However, the type of dress you will wear depends on certain factors such as what kind of a person you are going out with or where you are going for the first date. You want to look charming and fabulous but at the same time you do not want to look cheap or provocative. Hence, showing cleavage on the first date or wearing a short dress is not at all recommendable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can, however, wear a good casual dress or a formal dress again depending on the person you meet. For example, if you are going with someone senior to you like your boss, then you can wear a formal dress. However, if you are going with someone who is your age, then you can wear a casual dress. Remember that whatever you wear should fit your perfectly. The dress should not be too tight or too loose. You should also wear minimal makeup if you want to. You should wear shoes or sandals that go well with the dress and that are comfortable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember that whatever you wear you should have the confidence in you to carry it off. For example, if you are wearing heels, then you should be able to walk normally without tripping or stumbling. Women who wear heels for the first time may walk awkwardly. Hence, women really have to practice walking till they are comfortable wearing heels. Remember that you do not have to stress too hard on being different; rather you have to ensure that you are comfortable in the clothes you wear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://ezinearticles.com/?What-to-Wear-on-a-First-Date-For-Women&amp;amp;id=2799621&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-4597184635810080722?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/4597184635810080722/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=4597184635810080722' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/4597184635810080722'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/4597184635810080722'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-to-wear-on-first-date-for-women.html' title='What to Wear on a First Date For Women'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-5428074844951081743</id><published>2009-07-30T04:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-30T04:45:49.635-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fun Dating Ideas For Single Parents</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;There is a reason that dating is pressure filled. Dating is the ritual people go through in order to find someone to settle down with. Sure some people view dating as a fun way to pass the time but for most, dating comes paired with "is he/she the one?" pressure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This pressure is intensified when one of the parties in the dating duo is a single parent. Dating a single parent and dating as a single parent is very different than dating as a single person. This is why so many of you are searching for dating ideas for single parents and single parents date suggestions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best approach to dating when a single parent is involved is to go for the easy and relaxed "getting to know you" types of dates instead of the "how much can we impress each other?" types of dates. Here are a few standards that should work well for those of you who want to find dating ideas for single parents:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Dinner and a (optional) Movie.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a reason that dinner and a movie is a classic date. It is easy, it is affordable (or it used to be, movies are kind of expensive these days) and it provides both parties with a distraction if the conversation starts to wane. When dating a single parent set it up as an easy dinner with the option for seeing a movie if the dinner part goes well. If things are awkward or you do not click at dinner you can go your separate ways, no muss no fuss! A good idea for this type of date is to get together for an early dinner and a movie: the movie tickets will be cheaper and it is a lot easier to find a baby sitter when the date takes place in the late afternoon or early evening.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Picnic Lunch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lunch time dates are, at their cores, more relaxed than dinner dates. If you are searching for dating ideas for single parents, suggest a lunch date that is close to where you both work. To save some money suggest a lunch break picnic in which you meet at a location that is near both of your workplaces and to which you each bring your own lunch! This will save you both some money and takes away a lot of the pressure that comes from having dinner. It also gives you an easy out if the lunch date does not go well-you both have to get back to work!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://ezinearticles.com/?Fun-Dating-Ideas-For-Single-Parents&amp;amp;id=2673766&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-5428074844951081743?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/5428074844951081743/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=5428074844951081743' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/5428074844951081743'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/5428074844951081743'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2009/07/fun-dating-ideas-for-single-parents.html' title='Fun Dating Ideas For Single Parents'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-5841009195581969692</id><published>2009-06-06T22:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-06T22:06:41.885-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Get a Girl's Phone Number - Here Are Extremely Easy Tricks You Can Instantly Master</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first thing that a guy usually thinks of when he meets a girl is how to get her phone number. Well, things are difficult to move ahead if there is no communication between the two.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once the phone number is in the pocket, then coffee chats tend to happen, parties tend to happen and things move ahead. However, it is not a cake walk to get a phone number of a girl. So how to do it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tip 1&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best thing to do is that instead of waiting her to you her number, you give her your phone number. This is a very old trick but tends to work very effectively. There is a high possibility that the girl might call you either because she has some related work or may be because she found a good friend in you. Whichever way it is you would be benefited because once she calls you, her number would be displayed on your phone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tip 2&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is slightly tricky but a good one. Try calling a number from your phone for a long time. There are high chances that she might ask you whom you trying to call. Tell her that it's a friend but there is some problem with your phone and hence you can't get through. Ask her if you can use her phone. Once you get it, simply call on your number or may be on your best friend's number and take it from him/her later.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tip 3&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you get started with a conversation it is obvious that she might tell you about her hobbies. Try and help her out with her hobbies. For example she might be one of those reading bugs. Tell her that you know a library which has a great collection of books. Ask her for her number so that you can enroll her as a member of the library.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Get-a-Girls-Phone-Number---Here-Are-Extremely-Easy-Tricks-You-Can-Instantly-Master&amp;amp;id=2433331&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-5841009195581969692?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/5841009195581969692/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=5841009195581969692' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/5841009195581969692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/5841009195581969692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-get-girls-phone-number-here-are.html' title='How to Get a Girl&apos;s Phone Number - Here Are Extremely Easy Tricks You Can Instantly Master'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-1304808767253435145</id><published>2009-05-17T04:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-17T04:10:21.181-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Pick Up Girls Easily - Be the Guy Who Can Easily Make Any Girl Like Him Instantly</title><content type='html'>Are you feeling a little down in the mouth because you have not managed to get a date recently? Don't mope around feeling sorry for yourself. The trick is to find out what can turn you into a sexy guy who can pick up a girl at the snap of his fingers! Read the tips below and gain some insight into becoming more popular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure you are not easily ignored and just 'one of the crowd'. Standing at the back quietly, will not make the girls notice you. You have to work on your appearance. Get yourself a new haircut, wardrobe and a 'cool look'! If you have to wear accessories like a chain, ring or bracelet that is unique and will draw comments - do it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't look desperate! Maintain a cool and casual attitude and at the same time let it be known that you are single and available! No girl is going to be able to resist this "hot" guy and don't be surprised if you find the girls wanting to pick you up! Strike up a conversation with them and pick up signs like subtle flirting and coy looks which will tell you who are ready to go out with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being the "knight in shining armor", helps even in this day and age. Always be around to give a helping hand. If a girl says she's feeling cold, then offer her your jacket, or if she's ready to leave then you can offer to drop her home. A chivalrous guy will always find himself liked by all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out her body language. Is she looking at you all the time? Maybe she wants you to come over and talk to her but is too shy to talk to you. You could go over and start a conversation which will help you to get friendly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show her that you are a gentleman and she will drop her guard and trust you. You can then take it further from there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now listen carefully-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you are about to discover something most men will never know when it comes to attracting women. This is one thing which is an absolute must know for every man out there.

And now, almost everyone is,” said Match.com relationship insider Whitney Casey, citing a spike in traffic to Match’s new “dating on a dime” Web page.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Casey urges altruism as a dating strategy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Maybe you want to take a date to a black-tie dinner but can’t afford a $150 ticket,” she said. “Get on a volunteer committee - after you put in a certain number of hours, sometimes you can get free tickets.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Volunteering is a great way to find that special someone, too, Casey said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Get out there and help clean up or stuff envelopes at Habitat for Humanity-type things,” she said. “It makes you feel better, plus you could meet somebody there.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Posh eateries are getting in on the cheap-date action. For example, just because you’re a po’boy doesn’t mean your date can’t eat one. The dish is one of five items on swanky Sel de la Terre’s weeknight French Quarter $5 menu, making it an ideal date spot for singles with just a few singles in their wallet, says Christine Liu, Boston editor of 3buckbites.com.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“The place is just ridiculous, fantastic, savvy, supermodern and new, and you can charm the pants off anyone there for like $5,” Liu said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And some of Boston’s other high-end restaurants, including Rialto, 33 Restaurant &amp;amp; Lounge and 28 Degrees, are catering to those on a budget, offering the aphrodisiacal oyster for $1, in addition to other culinary delights that go way beyond the fast-food dollar menu.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“I think a lot of restaurants have altered their menus to accommodate for smaller budgets,” said Leigh Vincola of Bostonchefs.com. “The Bargain Bites piece of our Web site gets a lot of traffic and is certainly conducive to a date night out.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Want a less-expensive variation on the standard candy and flowers? Get out and explore Somerville’s Taza Chocolate company on an interactive tour this Saturday.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“We are very excited about our upcoming open house and actually have been told by a few people how it’s a great meet-up place and ice-breaker for first dates,” said Taza co-founder Alex Whitmore. “Better yet, it’s unique and free.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You don’t have to buy the flowers to stop and smell them at free guided tours at Harvard University’s Arnold Arboretum. Geared toward adults, toures are held on the prime date days of Friday through Sunday (and the occasional Wednesday afternoon; check the schedule online).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Another of Casey’s favorite dating ideas is to bring suitors to book-signings, especially common in such college towns as Boston, where there often are university-sponsored events.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“There are readings and question-and-answer sessions and it’s completely free. Or you can grab a coffee there and sit and listen to the author talk and it’s like eight bucks,” Casey said. “Some of these authors are incredibly engaging.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Casey said the best way of whittling a plethora of choices in metro markets is simple: “Pick up a newspaper,” then “study the other person’s (dating) profile” and narrow down your common interests. For instance, there are a number of free concerts as part of Boston Jazz Week, featured in The Edge section of the Herald this week. Or check out the Herald’s regular Cheap Thrills feature. Both can be found at at bostonherald.com/entertainment. With the onset of summer, there are also a number of free events around the Hub, listed soon at cityofboston.gov/parks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://news.bostonherald.com/news/hard_times/view/2009_04_26_Dating:_Amore_for_less/srvc=home&amp;amp;position=4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-2348241259632727705?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/2348241259632727705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=2348241259632727705' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/2348241259632727705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/2348241259632727705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2009/04/dating-amore-for-less.html' title='Dating: Amore for less'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-5077417799745588226</id><published>2009-04-08T21:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-08T21:42:58.998-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Are Guys Turned Off by Nice Girls?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have you ever wondered why nice girls who seem perfect have a hard time getting the men they want? When does being nice become a turn off to men? What is it about nice girls that make guys go out the door? Guys are turned on by nice girls but they are just as easily turned off by certain things that they do. Read on and find out what guys don't like about nice girls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Too agreeable&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There's nothing wrong with being nice. The problem comes up when you're just too nice it makes you easy. You say yes to practically everything that your man says, to the point of being too patronizing. Arguing and proving your point is part of a healthy relationship. Guys enjoy the thrill of the chase. This is why they are more drawn to girls who are more apt to say what is on their mind even when it's the complete opposite of what their men think.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The one thing with nice girls that turn guys off is they cease to be a challenge. He takes it for granted that you'll agree to whatever he says so he wouldn't make an effort to say something reasonable.&lt;br /&gt;Allowing him to be in control&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This coincides with the first problem. Giving him full control of the relationship can also make the attraction fade as fast as it came. Power struggles are what makes a relationship interesting. You have to give something that is equal to how much you take. You can't always give in and let your man control you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being too patient&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Men are always bound to mess up. If you're going to put up with every shortcoming, he's going to make the same mistakes all over again. Men are like kids. They wouldn't know what they've been doing wrong unless you tell them. If you keep tolerating bad behaviours like showing up late for your date or forgetting your anniversary, he will just think it's okay to do so because you don't mind. Stop being too much of a nice girl and speak up. Tolerating nonsense is one of the worst turn-offs that nice girls do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://ezinearticles.com/?Are-Guys-Turned-Off-by-Nice-Girls?&amp;amp;id=2194026&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-5077417799745588226?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/5077417799745588226/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=5077417799745588226' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/5077417799745588226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/5077417799745588226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2009/04/are-guys-turned-off-by-nice-girls.html' title='Are Guys Turned Off by Nice Girls?'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-4522989923123525577</id><published>2009-03-26T01:02:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-26T01:02:52.987-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Get Women Hooked on You (For Real)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have you dreamed to be that guy who had all the women chasing HIM for a change? Well, here is some good news...it has very little to do with your looks. So if you want to learn how to get women hooked on you, then go ahead and read this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Dominant Body Language&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is extremely important. Women judge a man solely on his body language when they meet him for the first time. Why? Because ANY man can tell a lie and pretend to be an alpha man when he really is not. Women place little value you on what you say, and a lot on what you CONVEY to them through nonverbal language. Learn how to convey the language of an alpha man.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. A Leader&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beautiful women don't go home with the "followers". They only go after men who are truly leaders in their group. So stop being a follower and take some initiative to make decisions for your group of friends. This is an absolute must if you want to even have a chance with beautiful women.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Preselection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want women going crazy for you BEFORE they even meet you, then you should roll into the club with some beautiful women already with you. This will tell them that you already have value to offer and it will get them aching to meet you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That is why you should focus on building a solid network of women who are JUST friends. But don't worry - they can always be friends with benefits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Learn to Speak the Language of an Alpha Man..&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want to take your game to the next level, then you must learn how an Alpha Man REALLY communicates. The sad thing is that most men continue to struggle with women even after they learn all those fancy "routines". What they don't realize is that women place VERY little value in your words and TONS of value in your nonverbal language.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Get-Women-Hooked-on-You-(For-Real)&amp;amp;id=2144118&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-4522989923123525577?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/4522989923123525577/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=4522989923123525577' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/4522989923123525577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/4522989923123525577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-get-women-hooked-on-you-for-real.html' title='How to Get Women Hooked on You (For Real)'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-1645230677334095306</id><published>2009-02-27T07:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-27T07:20:37.996-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Dating service to pay $500K to settle suit</title><content type='html'>Mesa, Arizona - &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;A Scottsdale-based dating service has agreed to pay half a million dollars in restitution and fines to settle a lawsuit filed by state Attorney General Terry Goddard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p class="textBodyBlack"&gt;&lt;span id="byLine"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The suit alleged the company -

I'm considering giving it a try. Is there still a social stigma attached to it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Washington&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Washington: Nah. But there still are the problems it always had, which are: forced circumstances, unrealistic expectations, more opportunities than usual for deception, suppressed consequences for bad behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that any of these is unique to online dating, just that it seems to bring them all together in one place -- a place that also happens to attract people who are particularly awkward or vulnerable. Proceed with eyes open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Carolyn: I agree with all the caveats, but I think it's really important to distinguish the types of interactions one can have in that environment. My understanding is that the best strategy is to exchange two or three e-mails with a person before meeting up for coffee or something else informal, which closely approximates more traditional methods of meeting up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Anonymous&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Anonymous: I agree with the suggestion to meet early on in the process, but that doesn't really mitigate the problems I pointed out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you're online, you're meeting someone outside the societal vetting process, so your histories are obscured, and you're meeting with your motives out in the open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under older-fashioned conditions, it's the exact opposite: Your histories are wide open but your motives are obscured. I haven't seen anything to budge me from my belief that this stark reversal needs to be accompanied by a just-as-stark adjustment in participants' expectations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Carolyn: Online dating has some vetting built in. It requires steady Internet access and usually a credit card. And you can Google just about anyone these days. That is, if they haven't already posted info voluntarily on social networking sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What spectacular, trustworthy "societal vetting process" is going on at bars and the gym? Even accepting a blind date from a friend doesn't mean your friend vetted the person very well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Anonymous&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Anonymous: Internet access and a credit card? Not exactly high bars for potential mates to clear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm glad you brought up "bars and the gym" and blind dates. These represent the outer edge of "old-fashioned conditions." I meant meeting people through friends, at work or school, through common interests, daily life. That gives you an idea of someone's track record. Hardly foolproof, but useful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But even, say, at the gym, you can pick up signs of preening or leering, rudeness to staff, bad situational manners, along with animal-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;level information your senses pick up. Also not foolproof, but there's no denying its value. Not having these tools when you select someone is a dramatic departure from old-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;school dating, and demands just as dramatic a departure in expectations.&lt;br /&gt;http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/hax/397224_hax0124.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-661836265953849711?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/661836265953849711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=661836265953849711' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/661836265953849711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/661836265953849711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2009/01/change-expectations-with-online-dating.html' title='Change expectations with online dating'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-3681764985733400849</id><published>2009-01-12T07:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-12T07:26:40.805-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Dating Defense Doomed; Baltimore Mayor Indicted</title><content type='html'>Apparently, the dating defense is dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baltimore's popular mayor was indicted today on charges she illegally took gifts from a lobbyist ex-boyfriend, including plane tickets, fur coats and holiday gift items.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheila A. Dixon, a Democrat and and the basis for the shrewd and calculating character Naresse Campbell on HBO's "The Wire," was indicted by a grand jury on 12 counts, including four counts of perjury and two counts of theft over $500. She was also charged with theft under $500, fraudulent misappropriation by a fiduciary and misconduct in office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 55-year-old former Baltimore City councilwoman is accused of accepting gifts, including a $2,000 gift certificate at a Baltimore furrier and an airplane ticket, from her then-boyfriend, developer Ronald H. Lipscomb, whom she dated from 2003 to 2004 while he lobbied the city for millions in tax credits for development projects, the Baltimore Sun reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am being unfairly accused," Dixon said in a statement. "Time will prove that I have done nothing wrong, and I am confident that I will be found innocent of these charges."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of Dixon's business associates have already been indicted (Lipscomb has not been charged in connection with Dixon, but was indicted earlier this week on one count of bribery involving another Baltimore official, a council member, in the same public corruption probe.). Sun columnist Laura Vozzella noted in today's editions that "even if it was romance and not business, Dixon shouldn't have voted on her lover's projects, however awkward it might have been to announce: "Gotta recuse myself on this one; I'm sleeping with the developer."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dixon and Lipscomb were both married, but separated from, other people at the time of their relationship.

Blow (column, Dec. 13):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While “hooking up” and its implicit sexuality do not seem like the ideal way to start a relationship, it still sounds better than what I recall about dating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having dated extensively before settling down, I don’t recall ever having a meaningful relationship emanate from the classic dating scene. I hated the time, money and stress invested in this activity, which often led to boredom and disappointment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True romances came through group interactions within meaningful contexts, including work and other activities. I guess these were “hookup” without yet having that title.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the poor success rate of marriages of past generations, I am happy to sit back and hope that my daughters find their life partners in a more meaningful way than we were trained our whole life to do. Once they remove the knots from the new hookup scene, it sounds as if it could be the way to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Florence Berkowitz-Siegelberg&lt;br /&gt;New York, Dec. 14, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the Editor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a 23-year-old, I seem to be just outside the hookup culture as defined by Charles M. Blow. But while getting into relationships, I have reflected on the fact that I got into each of them without going on a single date. I didn’t need to; I already knew the people I was becoming romantically involved with and knew we were good matches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I was particularly intrigued by Prof. Kathleen Bogle’s quote — “Now we’ve lost that ability — the ability to just ask someone out and get to know them” — when I’ve found myself thinking just the opposite. Wasn’t it sad that men and women couldn’t get to know one another outside of the formal context set up solely to lead people to marriage?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m glad we have moved beyond that. And I am quite pleased with my dateless relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elisabeth Perlman&lt;br /&gt;Greenwich, Conn., Dec. 16, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the Editor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was disappointed to read “The Demise of Dating.” From using worn-out stereotypes best left to women’s magazines to the assumption that by engaging in hookups young people therefore no longer have the skills or the desire to get to know their peers, this latest effort to understand hookup culture brings little nuance to the discussion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I may just be under Charles M. Blow’s 30-year-old age barrier and recently married, my experience with this world is not such a distant memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my dating life, I knew men who were actively looking for long-term relationships and women who just wanted to have fun with a cute guy. It is no secret among my peers that a hookup often promises no more than a quick and fun sexual adventure and that to find a serious mate it’s going to take a lot more than a make-out session in the back room of a bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hooking up does not signal the death of meaningful emotional or intellectual relationships. It simply is an opportunity for people to experiment while on the road to more serious relationships, whenever those may happen.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/21/opinion/lweb21blow.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-468396064713692629?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/468396064713692629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=468396064713692629' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/468396064713692629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/468396064713692629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/12/trends-in-dating-and-hooking-up.html' title='Trends in Dating and ‘Hooking Up’'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-974068479180537375</id><published>2008-11-29T04:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T04:09:13.272-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Perfect Date Dating Video</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ets0xkUk17Y&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ets0xkUk17Y&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-974068479180537375?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/974068479180537375/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=974068479180537375' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/974068479180537375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/974068479180537375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/11/perfect-date-dating-video.html' title='Perfect Date Dating Video'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-2799203343500436961</id><published>2008-11-11T23:54:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-11T23:54:55.550-08:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Get a Woman to Want You - Dating Advice For Men</title><content type='html'>How to get a woman to want you is a question men are asking each and every day.

The answer to that question just may surprise you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you are considering how to get a woman to want you appearance does indeed play a key role. However, appearance isn't all about how thin you are or how groomed your hair is. Women are attracted to a man who takes the time to put himself together. You don't have to be the best looking guy in the place but you do need to take some care with what you wear and how you present yourself. Don't try anything flashy. The key is to be classy and confident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many men make the crucial mistake of trying to win the affection of a woman by impressing her with tales of a better life than they actually live. Women see through this tactic within the first few moments. If you want to know how to get a woman to want you, the answer is to be genuine with her. Don't try and wow her with stories about how exciting your life is if it's actually fairly mundane. Just play up your best features and the things you are passionate about. She'll see that you're being honest and it will draw her closer to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't leave your future with the woman you love to chance. If you are attracted to a certain woman and you want her to reciprocate those feelings, there are specific things you need to do.

A few years ago this would have been like finding a needle in a haystack. Not any more. New niche dating sites pop up each day and modern dating sites have advanced searching technology. In the short paragraphs that follow you will learn exactly how to find the women you desire. It is easy and sometimes free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put a search into your favorite search engine. Use the term hairy armpit followed by any term like dating or personals. You will be presented with some appropriate niche dating site. All of a sudden, it just got easier to find your dream date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are these niche sites any good? In all honest, no, on the whole they stink. More often than not they ask you to use a credit card and pay a huge membership fee. Is the fee worth it? Again, no, not really. These new sites popping up tend to have very few members in most towns and cities. It is quite unlikely you will find someone close by; not impossible, just unlikely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there another place to find hairy armpit women? Yes. Join one of the popular dating sites that you may have seen advertised on television. These sites have millions of members; you are almost certainly going to find someone local.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do these sites charge money to join? Actually, no they give away memberships for free. Not only that but it takes about 2 minutes to join and they never ask for a credit card. You must be wondering: so what is the catch? There is no catch. You only pay if you want to upgrade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what do you get for free? Pretty much everything you need. You get to view profiles, search for members, send messages, receive message replies, add friends. What more do you need?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, here is the big question: If you avoid the niche dating sites, how do you use the big, popular dating site to find hairy armpit women? It is simple and there are, in fact, two ingenious ways of doing this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first way you do not even have to do yourself. When you make a profile simply state that you want to meet these kind of women. The clever match-making software on the site will actually find matches on your behalf and let you know of current members who match your interest and also new members that join. Clever stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the second way involves a bit of work but the results are more than worth the effort. You need to go to search and click on the advanced link or tab. This will enable you to search for women with hairy armpits in your actual town who are online. Some will be offline but those listed first are online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now you have a list of women that are online and meet your criteria. Excellent. What you do is add as many of them as possible as friends. This way they will contact you first - always a good thing. In no time you will have an inbox full and it is time to reply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Devote some free time to chatting to these ladies. They all have hair armpits but obviously you will need to decide who you want to date first. Just remember to keep in contact with as many people as possible. If the first date fails to work out, you have hundreds more potential dates from whom to choose.&lt;br /&gt;Meet Men &amp; Women In Your Town, IT'S FREE ---&gt; Join Amateur Match Free&lt;br /&gt;Get a FREE account on one of the largest dating sites with over 8 MILLION MEMBERS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Angelina_Andrews&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-2560033734802966558?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/2560033734802966558/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=2560033734802966558' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/2560033734802966558'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/2560033734802966558'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/10/hairy-armpit-women-how-to-find-them-to.html' title='Hairy Armpit Women - How to Find Them to Date'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-5658147568211608669</id><published>2008-09-18T04:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-18T04:31:04.926-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dating expert helps women break out of midlife shell</title><content type='html'>Flirting is hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certainly, the act of batting an eyelash or two, giving a wink or smiling sweetly is not challenging, per se, but for any single woman without the genetic blessings of Christie Brinkley, channeling the necessary self-confidence can be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doing those things after a divorce, a bad breakup or just midlife can be even harder.&lt;br /&gt;That's where Joann Cohen comes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For nearly a year, the 51-year-old Scottsdale woman has worked as a dating and relationship coach, helping professionals, typically ages 35-55, figure out how to flirt, date and feel confident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When she was 45, Cohen divorced, left her job in human resources and reinvented herself, researching dating techniques. She got good at it and went pro, backing up intuition and expert advice with scientific studies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's why on a recent Friday night, she was standing next to a long table at Scottsdale's Tapino Kitchen &amp; Wine Bar, passing out materials marked "Advanced Flirting" to 15 wine- and martini-sipping women who had come to her for advice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Wild Boomer Women, a social organization for 40- to 60-something women, booked Cohen to teach this class, followed by in-field flirting at nearby Eli's American Grille.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some were freshly divorced, off the dating scene for nearly two decades; others were crippled by shyness; and others just felt unsexy, unconfident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is not the Mystery Method," Cohen said, referring to the game-playing strategy popularized on the recent VH1 show The Pick-Up Artist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The class&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was, instead, an hour and a half of dating tips, supported by scientific studies and empowering talk, with chances to practice sprinkled throughout. The women were well-dressed, with glossed lips and tasteful hair. They came to meet men. But they had notebooks and pens. They came to do it right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phoenix's Sue Barenholtz, 52, is the curvaceous, unofficial queen of the Wild Boomer Women. She had been married for nearly two decades and spoke for many in the class when she explained her flirting woes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I shrink up whenever I go to Eli's and no one ever notices me," Barenholtz said. "I want to go home as soon as I get there because I'm not flirting with anyone."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Julia French, 50, of Apache Junction, related a similar anxiety: "When there is a full room of people, I don't even want to cross into it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cohen said flirting could change all that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Women who display flirting behaviors are approached much more often than an attractive woman who doesn't flirt," Cohen said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don't know if I can believe that," Barenholtz said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Cohen remained undaunted, pointing out that Barenholtz rarely attempts flirting. To remedy that, Cohen advises being universally charismatic, with both people you're interested in and people you're not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When you flirt with everyone, you look approachable, nice and you make other people feel special," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lawyer from Chandler, Janice Palmer, 56, said that after a few failed marriages, she wants to feel sexy again but has no idea how to dress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Cohen gave advice about what kind of clothes to buy, and even whom to shop with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A 20- or 30-something daughter will never give you good advice on clothes because they want you to dress like them," Cohen said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then it was time to practice. Cohen told the women that studies show women are "50 percent more attractive when they walk with a natural sway" in their hips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Also, stop telling yourself that you're not pretty enough or chesty enough," she said. "Replace those thoughts with 'I'm sexy and I'm sassy.' "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The women laughed and catcalled each other as they practiced their new walks, and some shot their waiter, Brandon, a flirty glance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then they practiced the classic "make eye contact, look away, look back and smile" routine, one of 52 techniques Cohen teaches. She told them about the "flirting triangle," where a woman looks into a man's eyes, looks down at his mouth, and back to his eyes during conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I can't believe that some of this stuff works," said Karen Kirby, 50, of Phoenix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To prepare for Eli's, Cohen whipped out a layout of the bar and told them they were to work the room in groups of three without clustering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You will be the ones doing the approaching," Cohen said. "And don't just talk to one guy all night; really work the room and don't wait for them to ask you to dance. Ask them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some smiled nervously. Others dropped their jaws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The challenge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 9 p.m., the 15 women walked over to Eli's, and once inside, instantly clustered in the loud, crowded bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Divorced after 17 years of marriage, Beth Keller, 48, of Fountain Hills, has been single for a year and was nervous. She sat at the edge of the bar and looked down at her cocktail as though it might ask her to dance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I haven't really been out since I've been single," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But others were bolder. The once-doubting Kirby strutted around the bar, swaying her hips purposefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;French, who'd put on a jeweled crown as a flirting prop, smiled in all directions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, Keller inhaled deeply and approached a much younger man with a bald head and cute smile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They talked for three songs, Keller channeling Cohen's advice, briefly touching his shoulder, smiling and maintaining eye contact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she walked out to the dance floor and he followed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 9:45 p.m., nearly half of the women were on the dance floor with men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The others chatted up men. Kirby gushed that she'd talked with two men already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;French sashayed nearby with a wide smile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have been flirting with the youngest men tonight, and they are eating it up," she said. "I walked past a group of men, and when I looked back they were watching me. I have never had that happen and am honestly smiling from the inside out."&lt;br /&gt;http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/arizonaliving/articles/2008/09/18/20080918flirting0906.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-5658147568211608669?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/5658147568211608669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=5658147568211608669' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/5658147568211608669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/5658147568211608669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/09/dating-expert-helps-women-break-out-of.html' title='Dating expert helps women break out of midlife shell'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-1367114563389672185</id><published>2008-08-10T08:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-10T08:19:09.344-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dating and age: How low can you go?</title><content type='html'>I'm a newly single man in his late 30s with no kids and I was wondering about your views on age and dating. In my view, if I want a family of my own, I need to date younger women. But if I don't want a family or want to have stepkids, then dating same age or older is the way to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the pros and cons of older/younger? How young is too young?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds as if you have only one problem in life - and that's deciding what you want. How can I tell you if you want to have kids or not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do find it rather cold when people, male or female, pick partners as breeding machines. Why don't you just date someone you really like and are attracted to - or is that me being naively romantic?&lt;br /&gt;I have a feeling you are really curious about younger women, but worry that such a liaison would be unseemly. Have you ever heard the French maxim about suitable age differences? It's said (by arrogant and sexist old buggers) that the woman should be half the guy's age plus seven. That means the age difference will increase as you grow older. (If you're 20, she will be 17; if you're 60, she will be 37.) Hey, I'm not endorsing it; I'm just saying that large age differences are not abnormal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I myself have only one rule: If you're over 30, then women under 25 are too young. Twenty-five is the youngest any civilized guy over 30 should go. Why is this? Because people of university age - male or female - are still teenagers. I find there is an enormous difference in maturity between a 23-year-old and a 27-year-old. It's quite unlike the difference between a 27-year-old and a 37-year-old (which is trivial). People over 25 are (almost) all adults, and they are all fascinating in different ways. Their ages aren't important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was curious about popular views on this matter, so my online magazine, XYCanada.com, commissioned a survey to find out if our subscribers (about 30,000 across Canada, mostly guys, mostly single) agreed. We asked several questions: What is the optimal age difference in a relationship? What age difference is too great (if the guy is older and the woman is younger)? What is the greatest age difference in your own relationship history? And what is the most significant obstacle to dating a younger woman?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my surprise, our hip, urban guys were markedly conservative on this issue. The most popular answer was that one to five years was the optimum age difference, and that a difference of more than 10 years was insurmountable. "Differences in life experience" was the reason most often selected for not doing it. And most of them had done it: 62 per cent of respondents have had relationships where the age difference was greater than 5 years, so they are speaking from experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there you have it: many Canadian men disapprove of cradle robbing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can view the complete&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;archive of Ask Mr. Smith questions, or ask a question of your own,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by going to Russell Smith's online advisory service, XYCanada.com, and selecting your city site.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20080809.RUSSELL09/TPStory/Entertainment&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-1367114563389672185?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/1367114563389672185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=1367114563389672185' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/1367114563389672185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/1367114563389672185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/08/dating-and-age-how-low-can-you-go.html' title='Dating and age: How low can you go?'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-4684239999706461282</id><published>2008-08-01T19:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-01T19:37:22.258-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Finding Love the Not-So-Easy Way</title><content type='html'>Love is a simple word filled with many emotions. Most of us would go the extra mile if we were sure we would find true love in the end. However, it's not that easy. The first step is the hardest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most find it hard to even give dating a chance, especially if you are being set up on a blind date by a friend. Yet for the more serious type, dating is something of a prerequisite to finding the love of their life-disappointing your date on the first time would mean that this is the end of the road for the two of you. It could also be the other way around. If your date bored you the first time, then there is no reason for you to get in touch with this person again. First impression is always important. This is why some of us would do everything to impress our date-a "make or break' tactic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try to avoid acting too smart when you are on a date (but you should not act dumb either). To know the 'aperitif' is one thing, but being a wine connoisseur is another. Overdoing something would really cause more harm than good. Remember, you are dating because you are looking for that special someone. And while first impressions are key, it is what you do during the date itself that will determine whether the two of you will see each other again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply put, you just have to be yourself. There's no harm in doing that. When you are at ease you will be able to impress your date even more because he or she will sense that you are sincere and you are not there to impress them. Pretending to be something that you are not is a big no-no. You can only lie so many times-but would you be able to do that for the rest of your life or for a few months while you are dating someone? Dating in itself is a cumbersome task. Don't make it any harder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever been on a date when all you had to do was listen to all the boring stuff that your date was saying? While it feels great to let someone know more about yourself and your accomplishments, it is also good to know more about your date. Remember that dating is a two-way process. You are not supposed to do the talking all by yourself. It is important to listen to what you date is saying, when you do this you give him or her the impression that you are interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, sincerity is a major key. But you can always put some humor into it. Humor keeps any conversation light and interesting, no to mention that it's always a plus factor if you can make your date smile every once in a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chasing love brings excitement to our hearts. It is magical. It's like being a teenager falling in love for the first time. But whether we will feel this exhilaration or not would depend on how our dates go on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can learn more about Cambridge dating by visiting Cambridge singles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Marvin_W_Perry&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-4684239999706461282?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/4684239999706461282/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=4684239999706461282' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/4684239999706461282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/4684239999706461282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/08/finding-love-not-so-easy-way.html' title='Finding Love the Not-So-Easy Way'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-4992745870386842407</id><published>2008-07-27T03:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T03:45:52.931-07:00</updated><title type='text'>First Date - 3 Tips Men Need to Know</title><content type='html'>I known how tough it can be for men trying to figure out what women want - especially on a first date when you don't know much about the woman sitting across from you.&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately for men, women really do think that you can read their mind. Women assume that you have picked up on all the subtle (really subtle!) clues that they've given you and will show up on the date knowing EXACTLY how she wants the entire evening to go.&lt;br /&gt;So if you can't read a woman's mind, how can you make a good impression?&lt;br /&gt;Well, having coached hundreds of women for the past 12 years I've had plenty of opportunity to hear what women want a first date to look like. So, to ease the pressure for all the guys out there dating - and to help you 'read their mind' a little - I'm giving you a list of the top 3 'wants' that stand out.&lt;br /&gt;For some men, these tips might be obvious and something you're already doing. That's great! For those of you who might be a little rusty, I encourage you to make all three a constant practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Chivalry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opening the door, helping her with her coat, letting her enter the restaurant first and pulling out her chair are all things that women appreciate. As a man, you may have tried this in the past and found women not very receptive to these small gestures. Please forgive those who don't respond positively. Women are still striving for equality and sometimes take these small chivalrous acts as an affront to their independence. I encourage you to ignore any negative response you get and do it anyway. Believe me, they'll go home remembering how nice it felt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Ask Questions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All men want to make a great first impression and sometimes how you do this is by listing off all of your accomplishments and what you've produced out in the world. This may work well when you're relating with other men, but it doesn't work with women. She may politely listen, but what she really wants is for you to get the attention back on her. Women love attention and the best way to keep attention on her is to ask questions. Find out what she's passionate about, her favorite trip, who she loves the most in her family, who her best friend is and why their best friends etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Call The Next Day, I repeat, Call The Next Day&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing tears a woman up inside more then when she has a fun date with a man doesn't hear from him for a week. I understand as a man a first date is like a job interview. If you had an interview with a company, you wouldn't call the next day to find out if you got the job because it might make you look desperate. What works in the business world has the opposite effect in the dating world with women. If you don't email or call the next day - even if it's just to say you "had a great time" - she'll start to think something's wrong. After 2 days she's hurt and doubting herself. After 4 days she's annoyed and doubting YOU. By day 7 you're toast! Even if you don't plan to date her again, send an email thanking her and "wish her well".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sending you lots of love and wishing you tremendous dating and relationship success!&lt;br /&gt;http://ezinearticles.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-4992745870386842407?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/4992745870386842407/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=4992745870386842407' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/4992745870386842407'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/4992745870386842407'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/07/first-date-3-tips-men-need-to-know.html' title='First Date - 3 Tips Men Need to Know'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-1089338448882677950</id><published>2008-07-18T20:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-18T20:16:33.107-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Speed and Singles Dating Essentials</title><content type='html'>Both speed dating and Internet dating are rather new practices that have taken off recently because the benefits are nearly endless. The advantages of online dating are obvious; browsing profiles and pictures in the comfort of your own home (or at your place of work). No matter if you're a women or a man the rules are much different then they were even ten years ago due to this knew phenomenon of Online dating. The research is indicating that the reasons behind the growing trend are fundamentally a changing social trend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which aspects of speed dating are important, which are essential, and which ones can you take or leave? Most people who try it are successful in getting follow up dates with someone they really want to see again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally, people who go Speed Dating are just singles that enjoy a night out and are keen to meet other people. The long-term goal of this type of dating and traditional dating are the same, to develop a positive, meaningful relationship. Those that succeed in speed dating are typically individuals that are ready for a change and are willing to take a chance. This is primarily because people who sign up are looking to meet people based on other criteria, rather than just looks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a sad fact that nearly 1/4th of people who participate in online dating are married. Despite what some people believe, love and dating are two separate entities. Many people are getting hurt because they put to much on the line when it comes to dating. The stories that worry me are when people get engaged or go on long trips with people they have never met in person. While these cases are indeed alarming, the dangers are common to all forms of dating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The singles dating scene is becoming increasingly popular as more and more men and women sign up to dating web sites. To find a single online is easy as the internet is filled with numerous websites offering services to singles. For most singles dating is a numbers game and this can be a daunting task for those who find the the scene uncomfortable, confronting and challenging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finding a single online is the way of the future and the number of single women and men who are making themselves available online, is increasing daily. Another good word of advice for senior singles dating is that people want to find someone that can take care of themselves. The best thing you can do when it comes to online singles relationships is to show other potential mates your lighter side. It is for meeting friends, finding love and relationships and for those looking for a friendship and companionship in a regular relationship.&lt;br /&gt;http://ezinearticles.com/?Speed-and-Singles-Dating-Essentials&amp;id=1320665&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-1089338448882677950?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/1089338448882677950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=1089338448882677950' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/1089338448882677950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/1089338448882677950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/07/speed-and-singles-dating-essentials.html' title='Speed and Singles Dating Essentials'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-6957677987409838287</id><published>2008-07-12T06:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-12T06:24:43.555-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Online Dating Advice - Bringing it to the Table</title><content type='html'>You read some online dating profiles and it's like the person you are trying to hook up with stepped out of a dream. Attractive, exciting, interesting, compatible and all that other good stuff. The initial online chatting tells you that you are onto something first-rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each time you talk the both of you share a little bit more of yourselves. It seems like you two were meant to be together and now it becomes only a matter of time and logistics before that first face to face meeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least that was the direction you were heading until your last online discussion. The other person casually mentioned some of their likes and dislikes about being in a relationship; nothing extreme really. When the conversation turned your way, you started with the laundry list. You gave chapter, verse and painfully excruciating detail about what you wanted in a relationship. This would not have been so bad if you had included some of things you bring to the table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't. Your list put the lion's share of responsibly on the other person. You are looking for a partner that does this, says that, gives you this, accepts certain things in a certain way and a whole host of other items. After this chat, the would-be suitor decides there is no way they can live up to all that and decides to move along to greener and less demanding pastures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is common in online dating just like the offline world to reach the conclusion that after a few chats, it's just not going to work but coming to the table with a "to do" list is a surefire recipe for ending any potential romance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Growing a relationship is about give and take. It's also accepting the fact that no one person can satisfy the other every minute of the day. Human beings are flawed so if you want to be with someone, you have to take the bitter with the sweet. It's not that you are lowering your standards it's more about facing up to reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you start laying it out to someone concerning what you are looking for in a potential partner in very demanding terms, then they may feel that's a mountain not worth climbing. Even if they decide to give it a go, how can they be sure you won't be there to grade them every step of the way?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead do that person and yourself a favor by mentioning what you bring to the relationship. Yes tell them your likes and dislikes but let the other person know that both of you are sharing the responsibility of making this relationship work. There's something about being on the same level that makes both parties comfortable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yes you are going to have to bite your tongue a time or two. There is no such thing as perfect compatibility so when their tastes go in another direction you are going to have to decide what's more important: letting them be who they are or does it adhere to your list. It's a tough call but unless it is something extreme that you know there is no way on earth you could live with, then give them the benefit of the doubt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember you are not lowering your standards to the point it makes the other person happy and you miserable. That's not going to work. It's is about recognizing that few if anyone can live up to a list of ideals.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.ezinearticles.com/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-6957677987409838287?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/6957677987409838287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=6957677987409838287' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/6957677987409838287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/6957677987409838287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/07/online-dating-advice-bringing-it-to.html' title='Online Dating Advice - Bringing it to the Table'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-1129193495194212588</id><published>2008-06-14T03:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-14T03:59:22.651-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Perfect Date Dating Video</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ets0xkUk17Y&amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ets0xkUk17Y&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-1129193495194212588?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/1129193495194212588/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=1129193495194212588' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/1129193495194212588'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/1129193495194212588'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/06/perfect-date-dating-video.html' title='Perfect Date Dating Video'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-8669457447835920077</id><published>2008-05-26T06:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-26T06:35:00.167-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Enjoy Variety Through Asian Dating</title><content type='html'>Asian dating has always been fun. But unfortunately you have gone through that long list; the blonds, brunets and even the redheads. You know them all, you have been there and come back. Asian dating is here to break this monotony, to spice up your dating world. To bring variety and diversity and the exotic nature of Asian dating.

We dream of that man or woman who will come into our lives and chase all those clouds of loneliness away. We want to be with that special person who understands us, adores us, loves us and is one with us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea of soul mates is not a new one and could very safely be said to be as old as the history of man himself. There is something within men and women that makes them seek out that special relationship with that special someone; that someone that is supposedly made especially for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately for too many though, the dream of finding their soul mate remains just that, a dream. These days, lots of people are starting to actually abandon this dream. However, the truth is that we really don't have to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finding our soul mates is a possible and attainable goal when we go about it the right way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my life as a single person I have had the privilege dating quite a number of wonderful ladies. In the course of all those dates I have come across some truly astounding women and some "ok" women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the things that I have come to believe is that we don't really have one soul mate. On the contrary, we have soul mates. Sounds kind of bizarre I know but that has been my experience in life and with women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why I don't believe that saying that says love comes only once in a persons life time. In my opinion, love comes more than once. In fact I would say that love comes many times in one's life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now here is the question. If love comes many times over is there any need to value the love you've found now (especially since they are not perfect) if you could toss it away and find love again (and maybe someone better too) just around the corner? Why not trade the love you've found now for a better one?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's the catch. Each love experience is real and is unique. That's great to know actually but that's not the reason why you shouldn't be in a hurry to play around with the love you've found now. The real problem is that I have found that with most people, finding love takes time. In other words while you might always be able to find someone new to love and who loves you back in return, if you let go of your present love, chances are that it could take you anywhere from six months to three years or more to find a new love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line is, take good care of the love you find because while you may always be able to find love if you wait long enough, finding true love takes time and too many times time is something we don't have enough of. If you doubt me ask a 55yr old man or woman who is looking for love. In my opinion they really don't have the luxury of dumping their old love in search for a new one just for the fun of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, enough of the blabbering. How really can one find ones soul mate? Below are outlined some steps that will definitely come in handy in your quest to locate you soul mate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. know who you are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's essential that you know who you are, know what you want, and know what it would take to satisfy you. In order for you to be adequately able to know what it will take to satisfy you in a mate you have to first have a healthy understanding of who your are. If you do not understand yourself, you will find it difficult to recognize the sort of person who will give you the love and understanding that you seek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know your strengths and your weaknesses. When you know this, it becomes easy to be able to identify the sort of person who will compliment you. One of the characteristics of a soul mate is that they compliment you. In other words, they are strong in lots of places in which you are weak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. know what you want&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have gotten a good understanding of who you are, (your strengths, weaknesses and all), it becomes easier to recognize and identify the right man or woman for you. To really make this picture of who you want to be with clearer, I would suggest you took out some time to outline at least ten basic characteristics or behavioral and personality traits that your kind of person should have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's like creating a shopping list. With a well prepared list it becomes easier for you to stay focused when you go "spouse shopping" and not to waste your valuable resources of time, energy and emotions on non-suitable members of the opposite sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Become better&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too often we neglect to get on with our lives and to achieve our dreams in other areas of our lives because we are too busy waiting for our soul mates; waiting for love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unknowingly, too many people sabotage their chances of finding their soul mates and true love at that, by this very approach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone loves a winner and the more confident and developed our intellects and our minds are the more attractive we are likely to be to members of the opposite sex. In your search for through love you must resist the temptation to put your life on hold. Don't let go of your dreams because you are too busy waiting for love to find you. Live your dreams instead and achieve your goals. In the process, you will unconsciously attract the love you desire through your new found self confidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Prepare to meet your soul mate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most important skills we can develop as human beings is the skill of effective communication. Another important skill that we need to learn to help us have more success in our relationships in the skill of conflict resolution. When a couple learns to communicate properly, lots of unnecessary arguments are avoided and life as a couple tends to be much more enjoyable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't just sit on your butt doing nothing and waiting for love to find you, prepare to meet your soul mate. Read books, attend seminars, watch T.V program and get as much information as possible on how to build and sustain healthy and fulfilling intimate relationships with members of the opposite sex. Contrary to what the romance novels would make us believe, a good, fulfilling and successful relationship takes work and smart work at that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to know what to do, how to handle conflict and how to get the best out your relationship if you want to avoid getting into unnecessary squabbles or worse still, losing your soul mate to a smarter more informed adversary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Pray&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, last but not least, you need to learn to pray. Ok maybe you are not into religion but I must tell you that there is certainly something about meeting that special someone that is clearly divine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There have been times when I was not very socially active and I have met some truly astounding women; women that could easily pass for my soul mate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, there have been other times when I have been out there seriously single and searching but while I managed to meet ten times as much women at such times I have never been able to find a special woman through this approach. What I got when I went all out aggressively searching and depending on my own ability to chat up women was quantity but not quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my experience, while you should not neglect opportunities to prepare to find love or learn the best line or approaches for meeting men or women, it is necessary that you get God involved in your searching if you really want to get it right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that there is at least one right person for everyone on this planet. The challenge however is to get these two well suited people who have been searching for each other since they were both fifteen to meet. The love you seek or have been seeking for the past eight years might just be a few blocks away from you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is that it's really no use knowing how to sweep women of their feet if you never get the chance to use your skills in wooing the girl of your dreams; your soul mate. You need to get to meet her before you will get the opportunity to woo her. The same goes for a woman. It's no use knowing how to make every man feel attraction for you if you never get the chance to use your charms on the one that fulfills you. Lots of women know how to get a man's attention but unfortunately they have only been able to attract heart breakers and men who do not have their best interests at heart. That's where divine intervention comes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you ask me, it takes divine intervention to orchestrate fate in such a way that two perfect strangers in a park and in the midst of hundreds of other people get the chance to notice each other, to see that glimmer in each others eyes as they stare at each other across the park. To feel their hearts skip a beat as they feel that special sensation start to flow through their veins. To reach out with trusting abandonment for each other as they seek to take hold of that for which they have searched for all their lives. If you ask me, only God can make this happen.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.ezinearticles.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-987715479732501011?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/987715479732501011/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=987715479732501011' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/987715479732501011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/987715479732501011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/05/finding-your-soul-mate.html' title='Finding Your Soul Mate'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-425598199118058082.post-5640238834727657163</id><published>2008-04-26T22:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-26T22:19:21.362-07:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Ways To Turn A Date Into A Hit - Experts on dating Tips</title><content type='html'>If you're still trying out the old and tested formula of taking your date out for a romantic dinner or for a movie, can it or soon she will can you for ever and find someone more interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are 5 ways to deviate from the usual clichéd dates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it personal: It's time to try and remember every conversation that you had. Recollect what she likes, what she hasn't done in a while or has always wanted to try. Base a date revolved around these things and she'll thoroughly enjoy it as well as you for coming up with it. If she likes flowers, take her to a flower show. A few hours anywhere she likes is not going to kill you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it outside: Why be confined to four walls when you can enjoy a sensual experience together by getting out there in the sun and wind and even rain. A lovely picnic or a nice summer's drive with the windows down can be exhilarating. Just be sure of giving her a hint before hand which elements to encounter. She wouldn't dare step down in her favorite stilettos if a picnic spot you've chosen takes a 20 minute trek to get there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it cultural: Go attend plays, a book reading, or pay a visit to the museum. They're interesting, they're classy and you'll have a lot to talk about once you head back home and start talking to each other on the phone. Going for a movie like Jodha Akbar is not cultural!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it active: Chatting over coffee, over a romantic meal or on the park bench is great but not on the first few dates where you keep tripping over the 'umms' and 'ahhs' every once in 5 seconds. The best way to know each other is by doing something that's actively fun like playing a sport together. That way you'll have lots to share without the awkward pauses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it your own: Most guys go on dates with suggestions on what to do and not to by their guy pals rather than coming up with their own idea which makes them feel comfortable. Plan a date that reflects who you are and what you generally enjoy doing. It's for you to enjoy and not pretend to be enjoying it with 10 dating pointers running at the back of your mind.&lt;br /&gt;http://www.ezinearticles.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/425598199118058082-5640238834727657163?l=dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/5640238834727657163/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=425598199118058082&amp;postID=5640238834727657163' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/5640238834727657163'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/425598199118058082/posts/default/5640238834727657163'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dating-dating-tips.blogspot.com/2008/04/5-ways-to-turn-date-into-hit-experts-on.html' title='5 Ways To Turn A Date Into A Hit - Experts on dating Tips'/><author><name>zonkette</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13376935799139865406'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
