How Far Are You Willing To Go To Get Attention?

Published by laurenr at 6:32 pm under Meeting Singles Edit This

Chances are you’ve known one or two of these people sometime in your life either when you were a teenager or as an adult. The girls are in such short skirts that if they bend over a few centimeters the world will see everything and the guys are doing the side to side groin swivel dance right in front of their girl of prey giving them the hooded eye glance.

In case you haven’t realized by now, I’m not really fond of the garbage pickup lines, so I’m definitely not going to be fond of stupid ploys to get someone else’s attention. The best way to (positively) get someone else’s attention instead of showing off is by giving them a glance, a look from across the room. I remember this guy who got my attention one time when I was younger and at a club. The guy was an excellent dancer, the kind you stop and stare at. He had the floor, he was dead center. I was standing at the side, talking with my girl friends. This guy gave me a look and caught my eye. A few minutes later as I was turned talking to my girl friends, he comes over in the middle of his “routine” grabs my hand and kisses it and asks me to wait for him later. Almost instantly my girl friends and I gave each other a look. We had the same thought- Suave. So how many times has he done that before?

There are plenty of people out there that feel as though the (excessively) revealing clothing and shaking their butt in front of strangers is going to get their attention. There are also those that feel that suave moves and a player facade will get you attention. It may get you the attention, but not the attention that you want. You won’t be taken seriously. When you think that you’re getting the other persons attention, chances are they’re really thinking of how they could never date you.

Be yourself. Introduce yourself and give the other person a sincere look of interest. That alone will score more points then you could imagine.

    Great advice! I definitely agree — showing off your body may give you attention, but in the end, it’s probably not the attention you’d want (definitely not the attention *I’d* want anyway!). Being yourself and being generally interested in another person is great advice. Being genuine I think is really rare today, so people really notice it when someone is sincere!

    By the way, thanks for your comment on my blog! I’ll definitely be back to visit you, and I hope you come back and visit me as well. :)
