will be invited along. Let things unfold naturally and over the period of a few months you will go from no friends to a strong circle of growing friends. And friendships that are really true and strong are worth more than you could ever calculate.

Creative Romance Whether Dating or In A Long Term Relationship

By Terry Leslie

Creative introductions can be really awesome ways to meet women and stand out form the crowd. When you are competing for a woman’’s attention, sometimes going a little toward the humorous and creative can open up doors that you never thought possible. Of course, ever guy has a different definition of what is truly creative and what falls to the wayside. When you tap into your creative juices, think about how it would feel for a woman to be exposed to your particular idea, and reflect upon whether or not it is still rather genuine and sincere.

Being creative might mean introducing yourself with a specially made fake ID or creating a whirlwind of mystery around who you are and what you”re all about. Women do appreciate a little creativity, and when you can stand apart from other guys with your sense of humor, it works really well with the right woman.

Why don”t guys get really creative and offer some women a whole new perspective of who they are and the dating game? Most guys will admit that they are afraid of making themselves look foolish. Looking foolish is something that is only in the eye of the beholder. Looking foolish can also come from holding back and resisting the full participation in any idea. If you are trying to meet a girl who spends every Saturday afternoon at the ice rink and you decide to slap on some skates and try an ultra fresh performance for her, the only way you are going to look foolish is if you hold back. Other than that you can completely expect to be seen as sweet, romantic, and creative.

Maintaining creativity all throughout a romance is important. Creative relationships not only tend to last but are a lot of fun for the parties involved. When you try new ideas and go for new theories when it comes to expressing yourself to a woman, in almost any circumstance you are going to be rewarded not only for the initial effort, but for thought as well. And when a woman is busy rewarding for creative play, she is most definitely willing to go for a little more creative expression herself.

It can be very difficult to read up on how to be creative because it is such a personal idea. Creativity means different things to different people. When you are trying to be creative you are also trying to use part of your brain that you either exercise regularly or hardly ever exercise at all depending on your personality. Some ideas that strike some women as creative and others as just thoughtful can vary as well. If you are sure that you are looking to create some romance in the picture, whether you have just met, barely met at all, or have been together for twenty years, the trick is to find out what she believes is romantically creative and then run with offshoots of what she gives you. Sometimes you have to ask the question outright and sometimes you can figure it out if you are just paying attention.

When you are working toward being really expressive and interesting, challenge yourself to reach new levels of personal involvement. It can be creatively expressive to order up a singing telegram, but it is also very easy to write out a check. It is much more involved to show up in a rented costume and do the singing yourself. Of course, your level of comfort probably will determine how hands on you decide to get. Creative interaction is in part about stretching your boundaries and in part about having a good experience.

Unfortunately, a lot of guys determine all these creative and interesting ways to meet women and then once they feel they have met a woman that they can really connect with and start a relationship with, they drop their creative efforts and don”t pick them back up again unless the relationship falls apart and they are looking to meet another woman. It certainly doesn”t have to work that way and in fact the relationship would work so much better if both parties stayed creatively engaged.

Challenging yourself to come up with new ways of expressing interest in a woman can actually be a lot of fun. You can hit websites, you can make lists, and of course, you can experiment and get her direct opinion. When she is able to tell you what she believes is creative and offers you her own ideas, you know you are developing one of the most important aspect of creating a strong and meaningful relationship fun.

Have fun getting creative, whether it is to meet someone special or to keep someone special. Getting down and pulling out all the stops can be quite a trip for everyone. Don”t be afraid to get silly and don”t be afraid that she thinks you will be silly. If she can”t appreciate how far you”re willing to go then perhaps you need to be seeking out a different type of
