Get yourself out there this summer and find that special someone 
When is the best season to try to meet someone? I don't have a lot of time to go out, so it would help me to know when the best odds are of meeting people?
Thanks, 

Pete

Dear Pete,

Summer time is the best time of year to meet people, I’m asked this question all the time. The reason why is very simple...more people are out and about in the summer months, thus giving us more opportunities to meet people. There are also many more exciting things to do with the nice weather upon us. Here are some fun examples of how single people can try to meet other single people in the summer.

-Join a beach volleyball league.You don’t even have to be good at the sport. Many leagues have all different levels of experience. Usually the costs are also very reasonable. Even if you don’t meet your soul mate, at least you’ll be outside, enjoying the fresh air and getting exercise. You might even meet a bunch of new friends, and then you’ll meet their friends.

-Then there's always walking the Jones Beach boardwalk. I see many singles there each weekend, as I am there myself enjoying the exercise and atmosphere.

-Another good idea is to join a cooking class. Cooking is “hot” this season. If you don’t know how to prepare an exotic meal, now is the perfect time to learn. Many singles enjoy learning how to cook.

-Can you ballroom dance? This is a perfect place to meet singles, any time of the year.

-Have an outdoor party at your house and ask each of your friends to bring “one single friend.”

Make sure you take the time this summer to get yourself “out there."

Thanks for writing in.
