A Dating Dilemma Page 2
Public parties are good too, but people are not quite as relaxed. So you have to work a little harder to get through their barriers. Generally, there are a lot of single, available, fun people at these kinds of events. Watch your local paper for theme events in public parks, dances, concerts, parades, and ticketed events. Another fun way to meet is to borrow a puppy. Walk around or sit in a well-trafficed spot that will have a lot of happy people. Few can resist a cute puppy. Conversations begin very comfortably because you can focus on the puppy, and have something easy to talk about. The reason to borrow is because bigger dogs don't have the same effect. Not everyone is a dog lover, but most everyone loves puppies.
The above suggestions make it easy to start conversations because there are built-in interests to get you started. Something to remember: everyone is just as nervous as you are and waiting for someone to get things started. It might as well be you... and maybe a cute puppy.

Never turn down a private party or wedding. It's perfectly acceptable to go without a date and people are comfortable because they know at least the host and/or hostess. People are happy, their hearts are open, and they're feeling festive, which makes them more open and friendly.
