Tomorrow, November 11 is Singles' Day, a holiday created to help the loveless singles of China find a date. If you find yourself at one of the matchmaking parties that will be taking place around the city, here are the top tips to dating success, from our friends at Tianya.cn:
For guys
1.If you have a lucky lady in mind, then rush over to her place, and stand outside yelling her name or serenade her in homage to Lloyd Dobler from seminal 80s movie Say Anything. Choose the song carefully. Not everyone likes the theme from Titanic.
2. Take eye drops with you – if she tells a sad story you can be ready to cry so she thinks you are a sensitive new man.
3. There's a chance that your bachelor freedom may be over, so just in case, have one last night out with your bachelor vices.
4. Roses and chocolates are so last decade, so try to come up with an interesting and unusual gift, which will make you stand out in the crowd.
5. Never forget the positive effects of alcohol.
6. Never forget the negative effects of alcohol.
For girls
1. Pretend to be interested in their hobbies, like sports and online games, even if you have no idea what World of Warcraft is.
2. Despite the cold snap, if going to a matchmaking event, wear a sexy outfit, short skirt and heels. Men don't like girls in comfortable clothes.
3. Act as if everything they say is fascinating – and laugh at their jokes – even the bad ones.
4. Sometimes, you need to make them believe that you're less intelligent than they are – or possibly not so rich/successful.
5. Never forget the positive effects of alcohol.
6. Never forget the negative effects of alcohol.
