Dating: Step your game up
When you find yourself stuck in a dating rut, you probably don’t even realize that you have started to let things slip. Your efforts become less then enthusiastic. You start going through the motions. This is the best time to take a break from dating and focus on something else.
The dating scene in Atlanta is all about image and personality. You want to be able to stand out and make a connection with someone you find attractive. If you are not into it, it definitely comes across as aloof, uninterested, or obnoxious. Sometimes we have to step our game up and become a little more sharp!
Do you ever feel as if you are in a dating rut? What are ways to break out of it?
What are some ways to step your dating game up in flirting, mingling, or approaching someone you are interested in?
Happy Friday!

C~ The baby shower will be awesome. Make sure you guys give me some advance notice so I can add it to my schedule.
Ex~ Nothing to elucidate. It is what it is. He was just….MMMMmmmm MMMMmmm, good. Tall (prob around 6′3″ or 6′4″) choclate even skin, nice suit. smelled good. You know, all the bells and whistles. Great eyes. No wedding ring. Nice hair cut. Great smile. If I was single, I would’ve been after those digits.

CC – I don’t think any planning has been done. We need Swiss to give us the due date (unless I missed it being blogged). That way whoever is planning and do so and send e/invites, allowing for time (shedules) and place of venue.

Now, that’s more like it, Bluz. Just need to take that spunk & channel it toward your real-life dating misadventures, and you’re on the right track.
