Since it’s Friday, and mentally, you’ve probably already packed your bags and are halfway home on the bus already, we thought we squeeze one last lesson of the week in for all you singles out there looking to get laid this weekend. Today though, it’s not about the DOs, it’s about the DON’Ts: the top 3 things singles do when they’re lookin’ for tail that they’re doing ALL WRONG. Listen and learn:

1. They look desperate

This is the number one biggest turn off for like, 90% of the single population. Looking like you will straight-up DIE if you don’t get laid in the next twelve hours is not hot, so stop frantically searching the crowd for someone to hit on, stop shoving drinks in every girl’s mouth that walks by, and stop sending “DTF?” messages on the OBC Dating app. Go out there, have fun, meet people, be sociable and friendly, and if the stars align, the booty will come to you. And if it doesn’t, you won’t have wasted an entire night looking like a lost puppy.

2. They forget their manners

Yes, you’re single and loving it. We all are! And being honest is important when you’re casually dating – the last thing you want is to lead someone on who you have no intention of starting a relationship with. However, if you’re flirting with a sexy young thing on the dance floor, and things are heating up, DO NOT SHOUT, “JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THIS IS ONLY GOING TO BE A ONE-NIGHT THING.” For one, they may have had no intention of sleeping with you, and for two, it’s just a jerk-y thing to say. Be polite and have fun, and when the moment arises, casually mention that you enjoy being single, love meeting new people, and aren’t really looking for anything “long-term.” Putting it all on the table doesn’t have to be a slap in the face. Plus, you never know… sometimes booty calls turn into something more!

3. They put out “the wrong vibe”

Even if you’re feeling content and polite, sometimes you still wake up the next day totally solo in bed except for a burrito wrapper and the DVD case for MILFs Gone Wild. So, what could be the problem? Of course, it could just be that hey – luck is luck and you struck out, no big deal. But it could be something else: your vibe. While singles definitely don’t want someone who is desperate and obnoxious, they also don’t want someone who is stuck in the corner, talking only to their friends, and putting up an invisible “stay away” barrier between them and the rest of the world. We’re not saying you have to be dancing on the tables and stopping every passerby for a meet-and-greet, but be adventurous and introduce yourself to new friends. You never know who might be lurking just one table away!
