Planning a weekly event could be as simple as inviting friends for a baseball game, or going to a dinner/movie, or going to a show, or the like.

I think a substitute/corollary is attending some sort of group event that isn't necessarily purely entertainment like the above; hiking/biking club, volunteering, etc.

Accepting social invitations I think goes without saying.

And that is going to make him fall in love with me in 90 minutes?

That would depend on the price of the book and the margin included

What about tips for anti-social misanthropes whose only friend lives on the other side of the world? That’s one heck of a weekly commute! *grin*

Of course I am just kidding. But my situation is unique. I have less problems talking to people and more problems with my i.q. dropping 30 points when confronted with a woman I am attracted to in person. I’d be a poor host if my acquaintances brought along a bunch of hawt wimmins. How can you make someone love you in 90 or less if your vocabulary is limited to "uhhh…" and awkward silences? *grin*

Seriously though. Weekly gatherings can be done for some, but not all. Some of us live way out in the country, some have no time or money, some need to work on getting some friends *first*. Not everybody is cut out to be a social networker. It’s a good thought, but not a universal adapter for finding love. Also, the whole schemey title sounds like it was put there to draw interest similar to those "get rich quick!" schemes. It may hold some useful gems- I shan’t judge by the title alone- but based on the advice here *and* the skeevy title I think I’ll stick to my Chandler and Pappas. *grin*

Dearest Ridge Runner,

You are so cute!!! My guess is your IQ would still be in the superior range even if it were to drop 20 points. Find some clubs to join. Go to things. Get on Facebook and go to every event that sounds interesting. I get so many invitations just from Fb. I could be out every single night if that were my style. For someone to find you, you have to peek your head out from under the covers at some time.

Smooches...VL
