Hunting Season

Hunting Season: A Field Guide to Targeting and Capturing the Perfect Man by Elle uses the metaphor of the deer hunt to describe "dating season" which runs between April 1 and Sept. 30. It's partly in jest, so think of this more as a guide to helping you meet and date more men.

Important love lessons:

Elle's number-one rule of hunting is "never hunt with a posse!" She explains, "If you go hunting with your girlfriends, what will you do? You will buy drinks for one another . . . You will talk to each other and scan the room together. You might fake-laugh loudly. You will, basically, be trying to draw attention to yourselves as a group. In doing so, you turn yourselves into prey. We never want to be prey."
"You see an attractive buck and he smiles at you. What do most women do? Either they buy a drink (blaaaahhh! goes the buzzer! Wrong!) or they look away and giggle (please, ladies, don’t giggle) . . . When he looks at you, breathe and then give him a big smile. If you're close enough, just say, 'Hello,' or, better yet, 'Good evening.' Maintaining eye contact, offering a nice smile and introducing yourself are the best ice breakers."
