The Soulmate Manifesto: Uniting All Soulmate Believers in an Effort to Solve Dating Your Social Networking Skills Falling in love is a numbers game. The more people you date, the better your odds of finding your soulmate. You meet potential dates by having a large social network. Social networking skills are skills that allow you to expand and maintain friendships. Examples of social networking skills are abilities to initiate a conversion, to follow up on new friends, or to maintain existing friendships. Expanding and maintaining your social network require you to have good etiquette, good hygiene, and communication skills. Insights and Predictions People who have superior social networking skills to meet potential lover may have a harder time falling in love and can afford to be more selective. People who use online dating services are usually more selective because they may feel they have the largest social networks. People will commit when the time, money, and energy spent to expand and maintain their social network become too great. People who are popular can breakup easier than those who are shy. Physically attractive people without social networking skills are worse off than average looking people with superior social networking skills. People who are surrounded by eligible and attractive potential lovers will stay less committed. Tactics to Decrease Social Networking Skills of Love Interest Tell love interest that being shy is a good thing. Prevent love interest from joining an online dating service. Comment that you pity people using online dating services; that those people are so scary and desperate. Clip out news articles about people who have been killed, raped, or molested using online dating service or chat rooms and report them to love interest. Convince love interest that his/her new friends are creeps and are bad for him/her. Tactics to Increase Your Social Networking Skills Join Toastmasters to conquer your fear of public speaking. Conquer your shyness. Become a schmoozer by learning how to make and keep friends. Join an online dating service. Go on many dates as possible and always keep them as friends. < Back Top Next > SPREAD THIS INFORMATION   If you want to help solve dating, please spread the word by clicking below: Be a supporter by joining our mailing list.
