4 Halloween Tricks that Will Treat Your Love Life

Halloween has a history rooted in little kids going house to house in order to get their candy fix, but the fact is Halloween also offers up a great dating opportunity for you single big kids too.

I personally think that Halloween is one of the best days of the year to meet/attract that special someone. The reasons are simple, people are happy, and are inapproachable moods and the costumes give daters a non-threatening specific reason to connect with others around them.

There are many singles out there that just don’t want to put in the time and effort it takes to go out on Halloween and I don’t think you want to be one of them.

This Halloween has a chance to be your best one ever. In my Conscious Dating Programs, I help singles become confident and practice assertiveness as opportunities are never to be missed.

Halloween is one of your biggest opportunities. Not only because you can have a great time, but you have a chance to expand your network of friends and possibly change your love life forever too.

The key for you is to make sure that you put yourself in a position for dating success. So here are my 4 Halloween Costume Tricks that Will Treat Your Love Life.

#1 – Make the Costume Personal

There are so many costume options out there for you to wear, but the most important thing to remember is that you should choose one that plays to your personal interests. It should make you look and feel great so that you can confidently make the rounds at that party or event.

If you love the singer Lady Gaga, dress as her (though may want to avoid the meat dress 🙂 ). As a child if you enjoyed Snow White, dress as her to help find your prince. Whatever it is, when you make it personal it has the dual effect of giving you a conversation piece with prospective daters out there.

#2 – Try to Avoid the Dual Costume or Group Costumes

There’s nothing wrong with joining forces with your friends to dress up for Halloween, but in terms of meeting that special someone, it could have an effect on the number of connections to make.

Your goal is to draw suitors to you directly and to communicate with them to see if there is any chemistry or a connection. When you’re constantly on your friends’ hip and are dressed as a single entity, the attention is brought more to the group and/or other people in your group.

#3 – Should you GO SEXY?

A new survey by the dating site Zoosk.com reveals that 71% of single men are interested in dating someone who wears a super sexy Halloween costume. I think the key here is to realize that sexy costumes only work if it makes you feel comfortable and be confident.

Because there are other studies that indicate that over 50% of men would approach a funny costume too, so make sure that whatever you choose, you own it and love it. I personally would go funny over sexy, but that’s your choice.

#4 – Get Those Digits or Exchange Your Email Contact Early

Halloween parties and events tend to be different than others of its kind, as people like to meander and go from person to person and/or party to party.

Basically, they’re very mobile and fast-moving events for those involved. So if you do meet someone early on in the night, I recommend you to make an effort to exchange those digits or that email your contact right then and there.

It’s ok, to be forward and say, “We may be leaving soon so maybe we could exchange emails” or “I am not sure if I will get a chance to talk to you again tonight so maybe we can meet for coffee sometime?” Dating should be fun, but it’s also about maximizing opportunities so you want to make sure you don’t lose a chance at that Halloween love connection.

And every year Kevin and I throw an Alice in Wonderland Party, here’s a pic of us. Have fun trick or treating out there and got those digits! If you want to learn how to boost your confidence and find lasting love, schedule a Free Relationship Readiness Review with me here.
