Psst! Looking to make a connection this summer? Then check out our totally fool-proof list for some great ideas.
The park.
Here's a place where you can bring popsicles, sunscreen and a frisbee. If your date turns out to be a total disaster, at least you'll have a great tan. Single gals should bring their dog (or borrow one) to maximize their visibility and to help strike up a conversation with the rollerblading hottie at the drinking fountain. My dog has introduced me to many interesting people.Take a summer course.
Okay, okay, so the last thing you want to do this summer is think about school or academic upgrades. However, there are benefits. You increase your opportunity to hook up with someone who shares similar interests as you, who likes to try new things and who is intelligent - you may have noticed that there is a shortage of men in the last category. Picture yourself making fondue with the hottie in that gourmet cooking class you've had your eyes on. As for me, I will be brushing up on my pathetic Espanol starting next week.Take a trip.
Whether it's a week in Vancouver or a weekend in Montreal, take to time to unwind and let loose in another city where no one will remember you if you get drunk, attempt to impress a guy with a reenactment of the kiss scene in Spiderman and fall in the fountain. Hypothetically speaking, of course, I wouldn't know. But, I SUPPOSE that even though he won't be calling you back, his even-cuter friend will.Declare to your friends that you do not want a relationship for a long while.
According to Murphy's Law, an incredibly wonderful man will appear on the scene within a few days.Pool hopping.
This sneaky little excursion works best when you "forget" your bathing suit and "discover" that the only pool you know of that is accessible at 3:00 AM just so happens to belong to your ex.Patio.
Queen Street West. Need I say more?The beach.
Yes, it is a cheesy meat market scene. Yes, it works.Pubs and clubs.
The worst thing you can do is plan to go to a certain club or pub. You are more likely to have a blast if you just head out to the club district or walk down any main street in Toronto with your eyes and ears open. Let the music and the atmosphere of the places you pass decide where you end up that night.Camping.
It's like pub hopping as you go from one happening campsite to the next - except there's no cover charge and more mosquitoes.Smile.
Wherever you go and whatever you do, if you smile and make eye contact with people, you will appear friendly, approachable and confident. ¤ Meredith
