Thing is, actually getting out and about might be the one you know. IRL. Maybe run clubs baby?
And that means getting up close and personal with other humans, not just the also-real-until-you-meet-them-digital-people on your phone. I know, terrifying.
So, here’s some hot tips so you can become the CEO of Love.
Tip 1: Line up your crush
Identify the target. Got someone in mind? Him from Accounts? Her from that coffee spot? The PT with the unreal rizz?
Get focused. Take your time. Remember: if you’ve not done this for a while, your chirpse game might need a bit of TLC.

Tip 2: Fix up, look sharp
Remember: glow-up. You’ve got zero chance if you’re cutting about like your Mum still gets you dressed. So get that fit right. Not wrong.

Tip 4: Fix up, look sharp

Enjoy.
Be yourself.
Let them be themselves.
And let romance happen.
