Going to a club, friend or family party will give you the opportunity to meet new people, including single people as well. If it is a pool party, you can show off your bathing suit and swimming skills to the person you are interested in!

2.  Go to a popular restaurant

If you go to a popular restaurant you are guaranteed to meet some single men and women, especially during certain hours like during lunch time, or dinner.  If you don't know how to approach someone at a restaurant just give them some slight eye contact, and make some conversation.

3. Plan a beach trip with your friends (and tell them to bring along some single people)

Planning a beach trip with your friends, and asking them to bring some single friends along with them, is a perfect way to start getting into the dating scene again. Going to the beach is usually an all day type of trip and when your friends are in the water, you can make your move on the cutie you had your eyes glued to!

4. Reach out to people on social networks(after you met them in person at least once)
Reconnecting with someone that you like through a social network like Twitter, or Facebook is wonderful because you can get to know how social they are. You can also look at their pictures to see what activities they enjoy doing, and etc.

5. Go work out at the gym, or park
Working out is not only an excuse to get your body looking and feeling right, but is also a great method for meeting new people! At the gym you are bound to run into a couple of attractive single people and you also have a bigger chance in developing a conversation with them if you work on the same equipment.

In order to meet someone at the park, you have to try and not just focus on your workout, but also on the people around you. Keep your eye out for anyone that is single and working out alone, then make your move, just make sure that they are not too old for you!

Whatever dating tips/advice you follow, just make sure that what you do is safe and that the person turns out to be a well rounded nice individual!
