"Nobody wants to go through life alone and today we're going to be talking about how to find a boyfriend. Hi. I'm Joe Cuenco and I'm with Family Resources. Dating has changed in the twenty-first century. It's not unusual for a woman to come up and ask you for your phone number, your email address, say "hey, can we have a cup of coffee at Starbucks" or have a glass of wine, have some lunch. It's really changed from the way things were. Some of the other less offensive ways to meet somebody, or get a boyfriend, would be to maybe ask a group of your coworkers together and go to a baseball game, or bowling, or to some theater or whatever, and it's an opportunity for you to go ahead and get acquainted basically in a non-affrontive way. Get to know one another as friends and then your relationship can progress from there. I actually had a woman that I hired for professional services and she sent me a letter and said "now that our work is done, would you have dinner with me at some point in time." She said if you do great, if you don't then I'll just assume that you didn't get the letter. Anyway, that was an interesting style. I was at a restaurant the other day and watched this young lady walk across the room to the table right next to me and she asked the gentleman for if she could use his menu. I'm assuming that she had a menu at her table, but that was just her style to go ahead and get attention and actually that was a way that things started to work for them. Another way is to actually leverage your friends. I mean your friends know your personality. Your friends have a big network, hopefully, of people that they know and they know exactly what you're looking for. So utilize your friends to help you find that special person. The thing about it is if you don't ask somebody to the dance floor you're never going to get a chance to actually dance. So therefore, use some different styles, use these new techniques, and use some old techniques and that's a way to find a boyfriend. I'm Joe Cuenco. For Family Resources, Relationships for Life."
