Shy singles often avoid the meeting to avoid rejection. You hired a matchmaker, now meet All of your matches!!!

Meetings should be short and safe. Shy singles can easily pass up meeting the other person. No meeting, no rejection. If you have been matched, meet! Don't hide behind your shyness.

Meet

You hired a matchmaker. Now meet the singles the matchmaker sends you. Meet all of these singles as they represent a personal matchmaker's choices for you.

You joined an internet matchmaking service. Now meet most of the singles the computer sends you. Here you will be more selective, but it is still important to meet most of these people.

Why?

It is easier not to meet than to meet. If you don't meet, you don't risk rejection.

You also don't get anywhere in the world of "couples."

Meet.

You are not going to overcome your shyness until you start meeting some singles.

Meetings can and should be short--lunch, coffee, ice cream, one drink.

Short meetings allow you a ready escape if the meeting is going nowhere or if you feel rejected.

Meetings should have a definite beginning and ending. Set another date if the meeting is successful.

Just meet.

Safety

Meetings should follow the rules of singles' safety: meet in a public place, two cars, do not leave together, and do not divulge addresses or other personal information so soon in a potential relationship.

Short meetings allow shy singles a ready escape if the meeting is going nowhere or if you feel rejected.

And let someone know where you are going, who you will be with, and what time to expect you to return.

Tip: When chemistry is high, you are more likely to abandon caution. Be most cautious when chemistry is highest!
