2020 has been a wild ride for a single induvial. Navigating the social dating scene during a global pandemic has had its ups and definitely its downs. Everything from zoom dates, dating people from other states, long walks at sunset, the worry that someone is going to give you a disease, not going to bars or restaurants. All of these have been bounders that have made it a struggle for anyone who is looking for relationships during this time.
The good news is now individuals are finally getting vaccinated and bars and restaurants are now opening up to more capacity comes at the perfect time of year. As the fall cuffing season has come and gone and now people may be going through the spring purge, everyone is excited for a “Hot Girl Summer” (shout out Megan Thee Stallion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS7cHwAmjV4) or a “White Boy Summer” (shout out Chet Hanks, big ups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlYtIywInYA).
This is the time of year everyone has been patiently waiting for, even if you are in a relationship. What is a hot girl summer? Meghan says “It’s just basically about women—and men—just being unapologetically them, just having a good-ass time, hyping up your friends, doing you, not giving a damn about what nobody got to say about it.”
This is the first time that many of us have been out of our home offices and interacting with people face to face in almost 13 months. So here are few tips to navigating this year’s Hot Girl Summer.
- Find an outdoor bar and restaurant: on a nice day take a stroll down butler street and see what is popping at Walter, or head over to the north shore and check out Mikes Beer Bar or Southern tier. Anywhere that has fruity drinks flowing, sun shining and music blasting!
- Two is the magic number: Always have a wing woman or a wing man with you at all times. When approaching potential individuals to talk with and hang out with it is always a good idea to have a familiar face to bounce ideas, and conversation topics off of.
- Chase Vibes, not behinds: Chase good times with friends and see what happens. If you chase vibes, you will always go home happy at the end of the night. As Meghan said, “Just have a good ass time”.
- Fit Check: as Gata said in episode 1 of the hit show Dave “the drips is not on you it is in you”. Walk everywhere with some swagger and ready to dominate!
I hope these tips help everyone, in a relationship or not to have a wonderful and enjoyable HOT GIRL SUMMER!
