Don't Go
Looking For Romance,
Singles Consultant Says ... January
4, 2002 Don't
go looking for romance, singles consultant says ... As
a romance coach and expert on living a successful single life, Wilmington native
Renee Piane is often asked about health clubs as a place for meeting people. Her
response holds a touch of paradox: Health clubs are a great place to meet people
but don't go there with that expectation. Go there to work out and enjoy yourself. It's
a mistake to put too much pressure on meeting Mr. or Ms. Right at a club, she
says. The odds are not in your favor. Piane tells men that they'll probably have
to connect with 100 women before 10 will be interested. And
they should be ready for rejection if they're too obviously smitten. One of the
biggest complaints that Piane hears from women is that men at clubs come on "with
too strong a sex vibe." It's an issue she writes about in hernew book
LOVE MECHANICS: Power Tools to Build Successful Relationships With Women. "I
tell men to look at each person as a somebody, not somebody you want to score
with," she says. "The key is to flirt with life and be kind to everyone.
That kind of openness helps you relax so that when that really special person
walks by, the flirting will be a natural part of what you do." Piane,
now a Los Angeles consultant who hopes to start a series of singles networking
events in Wilmington this month, is a fan of single men and women who are friends
going to health clubs together. "Women
friends for guys are the best," she says. "They can sell a man's positive
traits with an attractive woman better than he can sell them himself." For
