New Year's Resolutions for Singles

By now, you've probably started to think of some New Year's Resolutions. Exercise more? Purchase one less latte a week from your favorite cafe?

Well, if you're like most single people, one of those probably has something to do with a new boyfriend or girlfriend.

The talented first date experts at It's Just Lunch Toronto can give you a hand with that last one. But we also have some other suggestions for you to help make 2016 your best year of dating yet!

Here are our Top 3 New Year's Resolutions for Singles:

1) Be open to meeting new people. Smile more. Talk to strangers. Take a leap of faith. It won't hurt, we promise.

2) Be positive about dating and each of your dates.  Dating can sometimes feel like work. Difficult, difficult, lemony difficult work. And sometimes, when we're not in a great headspace about it, we forget to give our dates the benefit of the doubt. Maybe s/he doesn't look exactly like our dream man/woman.  Maybe s/he said something early in the date that was off-putting. Being more positive about dating and each of your dates will earn you more better dates in the long run, guaranteed.

3) Be good to you. Take that class you've always wanted to take, or that dream vacation. Join the club or the gym...  Whatever it is that you've been thinking of/dreaming of that will bring you joy and happiness. You deserve to be happy and self-fulfilled.

Happy New Year!
