It is a numbers game and the problem with dining is that you can only make one try per night.
Try the old school method: take ballroom dancing classes.
Ballroom dancing is not only funny, it is a very clever algorithm to select a long term partner, and one of the best features is that you can try 40 partners per night.
I used to be that guy that sits in the corner drinking all night: "dancing is not for me". Can't believe how much time I wasted.
