Would You Date Yourself?
Chances are if you said no to this introductory question, then you should be asking yourself why and what you can do to improve yourself to make yourself more dateable.
Happiness
If you permeate your surroundings with unhappiness then chances are you are not too much fun to be around and will only do the same to anyone around you. The fact that you 'suck the life' out of people may be a good indication to dive a little deeper into the reasons of why you are so unhappy before you entertain the idea of dating. Make sure you are emotionally ready to share your thoughts and emotions with someone and make sure they are not overly full of hatred or general unkindness - this makes no one attractive to anyone.
Aspire
The fact that you may or not be a successful person is usually up to the person judging that but if you dream and aspire for an improvement of some sort - it shows people that you are always looking for improvements in yourself and you look forward to things. This is a positive thing. Like being in a kid in a candy store when you finally receive that nomination that you were looking for having the top producing sales record at your job is a great thing, you are showing that you are not only proud of yourself but that you build yourself up towards growing as a person.
Financially Independent
Well this is certainly easier said than done we know, but what we mean is the fact that you are able to afford simple things in life. I mean let's face it, would you be attracted to someone on social assistance that has not had employment for a number of years or something to that matter? Well, that's the extreme, but we mean financially independent to the point that you are able to enjoy some dates while maybe paying for them, or even a quick little get a way or some flowers to go along with it. These are all things that make your potential dater happier, you happier and your total aura more enjoyable.
What do you do besides work?
We all seem to get so tied up in working at times and concentrating on our careers that we forget that we are another person besides the 'work person'. Don't let work become your life; this is a boring person and a person who has lost track of themselves. Have some hobbies, have a reason to leave work…"sorry, got to go, I have a hockey game" is the greatest thing to do for yourself to help you unwind from your professional day or have drinks with friends is a good way to show your mate that you are not dependent on them for your daily entertainment. This makes you a more rounded and interesting person that has something else to tell someone about themselves besides their profession.
Give yourself a personality test?
It's pretty obvious that the majority of people enjoy being around cheerful people themselves, so why not make yourself that person? A person that is negative towards people with comments and sarcasm no matter if it is true or not starts to wear on peoples nerves. No one wants a 'downer' in a social yet happy atmosphere so try your best to not be. Put on a happy face, talk freely and enjoy your date and the others you may be around. People remember those that are always upbeat and social more than those that did not stand out.
Look Attractive
You don't have to be a model for this one. No matter what you look like, there is obviously a certain way to carry yourself. When someone exuberates confidence, personality and social skills - people enjoy their company and tend to loosen up as well. I am not saying you need surgery to make yourself more attractive, just essential dressing skills - if you look good in jeans wear them, the same goes for just about anything, besides perhaps your pajamas - leave them for when your date and you become a little well known to each other.
Do your hair the way it looks best, wear a smashing outfit and smile away - once people see you and how you carry yourself - you will be amazed at the glare that comes off of a person.
Be yourself
Do not try and be the person that you think everyone wants. You may like a certain thing and a particular way but that doesn't mean that your taste is shared with everyone. Again with the confidence…someone that is trying to act like someone else is going to be questioning themselves with every word and will look more uncomfortable and unnatural than someone that is shining their true self through and though. Ask your date if they like you the way you are if you are being yourself, you will probably be surprised that the answer is yes.
