Feel like going the statement way?

Feel like going the "statement" way?

This is a trend that revives this age old phrase of "let's give them something to talk about". If you are single and enjoy your single status so much that you have no intention of giving it up anytime soon, but need to silence the annoying rumours about your sexuality or mental state, then you might choose to make your 'statement' now.

While your immediate friends and family will understand your need to be who you want to be -- that you have placed your personal priorities ahead of diving headlong into a serious relationship -- others, like your mum and busybody aunts may think you have issues that you are not expressing.

If you are up to it then, go all out for it! Presumably you will definitely have friends of the opposite sex (or of the same, if this is the message you are sending) that you can rely on. Arrange a 'hot date' in a very public place to make sure word does get around.

Rest assured there is nothing better than the grapevine. Even people who were not at the venue would have heard of it and probably have a better version of what your date was wearing.

Alternatively if you do not have close friends to go out on a date with, you may opt to place 'date me ads' on one of the leading social networking websites like www.facebook.com or www.friendster.com.

This is an option some people have resorted to but do give yourself ample time to actually have a 'screening' session with the candidates or to go out with them at least two or three times before the actual Valentine's Day 'big' date itself.

When posting information about yourself, make sure that you keep it honest and real. There is no need to get far-fetched or silly by claiming to be a Greek God (or Goddess) because the person still has to meet you and it would take you more time and a lot of effort to explain things when you meet, if your description isn't really you at all.

Keeping it real also means that you need to find people within your locality and not somewhere so far off that air tickets would need to be included in the date package.

You know that phrase everyone tells you when it comes to dating - how you must "be yourself"? Well, you better believe it is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Remember that your aim here is to make an impression, not so much for yourself but for others, to see and focus on the fact that you really want them raving on about the good stuff!

This particular dating 'style' also sends a message that you are 'taken' and can rid you of some of the annoying aspects of singlehood, like 'blind date' invitations to parties that you are not interested in.

But do bear in mind when going through with this, that both parties must know where they stand - what to do and what not to do. It would be embarrassing and unnecessary for a misunderstanding to cause an unpleasant scene, one that leaves you with the need of explaining the whole situation.

Love is in the air, just like spring, and it will come to each of us at the right time.
