Single Lady in DC:
Surviving Congressional Black Caucus While Single
(Events Schedule Included)
Ladies! CBC is here...again...and with it comes an abundance of opportunity to meet and greet with DC's most eligible bachelors! Here are a few tips to help maximize the opportunity of being a single lady in DC, who is looking for love in a big city.
Be a Ciara in a Suit
Ciara is one of the sexiest non-singing sisters (hey, Rihanna) that I wish I knew, who rocks bomb weaves, impossibly tight clothes, and dances like a stripper. (No homo!) When preparing to go out to a CBC event, channel your inner sultry-fied Ciara but keep your clothes PG (i.e. a suit or Michelle O-type dress). Get your outfits fitted, carry an emergency blazer and dust off the old ball and chain black dress. Being professional and sexy-fied is not an oxymoron, and everyone will notice if you're the only lady dressed like she's an extra on the Wacka Flocka video shoot. This is not Miami (Welcome to DC).He's Just Not That Into Too
Reading is FUNdamental, and hookt on fonix workt fer me! Yes, I meant to type the word "too" ladies. As in, don't be too much, too pressed, too talkative, too soon! During these events less is more. Keep the conversation light, fun and flirty and just when you feel he's hooked, drop your business card, and show him what 10 minutes of squats over the past 30 days have done for you by walking away!Quid Pro Quo: Quid Pro Card
The most essential accessory that every lady should have besides a sexy stiletto and a basic black dress is an abundant supply of business cards. This micro-rectangular piece of paper that masquerades as a mini Facebook Profile, is the ultimate professional tweet on paper. It reveals a snapshot of who you are, what you do and how to stay connected in 180 characters or less. More importantly, if Tall, Dark and Lovely ends up being Tall, Dark and Dumb, you can still prettily press ignore when he emails and keep it moving just like on your Facebook Page and Twitter Account.It is imperative that every lady treat each event during CBC like an ungrateful boyfriend. In other words, put your Freakum' Dress on, show him that you're Irreplaceable and embrace your inner Diva. Never stay committed to one event while socializing during the afternoon CBC socials. Each day there will be multiple events taking place in a short period of time. It is your responsibility to be fabulous and fierce at as many events as possible. Remember it's a numbers game; the more people you meet the higher the probability is that you will make a connection. Besides, the only group of people that stay at an event from start to finish are the event organizers. Don't be the event's mistress on the side. Move on!
CBC is here ladies! Have fun and be safe.

Thanks for this! Will pass the list of events along, lady!
ReplyDeleteRemember: ABC (Always, Be, Closing) It takes less than 30 seconds for a guy to decide if he is going to ask a girl out. Make the most of your time, and use the date to figure out if you actually like the guy. PS – On the date, it never hurts to offer to contribute when the check comes. Most quality guys will decline the offer, but will respect you for making the effort.
ReplyDeletegood info..
ReplyDeleteNice tips too. Very good and nice writing.
--->don't be too much, too pressed, too talkative, too soon!
Seems like it's challenging for many of us to find the appropriate line... but its great advice!!
@ Anonymous... It takes me a bit longer than 30 seconds... there's a ton of beautiful degree'd women in DC with nice smiles and booty... at 31 seconds she's still a number. I need to get where you are I guess.
