Halloween Dating

Follow me on:

I love Halloween and look forward to it every year. An excuse to dress up and act silly, with a built-in reason to talk to strangers, by asking them about their costume? In my mind, it doesn't get much more exciting than that.

Still, it can be a bit stressful to either come up with a unique and fun Halloween date idea or a costume that's appropriate for the two of you [See: Halloween Costume Ideas for Couples]. And what about those of us singles on the hunt for someone interesting? Attracting attention is the first step in the five phases of courtship.

So even though you've got just under two weeks to go, it's time to start thinking about what you'll be doing this Halloween either solo or with your sweetie. What's your plan?

I think Halloween Dating is similar to gothic dating.

Indeed, the dating scene is at one of its hottest during Halloween. Lots men and women who normally wouldn’t go out, make that exception because…hey it comes once a year.

I’ve always wondered if this built-in reason to talk to strangers is only used on those who dress sexy enough to attract the attention. How are women supposed to successfully complete the first phase of courtship and look like the girl you want to call rather than the call girl? I’ve written a bit about Halloween dating and costumes myself at http://bit.ly/dl8EBa and would love to hear your thoughts!

I normally go for hot devil costumes for the guys but so do all the other girls these days. So this year have decided to go for a zombie outfit with blood pouring and an axe coming out of the side of me. I am sure the guys will like it as it is quite gruesome and interesting so should be a conversation starter I am hoping!..

Sounds like a cool way to meet new people. One wonders though why it should be easier to meet people when there is something extraordinary going on like Halloween. I guess that is just human nature. It’s the same in my home town during New Year. Just as the clock strikes 12 midnight. Everyone is suddenly hugging each and then getting to know each other.

Seems like a good reason to get out and mingle, may even get lucky a find a date.
