Summer dating tips for people who are newly single

No matter the reason of a relationship coming to an end, inevitably everyone requires a mourning period. It is the period where each of us searches to find ourselves once again, while attempting to give closure to a chapter of our lives. No matter the process, and as all romantic comedies promise, summer is always the ideal season to go on that enlightening journey.

Jumping back into this crazy scene can be very scary, but one must always keep in mind that the anything worth while always takes work. There is so much that dating can offer you; only the excitement of the possibilities out there should be enough to motivate you. And being rusty because you’ve been out of the game for a long time is not an excuse; human interaction has always been the same and the laws of relationships pretty much haven’t changed since the 60’s.

Firstly, be sure that you have worked out in your mind all that went wrong in your previous relationship. Baggage can be most deadly and counter productive. Even if a relationship is not what one seeks, it can prevent you from living spectacular moments with other individuals.  Such baggage is what creates generalizations, such as ‘men are cheaters’ or ‘women are manipulative’.  Imagine meeting the most promising individual and you are unable to proceed only because you predisposed yourself into thinking negatively, yes, you missed the person of your dreams.

Secondly, do whatever necessary to feel like a sexual being. If you’re a woman, wax, do your hair and make-up, wear sexy lingerie. If you’re a man, shave, get a hair cut. Listen to music that motivates you, feel empowered. Remember, sexuality is in attitude. Think it, Feel it, Be it!

Now, you are mentally and physically ready to meet some people. Take your close friends and go out. But it is crucial to go to places where mingling is possible. The movies, for instance will not do. A bar, café, nightclub are one way to go but there are so many possibilities. For instance, you can join a gym where you are sure to meet healthy individuals, or you can sign up for a class. Meeting someone with the same interests also provides you a good basis for conversation.

The great thing of starting to date in the summer is the beach. The beach offers a great amount of possibility. Play beach volleyball or go sit in the bar and enjoy a cocktail. Under the sun on a great day almost everybody is in a good mood, making the dating scene so fun and fresh.

Key is to not be scared of rejection, just do it. If you see someone who you want to go out with, just ask them out to dinner, or for a cup of coffee. The best way to think of it is, that maybe they too are scared; if we all gave into our fears, we would all be single. The worst thing that can happen is someone saying no and you continue your epic journey of meeting new and exciting people.
