Dating tips – The ultimate dating advice

In the modern world everything is faster. People are used to get what they want in lesser time and in better quality.

Human interaction is decreasing hand in hand with our social skills. This is what makes dating one of the biggest problems of the modern era.

It begins with the great difficulty of meeting new people, in our small existence of schoolofficehome, it is hard to be exposed to novelties on a frequent basis. Even when you do come across new people, there is the indecision of how to interact with them on the initial level. Finally, after you got yourself a date, the hardest of it all is, of course, how to survive it successfully.

Not only young people are frustrated about dating, but also the increase in divorce rates and the easiness of living overseas, creates growing circle of lonely single people who seek relationships and love.

In my articles I will offer every time a new insight and advice. Starting with the initial stage of 'how to meet new people' and going through all the possible subjects that relate to the dating scene.

The most important thing to remember is that first of all dating is a game and therefore, should be fun. Some people treat dating as a mission to overcome or as a world that needs to be conquered. We must remember that the consequences of successful dating are mainly the bliss of having another person to be with and enjoy mutual things with; therefore the road that leads to this outcome should be equally joyous and satisfying. If at any point of the process you feel hurt, used or humiliated, there is no point in going on dating the person who causes these feelings.

On the other hand, this world requires certain qualities that are sometimes hard to obtain without practice. Remember that relationship is a game for two (or more) players, so you have to play your part in order to advance the game, but also remain attentive to the other's moves all along the road

Dating Tips: There Is This One Special Girl I'm Longing For

Be honest. It has happened to all of us. There was this girl... A girl you might have never even talked to... But still... You couldn't help but think about her all day... And the more you thought about her, the less courage you had to go up to her and invite her for a get-together.

The above situation repeats itself from time to time. Back in high school with the girl who went one class below you, at university with that wonderful woman who always sat in the second row or later with the lady who works at the room next to yours.

And the damn feeling, this one-sided "love" keeps reappearing and making your life a misery. The more you idolize these girls, the further they go from your reality, and being with them one day in the future becomes nothing more than a mere fantasy.

Lesson #1: In a relationship but more importantly, when going out for the first time with somebody, it's always the person with less emotional involvement who dictates and chooses. This means if you go out with a girl and you let your happiness depend on how the date goes, you are ruining your chances before you had any. The more you stress yourself about a certain girl, the more emotionally involved you become and as a result, you are almost GUARANTEED to get rejected.

Lesson #2: Girls like to look up to their men for something. If you ask some girls who are in love with their partners, they will always adore him for something in his personality. It doesn't matter why, but a woman has to look up to her man. If you idolize a girl and put her on a pedestal, she will sense it instantly. She will feel that SHE IS THE ONE IN CONTROL. As soon as this happens, you are NOT A CHALLENGE for her anymore. The result? You get rejected.

Lesson #3: When you have to work hard for your chocolate, it will always taste sweeter. If you walk into the supermarket and choose one from the huge collection of sweets, there is no challenge in it. But when you have to work hard to get that "one special" chocolate... Now that's a CHALLENGE! It's the same with women. If you are not that easy to get, if she senses that you might leave (and don't come back) in any moment, she will be challenged and likely to become attracted to you.

Have you ever seen 8 guys drooling over the same woman, fighting for her attention? Which one of them do you think has got the girl? The 9 th, who was watching from a distance while showing no interest towards her. The girl thought: "Why doesn't he come here like all the other guys? Doesn't he like me? I must find out why..." In the end, it was the girl who approached the guy and wanted something from him. Now that's the POWER OF CHALLENGE and CURIOSITY. Never underestimate it!

When you think you "love" a girl you have never even talked to, you keep going round and round in a vicious circle. You keep playing with the thought of being with this "one special girl" in various situations. This projection of pictures in your mind creates a lot of energy. This energy wants to explode and unless it can do so (by being with the girl you dream about) it will create a lot of stress and tension inside you. It's an endless loop. If you try to ignore the feeling with force, it will reappear and become even stronger.

Realize that this is not "real love"; it's just a form of LUST TO POSSESS. You don't even know this girl; you are just driving yourself around in this circle. The solution? First, admit this feeling to yourself, then carry on with your life. Don't ignore it; just notice that it's inside and you can't do anything about it. Try to watch yourself from "the outside", from a neutral point of view. And the second step is to focus your energy on something else. Like going out and meeting other women. As soon as you kiss or get closer to another girl, this "one special lady" will be of less importance to you.

Lastly, there is a secret. Even the biggest badass players get this feeling from time to time. They just learn to deal with it, and thanks to their skills, it's easier for them to get other women and focus on them instead. You can do yourself two big favors. First, learn to get over your fear and approach the woman you are longing for. That way even if you get rejected, it happens sooner and you haven't wasted weeks or months from your life. The second is to learn how to get women. Not only for knowing how to deal with this girl, but with that skill, it will also be easier to heal your wounds and get over her.

I teach both of these in a book I've written. It's an e-book called "All About Women: The Encyclopedia Of Seduction". Apart from the above, I cover each step of the seduction process, from A to the Z. From understanding the way women think, to learning to be a Man who attracts girls with his presence, approaching women the right way, secrets of making your dates successful and effective, improving your sexual life and a lot, lot more... Whether you are ugly, bald, young, old or broke, the techniques I teach will work for you like charm!

Giuseppe Notte has created "All About Women", the *ultimate* guide on turning YOU, the average guy into a sex-magnet who gets the most beautiful girls - whether you are fat, ugly, bald, young or broke!

Interracial sex dating and singles

You go about an open mind, interracial dating can be very thrilling, fun, and an experience of a lifetime. If you are still trapped in the cultural hate barrier or have ignorance of other culture or worst fear of foreign societies do not go for dating Interracial. Stick to your own kind. The issues of black dating are well known in open.

If you wish to successfully date a person from another culture then you should know how to. Interracial relationships are much deplored and looked down upon with disdain in many societies or by persons who are still trapped in stickler ideologies or believe in racial superiority, which is the biggest bane among human kind on earth. Any way adult sex dating among Interracial singles, lesbian personals, couples and swingers is much in practice especially among liberal communities. Now a days long-term relationships or matrimony is quiet popular.

Interracial dating single women for love and romance or long-term relationship can be a huge success if you care to learn about the culture of the person you are going to dating. This should not be a copybook exercise but rather being receptive with an open mind. Your date will herself introduce you to her culture and you will your's to her. This is not a cultural interaction exercise that I am advocating. What I wish to convey is that culture or racial characteristics are an inherent part of us, and until unless you are not familiar with some basic aspects and of it, you will find it very difficult to gel with your date from different background.

Internet is a general platform that brings all types of peoples, community and culture and societies together that need not be emphasized, as it is a well-known fact. So what is wrong with enjoying life or sex with a person of other race? We are all mankind after all.

Language is the biggest obstruction and learning some simple, useful words quickly take the relationship much better and additional. Some habits like food, dress, customs, and lifestyle can be uncomfortable at first. Do not belligerently criticize practices that is peculiar to you date's community without understand the issues behind them. This is a first step of relationship building and it can be difficult and awkward at times like a foreign object in one's eye.

You will settle down things fast and just going about with an open mind. Remember, however demeaning it may sound, you are going to experience a foreign flavor it love, romance or sex is. This is a give and take relationship. You share not only mind and body but also each other's unusual characteristics and fact, which can be a wonderful experience. An experience, which is not possible in a homogeneous relationship.

How Dating Online Sites Work

Online dating is really not that different from "offline" dating. With online dating you simply use a computer connected to the Internet to browse web sites that offer dating services to find a date by searching profiles that interest you. Both men and women can use these dating online sites. Some dating online sites allow you to browse their profiles for free while others charge a small fee to allow access to their data base.

The basic model of an online dating site is actually very simple. As a user of dating sites online, you are required to create a profile of yourself, which is stored in the site's server. With your profile available online, all other members that are part of the same online dating site will be able to find you. All dating online sites run a powerful search program that can match profiles on the basis of age, gender, community, interests etc.

While most dating services online provide free registration, you will undoubtedly want to become a paid member if you really want to take advantage of the more advanced features of your membership. As a free member, you'll probably have access to a few profiles. The pricing strategy for paid memberships varies from site to site. The payment also has several layers. The maximum access is provided to those users who pay the highest rates.

As an upgraded (paid) member, you have many more advantages over the free members. Take privacy as an example. Privacy is a very important matter. Most paid dating online services are very picky about the privacy of their users. To protect you, they usually route the contact mails through their mail server so that neither party will ever see the actual mail address of the other. In fact, some dating online sites advise their users getting a free email account exclusively for online dating. All of this protection does not happen in the case of free web sites; all your personal information is visible to everyone! As soon as you upgrade your membership you have total access to the advanced features of the online dating service site - to post, browse profiles, etc. Also, keep in mind that only paid members can contact other members. In addition, as a paid member you are also entitled to a higher ranking in search results.

As in the real world, there are certain precautions you must take in consideration when using dating sites online. If you are just getting your feet wet on the online dating world it is recommended that you avoid mentioning personal information such as your full name, address, phone number, social security number, place of employment, etc. This is the most basic advice you must follow in order to avoid unwanted experiences like being the victim to cyber stalkers.

There's something you must not forget though. You should always enter your interests in full as part of your profile; there is no harm in doing this. And this will help you attract many prospect dates that are interested in knowing more about you. Otherwise, you'll never be noticed! It also makes sense to add a good photograph of yourself in your profile. It has been proven that profiles with photographs get much better results than profiles without photographs.

Once you become familiar with the different features that your online dating service membership offers, you'll be more than ready to really start making use of the online dating site. When it comes to making your first communication, you should make it through mail. A second great feature that you'll definitely want to use in the near future is voice communication. Of course you'll do this only when you've developed a liking for your online friend. But... hold on - not too fast! Even if you've come to this point you should not give your landline number. The most recommended tip is to use your mobile first. This way, you won't be revealing your home address. And if things really get smooth, then you should try inviting your online friend to a date and meet him/her for the very first time in the real world. Good luck!

Christian Dating Advice for the Real World

Christian dating advice runs the gamut from "don't date at all," to "you can date anyone and change them if you like them." Neither of these is practical in today's world. If you don't ever date, you're going to have a hard time establishing a more significant relationship, and trying to change or convert someone is a recipe for disaster. Today's Christian dating, advice from experts aside, can be successful and enjoyable if you keep a few things in mind.

Let People Know You are Open to Dating

While you may have heard horror stories about blind dates, a surprising number of them are successful. After all, who better to help you find a potential date than Christian friends?

Don't Preach

When you do go on a date, be up front about your beliefs without preaching. This isn't the time to convert an unbeliever, but it is the time to make it clear that the Lord is central to your life. If he or she respects this and shares this passion for God, you're off to a great start.

Don't Date an Unbeliever

Dating should, of course, always be enjoyable, but don't compromise just to have somebody to do something with on a Saturday night. If you're not sure where someone stands on their faith, you can certainly go out a few times and explore the issues. If it's clear the person isn't an active Christian, move on. Thank him or her for a wonderful time and reassure them that you want to remain friends, but stand firm that any serious relationship must be God-centered first and foremost.

Try Christian Dating Sites

If you are considering online dating, check out several sites that advertise that they are for Christians. Many of these even allow you to narrow your search by denomination so that you can find someone whose doctrinal beliefs and practices will be in tune with yours. These sites also often have single Christian dating advice of their own that can be helpful.

Avoid Temptation

As a Christian, you know that giving into lust or sexual intimacy is wrong. Dating can make resisting temptation difficult, especially when you're physically attracted to someone. Don't give yourself the opportunity to confuse affection or love with lust. Date in public places such as restaurants, museums, movies, etc. If you've dated a few times, invite him or her to join you in relaxing with family or friends – group activities are a great way to enjoy each other's company while keeping temptation to a minimum. Remember this Christian dating advice: a relationship should be about love and respect, not lust.

Be Honest with Yourself

Is the person you're dating someone you would be proud to take to your church and introduce to your family? If something about him or her makes you feel like you would need to defend them against criticism by those who love you the most, take heed! Those closest to you can see sometimes see more clearly than you do because attraction doesn't cloud their vision.

About Committing Yourself

Proverbs 4:23 says, "Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." There is no better rule for dating than this Old Testament admonishment. And consider this Christian dating advice: commitment doesn't happen after two or three dates. Keep your innermost secrets until you have become truly close emotionally and spiritually. Latching onto someone too soon means you could get hurt – especially if you begin to abandon your commitment to Christ in order to make that other person happy.

Pray for Guidance

Opening your heart to God and asking His counsel and guidance will point you in the right direction. Sometimes just refocusing through prayer will lead you to a better understanding of where your dating relationship is going and if it is right for you.

If you keep the above Christian dating advice in mind, you'll not only have the opportunity to meet and date other Christians, you are more likely to end up in a strong, Godly marriage.

Senior Dating Tips

Fifty plus and wish to start dating again after a long long gap. Many would think it is an overwhelming task- especially when dates are difficult to find at that age. No it isn't. Start searching on an online adult dating site in a category dedicated to senior dating. Searching through dating sites is easy.

The first step is to become a member by giving your details including your User Id and email address. These sites have a privacy policy so that there is no fear of your personal detail falling in the wrong hand. Next add your profile with a photo for higher visibility. Now you can let others find you or you find your types by browsing the profiles.

There are profiles of thousands of sexy singles, couples over fifty waiting for you. Once you have chosen a profile, contact by email or instant messaging or if the date is online, invite to have a chat using a video or a web cam. These tools are very user friendly and highly effective.

While there are no absolutes in senior dating, there are a few tips that may help calm you and increase your chance of success:

One purpose of every first date is to decide whether you want a second one. With that in mind, plan a date that encourages conversation and helps you get to know each other.

Tailor your first date to include a common interest, hobby which helps establish an immediate connection around that has meaning for both of you. There are gay personals and lesbian personals categories available for those seeking alternate sex.

A meal on your first date? Make it lunch and combine it with some fun activity so that you have more things to talk about while you eat. Dinner implies more intimacy yet to come into picture.

If the whole idea of dating makes you nervous, consider joining group dating club or participate in a group activity.

Be smart, be safe, and have an exit strategy. You are going out with someone you don't know well, so stick to public places and tell someone you trust who you're meeting and where you'll be. If you start to feel uneasy about the person you're with, and then leave

Overcoming Jealousy: Jealous Dating

Jealousy is one of the most destructive and painful emotions in a dating relationship. A jealous dater can think and do some whacky things he or she would not normally think of doing. That's why overcoming jealousy when it crops up is so important.

According to a North American survey of marriage counselors, 33% of all couples in marriage counseling have jealousy problems as a root issue. Since jealousy is a univesral emotion, I suspect European, Asian, African, South American Asian couples have similar dealings with jealousy.

Among Christian single couples, jealousy affects both traditional dating and courtship love relationships.

Just what does it mean to be jealous? Webster's Dictionary rightly defines jealousy as a "fearfulness or wariness of being replaced by a rival." In a dating or romantic relationship, this means the jealous girlfriend or jealous guy suspects there is a rival for the affection or attention of their partner. The object of the dater's jealousy could be an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, (the most frequent complaint) or other things such as the person's children, job or even the family dog. (Don't laugh about the dog, I once had a Family Court case related to this issue)

The problem with jealousy is that there are several kinds, which can get a little confusing. For example, there is God's jealousy (Exodus 20:5), which is always holy, just, and desirous of others' wellbeing. Then there is human jealousy, which often ends with disasterous results. Solomon writes of this kind in Song of Songs: "Jealousy is as cruel as the grave" (Sgs 8:6).

As sinners, we all need to learn how to cope with the human kind of jealousy, whether we experience it in our own hearts, or have others being jealous of us.

Most singles are able to control the acting out their jealous impulses. However, overcoming jealousy for others is almost impossible without God's help. This form of jealousy is pathological, and could lead to the crimes of passion we often read about in the newspapers, or see in movies.

As a single Christian seeking true love in a relationship, it's very important for your own dating safety to know some "red flag" signs of a pathologically jealous person.

Red Flags of Jealousy Out of Control

The dating or courtship partner continually accuses the other of being unfaithful when there is no basis for him or her to think this way.

The jealous person checks phone bills, emails or the cell phone directory to check the partner's records of communication. They may even forbid their romantic partner to speak with certain members of the opposite sex.

The jealous dating partner forbids (ie: orders) the other single dater what he or she can and cannot wear in public.

The person with jealousy issues may go through the personal belongings of the other party looking for "evidence" of unfaithfulness

The person with out-of-control jealousy may follow, or have one of their friends follow the other person to make sure they are being faithful. In extreme cases they may even 'bug" the home using electronic equipment.

The jealous party will keep tabs on their date by calling them constantly throughout the day. They may give an excuse ("I just missed you") as to why they are calling so frequently, but in fact are distrustful of them.

The jealous person may want to be with the other person 24/7, and if the other single resists, there may be a physcial or emotional outburst.

The jealous dating partner forces the other to give account of all their free time away from them.

The person with pathological jealousy may threaten to do physical harm to themselves or to their dating partner.

If you are a single Christian in any kind dating relationship where one or more of the above jealousy red flags exist, we recommend:

Lovingly communicating to your friend that they need professional help.

Consider getting out of the relationship as soon as you can to ensure your own safety. While you may be tempted to stay in an effort to change them, or the jealous partner may make an emotional promise of change, please don't give in.


Overcoming Jealousy

Overcoming jealousy will be easier if you understand its origin. Ask yourself: "Do my feelings have a basis in fact (the behavior of the dating partner), or are they coming from my own insecurity?"

If there is actually something the other party is doing that is inciting you to be jealous, have a heart to heart discussion with them. Often, an honest exchange of feelings will solve the problem.

Understand that your jealous behavior may actually drive away your date, the very thing you feared might happen

Admit you have a problem and seek guidance from trusted freinds who know your situation, and/or an understanding Christian counselor or minister.

Practical Dating Advice for Gays and Lesbians

Dating advice for gays and lesbians isn't that much different from dating advice for anyone else. After all, everyone is looking for a date or partner they are compatible with who will show mutual respect and affection. It can be more difficult, however, to know how to proceed since there are nuances and potential problems that are unique to dating when you are homosexual. I've put together some practical dating advice for gays and lesbians that apply to a variety of situations.

Come Out of the Closet

If the person you're attracted to is already a friend, you can deal with it honestly and be straight-forward. Simply admit that you're attracted to him or her, and have been wondering if they feel the same way. If they are, make plans to get together on an official date. If they say they don't really think of you that way, be gracious and willing to continue being friends.

Great Places to Meet

Check out gay and lesbian bookstores and clothing stores in your area. You may meet someone terrific, and you can ask knowledgeable staff where some of the hot spots are in the area. Also be sure to check out the bulletin boards at bookstores – these will often list special events that can be a great place to meet people.

Look for the Pink Pages

This is a locally published list or newsletter in most larger cities that list events, clubs, bars, etc. that cater to gays and lesbians. Try visiting a few new spots each week – you'll meet plenty of new friends even if you don't find romance.

Check Out Some Courses at Your Local College

Most schools now offer several courses listed under something like "Gay and Lesbian Studies." Signing up for a few classes will not only broaden your intellectual horizons, it will give you a great way to start conversations with fellow class members.

Consider Activism

Groups promoting gay and lesbian rights are filled with intelligent, interesting people who tend to be social and multi-faceted. By doing more for the gay and lesbian community, you'll naturally meet more members of it.

Always Look Your Best

This sounds trite, but it's usually when you're not looking that you stumble onto meeting someone terrific! The key to this is keeping your mind open to unexpected opportunities. All other dating advice for gays and lesbians is beside the point if you aren't open to the possibilities when an unexpected opportunity arrives.

Consider Dating Outside Your "Type"

If you focus only on trying to find your dream date (tall, dark hair, with a specific look, for instance), you might miss the opportunity to get to know someone incredible. Don't automatically think that someone is too butch, too femme or too this or that. Go out a few times and you may surprise yourself. If not, remain friends and you'll both be able to introduce each other to friends.

Consider Internet Dating

If you are comfortable with the idea, consider Internet dating. There are dozens of sites giving dating advice and opportunities to meet gay and lesbians. These range from racy ones for quick, physical relationships to matchmaking services geared specifically to professionals looking for a life-long commitment. If you do decide to try one of these services, be sure you're aware of some of the more common acronyms used:


ALT – alternative lifestyle

BDSM – bondage, dominance and sadomasochism

Bear – a bearded man

BiF – bisexual female

BiM – bisexual male

CD – cross-dresser

DDF – drug and disease free

FTM – female to male transsexual

MTF – male to female transsexual

POS – HIV+

FEMS – a gay male who leans to the feminine side

As you can tell, dating advice for gays and lesbians is about being open to all possibilities and treating others with respect. It's good advice for anyone looking for a relationship, and will give you the opportunity to make some friends along the way

Online Dating Advice – Avoiding Internet Dating Pitfalls

Online dating advice is easy to give, but I've been amazed by how quickly most people forget the basic rules. I've been giving free online dating advice because I have two objectives – to make sure you are successful with your online dating, and to make sure you stay safe.

Below I've summarized my online dating advice in a handy list. Keep it close to your computer! If you follow these tips, you'll discover that your Internet dating experience will be more fruitful and you'll be safer.

Write a Profile that's the Right Length

Too short (just a few sentences) and most people will think you didn't put serious thought into it; too long, and they may not read to the end. Three paragraphs is a good length if you create an interesting snapshot of who you are. Mention some of your interests and past times. Observations such as "I'd love to travel to Europe sometime, but for now Italian restaurants give me a taste of what's to come," show that you're interesting and have a sense of humor.

Don't Reveal Personal Details

Never give away personal data like your last name, where you live or even where you work in your profile. It's too easy for someone to find you. While most people online are well-adjusted individuals, you can never be too careful. Until you know someone very well, don't tell them more than they need to know. This is probably the most important online dating advice and safety tip of all – meet someone for the first time in a public place. There's no leeway on this one – it provides you an "out" if you need it.

Posting Your Photo

And consider this online dating advice: photos are the downfall of many people. One of the most common mistakes is posting a bad photo. You don't have to have a formal portrait done, but you should make sure the photo is a clear, close-up shot without others in the picture. Don't post a photo you obviously took of yourself with your computer cam late at night. Also don't post photos where your ex was obviously cut out of the picture.

Please, Please don't Grovel

I've read hundreds of profiles that have phrases like, "no games – I've had enough of them," or "broken heart needs healed." This kind of stuff smacks of emotional baggage – something no one wants to start a relationship having to cope with.

Keep Your Initial Emails Friendly and Upbeat

No complaints about past relationships or how lonely you are. Instead, make sure the other person sees you as someone who is complete and happy already. If they understand that you want to add someone special to an already fulfilling life, they will be drawn to you as someone who can enhance their own life.

Be Honest about Yourself

Don't forget this important online dating advice. Fudging the facts on income, what you do for a living or what you like to do, you'll only dig yourself into a hole. At some point the truth will come out, and you'll have way too much explaining to do.

Be Truthful about What You're Looking For

If you want a serious relationship, be honest so that you don't get involved with someone who is only looking for something casual. You'll get hurt and have wasted your own time and theirs. The same goes for the opposite scenario – don't lead someone on if you know they're looking for true love but you just want someone to hang out with for a few months.

Pick Up on the Other Person's Cues

As you move on to exchanging your actual email addresses or phone numbers, be sure to pick up on the other person's cues. If he or she emails or calls and you have a great chat – wonderful! Agree at the end of the conversation when you'd like to talk again and stick with it. Don't blow them off – a sure sign you aren't reliable. On the other hand, don't call earlier or email too often – clinging like that is a definite turn-off during what should be a cautious phase.

Do Your Homework

There are hundreds of dating websites available, and many sites cater to specific groups. If you want a Christian-based relationship, consider a Christian online dating site. If you are looking for something that's purely physical, there are sites that focus on that as well. Don't just randomly pick a site. You may discover that it has lots of members, but not many who have anything in common with you.

Finally, don't give up. The best online dating advice I can give is to be patient and try a few different online dating services. It may take some time to find the right person, but along the way you can make some great friends and have some fun.

Dating Advice for Women – Eight Key Rules

Dating advice for women has changed drastically in the last decade. Women used to bend over backward to please a potential suitor; then they would lose them as time wore on. "I never seem to get past the first few months. What am I doing wrong?" Sound familiar? It may be that your intentions are good, but you're trying too hard. I've put together some sound dating advice for women in order to avoid this and make things go more smoothly.

Talk to Avoid

Don't talk about your last boyfriend, fiancé or husband on the first few dates. Men immediately think one of two things if you talk about your ex during a date. Either you're still hung up on him, or you're bitter and angry about being dumped. A guy doesn't like either of these options, and he'll take a pass on someone with that kind of emotional baggage.

Be Yourself

For a single woman, dating advice should probably be more complex than that, but really it all boils down to those two words: "Be yourself." Don't pull out all the stops being a sex kitten siren if that's not you. Forget playing the girl next door to catch his interest if you aren't that type. You'll only get yourself stuck in a role that will increasingly frustrate you, and eventually he'll see through the charade and be offended by your dishonesty.

Don't Trap Him

Even if you sense that he's got great potential early on, don't start talking about your future dreams of marriage and family right away. The most often overlooked dating advice for women is usually the most crucial – men take things slower. They don't want to be considered as a potential life partner after date number two. They'll feel trapped, and like all trapped animals, they will run or go on the defensive.

Accept Compliments

You'd be surprised how often men complain that women can't take a compliment properly. If he tells you that you look wonderful, a simple, "Thank you," is the right response. Don't cut yourself down or accuse him of, "Just saying that." You also shouldn't go into details about how you borrowed the dress from a friend because it was so expensive you'd never dream of buying it yourself, blah, blah, blah. If he says you look lovely in the dress, acknowledge the compliment and move on. He really doesn't want the details of how or why you look great – but he will appreciate being thanked for noticing that you do. Accepting a compliment means you are self-confident and comfortable with yourself.

Be on Time

This is great dating advice for women and men. Whether you're meeting a man someplace or he's picking you up, it's not polite or thoughtful to leave him cooling his heels – and no, and it doesn't build anticipation. It just makes you seem rude.

Express Your Opinions Honestly

Men quickly get bored with women who always agree with everything they say. Sure, it may be flattering to the ego for a bit, but that soon fades to boredom and/or irritation when they realize they can't sustain an intelligent conversation with you. It's also draining personally to keep up that kind of charade – what are you going to do a year from now? Stand firm on issues that are important to you, discuss events honestly but don't get into an argument just to prove you're right. Disagreeing on some things is what adds spice to a relationship – as long as the disagreements aren't moral or life-changing.

Don't be a Pest

It may sound like old-fashioned dating advice for women, but I believe it still holds true – men like to know they're interesting, but they don't want to be nagged into dating you. Can you call a man a few days after a date and thank him for a nice evening and chat? Sure! But don't call the next day, then the next, then the next. Leave one message – if he's interested, he'll call you back. It may take a few days (he could be busy, he could be nervous). If he isn't interested, increasingly desperate, repeated messages from you won't help your cause.

Be Positive

You are on a date, not at a therapy session. Spilling your guts about how much your mother drives you crazy and why you want to kill your boss will not endear you to a man who had hopes of enjoying a relaxing evening with you. Should you hope that a relationship includes friendship? Yes! But don't treat a man you've recently started dating like your old college roommate or priest. True confessions aren't good for the soul or the relationship too early on, and lots of complaining gives the impression you may never be happy with your life.

Dating advice for women could go on for pages, but the eight major rules above will cover almost every situation. Whether it's your first date or your tenth, it's all about being true to yourself, honest with him and kind to both of you.

Dating Tips for Single Moms

Although the Internet has lots of dating advice, dating tips for single moms sometimes don't make sense. It's a completely different world of dating when you're a parent with a child or children at home. It complicates things ten-fold, and emotions like guilt or confusion only add to the mix. After talking to lots of single mothers of children of all ages, I've put together these dating tips for single moms to help make the world of dating less confusing and more successful.

Ease Your Kids Into It

When you're ready to begin dating, ease into it with your kids. Don't suddenly make a bomb-shell announcement like, "Mommy's going to go on a date. This is really important." This will guarantee resentment. Simply mention that you are going out with a friend when you have a first date. After all, this is all it is at this point.

Enjoy Your Date

Once you've decided to go on a date with a man, commit yourself to focusing on it and enjoying it fully. That means not calling the baby sitter every half hour to check in. If you aren't ready to trust someone to watch the kids while you enjoy an evening out focused on enjoying yourself and getting to know someone, you shouldn't be dating yet. You'll also send huge signals to the man you're with that you aren't ready to start a relationship of any type.

Don't Look at Your Date as a Potential Parent – Yet

Here's a dating tip for single moms that also applies to single guys with kids: your first date should be about whether you like the person you're out with. Don't look at him like he's a potential new parent for your kids – it's way too early for that. It won't matter if you end up deciding he isn't right for you, and you don't want to put too much pressure on him all at once. You just might scare the right man away before he has the chance to prove himself this way.

Avoid Competition

Don't sacrifice traditional family activities for the sake of a date. If Sundays are always set aside for pancakes and bacon with your kids, don't start making Sunday plans with a man you're dating after just a few weeks – it sets an unhealthy precedent for a sense of competition between your children and your date.

Introducing Him to Your Kids

If you do establish a significant relationship, begin introducing him to your children little by little. Short, fun activities so that everyone can relax and enjoy getting to know one another are a good start. Neutral territory (a family restaurant or perhaps the zoo) is best at first. You can add including your new suitor in family activities after your children have grown comfortable with him.

Guys to Avoid

As your children get to know him, make sure that the man you're dating accepts your children just as they are. He shouldn't try to discipline or change them – that's not his job. If he becomes critical of your children or of your parenting style, it's time to end it.

Make the Rules Clear from the Start

Your children will always come first. It's one of the most important dating tips for single moms I know of. If the man you're dating doesn't understand this now, he won't later. Some men will commend you for this and agree whole-heartedly – these are the mature, loving ones. Other men will feel like this puts them in "second place," and they will probably never love your children like they should be loved because he will see them as competition for your time and affection.

Don't Lean on the Man You're Dating Too Soon

Any serious relationship is a big step, and you never want to confide everything or rely on the person you're dating too early on. This dating tip for single moms applies to any single (don't cry about ex's, your parents, etc. on the second date), but it is particularly true for singles moms who are dating. He may be perfectly wonderful, but even the strongest, most compassionate man will be frightened if you spend your third date discussing details of your child's adjustment problems in third grade or your concerns about whether your teenage daughter is drinking. These are serious matters, and should only be discussed once a serious relationship is established.

Let Your Dates be About You and Him

He may come to love your children completely, but the person he asked out was you. Remember to talk about things beyond parenting.

I hope you also remember to have a good time on your dates – remember, you're not only a mom, you're also a vibrant single woman! If you keep this in mind as well as the above dating tips for single moms, you'll have a wonderful time now and in the future – and you may find someone who is good for you and your children!

Interracial Relationship - Dating Outside One's Culture Without Betraying One's Roots

The public's outlook on socially and culturally sensitive issues is changing with every passing day. From 1967's legalization of interracial marriages to current trends of legalizing gay marriages, it is apparent that, given time, society learns to accept change. Interracial dating and romance is no longer uncommon and is becoming well established throughout North American society. The individuals within these relationships are generally comfortable with the knowledge that they can both maintain their own culture as well as introduce themselves to another. These couples do not feel that they are betraying their roots by learning new customs. In fact, in most cases it is the parents that pressure their children into not abandoning their culture and thus to avoid dating those of different ethnicities. When it deals with other people, it appears that most individuals are willing to accept multicultural dating, but those same individuals are against it when it jeopardizes their own customs and beliefs.

Many parents are worried that mixed raced dating will somehow dilute their own culture and will threaten the preservation of their cultural beliefs. They feel that in order to control the weakening of their cultural bonds, they must restrict the actions of their children i.e. prevent them from dating outside of their culture. Parents worry that if their child falls in love with someone of a different culture, they might sacrifice their own traditions in order to make the relationship work. Technically, it is up to their children to make these decisions. Realistically, the parents have the power to decide. Many children who go against their parent's will are punished with disapproval and even worse, alienation.

For couples in multicultural relationships, compromise is sometimes the best way to bridge the gap between the varying traditions. Choosing the most important traditions from each culture, while making sure to include the parents' opinions, will allow the partners and their parents to feel equally significant. The parents may never be completely happy with the choices their child has made, but at least they won't feel as thought that family roots have been betrayed.

People of different cultural backgrounds are not impervious to learning new customs and traditions. New partners may readily accept the challenge of engaging in the practices of different cultural groups. A person's roots are not left behind simply because they are exposed to new customs. Cultural and familial roots make us who we are, and that can never be taken away.

Cameron Diaz & John Mayer Dating?

Diaz, 34, and Mayer, 29, have known each other for years, but it has been rumored that they have taken their friendship to the next level. The two were spotted out in New York City last night looking pretty cozy according to sources. A source told US Magazine, "They went out to several places…It was the two of them, getting to know each other, out on the town." A source close to Diaz said, "This was technically not their first time hanging out…they've hung out together with friends before. But this was the first time together like this. It's new and developing…but they really like each other and it went well."

Diaz is currently in New York filming the comedy What Happens In Vegas. She was most recently romantically linked to Mindfreak star Criss Angel. The two reportedly dated briefly but things got weird when his wife came forward and accused Angel of having an affair with Diaz. Before that she dated singer Justin Timberlake for almost four years before the couple called it quits in January. Diaz's rep reportedly had no comment on her relationship with Mayer.

Just recently it was reported that Mayer was dating singer/actress Mandy Moore. The couple were spotted having lunch together recently and at the New York premiere of her newest film Dedication she was asked if the two were involved in a romance. Moore said, "Oh my goodness. John and I have been friends for years, no romance." Mayer was most recently linked to singer Jessica Simpson. The two were reportedly seeing each other off and on over the past year and officially split a few months ago. Mayer's rep said, "We do not comment on our client's personal lives."

Teen Dating- What's Wrong?

Teen dating is one of the most difficult procedures of teenage life. This is because the social pressures surrounding it can be impossible to overcome, especially if you are a teen who is shy or has some awkwardness about him or her. This type of awkward personality is difficult to sidestep in the world of teen dating, especially if you find that it follows you around like a shadow. Overcoming awkwardness is bad enough in school or at your minimum wage job, but the difficulty and complications can be downright overwhelming when you are out on a date.

Of course, this is not to say that all teen dating experiences will be disastrous or will contain incidents of major social faux pas. There are many times in which teen dating takes place without any such incident and the date goes on successfully to result in an incredible time for all participants.

This, however, requires the teen to be less awkward than most and to be as suave as James Bond times ten thousand. The hyperbole is not misplaced, either, as teens are some of the most scrutinised human beings on the face of the earth.

The perils of teen dating present tasks and challenges in front of teenagers that many simply are not equipped to face. Things like ordering food for a member of the opposite sex and pulling chairs out for your date are not commonplace in the world, let alone in the world of teen dating. These are "musts", however, and should be encouraged among all teen daters so as to procure a great sense of positivity to the whole experience. Without that positivity, the world of teen dating will suffer a major blow and Chuck E. Cheese's will likely be driven out of business.

Remember One Thing

One of the most important things to remember is the notion of self-respect. In all things related to dating, do not forget to remember yourself and who you are when you are out there in that jungle. It is easy to try to become another person to impress a date, but in the end the one thing that is respected above all else is someone who never abandons their principles or their ideologies just for a kiss or a snuggle. Remember to stand on your own two feet in the harsh, cold world of teen dating.

Dating- A simple Sipitual Process

What is Dating?

Dating, in the simplest terms, is the process of selecting and attracting another person for the purpose of some sort of a relationship, whether that be a friendship, or whether it include love, sex, commitment, living together, marriage, having children, or a combination of any of these.

For the most part, people begin dating in their early teens, and these relationships can be considered as fun and exciting and a great way to learn more about your own self and your own values and morals. There are many different forms of dating, perhaps even as many as there are people.

Dating was in fact invented in the early part of this century, as prior to that dating relationships were actually not conducted at all, and marriage was always considered the right way to meet that someone special.

Everyone has a different view of what is right and what is wrong in the world of dating, and everyone is obviously free to their own opinion. However it must be known that there is a glaring fault in the models that we have set up in the world of today, ones which cause significant double-standards and subsequent confusion, especially by the younger generation.

For instance, once we are married, we recognize that certain things are sacred to our partner, such as co-habitation, kissing, intimate hugging, sex, and the bringing up of children. What this means is that through dating, we as a people tend to presume to partake in many of these privileges of marriage.

Dating Violence

Dating violence is an important issue in regards to the whole dating issue; it may include various forms of abuse, including psychological and emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, or a combination of any of these. This can begin with such seemingly subtle things such as insults and demeaning remarks and can easily escalate to pushing, shoving, even severe battering and rape.

The most important thing is to in fact notice these more subtle signs, so that you do not end up prolonging the relationship, which if it was violent to begin with in any way, will most likely result in being much more devastating at the end. The longer you leave a situation like this, the worse it will be, so the key here is to end things before they escalate to the point where it is too late.

russian_dating

Russian Dating: A Culture of its Own

Russian dating does not just mean Russians dating each other in Russia. This usually refers to those people of Russian heritage looking for others who share the same heritage and traditions.

Often it can make people more comfortable dating someone from their own culture, someone who understands their family traditions and idiosyncrasies. Russian dating can be difficult unless you have some idea of where to find others who share your common interests.

Not Just Mail Order Brides

One of the first things many will think of when you mention Russian dating is mail order brides from Russia. Mail order brides, though not the best way to go about finding someone to marry, are a thriving business. When you do a search online for Russian dating, quite a few of the items that come up are about the subject of mail order brides. If a mail order Russian bride is what you are actually looking for, good luck, because there a lot of scams out there and often it is not as straightforward as it may seem.

If you are looking into your local dating scene, you know that there are certain social functions where you can meet people, such as bars, clubs or parties. Those can all be a hit or miss situation though, since in reality you can't really talk a lot with someone and get to know them with music blaring in the background and other people who may have been drinking a little too much. Other situations that may be more conducive to meeting and talking to someone may be a place like a coffeehouse.

A fairly common way to find someone when you are looking into Russian dating is to place an ad in the personals, either online or in your local paper. It may feel a little odd at first, advertising yourself to prospective dates. However, personals can be a good way to find other people who share your common interests. There are specific Russian dating websites set up for those who consider themselves Russian or are of Russian descent to find others like them.

Whether you are looking for a casual date or a prospective husband or wife, Russian dating can be an interesting process to say the least. Sometimes it will be fairly easy to find someone, and other times it will seem as if the well is completely dry. However, perseverance and patience can help with a process that can sometimes be a long one.

dating_personals

Dating Personals: Are They For You?

Dating personals aren't for everyone. Many people would probably feel a little odd advertising themselves to other singles. However, if you are at all interested, there are plenty of reputable companies both online and off that can try to find someone that shares your interests.

Whether you choose to answer an online ad or one in a newspaper, hopefully you will at least be able to go on a few dates and have an interesting time in the process.

Searching Tips for Dating Personals

If you are considering placing you own ad in the dating personals, there are a few things you might want to think about before doing so. Quite a few towns have dating personals either in a local independent paper or possibly even in the regular newspaper. Often the paper that is hosting the ads will have the ability to forward mail onto you, so that you do not have to use your own address.

This is mainly for safety reasons, since in today's world; you just never know what type of person you are going to run across. Once you actually start receiving replies to you ad, you will want to decide how you want to meet them eventually and maybe more importantly, how you want to screen them.

Online dating personals are quite popular, and have many more profiles of people searching for people they have something in common with. These dating personals also set up security measures, and will forward any interested inquiries that may respond to your ad. You usually also have access to a mailbox on the dating personals website itself that you can log into and check your own mail.

With online dating personals, it is a little easier to correspond immediately, since you both obviously have Internet access and e-mail. Unfortunately, a downside to online dating personals is that someone may sound like the perfect date online, but once you meet them, they may be nothing at all like you expected.

Dating personals aren't for everyone; you just need to determine which way you prefer to meet people. If you do decide to use the dating personals, take sensible precautions when meeting someone for the first time. If every other avenue for meeting someone doesn't sound appealing, there is nothing wrong with using the dating personals. Many people have met online, fallen in love and have long, happy marriages. Hopefully, you can find that same happiness.

Jewish Dating - Contemporary Scenario

Doesn't it sometimes feel like it can be really hard to meet someone who is nice, funny, and all of the other things you may be looking for in a mate? If you are of Jewish descent and looking for someone to date who is also Jewish, it may be even harder. This could be because there aren't that many others in your area who are Jewish or simply because you are having a difficult time connecting with the type of people you want to find.

Internet dating may have made the process of Jewish dating a little easier for those who are trying to meet new people. There are numerous sites on the internet that are dedicated to Jewish dating, and the profiles of the members are geared more towards those of the Jewish faith.

Online Jewish Dating and You

Quite a few of the really good Jewish dating sites are free. Several of them even let you browse around before you join as a free member to decide if you like the site or if it offers what you are looking for.

Jewish dating sites are geared towards the questions that someone may have who is of the Jewish faith. Some of the questions included in the profiles relate to the Sabbath and kosher. The sites allow those who have their profiles on the site to convey how they deal with their faith.

Specific questions include: what your religious orientation is (conservative, etc.), whether you keep Kosher, if you go to synagogue, whether you keep Shabbat, and what your ethnicity is (Ashkenazi, etc.). Of course these questions go along with all the other standard questions such as age, height, children, hair color, and so on.

Most of the Jewish dating sites take precautions, and you do have to be a member of the site to contact anyone you may be interested in. Usually, online dating sites will also supply their members with an e-mail address through their site or an inbox on their site for security purposes.

If Internet dating makes you a little nervous, you can always browse around the sites and see if any of them might work for you. You never know what kinds of interesting people you may find online. If you have tried most other forms of Jewish dating, you might give online dating a try and see how you like it. Even if it's not for you, at least you will know why, and will have given it a try.

Lesbian Dating - Getting Political

Many people want to avoid hornet's nests of political issues while other people aim to confront those issues head on. It is for this reason that lesbian dating is still a political and social issue for our time. When people see lesbians out on a date or as a couple, there are still feelings of resentment or other negative feelings that are procured from onlookers. This is because we are not yet living in a society that has adjusted its moral compass to changing times. While people do respect sticking to your original values, they do not understand holding other people to their standards.

Life is about being an individual and doing as you feel, following your heart and engaging people in love and compassion. Lesbian dating is this for many people, as are other forms of dating that people may not agree with. There is a difference, however, between not agreeing with someone but loving them despite that and not agreeing with someone and continuing to vocally protest the notion of your disagreement. It is this that many people marvel at. It is hard to believe that a government has so little to be concerned with that homosexuality is a concern to them.

Unfair Targeting

Lesbian dating has been unfairly targeted by several people aiming to make a point for themselves. These people wish to assert their own values in the world they live in but still do not hold strong to their commitments. They have no sense of privacy or freedom for the individual and wish to impose themselves on others in a sense that is neither biblically supported nor supported by any amendment in the constitution or any law. Regardless of the overwhelming steps taken to prevent this ideology of intolerance, there are those that still step out on the ledge against lesbian dating and other practices.

These are people that struggle with values and morals of their own. These are people that cannot find it in their hearts to accept another lifestyle and live their own lives. Lesbian dating will not cause great wars or calamities in the world, but it may cause such things in the hearts of the detractors that cannot let personal bias and prejudice rest silently where it belongs. For this reason, there will always be a fight between sides that will aim to tear apart our social fabric.

Indian Dating:A Non-Traditional Idea:

Traditionally, in Indian culture, marriages are arranged by the families, sometimes even when the couple are still children. There is not really any such thing as casual Indian dating in India. Times change however, and at least in the United States, some Indians have taken the non-traditional way of actually dating someone and getting to know them before marriage.

Arranged marriages are not necessarily a bad thing, especially in Indian culture. The big idea behind arranged marriages is that parents try to help their children make the best choices for their lives. Their age and experience can help their children make a better decision. Today, more and more families are working together to decide on a suitable marriage.

Indian Dating in a Modern World

Even though times change and many more Indians are dating before marriage, there are still quite a few things that are desired in any future husband or wife. A large chunk of Indians, if not most, are Hindu. Often a person's religion is very important to them, and the only way you can really find another Hindi is to look into Indian dating groups or websites. This is especially true since most people in the United States are not Hindu, so you are probably not going to casually run into someone who believes in the same things you do.

Generally speaking, education is also very important to Indian society. Therefore, it is not likely that you will marry another Indian who is not as educated as you are. However, most Indians are very well educated, so the chance of meeting another Indian who is not at all educated is remote.

In India itself, the social structure and caste system are very rigid, and Indian dating is almost nonexistent. It is almost unheard of to marry someone outside your social class. Even though this may sound discriminatory, it is a way of life in India. For Indians in the United States, it may or may not be as big of a factor in who they are going to date. Again, this will completely depend on individual preference and background.

There are quite a few Indian dating websites, specifically for those who are looking for other Indians to date. Even though dating is a rather new concept in Indian society, it is likely that it will continue to be more and more common, and arranged marriages will become less common as the years go by. Whichever route you decide to find someone to date, whether it is an Indian dating site or a social gathering, take your time becoming acquainted with the other person. Who knows, what the future holds for you!

christian dating - Dating for Jesus

The world of Christian dating can be a confusing one to onlookers but it can be a very exciting and holy place for those participating in the ultimate crusade. Christians also have needs and wants like the rest of secular society and it is for this reason that God created Christian dating. In fact, God was happy on the day He created Christian dating and He made it into a spectacle that many people have tried to recreate since.

Of course, something about Christian dating makes a person wonder if God has a sense of humor or not. Dating as a whole confirms that He most certainly does; we scramble to impress our dates and make fools of ourselves on a regular basis and I'm sure God's laughing at us somewhere.

The Christian dating scene is much like any other dating scene except some of the social pressures are different. There is less emphasis, in most circles, on the sexuality of dating as a whole. There are Christians, however, that hold to more secular values on sexuality and are as prone to those pressures.

There are others that stand on different ground and offer a different perspective as to the sexual pressures of dating: abstinence. Many of these people save themselves for marriage and, thus, as a result look for like-minded partners with the same values. There is nothing more confusing to a person's value system than dating someone with a desire to go where you do not want to go.

Serving One Master

In essence, the world of dating in Christian circles can be drastically different from dating in secular circles. The entire focus of the relationship is generally on a different objective. For Christian dating, the focus is more apt to be aimed towards a Higher Power or a broader focus on a general sense of helping out the fellow human beings and making the world a better place.

This is often the forming point for the relationship, as Christian daters come together with one will and one goal in mind for their relationship: the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. Secular daters, on the other hand, are not as likely to hold to that focus.

It is the notion of having other values than the rest of the world. Of course, these other values permeate into the dating lifestyles of the daters and influence where they are headed and how fast they go there. This refers to the speed in which the physical aspect of the relationship is pursued. Some prefer not to pursue it at all, while others aim for a slower pursuit and take the time to listen to what God wants. It is all up to the person and their faith, to make Christian dating as fun as any other type of dating.
