About Lynn Terry
I'm best known online for my Internet Marketing Blog and my Low Carb Diet blog (where I also talk about my fun travel adventures). But there is SO much more to me than work, food & travel. Which is why we're here. ;-) So let your hair down and let's have some REAL fun! *cheers*

Hey Lynn,
It’s late (like after 1 a.m.) and I was watching an old episode of Numbers. I noticed you had posted a new video so I took 20 minutes to hangout while you opened the mail.
I’m off to watch the rest of the Numbers episode and get off to bed.
I hope you are having an AWESOME hanging out at home with slim day!
smiles,
Great show! Glad you joined me here for a bit.
First, you need to ask for what you want – always. Otherwise, you get too far down the road and you will find you have nothing in common. :{
Next, talking about business can be your opening line. Why not use that as the foundation to strike up a conversation? For example, you see someone at NAMS that you’re drawn too. It makes perfect sense for you to approach this person and ask about his niche, marketing, etc. Why wouldn’t you do this elsewhere? You’re at Starbucks in line, something funny gets your attention (and the attention of those around), and you notice the guy in line behind you seems to be intrigued by your reaction. Simply say, “I’ll have to remember to put that on my blog.” Shows you’re technically savvy, probably intelligent, friendly, and funny. (It goes without saying that your beauty is obvious!)
Finally, men are men. [sigh] Don’t try to understand them. There is a good book called, “Men are Like Waffles and Woman are Like Spaghetti.” While men jump from square to square, women can go everywhere. (Oh: just made that little rhyme!)
Oh…and since you’re so close to Nashville, why don’t you join some groups (not dating) that will take you “into town” once a week?

Those are all things I’ve been doing – and great advice! It’s just I end up doing “free consultations” and that’s as far as it seems to go, lol.
Honestly, I would like to make friends outside my professional circle. I’m ready for some fun socializing when I want to turn my brain OFF.
I’d be happy to have a group of girlfriends to play cards with, or work out with even. It doesn’t have to be a man or a date. So that’s my mission…
Ah Lynn I’m right there with you, it seems to get so complicated when it really should be so simple. All’s I’m thinking is there’s a book in here somewhere!
I think as women we tend to over analyze things. As business people we’re constantly required to analyze so it’s hard not to over think things when it comes to dating.
This is where I agree with Cindy and think we should take a lesson from guys – they would/do go out on every date they possibly can. It’s like they graze at the date buffet and want to try everything on the table. Women on the other hand are so busy looking for the low carb, ‘good’ or right choices that we often limit our options by limiting our sample size!
I think we feel like we have to ‘choose’ just one right away, where we should be taste testing and by that I mean small samples of many dishes before we even think of choosing one to take a big honking portion of in a doggy bag even.
Perhaps we should be happy to sample at the buffet until we find that delicious, decadent dish we just can’t live without and have to have everyday for the rest of our lives. If we don’t find that, then we should just keep sampling and not sweat why we don’t like Sushi.
PS – Your friends wife wants to BE what you already ARE – remind yourself of that as you enjoy dinner!
Great points! Ironically, I find it’s the men that seem bent on finding “the one” and closing in on it asap – right or not. Or that’s been my experience anyway.
I’m quite carefree about it given that my life is complete already – I have a very fulfilling life between home, Slim, work & my children (not in that order, of course). So I’m wide open to meeting new and interesting people, making cool friends, doing fun things – but I’m also VERY picky about how and where I spend my time as well.
After what I felt was a great relationship with high potential earlier this year, it feels good to take some time out to focus on myself and my own goals for awhile. And in that space, get a clearer picture of where I want to go next – and what kind of people I want to meet along the way.
Hi Lynn – def join some groups of people (sport is good – golf??) and it may help you socialise more, without the emphasis on “single”. Once people get to know you, and like you, they will want to hook you up with dozens of gorgeous men (I hope!!)
oh why don’t I get a photo in my profile box like everyone else *sobs*

Sports is a good idea. Unfortunately I live in an area where there is not much going on. I did join the dart league, started my own team, and played on the league for about two years. Including charity tournaments and state championships.
I finally stepped down, as it conflicted with my daughter’s schedule when she started something new. And to be honest I never connected (closely) with anyone on the league – and have never heard from any of them since. It didn’t help I suppose that my ex boyfriend and his new wife had a team on the league too. And in this town that’s grounds for ostracism.
