St. Patrick's Day is this week, and and that means the bars, clubs and restaurants will be crawling with people – even people who don't normally go out much. An added bonus is that these people will almost always be adults as well, and the number of families will be slim to none. The good news is that while there will be some couples, in general we've got a single, adult haven; the bad news is that St. Patrick's Day is pretty much known as the get-drunk holiday, so the people you meet might not remember you tomorrow.
Because being out on St. Paddy's Day is a prime time to meet new people, it might be worth modifying a little of your own behavior so that you, too, can remember anyone you meet. This doesn't mean you can't have a good time, but taper down the drinking so you'll at least recall the time you've had. And trust me, vomiting isn't attractive, either, so it's a win-win situation.
It might not be a bad idea to be at your most pro-active earlier in the night, before everyone becomes sloshed and before the come-ons start flying thick and fast. At 1:30 in the morning you might just look like any other guy or girl looking to hook up, but earlier you can actually have a conversation and be more memorable – both literally and figuratively.
Just because the holiday features shamrocks and leprechauns, don't expect magic to be made on St. Patrick's Day; chances are, the people are out with friends and have some amount of set plans. The point, however, is that you're getting to meet people you might not ordinarily encounter. If you can walk away with a phone number or two, you'll be doing well. And because it's a holiday, you have things to talk about right away – like his giant leprechaun hat or her headband with googly shamrocks.
Be safe this St. Patrick's Day – and maybe you can use this giant partying holiday and use it to your advantage. Remember to wear a shamrock for extra luck!
