Matchmaker Maria, renowned for her expertise in the realm of romance, recently shared invaluable insights on NPR, offering practical advice for navigating social situations with confidence and ease. Drawing from years of experience, Maria highlighted two key strategies for making meaningful connections in any setting.

The first tip she emphasized is the power of the “you can approach me” uniform. Maria suggests that both men and women can utilize color to send subtle signals of approachability. “I always tell people, wear green if you’re a woman; wear light pink or light purple if you’re a man,” she advises. According to Maria, these colors exude an inviting vibe that encourages others to initiate conversations. As a seasoned matchmaker, Maria has observed firsthand how color can significantly influence social interactions, transcending barriers of sexual orientation.

Maria’s second tip revolves around maintaining an open mindset and embracing every encounter as an opportunity for connection. She encourages individuals to let go of rigid expectations and instead approach each interaction with curiosity and enthusiasm. “You have to come into the mindset [that] every single person is an opportunity,” she asserts. For those inclined towards goal-setting, Maria suggests a simple yet effective strategy: engage with at least two new people at every event.
