Be the one to initiate a conversation
“Your mission is simple — it’s to make people feel good, to spread some sunshine and to build community and social contacts,” says matchmaker and dating coach Julie Ferman. Even if things don’t work out on a romantic level, you might get a friend or a business connection through the intro, and you’ll also work on building confidence for when attraction strikes again. “Practice being warm and friendly to everyone who crosses your path. Think of your gym as one of your social centers and utilize it fully.”
