Hoping to meet that special someone? These tips will help you power mingle. One night stand or long term romance, you’ll come home with a fistful of phone numbers for future dates.

Pick the places that work for you. Make sure the scene fits your style. You don't have to go where others go. It doesn’t have to be a bar.
  
Make a game out of it. How many phone numbers do you think you can get in one night? Double that number and give yourself a spa day when you hit your goal. Or, compete with a friend for the cost of going out.

But what do I say to him? Say anything!! Don't hesitate to hit on a guy because you don't know the right thing to say. In fact, don't think at all. If he's interested in you, he'll make it work. Otherwise? Shuffle on.

Get curious. The instant cure for shyness is curiosity. Get creative with your questions.  ‘What do you do?’ gets tiresome.

Make it your own party. Imagine you’re the host. Your job is to introduce people and make sure everyone's having a good time. You can be the center of attention while shining the spotlight on everyone else.

Don't hide out with friends. Tell them you’re out to meet guys and you might slip off at a moment's notice.

Let him know you're interested. Be clear about your intentions. A sure smile or wink will leave him with no doubt.  Any cool straight guy would be flattered.
 
Wear what you know looks good. Ask a friend or even a professional so you’re absolutely confident about your look. Have your “go to” outfit always handy.

But what if he’s with a group of friends? Be bold and insert yourself. Address the guy who seems most open to a new face even if he isn’t the one you’re hot for.

Be up on the latest news. Do your research and have something interesting to say. What are people talking about today? Be ready to share a hip recommendation or two.
