How Can You Standout From Other Singles?

How do you stand out from other singles? It’s an important yet difficult thing to do, but without standing out you really can’t project any value. While that’s not the most romantic way of phrasing it, it’s what a lot of dating really comes down to.

Women and men are often faced with the problem of standing out in their single life. The following tips will help you accomplish that though, if you follow through.

Know where you want to be – Too many people don’t know where they’re headed in life and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you want to stand out though and even add some intrigue, it would be good to figure that out for yourself. It won’t come to you over night, but meditate on it a little. Then next time you’re at a singles event and someone asks you “So, what are your goals?” you’ll be able to say something a little deeper than “Get a promotion, get married, have kids…” Not that there’s anything wrong with those, they just don’t have much colour and really aren’t unique to you. Build on them. Be different.

Don’t just be willing to try new things – If you’ve been on enough dates or read a few dozen dating profiles, you’ve no doubt come across the line “Loves to try new things” a heck of a lot. How many of those people actually do try new things though? Be one of the few who are actually open to new experiences and actively seeks them out. This will not only make you a richer person, but it will give you more to talk about; it will likely give you interesting things to talk about.

Take a chance with your wardrobe – Wear what you want, not what you’re told to want. That doesn’t mean to go out in your sweatshirt and joggers because you think they’re comfy. It means to try to look good but on your terms. If you need a place to start, go out shopping and find something that you really like but would normally be steered against. This time buy it and then build an outfit around it. Maybe it’s a hat. Maybe it’s gloves. Maybe it’s a bright flashing button that says “Cool Dude.” The thing to remember is that the only time clothes really don’t work are the times when the person wearing them really doesn’t believe in them.

Highlight your insecurities – Do you talk too much? Point it out and make a joke. Are you shy around new people? Poke fun at yourself. Joking isn’t the only way to highlight your insecurities, but it’s one of the best ways and easiest ways to do it. It also lightens the mood and lets people know they can have fun with you. What this actually accomplishes though is takes the things you normally hide, the things that keep you from meeting new people, and puts them centre stage. It gives you no more reason to hide and it will actually help you be more visible.

What do you do that makes you stand out? What do you wish you could do to stand out? If you have any tips or stories, or any thoughts on the matter at all, all you have to do is click on the link below and add to our comments section.
