Getting the Most from a Singles Party
Connect and then Reconnect

After connecting with someone whether at a singles party, its crucial to get contact information whenever you can so you can possibly make a date for the future.

Exchanging Info at a Singles Party

It's always best to exchange info. If the other person isn't interested enough to give you some contact info -- a phone number or email at least, then can always say, "OK, perhaps I'll see you at another party." and leave it at that.

How to Ask for a Date

A good appraoch is to establish a common interest, like say, a certain band that you both enjoy. Then you might say, "The Groove Thang Band" is playing at XYZ Location next Saturday. Would you like to go? If the other person agrees you can then discuss whether you will go together or just meet there. The date then leads naturally into an exchange of contact information -- ideally a phone number. If you don't have a specific date to suggest, you could say, "May I give you a call some time about getting together for ..... ?"
