Gone are the days when dating means courting your future spouse you met at

school or in your neighborhood. Romance could blossom now with a click of

a mouse.

The Internet has become the ultimate haven for singles – without the
drunks, the noise, and the exorbitant cost you pay to be in the bars
desperately hoping to be noticed. Thanks to online dating sites, you don’t
have to ask your mother or friend to help you hook up with someone they
think is perfect for you – which in most cases, isn’t.

Some might still believe in the good ol’ traditional dating. Good luck to
them. But not you. You are wise and savvy. You know that online dating is
a better and quicker way of connecting with other people and getting to
know them. You know you can’t meet all the people in the world that might
just be your perfect match. The Internet expands your probabilities,
widening your choices to meet a mate.

What are the additional reasons for checking out online sites?

1. The ability to easily access profiles from the easy access to a wide
variety of profiles. Online sites make you see hundreds of profiles
for a possible match. Clicking on someone that you have an interest on
is so easy with just a click of the mouse. Vice-versa, others who
would also like to talk to you (and hopefully, just more than that)
can also message you.

In traditional dating, you are limited to the social circle that you have.
Your choice then becomes limited. Unlike in online dating, where choices
can be limitless, and is not limited in your immediate circle of friends
and acquaintances.

2. Most reputable dating sites are safe. They are very particular on this
area, enforcing among others, a Code of Ethics among members,
Certification that a member is single, and background check on
criminal record. Check whether the site has safety nets.

Both traditional and online dating have their dangers, although dating
traditionally, admittedly, has lesser safety risks. But you can never be
too sure.

3. You have the decision to meet or not to meet somebody. If you do not
feel meeting somebody up, then it is your decision.

Compared with online dating, you feel a sense of pressure when someone
wants you to meet this or that. If your best friend nags you to meet his
or her cousin, how can you say no? In online dating, the decision to say
yes or no is very easy.

4. The accuracy in finding you a good mate increases since the site has
personal profiles for you to look at, personality tests, and image
uploads. Some sites can even have audio and video capabilities in
their personal ads.
Do not ignore these opportunities in improving your personal ads. Other
singles and prospective matches will take a look at your ads longer if you
have video or audio clips in your ad Personals ads with images of you have
a response of 80 percent, but ads with a video clip or audio clip (or
both) have a 97% response.

Unlike in traditional dating, you get to “know” various kinds of people in

just a few minutes. You could sense someone’s personality without the
hassle of actually meeting that person first.

5. It is relatively affordable and fast. Online dating sites are cheaper

and quicker than arranging a date with somebody referred to you by a
friend. In just a few minutes, your perfect match could be available.

Of course, internet dating won’t guarantee you an easy head start in

dating and romance. After all, like any forms of dating, online dating
takes practice and patience. Online dating has its downfalls too. Being
online does not mean everyone would be buzzing around you.

That is why when you are using online dating services, you must take
responsibility for your actions, and consider safety risks as well. After
all you are spending money too – money not just for connecting to the
Internet, but also for the minimal fees you pay for being a member in
those sites. Internet dating sites cost primarily because of two reasons:
First, to discourage fly-by-night creeps who just lurk and are curious in
cyberspace. Second, running a good online dating service costs a lot,
which also includes ensuring that members are safe.

There are vast differences between traditional and online dating, and it
would not hurt you trying dating online.
With two out of every five singletons in Europe and the USA now turning to
the internet to find a partner, it would be safe to say that the
phenomenon of online dating has changed the social and dating habits of
tens of millions of people from Newcastle to New York. But why has an
activity that could only be classed as an amusing diversion five years ago
become such an addictive and central part of so many people's everyday
lives? The answer to this question can be encapsulated in the ten short
paragraphs:-

6. No more smokey bars and clubs. In the bad old days, single people on
the prowl would trawl the local hostelries in their towns and cities
looking for that special connection with someone who takes their
fancy. Well, now you can prowl the internet from the comfort of your
armchair or office and if you happen to be having a bad hair day, who
cares?

7. You don't have to be a teccy. Most online dating sites are simple to
navigate and deliberately don't incorporate features which are
difficult to understand. Even your average internet virgin can master
the art of using a dating site.

8. There's a site that's just right for you. There are global sites,
country specific sites, city specific sites and niche sites for
seniors, bikers, single parents, gay guys and girls and just about
everything else you can think of. If you can't find an online service
that exactly suits your location and lifestyle, you're not looking
hard enough.

9. A choice of thousands. Most successful sites have thousands of active

members on their databases. When you walk into a party or a club, how
many single people will you see who might be right for you? Probably
only a handful. Well now you can switch on your computer and be
completely spoilt for choice.

10. Find just your type. A good dating site will present you with a series
of options when you start browsing through the profiles of other
members. As well as finding people who you'll find physically
attractive, you'll also be able to refine your search to people who
you'll also find compatible in terms of personality and lifestyle
choices.

11. Instant gratification. Now you don't have to stand in the corner
nursing your beer or glass of wine vainly hoping that the good-looking
guy or girl across the room will come over and talk to you. When you
spot someone you like on an online dating site - you can just send
them a message and introduce yourself. And when you do so, your real
email address is never revealed so you don't have to worry about
giving out personal contact details to complete strangers.

12. You control the pace. You can message people as and when you want to
and respond to other people's mails at your leisure. It's completely
up to you how frequently you use your chosen site and who you want to
make contact with. Take it fast or take it slow - it's your choice to
make.
13. There's always someone else. If any member you contact doesn't respond
or you decide that someone you've been exchanging mails with isn't
quite suitable, you can just move on to someone else. Good dating
sites attract hundreds and in many cases, thousands of new members
every day so why put all your eggs in one basket when you have many
more baskets at your finger-tips?

14. Widen your social network. Yes, the majority of people join dating
sites to put some fizz and sparkle into their love lives; but many
people do so to make new friends as well. Maybe you've just arrived in
a town or city to take up a new job and what better and quicker way is
there to start making new friends than to join an online community of
like-minded singles in your own age group?

15. It's great fun. Let's face it, we could all do with injecting a
little more of the fun factor into our lives from time to time and
surfing the net for attractive compatible dates is a great way to do
just that. And it doesn't cost any more than a round of drinks so it
isn't really much of a risk in financial terms. There's very little
to lose and everything to gain.

So there you have it; the delights of online dating are available to
anyone who has access to a computer screen and if you're single yourself
and you've yet to take the plunge, why are you waiting? It's what the
internet is for!
Why you should give your loved one Valentines Day flowers. For hundreds of
years Valentines Day has been celebrated by lovers everywhere. Where did
this traditions start anyway, and why to we exchange Valentines Day
flowers and candies with each other? Well, I have done some searching and
I have come across some interesting stories that go along with this
tradition. Some of these stories may be true and others may be just what
their supposed to be—stories. Here is a short version of what may have
really been the beginning of sending Valentines Day flowers on Valentines
Day.

Why was St. Valentine so important?

About 8 hundred years before Valentines Day was established, A man named
Claudius was in power in Rome . He felt that marriage was a bad thing
because it made poor soldiers out of men. So, he banned marriage from his
empire. St. Valentine did not agree with this rule, so he would secretly
marry couples that came to him. St. Valentine was caught and soon after he
was stoned and then beheaded.

Valentine Traditions

In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February
14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations on the spoons.
The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!"

In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who
their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves
for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy
for other people to know how you are feeling.

In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a

young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him.

Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on
Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow,
she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she
would marry a millionaire.

A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her
wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often
in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too
closely!

No matter what is true and what is myth, Valentines Day has become big
business for the flower, card, and candy companies. Many exist only
because of this one day a year. If your and man and have a wife or
girlfriend, and you let Valentines Day go by without getting her flowers
or candy, your going to be in big trouble. So take my advice, but some
effort into your gift too. A carefully chosen V-Day card will take you a
long way; take it from a woman who knows however, Valentines Day flowers
are still your best bet. If you're lucky enough to have someone who loves
you on V-Day, then you should show him or her how much they mean to you.
Those who give Valentines Day flowers may be a big money making machine
for these companies but, this day allows those sometimes are not always
able to show their loved ones how much they care. Valentines Day flowers
makes it easier for everyone to prove their love and devotion to the one's
that love them.
As human beings we have what can be considered some of the strangest
mating rituals in the animal kingdom. Most species hook up with members of
the opposite sex to procreate and nothing else. There is no emotional bond
that ties them together for the rest of their lives other than the need to
continue the species. Now that's not to say that all animals are like
this, there are some species out there that do mate for life, but the
overall percentage of those types are small.

Sure, you can say that many animals have mating rituals that rival ours.
There are male birds that flaunt their colorful plumage trying to attract
a female, but is that really dating or just a type of seduction? And in
the end isn't that what going on dates is all about, seducing that someone
we've had our eye on.

Dating is a form of seduction, only for us humans it can sometimes take a

much longer time for the desired results to be had. In the animal world
there is a specific time of the year when seduction and mating can take
place, and with the exception of humans, dolphins and some primates,
animals mate to continue their species and not for the pure pleasure of
it. For most animals it is the drive to survive as a species.

We humans have taken the whole dating/seduction ritual to unforseen

heights. Just think of all the things we do to try and impress that
special someone. And why do we want to impress them? Because we think we
like them and if we don't do our best to seduce them using all sorts of
dating tricks and techniques then someone else will and that's just not
acceptable.

So why do we date?

To impress someone we are interested in? I would say yes on that one. I
can't think of any other reason to spend that kind of time and money other
then to do just that.

To continue the human species? This is a far more subjective question. Do

we really need more humans on the world? That's debatable. I think for the
majority of humans it's for a little more selfish reasons and that's to
have somone come after us who carries the family name onward into the
future.

Just for the fun of it? Now here's whole another way to look at it.
Meeting new people is fun. Particularly if you are attracted to them.
Dating is fun and it introduces us to whole new ways of thinking and
approaching people.

The why do we date question is a hard one to answer, but whatever your
reasons may be it's a part of what makes us human.
A Google search for a "Russian marriage agency " yields more than 250000
results. Let us be frank: these are the surprising results of a country
FSU. Russia was locked away from the rest of the world over a long period
of time and has finally achieved its independence 16 years ago, opening up
broad prospects for cooperation with foreign countries. Russia is still a
young country, so any way this effect is unexpected. What is the reason
for this business to prosper in the countries of the former Soviet Union
over the past few years? Are women in these countries rich hunting
husbands? Will get around an unforgettable romance short term? Or do they
just want something deeper as true love and relationships somebody to be
happy?

Fortunately for me, when he began a swarm these questions in my head, a

good friend of mine, who has lived in Italy for several years, was in the
city to visit her family. So, instead of looking through stacks of
statistics and wracking my brain to get the information so interesting to
me, I got in touch with her and her brain loaded with all the questions.

Before going, I want to make it clear: does this article are the
motivations and desires of every woman in Russia, introducing his profile
to a marriage agency. In addition I will be the one to inspire foreigners:
Do be careful once they chose the path of the search for a marriage
agency. In the past, some ladies of Russia from the former Soviet Union
countries have provided more than enough negative publicity (read my
article on fraud in the city of Lugansk, Ukraine), but don 't let miss
and the timing of the gift to someone Pleasure of communication and the
possibility of finding love. With this in mind, I proceed.

When I started questioning the motives of the Russian women who take the
opportunity of matrimonial agencies, my first discovery is very worrying.
One of the main reasons why the FSU women prefer foreigners is that the
men in their country of origin are 't good enough. There are a lot of bad
stories about the lives of girls from Russia abroad. Why not admit that
the reason is for men in the home, which, in my opinion, don 't know what
is a family? "- Said Natasha comments on the article in one of the main
documents of Russia, which blamed marriages Foreigners. "Unfortunately,
the 'Russian ' men have a long way to go to keep up with the men from
abroad. "Some agencies bridal give the same information. An American
journalist, who had a "Romance of tourism from Russia to find a bride
'trip to Russia as part of his research for a story, says in his online
journal, which the instructor on the tour explained: Ukrainian and Russian
males' drinking, philander, Alternatively beat women and neglect. "

Obviously, not all FSU man treats women in this way. However, a general
conception that most brides Russian / Ukrainian women by men in their home
countries is reduced to a few common words: irresponsible, hard heart, too
demanding and was not willing to provide their children, and much less
than his mother. Throughout the history of Russian women have been famous
for the way they treat their families. They are loving, dedicated and
caring, and to arrive at a marriage agency that dream to find someone like
them, the creation of a strong family happy.

Otherwise by Natasha observed during its three years of marriage to a

foreigner: To tell you the truth, I did not marry him 't think about life
in Italy ... But the Italians in the family is very, very important, and
put a great emphasis on family values. This means a lot to me. Foreigners
in general, seem to be more serious about the family and children, unlike
the men in the home. "

Consistent with the lack of quality men from the former Soviet Union,
there is also a lack of quantity. Statistics show that during the year
2002, the male-female ratio was 46% to 54%, and hasn 't changed much
since then. Given that a large part of these 46% are people who can 't be
counted for the love, care and support, which leaves the ladies of Russia
and Ukraine, very little to choose from. Of course, the solution to the
problem is broading their horizons.

"All the good have been snatched away long ago, your chances of finding
someone in this country after they turn 25 are close to zero, " Natasha
mused over a cup coffee (he married his beloved Italy at the age of 29).
"Apparently, the boys (in Ukraine) disappear when they turn 30. "

On top of all said, the recognition of their own femininity sets the FSU
women apart from the United States or Europe ladies. Most foreigners in
mind that the FSU women, different from the latter two, and I don 't mean
just outside her beauty, which has been mentioned by many and admired.
These ladies like to be painted rather, it is not uncommon for them to
wear a dress and pumps on a regular basis, who are concerned about their
body and taste to be attractive. In short, they want to be feminine, not
feminist.

The FSU women love to be a 'weaker sex', which for them means the care of
his family first, in addition to being careful and appreciated. Promises
that seems to be in abundance by the Americans and Europeans, many of whom
share a view that has been too long since Western women have shown no
desire to appreciate the softer side of the 'more weak gender. " Compared
with the constant bustle of women in the house to make the race and to
achieve equality with men, the feminine side of the FSU ladies is an
advantage to the men from abroad. Even some FSU men admit that 'their'
women are attractive to foreigners because exactly "women are still not
emancipated some feminists, as in the West."

Natasha dreamily recalls his first visitings Italy: 'When I was in Italy I
was treated like a princess surrounded with care, so I lost a lot of our
men. I think there is so much beauty (Russia), which our men are just used
to it, it is mundane to them, they forget about simple compliments?
Italians value of beauty. "

After all this, what can I say to men in search of their destiny? It all
comes down to what you are looking for. Undoubtedly, there will be some
money-hungry vamps, eager to trap. If you want exotic night, you can find
that in Ukraine, Russia or anywhere in the world for that matter. But
there is no better place than Russia and Ukraine if you want to find a
respectful, caring and loving women who love their families.
Why are most women attracted to those motorcycle types, dirty and grungy
looking Lotharios that their mothers and fathers have told them to not be
involved in?

Is it because of these men’s inherently good looks, scorching bad boy

quality? Or is it a simple case of bad psychology: that women really do
not know what’s good for them?

Believe it or not, there is a certain aura that bad boys exude that some
women do find hopelessly irresistible.

It is so good to be bad. Or in this case, it is so good to be involved

with someone bad. For one thing, there is the adventure. Either some find
themselves in their own little thought-of movie or romantic novel that
being together or being involved with a bad guy is just plain tempting.

The Bridget Jones saga, both the movie and book version, seem to echo
these same sentiments. Why would a woman who already has her gentlemanly
Darcy, still find something attractive from a devilish Cleaver? The latter
is so mean and so manipulative. While the other is so straight up and
sometimes, a bit uptight. So who should a confused woman choose?

Basically, it is – sort of – a fact. Women love the little bad things

found in men. Some do so because they love the drama. A relationship with
bad men gets most women’s juices up and flowing. A date with them is
unpredictable. One minute they may be out on a nice cozy dinner, the next
minute they may be in a dark street corner making out. Meanwhile, a date
with a straight-up men could be nice, simple, conventional and
unsurprising. What follows after a quiet dinner may be a talk, and then
some more talk, and a walk. Comfortable, safe and sometimes it might even
be romantic. Although some do find such a scenario boring.

Sometimes, a date or a relationship with all the badness found in men is a

great topic for a conversation for women the next day. Women love
nitpicking every gory detail about their bad, bad men. How they have been
bad, etc. However, women also enjoy talking about how their men has been
good, in bed that is.

Sometimes, boys that are bad or those who have been bad are referred to as
being a wolf, or being a fox. There may be a reason for this term. Both
animals are predators. Women should not tread such dark waters, but
sometimes they do. Believe it or not, it is the sexual opportunity and
excitement that brings women or at least magnetizes them into the waiting
arms of a manly predator.

Let us face it. Predators, or rather, men, could also sometimes be

charming, if not handsome. No wonder it is so conveniently easy to simply
fall head over heels over them. Plus, there is that dream fantasy of most
females that they alone have this amazing and almost god-like quality to
be able to change for the better all the bad men in their lives.

Fortunately or unfortunately, bad men makes some women feel instantly

sexy. This is a stark difference from the guys touted as good who
sometimes discourage some of their women to be as goody-goody as they can
possibly be.

However, there are certain facts that just cannot be disregarded. There
really is, and there should really be no excuse for being bad. Some men
are just plain insensitive and no amount of patience, hope, wishing and
dreaming could cover up for his badness. Men who are like this - please,
please do remember – is not and could possibly be not that sincerely in
love with the women in their lives. Believe it or not, they may be more in
love with themselves than in anyone else. Try, as much as possible, to not
fall for his own professions of his love for you. Chances are, and there
is a great chance of this happening, his I-love-you’s may be his way to
get what he wants with you.

All in all, dating bad men is good only for that purpose alone – dating.
Adventure, sexual or otherwise, is good for the short term. Long term
relationships require mutual trust and respect, a little kinkiness also
wouldn’t hurt at all.
No doubt dating online or off, you have been and are been tested by women.
Why? Well that’s a long winded answer, and I gave up physco analyzing
women a long time ago. Even women will admit they can’t understand
themselves! So what chance do us humble males have?

Zip! None! Zilch!

So best to just ACCEPT that they do and will test us. Be aware of it when
it happens and deal with it in a way that gains us the authority and
understanding in the relationship. Below are some examples of how women
test us.

Why the testing?

16. They test us to see how strong emotionally we are.

17. They test us to see how smart we are.

18. They test us because they crave drama in their lives.

19. Some test because they enjoy making us uncomfortable.

20. They test us because they can. :-]

The following examples are tests from the type of women you do not want to
get involved with. So be aware of, and try to avoid these types of women.

Let’s look at the tests.

1) The old 'outrageously flirting with another man in front of you' test.

2) The old 'yelling at you for checking out another girl to see what you
do’ test.

3) The horrible and dreaded 'canceling a date at the last moment for no
reason' test.

4) The worst one of all, 'getting you really turned on while making out
and then saying no to see if you really respect me' test.

There are many, many more tests but this is enough for the purpose of this
article. Now let’s look at ways to RESPOND to these nasty little tests as
opposed to REACTING.

1) The old 'outrageously flirting with another man in front of you' test.

a. This one was really tough to take with a woman I was in love with
for a long time. I thought she would grow out of it. But she didn’t.
What I learnt to do however was to ignore her when it happened and
enjoy my evening by chatting to other women or friends of hers. The
best thing you can do is to NOT make a mention of it or big deal of
it. If possible strike up a conversation with either her good looking
friends or other women at the venue you are in. This will cool her off
and if it doesn’t, you may have an unsuitable partner who will flirt
 every time you go out. You can only change yourself and your emotions
so it’s unlikely she will change this habit. If she flirts, ignore it
and enjoy your night. If she is always a flirt, you need to move on
from her, she is trouble.

2) The old 'yelling at you for checking out another girl’s arse to see
what you do’ test.

a. To start with, try to avoid checking out other girls in her presence.
This gives you integrity and a style above others. If she does lose it
without reason for doing so, she is likely insecure and looking for
drama. Don’t yell back at her and calmly tell her to settle down.
Smiling, tell her you are going to spank her when you get home if she
doesn’t behave. This should defuse it, by getting a laugh and she may
just want you to spank her! :-]

3) The horrible and dreaded 'canceling a date at the last moment for no
reason' test.

a. This is really disappointing isn’t it? You are about to walk out the
door and she sends a sms

Canceling. The most effective way to avoid this is to mention that one of
the worst things women can do is to not show up and cancel dates. If you
state this when you arrange for a meeting, it does help prevent it from
happening. We are all busy and need to plan ahead to be effective. However
be careful not to write her off as she may have a legit reason for it
happening. If it happens twice in a row, she’s gone…don’t put up with it!

4) The worst one of all, 'getting you really turned on while making out
but then saying no to see if you really respect me' test.

The toughest one of all. Best to back off a little and be calm about it.
Don’t sulk or push it. Just relax and have a bit of fun somehow. If you
are cool about it and she can see that you aren’t stressed, she’ll likely
relax and you have passed the test. Then just gently start making out
again. Chances are you have proven that you respect her by remaining calm
and playful.
Have you ever wondered why you are single and lonely - have you ever
stopped to think that this should not be the case - have you ever cried
yourself to sleep believing you are going to be left on the shelf. Well
now it is time to stop wondering because your ideal partner is out there
but how can they possibly meet their perfect match when you are sitting at
home wondering.

What is it that is holding you back apart from yourself - is it the actual
approach to ask for a date or is it fear of rejection that worries you?

These are two fear factors you have to overcome if you are to leave your
world of loneliness. Why are you single and lonely - do you pine for
companionship.

So what - if the opposite sex declines your invite for a date - you are
not on your own. There are thousands of people single and lonely
experiencing refusals and rejection but continues to carry on regardless
till they strike lucky. The good thing about rejection is you have just
found out that this particular person you liked is not who you will be
settling down with - therefore not your ideal partner. Heartache is
involved when dating the wrong partner.

Is it the actual face to face approach that causes you concern. Well stop
concerning yourself over trivial matters because there are so many other
options for you to liberate yourself from asking yourself why you are
single and lonely.

Okay keep your distance if that`s the way you want it. If you think your
ideal partner is across the other side of the room then be sure to send a
warm smile over in their direction - if this is responded to with a smile
back then fine. This is a great start because you have caught the
attention from a confused person who is now a slight unsure as to whether
the smile was meant for them. It is now that they may approach to ask
about the smile - then you take it from there. (Not in all cases do they
come over) Do the talking with your eyes - eye contact along with the
facial expression saying I am interested in you can work wonders for most.
Don`t be alarmed at some responses you may get by this glance approach
because what you may have thought was good facial expression may have come
across to the person on the other side of the room like that of a pervert
in the corner.

Practice expression techniques at home in the mirror till you like what
see - and if you want to go out with you - then why wouldn`t any one else.

If the thought of being single and lonely worries you then why not try the
hand written message tactics. Remember with the right choice of words
there maybe a glimpse of hope. Nothing to soppy and not I love me who do
you love - this can kill any chance you may have had. If you show enough
interest in a certain person in the right way you will get a reaction -
not always the one you want but at least you know where you stand.

If only the lonely would choose to mingle - then single they will not be.
For quite some time now or since time immemorial, many women have been
embarking on that quest towards the elusive "Mr. Right". But how does one
woman know if she is succeeding on the turf of dating or if she is mainly
risking her safety?

Here are ways to know whether a woman is making the most out of her dating
life without making her safety suffer.

Listen to your heart.

If intuition tells one that she is not striking a string with a certain
main, she should follow her gut feel and dump the guy, gently that is.
Dating is not about jumping on every person that shows interest. Settling
for something less is not that good of an option.

Trust yourself.

This goes with the gut feel advice. If the man seems too good to be true,
chances are, he really is not good for you. Don't be misled by saccharine
promises. Learn to psychoanalyze a bit. Doing some background check surely
won't hurt.

Feel the earth move under your feet. Nope, I'm not making you dance or
something like that. What I mean is keep your self grounded. Don't be
swept off by the giddy feeling all too suddenly. Taking things in stride
will keep you safe from being hurt if the guy or girl is not really what
you expected him or her to be. Single dating is not carried out like an
overnight success. Be consciously cautious.

Never give in to peer pressure. If your roommates know about your online
dating escapade and are telling you to single out somebody that you think
doesn't make the cut, you know, your standards, don't be swayed by them.
If they want that guy, they can have him, right? Single dating is not
supposed to be the decision of the group, apparently.

Being too desperate over a relationship will spoil the fun of single
dating life. If you go against that nagging but "healthy" advice of your
instinct that you're overdoing your dealings with your boyfriend and you
better stop it or else…, it will be your loss, really. For instance, you
came to the point that you're relationship is about to end, in short,
you're being dumped, but you're still doing too many things to patch
things up, that's obviously being desperate. Single dating is just single
dating. If you thought of him as the future father of your babies but
you're just a fling for him, for Pete's sake, obviously you're not in the
same boat. Get out of that relationship, fast!

If all the while you've been aiming for that long-term relationship, here
are few fool-proof tips on how to spot who's NOT the man.

21. He's overly unreliable. Promises to call you but he won't.

22. He does not let you in his intimate circle of friends.
23. He never spouts anything about your future together
24. He rushes you into his bed.
With those in mind, and you armored with presence of mind and a cautious
but not paranoid attitude, you'll be well set off for the goodies of
single dating. Go get him swooning over you!
Dating online has made the world a smaller place since meeting that
special someone no matter how near or far is just a click away.

If one decides to try online dating, here are few advices one must
remember along the way;

25. Take it slow

There are a lot of nice people online but there are also some bad people
who just take advantage of others. To be sure whether the person one is
corresponding with is for real or just playing games, it is best to look
out for inconsistencies. If at any instance, there is a feeling of doubt
or something wrong, then its best to stop and move on.

26. Don’t give out personals

Since one does not have any idea who this person can be, it is best not to
give out any personal information such as last name, real email address
and contact numbers. If the person one is corresponding with keeps on
pressuring on this issue, it is best to also stop making contact with that
person.

27. Ask for a photo

Some people say it does not matter what is in the outside but what is
inside the person. Physical appearance believe it or not matters. To
authenticate the person one is talking with online, it is best to ask for
a photo. For security reasons, it will be best not just one picture but in
various settings. If this person is not able to do this, then one should
also stop making contact with this person.

28. Proceed with caution

Earning the trust of people does not happen overnight. By taking some time
to know more about this person, one will be able to see if this can on any
further or be better off meeting someone else.

29. Meet only when ready

Even if a certain level of trust has been established, it is best to only

decide to meet when one is ready. Just like meeting someone for the first
time, one should take it slow.

30. Choose a public area

Before meeting this person, it is best to tell people like friends and
family where one is going. In the interest of safety and security, it is
also best to meet in a public place. If there are many people that are
around, the safer it will be in case the date does not workout.

Meeting people online may be a little different from meeting someone new
through friends. The similarities in both situations are; it takes time to
know a person and there is nothing wrong being too careful especially with
matters of the heart.
