It’s a Saturday night. You know all your loved-up friends are snuggled up on the lounge with their man and you can hardly bring yourself to even think about wearing anything other than flannelette pyjamas. So, you opt to spend yet another weekend home alone watching DVDs and finish the week feeling lonely and low. Sound familiar?
Dr Gian Gonzaga, eHarmony’s relationship expert says “the winter blues is something that can be overcome by simply changing a few habits and altering your day-to-day routine.”
The single girls at Rescu. have come up with a few suggestions to help you follow Dr Gonzaga’s suggestions
Employ new methods to find that perfect man
Ever feel like you are dating the same guy over and over? It could be all about location. Change things up and you will find a refreshing new mix of people. Don’t be afraid to try online dating sites like eHarmony, their compatibility matching system makes it more likely you will avoid the bad dates.
Upgrade your workout routine
It’s near impossible to get motivated to work out during winter, especially if you’re stuck in the same ‘30 minutes weights, 30 minutes cardio’ routine that you’ve been in for years. Change things up and not only will you find yourself more motivated but your fitness will increase and you have the opportunity to meet a whole new group of people. Try Zumba, a workout incorporating latin dance. It’s a sure-fire way to keep warm through winter and get yourself bikini-ready.
Go speed-dating
RSVP has a huge range of speed-dating parties that are themed and specify age groups. Heading to one of these events is the perfect way to meet a bunch of single-and-looking people. Check out RSVP’s event page for a bunch of events in your area.
Spend time alone and spoil yourself
So often we are so busy wishing for something we don’t have that we forget to enjoy what’s right in front of us. Don’t be afraid to go the movies, out to a meal or to an art gallery by yourself, it is far less scary than you would imagine! Rather than suffer the winter wishing you had a partner, take advantage of the fact that you, in the words of Jason Derulo, are riding solo.
At Rescu. we believe in making the most of every moment so go out, enjoy yourself and make this winter one to remember before you’ve wasted a quarter of the year curled up on the lounge.
