Making a connection means that you are genuinely interested in getting to know people, finding out who they are, what are their interests and passions, and what is the measure of their heart and spirit. It means that even more important than finding someone to date is your drive to create a network of like-minded people with whom to socialize on a regular basis. It means that out of this network you will naturally draw a number of people who will be your close friends and support system, and eventually a Right Partner. Remember that you must practice the kind of skills that build the emotional muscle that is needed to make real connections. Add other ideas of your own to your mental checklist so that you are focused in a way that allows you to always feel success at the end of the evening.
Success breeds more success, and wins build a positive attitude that is infectious.
Remember that we're always drawn to positive people who like themselves, who have fulfilling lives, and who share that energy with others.
