Shared Sundays

Having found my last boyfriend online, I swore this time around I would do my searching ‘offline’ and in the real world. And now, after taking a few months off just for me - I have no idea where to start.

It’s not that I have no clue on how to meet people, it’s just approaching someone is not as easy as it should be. Thankfully, we live in an age of options and there are three schools of thought on how to meet people, all with the same start point and end goal – get out there and meet someone.

While many object to the callous and inhumane practice of rating the opposite sex a number between one and ten most of us do it anyway, and for good reason.

People often date people that have a similar ranking to themselves. You don’t often see a troll with the hottest guy in town, nor do you see the bombshell model dating the overweight guy in accounting. (I got nothing personal against accountants!)

1. Meet One!
2. Ask One Out
3. She Must (without the use of performance enhancing drugs) Say Yes
