One qualifier... in Conscious
Dating a "fun" date
is recreational dating, the purpose of which is to have fun, not find a
long term partner, therefore anyone fun qualifies.Therefore, you don't
need to carefully choose someone who is highly aligned with your
requirements and highly attractive to you. The hard part of recreational
dating is keeping it fun and not getting involved. Believe it or not, it's
easiest to do this with someone that clearly is not a good match for you!
With that qualifier in mind here are some ideas-
1. Date your Ex
Got your attention? It's not as crazy as you might
think! If you have a cordial relationship with an ex, why not? You know
each other well and know how to have fun together.
2. Date out of your league
We get so focused on finding "the one," wouldn't it be
fun to take a break and date someone significantly older or younger, of a
different race or gender, etc, than usual? Recreational dating is easiest
when it's with people we clearly wouldn't choose for long term, so how
about dating someone dramatically different from your usual pattern?
3. Post a contest on Craig's List
"Win a date with me!" contest. Entrants submit a
description of what they propose to do on their date with you, and you
choose the one that seems the most fun. DO NOT use this strategy for
anything other than recreational dating! (see above).
4. Date a "loser"
Search personal ads for the most pathetic lost soul you
can find who would be happy to go out for a little fun and let loose,
knowing it's a one-time thing. Someone who you wouldn't ordinarily
consider dating in a million years. Who knows? You might have fun and
learn something about yourself and the human race.
5. Date a family member or friend
Wouldn't it be nice to have fun with one of your kids,
your brother or sister, mother or father, or a friend? Take this
opportunity to get to have fun with them and get to know them better by
breaking your usual pattern with them and go out to a dinner and play,
etc.
No need to be alone during the holidays or at any other
time if you're not picky. If you're lonely, use these strategies to have
fun!
Want More Than "Fun?"
If these strategies don't appeal to you and you want
more than fun, you want a relationship, then take care of yourself by not
settling for less and continue your quest for your life partner. In the
meantime, I recommend spending quality time with your family and friends,
and perhaps widening your social circle by making new friends. Not only
will this help you get your social and emotional needs met while you're
single, but here's a secret... most people meet their soul mate through
someone they already know!
Happy Holidays and my best wishes in your journey to
live the life you love with the love of your life.
