Professional Dating Coach: Stop 'Sleeping' on These Events

Professional Dating Coach: Stop 'Sleeping' on These Events

Yahoo12-05-2025
So much of modern dating is focused around meeting people on apps, but dating coach Blaine Anderson believes there is a better way.
Anderson's official website says she and her team are in the business of helping men get "unstuck with women."
"Dating is a SKILL. If you believe in yourself, and have the humility to believe there are things you can learn, you will see big changes with a little effort and the right plan," she says on her website.
In addition to the services she offers through her page, Anderson also regularly gives advice on Instagram. One of her most recent videos advocates for men to attend "modern singles events" such as "Pitch-A-Friend" instead of relying solely on meeting people online.
"Modern singles events > dating apps. Most cities have a mix of meetups, some made for singles, others just great for meeting people. They're fun, low-pressure, and full of people who actually want to connect," Anderson wrote.
Judging by the comments on the post, Anderson's followers have mixed feelings about this advice, with some saying they've enjoyed these types of gatherings in the past and others claiming they are overpriced and usually contain an overabundance of men and a shortage of women.
If singles events aren't for you though, Anderson has plenty of other tips to consider, like the "underrated green flag" for men to look for and the No. 1 haircut to avoid--a mullet.
Anderson also recently suggested three ways to adequately "tease" women when flirting.
Suggest she is flirting with you.
Initiate a challenge.
Joke that she's not the right one for you.
Anderson has over 700,000 followers on Instagram. You can find her page right here.

Duchess Meghan turns 44: British royal gets sweet birthday shoutout from As Ever brand

Duchess Meghan may be busy building her business kingdom, but today she's being crowned. The British American royal and entrepreneur, who turned 44 on Monday, Aug. 4, received a warm birthday shoutout on Instagram from her lifestyle brand As Ever, which launched in April to fan acclaim. The company, which has become known for its homey aesthetic and assortment of fruit spreads, herbal teas and baking mixes, shared a black-and-white photo of the duchess wearing a sun dress and wide-brimmed hat alongside its celebratory message. "Celebrating the woman behind it all," the company wrote in the post's caption. "She pours her heart, vision and magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder @meghan 🥂" See Duchess Meghan's daughter Lilibet: Young princess makes adorable cameo in As Ever teaser Meghan, who is married to Prince Harry, has yet to share any glimpses of her birthday festivities with her 4.1 million Instagram followers. The Duchess of Sussex has been more open about her family life with Harry, which includes children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with a series of candid posts. Meghan first teased As Ever in March 2024 when she made a buzzy return to Instagram after a yearslong social media hiatus to introduce fans to the lifestyle project, formerly named American Riviera Orchard. The duchess later revealed she renamed the brand As Ever because the previous title, a reference to her and Harry's Montecito residence, "limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area." The first As Ever drop sold out in under an hour, and one product — the limited-edition wildflower honey with honeycomb for $28 — had fans buzzing, selling out in less than five minutes. The featured products in the company's first collection included $12 herbal tea in three flavors: hibiscus, peppermint and lemon ginger. 'You have to be authentic': Duchess Meghan responds to twerking video backlash The lifestyle brand teased its upcoming release, a vintage rosé wine, in an Instagram video on Aug. 3. "Goodness in a glass. Right around the corner... Cheers to August!" the company wrote alongside the teaser. As Ever is produced alongside Netflix, which also distributes Meghan's lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan." The series premiered in March and was quickly renewed for a second season, although a release date has not been announced. Contributing: Taijuan Moorman and Jay Stahl, USA TODAY

Love Island: Who is the TOWIE cast member Ben and Tommy both ‘kissed' at same event?

Love Island's Tommy Bradley and Ben Holbrough have confessed to kissing the same girl at the same event, so who is the mystery woman? While appearing on tonight's grand Love Island finale, the pair were interviewed about their relationships with the women they left the show with. Tommy confessed he and Lucy were no longer together, after he had kissed a woman at an event he went to. He explained: "I went to my first event, free bar, unlimited drinks. Half an hour, five blue lagoon cocktails. This girl came up to me." Host Maya Jama then asked if he and Lucy were exclusive at this point to which he said no they weren't before adding: "I went to an event and kissed someone." Tommy then clarified that it was "disrespectful" to Lucy and the pair are now just friends. Before his interview ended Tommy added that he "didn't remember" the kiss. Ben was then asked about his relationship status with Andrada, whom he left the Villa with. To this Ben began speaking and said: "I was at the same event [as Tommy]." Andrada then added: "with the same girl." The crowd reacted in shock with Ben and Tommy looking embarassed. So who is the mystery woman the pair both kissed at the same event? Here's what you need to know about her. Earlier this week it was revealed Ben and Andrada had split after pictures emerged of Ben holding hands with TOWIE star Dani Imbert at the event Ben had attended with Tommy. The pair were said to be very intimate during the evening, with a source telling The Sun: "There was instant attraction from the moment they met - they spent two hours kissing at the party it was all very intimate. It's clearly very much over with Andrada as Dani seemed to be the only thing on his mind." Given Ben's closeness to Dani, it's likely she is the same woman Tommy kissed at the event. Dani, 27, is best known for appearing on ITV's reality series TOWIE, having joined the show in 2021. She has over 125,000 followers on Instagram. Love Island is available for catchup on ITVX now

Jessie J Battling Infection and Chest Pains Following Breast Cancer Surgery

Six weeks after undergoing a mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis, Jessie J was admitted to the hospital once again to address her ongoing complications. The musician shared in a recent Instagram Story post that she discharged herself ('I hate being in the hospital') after being assured that the symptoms she has been experiencing are not related to a blood clot in her lungs. '6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery,' Jessie wrote on Saturday, Aug. 2. 'Not expected or planned. I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD.' The singer's testing revealed an infection and fluid in her lungs, but has not been explicitly detailed. 'Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night and will continue the investigation as an outpatient,' she said.

'I finally got a diagnosis of what's been going on. Lots of people have been asking, apparently it's called… Dramatic? I think that's the spelling,' she wrote. 'My symptoms are the same and no idea what's wrong yet. But my sarcasm and sense of humour are holding on.' Jessie shared that 'people think that I'm like hanging on by a thread,' but noted, 'in some moments [it] has felt that way.' Detailing her symptoms, she recalled, 'Two or three days ago, when I woke up, and I couldn't breathe. I still have pain in my chest when I breathe, but it's not as bad.' In July, Jessie revealed that her mastectomy was successful and the cancer did not spread. 'Happy tears are real. Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy, and all the positive energy,' she said at the time. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters. But for now, it's gratitude time, and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.'
