How To Make A Singles Dinner Interesting And Exciting
© David Newton Friday, March 12, 2010


If like to attend singles social dinners like I do, its important to know how to handle yourself and the conversation at the dinner event.

After years of going to many dinner events, I’ve formulated these tips to give you a head start in creating friendships on the night.

• Get yourself in the right frame of mind – before you leave home, make sure you are heading out to dinner thinking and feeling up beat. Play some uplifting music, hear a motivational audio from Tony Robbins or similar as this will help you with your attitude towards yourself and others.

• Dress in your best – a part of being in an up state of mind is to be dressed well. If you look good, it mostly follows you’ll feel great too.

• Look for the best in others – often people at singles dinners can tend to be judgmental and make up their minds too fast when they sit down to a group of strangers. This often means they give up early in the conversation and resign from really trying to get to know others at the table. You on the other hand need to be the opposite of this and see the good in those attending.

• If you have business cards bring them along – at the least bring a pen and your note pad be prepared to meet people, that’s why you’re there right? The moment is often lost if you think of asking for a name and number after the event – so cease the day and get in early.

• Conversation starters – always begin on an optimistic note. Make a compliment about how someone is dressed or their smile. Ask about their interests and what they did on their last holidays away.

• What NOT to talk about over a singles dinner – often people shoot themselves in the feet and kill off the group’s outlook by using dead conversational topics – avoid these – putting down singles clubs and other people – talk about politics either good or bad – don’t talk about sex – and don’t ask other peoples income or size of their home or how much they earn at the job they have. These are all judgmental topics.

• On top of that, don’t talk about past relationships or putting down the opposite sex. This is the least conducive to meeting new people. These people are here to be uplifted, they are not your relationship counsellors!

• Drink in moderation – if you can’t handle your drink, then singles social dinners are not for you.

• If you’re happy please tell your face about it – a smile can disarm the room and makes people warm to you. Be warm and friendly towards others, give them more than you are expecting and be willing to give to the group. Think outside of yourself for a change.

• Give positive and constructive feedback – people who organize dinner events do a lot of work to put dinners and groups together. Once a dinner is set up there’s not much else that can be done. You on the other hand, have something to contribute to the group, so when you give any feedback, remember you are a part of the equation too.

Remember all dinners are a people affair. A female chef once told me eating is a celebration of life and to enjoy all its ceremony and respect its simplicity. When you go out to a dinner event you don’t need to wear a banner on your head saying “I’m just here to look for a partner” – that will happen automatically if you be a people person and others see you as someone to be great to hang out with. If you look relaxed and show you’re enjoying yourself, you will be attractive to someone special. What’s more you might not even be aware of who you’re appealing to. Keep an open mind and look at all the possibilities.
