Every weekend, I see dozens of my single friends get dolled up to go out to a local bar. They throw on their favorite outfit and hope that, with a little bit of luck and liquid confidence, they can find the person they've been wanting. But the truth is that all of the luck and liquor on earth isn't going to find them the right connection. So I ask them: "why not head to the gym or sign up for a cooking or art class that interests you instead?" They gaze at me blankly before continuing to get ready, but a ceramics class at the local community center or starting the kettlebell training routine could be the answer to their prayers. You might be thinking: "how could arts and crafts or kettlebell exercises be what I need to find Mr. or Mrs. Right?"
Imagine, for a minute, what it's like for a single person walking into a bar full of strangers. You don't know what you have in common with them - if you have anything at all in common to begin with, that is. It could be an intimidating encounter and at the end of the night, you haven't met anyone with long term potential or you spent all night nursing your drink in isolation in the spot. You should have picked up ceramics or kettlebell training as a replacement.
Now if you want to be serious about trying to improve your dating life, then the gym is the place you need to be at. Instead of being around a bunch of rowdy people, you can have the courage to meet someone who has the same desire as you to be physically fit. While you might not be dressed fancy in a gym instead of a bar, a lot of the pressure is going to be off you when you first encounter him or her. Also, the person is going to view you in a potentially positive light, since you are looking to drop some pounds like they are.
If a step aerobics class or the kettlebell workout isn't for you, select a class that really interests you. If you like the arts, pick up a drawing or ceramics class. Maybe the live model in class will strike your fancy or you can simply meet a fellow fanatic of the arts. (Picture yourself reenacting that scene with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in Ghost.) If you're curious in cooking (or can't cook for your life) look for a potential date in a cooking class and bond over your devotion (or hatred) of a culinary arts.
Remember that chances are that you aren't going to discover the person you're going to commit to in a dimly lit bar. Instead of being surrounded by the smells of a brewery floor and too much perfume, imagine being overcome by the aromas of something enticing at a cooking class. Instead of meeting someone whose judgment is weakened by one drink too many, meet someone to share your endorphin high after great workout. After all, if you're interested in cooking, art, or kettlebell training - isn't it ideal to find someone who shares that eagerness?
