Chained to Your Work? 3 Simple Ways Busy Professional Women Can Attract More Dates
How can busy professional women attract more dates?
You’ve become a different type of love slave. Chained to your work? Good news! You’re about to break FREE. Woohooo!!!
How many times have you said you were too busy to date, yet complained about being lonely, not having a date or being in a great relationship? This is about action. The quality of your life depends on it.
As a single mom and business owner, I understand you! Heck, you’re reading a blog by a woman whose brother used to ask her, “What’s up in the cave?”
A friend of mine complained she wanted to get married and have children, but couldn’t find 15 minutes to answer 3 questions to could craft an online dating profile. Go figure!
I had to ask myself, “How much did she REALLY want it?” Many of my friends and clients have heard me say, “If you’re too lazy to reach across the table for the pepper, then you deserve bland food!”
Now professional women are ANYTHING but lazy! So don’t get me wrong here. However, we tend to be lazy when it comes to our personal lives. Then we turn around and complain about it…or worse yet, suffer in silence!
That said, here are 3 simple ways women on the move can attract more dates with LESS effort:
1) Show your face. Are you buried in your business for days, weeks or months at a time? In a cave, like I used to be? Not good – for you, your business creativity and productivity nor for your love life. I know how challenging (and impossible) it is to try to complete the never-ending list of tasks in a 24-hour day. You need to schedule some ME time, even just a little bit, each week. That’s why we need to break things down in small chunks and order of importance.
So how did I emerge from my “cave”? I followed my business coach’s advice and scheduled at least one day a week for ME time. Do the same – or face burn out and a business slump. Promise me that during this time you will GO OUT somewhere and show your face.
Interact or just people-watch during the day. You could go to a museum, the zoo (yes, I wrote that) or the park to feed the birds. Anywhere people happen to be, just go out! When the sun sets, leave the evening open for “date night”. Make sure it’s the same day and stick with it. That way you’ll have at least one evening you know you can say YES to dinner with that handsome man you met at the charity event you attended.
Still think you’re too strapped for time? Read on…
2) Recycle your efforts. What do I mean? This goes hand-in-hand with showing your face. It means showing your face, socializing AND getting work done. Take breaks and do something you love–in public and where you can get some work done. For example, you can schedule blogging at your local bookstore.
Perhaps you need to listen to a teleseminar and can’t seem to find the time? Download it to your MP3 player and go for a stroll in the park or listen to it a cafe’. This is multi-tasking that actually works: exercise, education and socializing! I’ve had guys ask me what I was listening to and an interesting discussion ensued – over a Chai latte mind you!
Little tweaks to your schedule will do wonders for your creativity, productivity – and social life. Oh! Do keep a pleasant look or smile on your face. No one will even look at you if you are too serious.
3) Create a strong brand. Now this is very important. You can have a great business, wit and smarts to sell, be a killer cook, show your face and NO ONE will care if you look frazzled and frumpy! Renew. Renew. Renew. Enlist a stylist to purge your closet and help you create a unique style.
Don’t go for those “wonder makeovers” that have you looking great–to everyone else, but you don’t feel like YOU. A good stylist will know how to push you just outside your comfort zone without making you into a version of you that is uncomfortable.
Creating your unique style will really make you stand out, feel more confident and even attract people to you in droves – for pleasure and business. This is well worth the financial and time investment, as it only takes a few hours. Do it once and you’re good to go for a while.
“Dating is all about marketing. Show your face, recycle your efforts, create a strong brand and WIN!”
So now what? Whether you just want to go out on some fabulous dates with top-quality men or you are looking for a long-term relationship…your homework for today is to GET STARTED!
As usual – this post is NOT complete without your comments. So, comment away and add your energy to the movement. Also, I challenge you to forward, Tweet or share this anywhere you feel that the other women can be encouraged, enlightened and come into a powerful place of self-love.
Love & magnetism!

Hi, nice article, i see your problem, what you have is what we call a baby look. which means you look WAY younger then you actually are and when woman see you they think their looking. At least you are stimulating some attention! That implies you must be doing something good!
