Would You Like To Be A Date Magnet?

Recently, I overheard a group of attractive women talking about how they hadn’t been asked out on a date in months. This got me thinking about how this could be. As I continued to observe these ladies I noticed their attitude was one of “do not approach us!” Yikes!
If you walk into any bookstore and pick up any random title on interpersonal communication, the majority of the books will simply remind you to "always be approachable."
And it’s soooo true! You can’t approach, or be approached by other people unless you have the right attitude.
So, what you’re about to read is a collection of positive, attitude building affirmations developed by Scott Ginsberg, author of “Stick Your Self Out There’ that will help you self-talk your way to being an approachable date magnet.
The Approachability Affirmation
  1. I am an approachable. I can both approach – and be approached by someone I am interested in.
  2. I choose to maintain an approachable attitude. I believe that every encounter is one in which I can learn from.
  3. I feel relaxed. When I engage with others they are put at ease and feel comfortable when talking with me.
  4. I am confident. When I walk into a room, my smile, body language and appearance project happiness, enthusiasm and joy. I’m sure that wherever I go, I will meet new, cool people; I will learn new, cool stuff; and others will be glad they encountered me.
  5. I am a great conversationalist. I ask intriguing, creative, thought provoking questions that give people permission to open up. I am skilled at starting, sustaining, transitioning and exiting conversations.
  6. I am an even greater listener. I listen twice as much as I talk. I’m curious, not judgmental.
  7. I am attractive. The opposite sex is magnetized to me because of my superior attitude, ability to make them smile and willingness to assure that they feel comfortable.
  8. Shyness is not a problem for me. No matter what my friends, parents, teachers or the media say, I can easily and comfortably engage with others over the phone, via email or in person without apprehension.
  9. I have learned to recognize that fear is outweighed by benefit. Although stepping out of my comfort zone might be tough at first, it’s always worth it in the end. And even if I look like an idiot; I know that it’s no big deal, and that I’m better because of it.
LET ME RECOMMEND THIS... I challenge you to read these to yourself every morning for a month. Just try it. See what happens. When you’re done to let me know if you’ve landed a date.
