Meet Someone at the Beach

So it’s summertime, and guys always want to know – even women want to know – how the hell do you meet people on the beach?
There’s a couple of different ways to meet people on the beach. One of the best ways to do so – and you can do this on the lake too – the only place you can’t do this is at a pool.
So if someone is sitting there on a blanket, of course, you sit down next to him or her. You put your blanket down next to theirs, and you do the old, “oh man, I forgot my sunscreen. Can I borrow some?” This is always a great way to open up somebody.
Another good way to do it is to bring some Frisbees, balls, and other things, and have a Frisbee toss with your buddy. Of course, let the Frisbee fall onto their blanket – or near their blanket, don’t hit them on the head or anything! But let it fall directly near their blanket, and then look at them and say, “oh man, my buddy has a bad arm. Could you do me a favor and whip it back at him?”
Get them engaged in the game. People come to the beach to have a good time, so get them engaged in the game.
Another thing to do, which I love, is go down in the water and put your toes in the water. Of course the water will be a little on the chilly side in the beginning of the summer, and if a woman walks up to the tip of the water, you look at her and say, “alright, I’ll race you in! Winner buys the lemonade. Ready? One, two, three,” and make it a game. Start running in a little bit and look at her, and if she hasn’t started running, turn back and say, “aw, come on, what are you, chicken?”
Play a game. Be like a little kid going to the beach. “What are you, chicken? Come on, I dare you. Let’s go. I’ll give you a head start.” Have some fun with it. You race them into the water; you have a little bit of fun.
One of my favorite things to do at the beach is go to the store and buy a bucket full of little kid stuff. Buy a shovel, a rake, buy some animal figures to create sand monsters; buy different sized buckets to create sand castles. Go to the edge of the water, pour all of your toys out, and start building a sand castle.
You want to see people gravitate over to you? Give each person a task. The minute a woman looks at you, you say, “alright, fine, you’re going to be the Block Girl.” “Alright, fine, you work the rake.” “You build the moat.” It’s about having fun. Everything is about really having fun and doing something different.
Another way I really like to meet people at the beach is by going to a store that has really fun beach towels. Maybe they have a Spongebob beach towel, or a Smurfs beach towel, or whatever it is. Get the biggest, funniest beach towel you can possibly have. Get two of them, actually, and spread them out on the beach, and use them as your towel.
Now you have something to talk about. A woman walks by, and she looks at you and says, “Spongebob, man, what are you? Ten years old?” You can say, “it’s the beach, come on! It’s about having fun and being a child again!” It’s just about lightening up. It’s the summertime, and you can just have a good time.
Another thing you can do is bring a cooler full of water, and you can basically have extra water for people. So when some one walks by you, you can offer them some water. They look in your cooler, and you can say, “hey do you want a bottle of water? I’ll give it to you for a buck. I’ll charge you a buck for that!”
It’s about having fun. Everything is about being different; everything is about having fun. Everything is about being unique. So stop being so uptight and have a good time at the beach!
Greetings from Ireland David,
Another great blog… I’ve been working incredibly hard recently (returning back to college in September to finish my course) and forgotten the simple thing of having fun…. Reading this blog today just reminded me how you said before that life is like a playground and go out and have fun – and people will gravitate to you – who doesn’t want to have fun!!
This blog is very relevant as I’m off to Ibiza in 3 weeks and know that the beach will be where we’ll be spending alot of time..
Can’t wait to get a funky fun towel now…
Thanks again,
Philip
Great ideas David,
Another great beach idea is to go to a dog beach, for some reason dog owner are super social and you always get to talk to a bunch of people. If you don’t have a dog borrow a friends dog and go.
Oh I have a question what if you can not swim? One time I was at Cheatham Dam Beach and I was thinking of someone and I was doing the back stroke with a lifejacket next thing I know I bumped my head into this guys crotch and apologized for he had a woman with him. He accepted gladly…I love to see guys wearing tight swimming trunks going out for a swim.
Great ideas David!
Yes summer is here can’t wait to go to the beach and try this out D. great ideas today!
Sandra- maybe you did that intentionally, and will make sure i go to Cheatham Dam beach with a tight swimming trunks:)
Marina- that is what i do when i am in Cali I borrow Daphne few times a day from David:)

Jimmy

Sandra- oh Sandra i look up to you to teach me from your life wisdom. I recall one of David’s product mentioning when you meet a wise woman your learning curve goes up the roof, so i am up for anyhow you want to spoil me:)
yes howe i will spoil you anytime you want.
Cougar Sandra quit messing with the young boys heads (-:
Um, my muffin top keeps me from meeting people at the beach. Oh come on, you know what a muffin top is..it’s when your pants are so tight that your fat hangs over the top of your pants creating..VIOLA a muffin top. I wish it was cool to wear moo moo’s on the beach, I would be a hot beach bitch…no really literally hot as hell.
What if the girl I try to be fun with thinks I am intruding? What if she thinks I am a weird person? Nobody goes to a girl and just says “I’ll race you.” What if the girl isn’t one of those “playful” people? She will just say “get lost you jerk!”
Like to watch Stargate Atlantis episodes and also Lost. I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
