When you are out, sometimes it’s tough to let guys know you are available. Sure, you’ve got a cute outfit on and you are having a good time, but who knows, the guys may think you are looking special for your boyfriend if they didn’t know any different about you. Women can try a few of these ideas when trying to let guys know they are available.
Wear No Hand Jewelry Wearing no hand jewelry sounds really simple, and it is. Men, just like women, look for the wedding bands and engagement rings to understand if someone is single or taken. Some ring styles are hard to decipher from some of the fashion jewelry women wear all the time. Make it easy on the guys and wear no hand jewelry – why make them wonder? Next time you are out, skip the rings and wear a bracelet.
Talk with Other Guys A good way to show guys you are available is to hang out with other guys. You’d think that you should do the opposite by just talking with your girlfriends, but in reality by talking with the guys, you are showing others that you are open to conversation and meeting new people. Also, if you talk to more than one guy or groups of guys, it demonstrates that you are single and not held down to any one guy. Next time you are out, make the effort to talk to more than just one guy – if you hang out with just one guy all night, other guys who may be interested might think that you are into that one guy, or that he is your boyfriend. It’s all about diversifying your range and seeing what happens.
Try to Avoid Being the Third, Fifth or Seventh Wheel If you truly want guys to know you are available, it might be a good idea to avoid going out with your other friends who are couples all the time. Of course, you enjoy their company and want to hang out with them, but often if people are out in groups that appear to be couples, outsiders will think you are taken, too. It’s worth a try to head out on the town with just your girlfriends every once in awhile and see if it makes a difference. Going out with your single pals may even give you the extra boost of confidence to let guys know you are single by simply approaching them!
Be Flirtatious and Make Eye Contact When trying to let a guy know you are available, be sure to use eye contact and flirting to your advantage. If you are spotting a guy from across the bar, try to make eye contact and hold it – smile, and try not to look away as quickly as you would’ve usually. Once you start talking with him, maintain good eye contact during the conversation and act interested. Try to ask questions and be inquisitive about what he is saying. Also, turn up the flirting a bit by stealing a casual touch here or there or complimenting him. Using these tactics, he is sure to know that you are available.
