Just because school is over doesn't mean you have to stop meeting cute guys every day. If you hit the right spots and know how to work a hot summer outfit you can meet plenty of beaus. Whether you're back home, working, or staying at school over the summer, you can meet cute guys during the next few months by following these 6 tips.
Go for evening walks
Don't be down in the dumps because you're bored at home. Your town is probably full of hotties, and you don't even know it. Even if you don't live in a huge, bustling town, young college-age guys are always taking summer trips—and one of their stops may just be where you live. Go for walks sometimes, you just might meet some cute guys.
Make the most of the outdoor party scene.
Go to every available cook-out, birthday parties, reunions, events in town, backyard get-together, weekend BBQ – the list goes on. Summer is prime time for this sort of family, friend, and neighbourhood event. If you're invited, go. Make an appearance in your cute new summer dress or shorts-and-wedges outfit; you never know who you'll meet. That annoying neighbour next door may actually have a cute brother. Or cousin. Take her up on that offer for drinks or dinner with her family next time. Just in case.
If you're staying at school
First of all, keep your eyes out for athletes – they're crawling on university campuses during the summer. Secondly, there might be fewer guys around, but there are fewer girls, too – so if you're looking at ratios, the game's still on.
Go where the sports are.
Hit up the tennis and basketball courts, the golf course, or the fitness club in your area. Dudes love waking up early, putting on a polo (it's a golf course rule to dress up a little). Sports are the perfect make-me-feel-like-a-hotshot guy activities. What could be a better time to do a little flirting than when he's feeling confident and strong and is in his best well-dressed gear? It doesn't matter if you've never picked up a club (or racquet) before either—guys love to teach. When you get to the clubhouse to get balls, ask about a lesson. Nine times out of 10 you'll get a 22 year-old hottie who's home for the summer to coach. I won't say I told you so. No golfing greens or athletic clubs? There'll be sporty boys at the gym, too.
Work at the local hotspot.
You know those town favorites that turn into meeting grounds during the summer months? Maybe it's the mall or a cafe These are the hangouts for locals, and people are generally in a feel-good, chatty mood when they stop by. Get hired at one of those and you'll be sure to exchange a few numbers. Give a smile to any cutie you serve; he might come back just for a chat (hopefully he leaves a tip)! This works both ways, too – visit these local places to see what cuties are working there this summer.
It might not be a "hotspot," but an outdoorsy or workout-related store will also do wonders. Try an active apparel store. We can guarantee that more than one 20-something guy will walk through those doors.
Find everyone's weekend go-to.
In Lagos, some of these go-to spots are the movies, a mall. Find out the equivalent of this in your city. You want a spot where, on sunny weekend days, everyone gathers to hang out, have mini parties, etc. Grab a few friends, go to a go-to spot. Pick a spot near your next guy target or let him come to you. If you don't get a number, at least you'll enjoy the sunshine! Don't switch up your location every weekend, though (sure, every once in a while is OK). Maybe that guy who spent all afternoon eyeing you will go back next weekend hoping you'll be there – so you better be!
There are so many other ways and places to meet cute guys than the ones we've listed here. Wherever you are this summer, the most important first step is to leave your house or apartment. You'll never meet a man if you're just watching movies alone, waiting for him to arrive!
PS: guys could also take a cue from here too *winks*
