The Rules Revisited
I was once again reminded how important it is to consider how the area you live and the place you work can help or hinder your social life. This includes being able to get out there and meet both men and women. DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO my darlings! Get out there and let yourself be seen. This also applies to where you choose to be seated in any social setting. How many men are able to see you if you choose the seat way in the back or in the corner. Try sitting in the front or middle of the establishment where there is very little to block the line of sight of people entering the building. It may seem uncomfortable at first, but doing this a few times will help. Slow things down a bit as well. Rushing to check your phone every so often, wearing headphones, etc. make you seem unapproachable for potential friends or romantic interests.
This part of the post forced me to evaluate my own habits that could use slight improvement:
"If you spend an hour a day on your laptop at home rather than in a coffee shop or some other public place because none are convenient to you - force yourself out of the house."
Now, how many of us are guilty of being on the laptop for longer than an hour at home? I know I am. I plan on frequenting a few different coffee houses in the near future to maximize my potential for meeting new people as well. Check out this blog when you get the chance. Though it is not geared toward a readership of predominantly young bw, there are a few gems of advice any woman can use as well. Take special care of yourselves Lovelies and stay the Angelic Young BW Determined to Live Well that you are! Ciao!
So glad you brought this up. We need to get out more. A change in environment is always best. And you are right about one thing, the places we live and frequent can have a great impact on our quality of life. I've always known this from a very young age which is why I was so determined to get out of the little village I grew up in.

As a young professional looking to get married, I cannot stress to you how important the points you made are! I have become more proactive in the last year in the art of being seen socially: buying more cocktail dresses, attending fundraisers/community events, going to happy hour specials after work, joining a co-ed gym, and especially blogging in public at various popular cafes in my town. Great post!
