- Participate in church or school fund-raisers, gatherings,
events, and celebrations. - Even better, help put on church, school, and community
events. - Join the support team at your church. It is always easiest
to get to know people when they are in the mode of service.
They can offer to help and they can ask for help. - Go to places where you are not very competent and need
the assistance of others. - If you are a single parent, get to know all your children’s
friends’ parents. Become friends by sharing the baby-sitting.
Ask them to take your child sometimes; then they will feel
comfortable asking you. Then ask them to adopt you as their
single friend and help you to meet someone. - Volunteer to handle the seating or name tags at a school,
church, or community celebration. This way you get to make
contact with everyone single. - Help out or learn to facilitate a Mars/Venus workshop or
any other singles program and meet people with similar
values. - If you are a Democrat, visit a gathering or rally of Repub-
licans. Let them try to convince you of their point of view.
This makes for great conversation and connection.
