How Much Fun Are You?
You certainly like to have fun, but you never let yourself get too wild. “You’re confident enough to know that you don’t always need to be the life of the party,” says Leil Lowndes, author of How to Be a People Magnet. “You also know your threshold of excitement and don’t force yourself to participate if it takes you too far outside your comfort zone.” That’s why you’d rather read up on skydiving or rappelling before agreeing to a date or factor in your work schedule as you’re weighing whether to take a Costa Rican surfing trip. Still, you could be a little more playful, optimistic and spontaneous when things don’t go as planned. “Fun people know how to be flexible in social situations, which maximizes their opportunity to enjoy themselves,” says Lowndes. So if you find yourself at a party alone (yes, your friends flaked…get over it), don’t freak out. Instead, use it as a chance to put your mingling skills to use…and maybe walk away with a guy’s number or a hot job contact.
