I love Halloween!  The whole idea of dressing up in costumes and going out to parties can be so much fun –even for you shy, introverted people out there!  You will find people are relaxed, happy and friendly.  So when my clients come to me and we discuss where they can they meet people, the discussion of Halloween parties comes up this time of year.

First you have to find an appropriate party.   Perhaps you have a group of friends throwing the party so you will know some people.   If you had some time to plan, I would suggest you put together a party yourself with a group of your friends where everyone invites a bunch of people they know.

Next, there are singles groups and activity groups that may have a party.  I always enjoyed going to the Ski Club of Washington’s Halloween party.   If you go to a group’s event, you want to make sure it’s age appropriate for you.   Some of the divorce groups like Parents without Partners may have a party that includes the kids, as well.  Or perhaps there is a Halloween dance that everyone is dressed up for.

The key is to have a fun, cute, sexy (especially if you are a woman) costume.  Costumes that are creative get lots of attention.  It doesn’t have to be expensive.  One guy came as a running joke and wore a track suit with jokes written on paper pinned to him.  I had fun reading his jokes.  It gave me a reason to talk to him.  Costumes show your playful side- isn’t that what many people are looking for in a mate?

So find yourself a party this weekend and create wonderful memories. I know several couples who have met at a Halloween party.    Try it and you will find that Halloween is one of the easiest times of the year to meet new people.

Have a howling Halloween!
