Dating in the D: Out of Town Dating
Posted: 3/28/2008

It’s almost spring time. For some of us, it’s just not warm enough. Sounds like its time for a road trip. Just because you’re going out of town though, does not mean that your dating life has to stay in Detroit. You’re going to take your dating life with you and hopefully have some good out of town fun.

The easiest thing about meeting women while you’re out of town is that you have already achieved that aura of mystery because no matter where you travel, there are no fellas that carry the swagger that we do from Detroit. Most women are able to tell that you are not from there because of this and that is your conversation starter.

When meeting women out of town, you want to express to them that you are from out of town, but don’t beat them over the head with it. The worst thing you can say to a woman is that you’re “only going to be in town for two days, so what’s up” unless you plan on going home with only stories about the tourist attractions. A better technique is to find a group of women, kindly excuse yourself and ask where the best place to party this evening is located. Most women will notice that you are from out of town, either by your language use, dress, or swagger –which in our case is usually all of the above- and will be immediately intrigued. Once they learn that you are from Detroit it really peaks their interest, I’m not sure why, but next time you’re out of town try it and you’ll see what I mean.

This will get you two types of women. If this group of women doesn’t necessarily do the club thing, they can still offer some interesting venues to visit for the evening. Once this connection is made then you must invite them out to the venue they suggested that evening. The cool thing about this is that if they suggested the place then they were more than likely going anyway. Exchange numbers with the one in the group who has shown you the most interest and excuse yourself from their conversation. Even when you are traveling with others it is important to make initial contact with the group alone to avoid intimidation. If you’ve traveled with two others and you approach a group of women, they are most likely to have their guards up.

Depending on the length of your out of town visit, you’ll want to meet about three to four groups of ladies each day to give yourself some options as well as room for rejection, because lets face it fellas whether you’re in the D or out of town, nobody is shooting 100%.
