Romance is in the air and there are lots of ways you can boost your chances of finding a new partner

-

first move and take action. Contact someone you like rather than waiting to be approached. TRY SOMETHING NEW Change your routine by trying something new. Do something to get you a little out of your usual day-to-day routine.

Even the smallest shifts in routine can inspire you to be open to new opportunit­ies. TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS You won’t be the only single person in your friend’s group, so talk to your pals about what has worked for them. Inspiratio­n can be just around the corner so ask your friends for advice. TRAVEL If you have the time and the money, try to take a trip.

Holidays are a great way to recharge and regroup. Whether travelling solo or with a few friends, pick places buzzing with life for an adventure. DON’T TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY Not every person you meet will be “The One”, so be realistic. Dating should be fun, not a chore so try not to expect too much on a first date. Take each person as they come, without the expectatio­n of meeting the perfect match. It lightens the mood on the date and takes away the pressure, leaving you both to enjoy each other’s company. BE CLEAR ABOUT YOUR EXPECTATIO­NS Chemistry is an unpredicta­ble thing. If you’re not feeling it, don’t drag the night out or lead your date on. Stay true to yourself and be honest with your date. You both deserve to have a great time and letting someone down gently can be the nicest thing you could do. SPEND SOME TIME ON YOURSELF The best things can happen when you least expect them to – so in the meantime make sure you also spend time looking after yourself.

Treating yourself and making sure you are feeling at your best can do wonders.

Go shopping, get a massage, or go for a walk and enjoy the outdoors.

Whatever you decide to do, someone special might be just around the corner waiting for you to bump into them.
