Snow O’clock - London Jan 6, 2010.
It’s snowing. And even when it’s not snowing, it’s reportedly the coldest winter that Britain’s ever seen. So where does that leave those who are looking for some love action in 2010? I’ll tell you where – it leaves you with loads of opportunities to go forth, frolic and…shop!
Because really, besides hanging out building snowmen, or making snow angels, where is the most obvious place to go when the world is covered in a white blanket? Besides the pub! Well, how about hitting the High St? It makes sense doesn’t it? Firstly for a well deserved dose of post Christmas retail therapy (and taking advantage of the sales of course). Secondly, because there will be thousands of others there. Thirdly, because it’s fun and most of all, it’s warm!
OK, so here’s the plan:
Step 1. Make sure your attempt to stay warm with layer upon layer, hats, scarves and coats doesn’t result in you looking like a thug, or a homeless person. Dress to impress while staying warm. Keep in mind the OTT heating once you’re in the shopping centre and wear garments that are easy to shed without going through an entire wardrobe malfunction.
Step 2. Use the snow as a means of meeting new people. Walk slowly and purposefully (ostensibly so you don’t slip and slide all over the place) but also because it will give you time to check out the talent and give them a smile. Oh go on. It’s snowing. It’s novel. It’s worth a smile!!
Step 3. Use the topic of the snow as the ultimate ice-breaker to base a conversation around. It really couldn’t be easier. If you find yourself standing side by side with someone you think you could love, or at a pinch have some fun with, just ease into a conversation. Ask if they’ve ever built a snowman; whether they’re a skier or a snowboarder; have they tried tobogganing? Have your own snow story nestled up your sleeve so you get the banter heated up in no time at all.
Step 4. Be adventurous – try loads of different shops that you wouldn’t normally be seen dead in, anything so long as you don’t spend all your time at your local. Guys, hit the unisex shops, like H & M, Topshop and Gap – likewise for girls.
Step 5. Make a purchase early in the quest so you look like a credible shopper and not a stalker.
Step 6. Have a list of questions at the ready for when you spot that cutie. For example, “Excuse me: I’m looking for a belated Xmas present for my brother/sister – as a guy/girl – can I get your opinion on this please…”
Step 7. Look happy. Yes we’re in a recession. Yes it’s snowing, but you’re still alive. You’re still able to get out there amongst it. You still have your hopes and your dreams. Let your face reflect that and don’t be looking sour or grim. Just smile and watch how quickly you become a babe or babe magnet!
