Cupid’s Advice:
While we can’t all have The Bachelorette experience, we can still step out of our comfort zones to meet new potential partners. If you’re over swiping on dating apps and being set up with friends of friends, Cupid has some advice for you.
1. Do things alone: While going out with friends might be your default, it’s hard for a new person to approach your group. Taking yourself out can help you meet fun, new people that you normally wouldn’t. If you’re nervous about going out alone, ease into it by bringing a book or a journal with you.

2. Start volunteering: Find a cause your passionate about and volunteer your time. You’ll meet plenty of new people that you already have something in common with. You’ll likely talk to these people while volunteering, so it won’t be as daunting to start a conversation.

3. Walk your (or a friend’s) dog: As weird as it may sound, dogs are a great conversation starter. Going on walks or visiting the park will give you the opportunity to talk to new people. Having a dog will make you seem more approachable. What’s a better excuse to talk to someone than wanting to pet their dog?
