Just go out and meet people!

[Anonymous]

Are you looking for a relationship?

Do you dream of having a spouse and children?

Or do you just want to find someone to keep you company for the rest of your life?

If you answer "yes" to any one of these questions, then you've come to the right place! In this article, I am going to show you how to do that.

STEP ONE: GO OUT

Go outside. The first step is to go outside, because you will never meet anyone new if you stay indoors with the people you already know. So, you must go out. When you go out, you must think about safety. Most humans live in dense human enclaves, separated by miles and miles of farmland and natural formations. The likelihood that you will meet a carnivorous predator is very slim, so no, you don't have to arm yourself against carnivores. What you have to watch for is the presence of other humans. Some humans may become your friends/allies; other humans may become your enemies.

Fortunately, some societies have developed a law enforcement agency, and the purpose of the agency is to keep neighborhoods safe. If you ever find yourself in an unsafe situation or emergency, then you may find a local pay phone or borrow a phone from someone else and dial for emergency services and law enforcement to come to the rescue at no cost to you. They are already paid for by taxpayers. Medical emergency services, like the ambulance and hospitalization, are different. Hospitals will bill you for the services. But you are allowed to refuse treatment and accept the consequences, if you feel lucky enough.

For safety, you may go out with someone you already know in the house (i.e. your mother or little brother or dog). If you feel brave enough, then you may just go out solo. But if you don't feel brave, then get a walking buddy. And if you don't have a walking buddy because no one lives with you, then get a weapon. This weapon may be as simple as a fork or switchblade, but it can save your life.

STEP TWO: CHOOSE A LOCATION AND THINK SAFETY

Go to a public location with a lot of humans around. Opt for the school or the workplace. If anyone asks why you carry a fork, then you may simply state that you need the fork to eat food, and the plastic forks in the cafeteria are not of good quality so you use a metal fork instead. Do not say that you need the fork as a defensive weapon, because then some humans will interpret that as an offensive weapon and accuse you of criminal intentions. It may be best to keep your fork in your school backpack, handbag, or purse.

STEP THREE: FIND THE TIME TO SOCIALIZE

At work, you are paid for doing the duties listed on your job description. However, you may have lunchtime or after-work time to chat with your co-workers. If you and a co-worker just happen to be in the same room at the same time, then you may greet that person with a "Hi" and a smile. Your tone of voice must be very cheerful and outgoing. If your tone of voice is not cheerful or outgoing and you have an unhappy expression, then people may not be willing to talk to you.

STEP FOUR: BE LIGHT-HEARTED

Talk about a light topic. The topic must be light. If the topic is too controversial, then any disagreement that arises may cause the other person to dislike you. Refrain from controversial topics until you know that person's nature. In the beginning of a potential relationship, you may talk about the weather or comment on the food. Comments should be positive. If you see that the other person is eating deep-fried chicken drumsticks with soggy green beans and soda and realize that the food is very unhealthy, then do not comment on the unhealthiness of the meal. A relationship is not about you. A relationship is about getting the other person to like you. And you will never be liked, if you make negative comments so bluntly. One requirement in a relationship is to be sensitive to other people's feelings. The truth is, feelings are not rational. There is no "why" somebody is offended. But when a person is offended, that person will not like you and will regard as an enemy. Do you want an enemy? If that answer is no, then you should avoid causing offense as much as possible.

STEP FIVE: DEPARTURE

Any conversation cannot last forever. If you want to socialize with that person in the future, then you and that other person may exchange phone numbers and e-mail addresses.

Step 3 is the only thing I struggle with when it comes to dating. I socialize with people, but I become shy if i want to approach a girl with the intention of dating. And nothing ever develops into a relationship after becoming friends with a girl. They choose another guy.

Dude, you are 17 years old. Relax. Not finding a date partner should be the least of your worries at this time of your life. Instead, your education and career goals should be valued much more highly. With a solid career in place, you can then think about dating and marriage. :)

Also, as a male, age is not important. You can begin dating as a 30-year-old or 40-year-old virgin, if you want. :D

I could write another hole mytake on what's wrong with all that lol. But basically easier said than done to sum it all up. But you've got the right idea, good intentions.

Write it. You may be promoted/featured and get Xper points, which in turn can be accumulated to buy Amazon gift cards. :)
