Meeting someone new can be the highlight of the day. It can also be a nerve-wracking moment as well. There may be mixed expectations, and the actual moment of interaction may be harder than initially realized.<\/p>\n

So how do you introduce yourself to someone new? You’ve done it a thousand times already, so you have the practice. We just want to recommend a few do’s and don’t’s to go along with your approach.<\/p>\n

Do<\/strong> be courteous and kind. Show that you appreciate them and their time.<\/p>\n

Don’t<\/strong> talk about yourself. Too much.<\/p>\n

Do<\/strong> ask questions. You’re there to learn about them.<\/p>\n

Don’t<\/strong> make comments that are hard to reply to.<\/p>\n

Do\u00a0<\/strong>use humor!<\/p>\n

Once your introduction goes off without a hitch, you’ll be ready to keep talking.<\/p>\n

When you’re ready for that first date, we have some advice for that night too. <\/a>Good luck meeting your new matches!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
