When initiating a conversation with someone from an online dating website, a tip to the wise: make sure your note is something personal and specific to the person whose interest you are trying to attract. This online dating tip applies doubly to men than it does for women, unfortunately.
Why? Women, on average, get twenty times more responses to their profiles compared to men. Similar to the offline world, online dating is usually instigated by the man in a heterosexual pairing.
But how do you make this online dating tip work for you? Read the profile of the person you are trying to attract very carefully. Take a couple of minutes, and make notes if required. Then, when you start writing that first email, comment on the items mentioned that caught your interest.
For instance, "I noticed that you are an animal lover. Do you have any pets?" or, "Wow, a fellow urban spelunker! We are a rare breed. How did you get into the study of urban archaeology?"
When you use the same email to send out to everyone that catches your fancy in the online dating world, it smacks of rudeness and insincerity. It's not hard to spot a fake in person, and it's even easier to spot one online. Take some time to make your first inquiry something original, unique, and interesting.
Most online dating tip websites also add that you should make as little of the first message about you as possible, and focus instead on the person you are emailing. In my experience, I've found that this is sound advice. Focus on the person you are trying to get to know, without making it sound like you are playing 20 questions. Of course, you can add some tips about yourself in the online dating response. And it's probably a good idea if you think about it - otherwise the other person is left thinking, "Um, who IS this person, and why should I bother emailing them back?".

Online Dating Lesson 2:How To Make Your First Chat Successful
by Kathryn Hamilton
Before you have that first chat with someone at an internet dating site, make sure you read their entire profile. This will provide you with material you can use to get the conversation started. Usually in their profiles, people speak in broad terms about themselves rather than being specific. They put things such as "I like sports" or "I enjoy outdoor activities" or "I like going to the movies". This is an excellent opportunity to get to know this person and let them know you are interested in more than just their picture. You could say "I see you like sports, what's your favorite team?" or "I noticed in your profile that you enjoy outdoor activities. I enjoy canoeing and bike riding, what are your favorite outdoor activities?"or "I see you like going to the movies,me too!I like to watch comedies, what type of movies do you like?. By starting the conversation this way after a few minutes the other person will feel thy are talking to a friend right away and not be so shy and the conversation will then take off in many different directions.
Be careful to avoid simple yes and no answers because they don't really make a conversation and this may turn the other person off. Remember the point of this conversation is to find out if you are compatible.
Avoid unpleasant topics such as crime. You want to keep the conversation fun and upbeat .
No matter how tempted you might be, don't make exaggerated claims about yourself. This only leads to rejection and disappointment later should you meet in person. To find your true soul mate, honesty about yourself is really important.
Even though I have cautioned you to avoid giving simple yes and no answers, on this first chat, don't be a complete open book either. Remember this first chat is to determine if you are compatible. Once you determine that you are, you could end the chat by saying "I have really enjoyed chatting with you, we seem to have a lot in common. Then decide on a time and date for your next chat. A little mystery is exciting and will leave you both eager for your next chat.
Finally I want to caution you to NEVER give out your full name, address, place of employment, or phone number during your first few chats. Usually the person you are talking to is sincere but on the off chance they are an internet predator,you need to know that they could use this information to figure out where you live. Most predators aren't in for the long haul and if you don't give up this information within the first few chats, they will probably look elsewhere. If anyone tries to pressure or coax this information out of you this should send up a red flag and you should end the chat immediately and report them to the dating site. This type of behavior is unacceptable.
If you follow these guidelines, you will have a safe and enjoyable first chat and you will be excited for the next one.

Online Dating Lesson 1:Creating an Honest Online Dating Profile That Gets Results
by Kathryn Hamilton
Your goal when creating an online dating profile is to attract the type of person you would want to have a long term relationship with, Right? This seems like it should be simple-cut and dry, but just like everything else if you’re going to do a good job and get the results you want you need to do a little research and learn before you do. Let’s go over the different sections on a typical dating profile and I’ll give you tips for each section.
The Photo
You must upload your photo! I can’t stress this enough. People don’t reply if you don’t have a photo as part of your profile. They think there must be something wrong with your appearance, or that you are trying to hide a dishonest profile. Remember, your choice of photo says something about you and you want to be sure it’s not the wrong message or the replies you get will not be the ones that you are looking for. Your photo must be a current one. The other person is expecting to meet the current you-not the one from 10 years or 50 pounds ago. If they are the person you are looking for they will think you are beautiful or hansom just as you are today. An incurrent or altered photo is in essence a lie and will lead to disappointment and rejection later if you should meet in person. Professional photographers are trained to help you relax and capture your personality in your photograph and most can provide you with one in an uploadable format. If you choose not to use a professional, have a good friend whom you are comfortable with take the picture with a digital camera so you will be able to upload it easily. Remember not to rush the photo shoot, this puts too much pressure on you and you will end up with a stiff posed picture with no personality at all. If you take your time and have fun, you will be rewarded with a photo in which your personality shines through. Your main photo should be close up, a head shot if possible. One of the biggest mistakes people make is uploading a picture of themselves taken from too far away. In pictures like this it is hard to get a good look at you. Especially since the photo size on most dating sites isn’t very big in the first place. Dress as you would for your first date and unless you are trying to attract someone for casual sex, avoid wearing a bathing suit or other seductive clothing. Your goal is to look good, not for sale. There are creeps out there and for your own protection, you don’t want to attract these kinds of people. Also avoid having anyone else in your main photo , and it is fairly obvious when you have cropped someone else out of the photo. The person viewing your photo may wonder if that arm they see in the background belonged to your ex and they may lose interest. You should include at least 2 other photos of yourself and these can be of you doing a favorite hobby or activity. In these photos you can include other people or pets. Your selection of photos can tell a little story about yourself, so have fun and choose wisely .
The Headline
This is the section of your profile where you are asked to write a 1 line phrase describing yourself for people to notice when they are looking through the search results. Make this phrase catchy and fun. Include your favorite hobby or activity in a humorous way. For instance, if you are into gardening say garden lover seeks a great gal/guy with a green thumb. If you enjoy hiking and other outdoor activities say Nature lover seeks a guy/gal to share the view. Anything that will catch their eye and make you stand out when they are looking through lots of search results is what you’re after. Again , please don’t choose a sexually explicit message.
Skipping The 3 Most Common Essay Questions
The three most common essay questions on a dating profile are give some general information about yourself, describe your appearance, and what are you looking for in a partner. This is not as hard as most people make it. All you need to do is follow a few guidelines . First, don’t give out any personal information about yourself such as your full name, your address , your place of employment, your phone number, or your e-mail address (other than the anonymous one you get through your dating site) You need to get to know someone before you give out personal information. Keep the length of your answers to 4 or 5 lines per question. Save the details for your chats which are actually dates. Be truthful about your appearance . If there is something you don’t like about yourself such as your build or your weight, say you are average not athletic. Then you could say you are currently having fun working out at the gym or that you are on the Nutrasystem Diet and the food is great . This will let the person know that you are the type of person that is motivated to improve yourself and that is an attractive quality. Finally when you start listing what you are looking for in a partner try not to sound like a complainer with the negatives . If your ex always spent all of his free time watching T.V. and you never got out of the house and went anywhere say you are looking for someone who is willing to have adventures and try new things. If smoking is a deal breaker say no smokers, please. Doing this will prevent you from a real disappointment of finding out later after you have become emotionally attached through all your chats and phone calls. Your honesty should help keep the people you don’t want from contacting you in the first place.
Don’t Sit Back And Wait
You will have far more responses and a much more enjoyable experience if you jump right in and start contacting people right away instead of waiting for them to contact you. Many dating sites allow you to send a card to someone to get their attention and let them know you’re interested. This way if your headline didn’t catch their attention your card/e-mail will.
Spelling and Grammar Count
It may seem like a no brainier, but if you have a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes it will turn people off. People will think you are either uncaring , or just plain stupid.
It’s Not Written In Stone
If you aren’t getting any responses or the right kind of responses, go over your profile and make a few changes, and maybe choose different pictures. It costs nothing to tweak your profile from time to time . Online Dating isn’t an exact science and it may take a few tries to get it right. Whatever you do don’t get discouraged. There are many successful relationships that have started with online dating.

Matchmaking – the online remedy for loneliness
by David Yuri
The Internet offers a great opportunity for communication between people around the world; why not use this opportunity to meet other individuals who are equally interested in developing social, romantic or even sexual relationships? Online dating is not exactly a new concept. However, online matchmaking is a new concept through which members of an online community help each other find their match. Online communication also offers the comfort of your anonymity, encouraging those who are shy to express themselves with more ease.
For those who are not yet familiar with the notion, online matchmaking is not very much different from classical online dating. The end goal is similar for both of them: the possibility for two compatible individuals to get together. Most frequently, dating sites are virtual gatherings of lonely people trying to socialize with each other. Matchmaking sites facilitate selection by providing certified questionnaires and tests and apply specific selection criteria to their members. These sites function as a living, growing community where members, single or not, can help each other find the appropriate match.
Trying to establish a relationship with a stranger listed on a dating site among many others can be a rather difficult situation. One should establish some selection criteria such as sex, age, physical aspect (height, weight) or more subjective criteria such as interests and hobbies. There are some sites, which almost do the selection for you.
Membership on these sites is a question of a selective granting only to those who match some specific characteristics. Each new user needs to go through an assessment by the site coordinator who uses certified methods. Apart from that, many personal details need attention, as well as a description of the person desired. Once a member, one gradually obtains rating points from other members and, of course, from the administrator.
Before registering with one of the matchmaking sites, think about some things to request from the one you would like to meet and some of your own characteristics. Clarify things that you compulsory request from the one you intend to develop relationships with, features you would appreciate, but you can do without and characteristics you will not tolerate.
To what concerns your own person, you should select endearing attributes, activities, interests and hobbies, but also state things you wish to improve in your attitude and / or appearance. This review of yourself and your wishes will be rather difficult to go through, but it will improve your orientation and will increase your chances to find the appropriate one.
Anonymity is a controversial subject. It might be the greatest advantage of Internet communication. Those who are shy or reserved have the chance to explore a relationship before disclosing intimate details. Inappropriately used by some, anonymity can lead to rather inconvenient insecurity, but the test of time will differentiate those who show serious interest.
There are many other advantageous attributes of online dating. One of them is that you can access the site at any time of the day or night. This is convenient as many of us are still lonely because our professional life doesn’t leave much time for joining new groups and meeting new people. Another aspect is that millions of people currently figure as registered on matchmaking sites. This large number guarantees a wide diversity, so you have small chances of not finding what you want.
Yet another favorable aspect is that you can easily point out your best attributes in the profile you create for yourself. In this manner, you escape the wrong first impression you might cause. One of the best advantages is that you have enough time to react; you can take as much time as you need to respond if you don’t do very well in the heat of the moment.
Today, new and more efficient methods of online relationship development have appeared as a substitute for the old-fashioned and traditional online dating sites. The innovation consists of new methods to create personalized profiles and capacity to initiate conversations based on compatible individuals. This removes the frustration and insecurity of initiating a conversation with a stranger and gives such communities the possibility to give happiness to those who are lonely. With the use of modern technology, matchmaking online provides facilitated communication between people all around the world.
Don’t hesitate to choose online matchmaking. Our website guarantees great dating opportunities with people of whom you now only dream.

How to Choose the Right Online Dating Service - a Woman's Guide
by David Kamau
Choosing a dating site can be intimidating. There's a virtual smorgasbord of choices. This article will guide you on how to choose the right dating site by narrowing down the field.
The right dating site for you is the one the best fits who you are and what you are. You need to be clear about yourself and your goal - your personality type and what you are want. Among the most important things to consider are:
1. Your likes and dislikes
2. Your interests and hobbies
3. The type of relationship you want.
If you are new to online dating, or are simply seeking a companion, the best path is the one that leads to popular dating sites. If marriage or a long term relationship is the goal, then go for a matchmaking site.
There are also dating sites that cater to adult needs, as well as sub-categories of the adult niche such as encounters, BDSM, fetish, swinging et al.
Special interest and community dating sites also exist for almost anything you can think of...outdoor or fitness enthusiasts, couch potatoes, religious, non-religious, gays, lesbians etc…well, almost anything you can think of. So what's a girl to do? A girl should choose the site or sites that best fit her needs.
There are free sites. Not recommended but if money is a real concern, they are better than nothing. There are the large paid sites with many and varied features like chat, IM and profile matching systems. There are also less expensive paid sites but, naturally, with fewer features.
Here are some things to consider when choosing a dating service:
1. Database: Obviously, you don't want to be in a site where you are the only girl. You also need choice so that you may come to, hopefully, the best match for what you want in a mate.
2. Cost. How much do you want or how much can you spend each month for your membership(s)?
3. Features. Which features are the most important to you?
a) Profile matching systems. Is this a feature you really want or would you rather decide who is right for you all by yourself?
b) Chat and IM? There are websites who offer chat rooms, live web (or video) chat and IM (Instant Messaging) on their sites. Does that matter or would you be happy with just email?
c) Outside Events…such as speed dating? Are you interested in that?
d) Privacy: Some websites allow you to limit who can view your picture or your profile. Does this matter to you or do you want as wide exposure as you can have?
e) Safety. There are websites that perform background checks of all subscribers and certify their age, marital status and criminal background. Would you feel safer using this feature?
These are a few things but not all things you should consider when choosing an online dating service. Do your homework, choose wisely and you might find the just the person you seek.

Go Online to Find Your Soul Mate
by Vic Bilson
Everyone dreams of finding the perfect soul mate who has all the traits they want in his or her partner. One good place to begin your search is Christian online dating sites. These online dating sites help you to find someone with common interests as your own and you'll find a large number of people from which to choose. These sites are safe and you can feel comfortable meeting the right people who share the same basic Christian principles as yourself. This is particularly helpful as compared to a regular date, where you generally know absolutely nothing about the person you have started dating.
Benefits Of Dating Online
Online Christian dating sites provide a safe and healthy place to exchange ideas between two people, before they actually meet. A healthy relationship between two people gives each person in the relationship the feeling of being special and being liked by somebody. This leads also to improved confidence in other areas of life.
Dating a person from your own faith gives you strength to do things, within your framework of values. A like-minded person acts as your support when you feel burdened under the pressure of things happening around you. Conversely, dating a non-Christian will increase the chances of your neglecting basic Christian values and wandering away from your faith.
Secure And Relaxed Setting
On-line Christian dating sites offer protected and comfortable surroundings to meet and get to know new people. Here you get the chance to meet someone, determine whether they hold the same values as you, and then become friends. Oftentimes, the people you meet online will remain your friends all your life. As the friendship develops over time, you may just discover the person is your perfect soul mate.
Endless Choice
Christian dating sites offer an enormous choice of people when seeking a new friend or partner. Since others on a Christian dating site will be more likely to share your beliefs and values, you can be sure of finding someone who shares your religious beliefs as well as your tastes. You can also choose your friends according to your preference of lifestyle and profession.
Things to Look For on an Online Christian Dating Site
The ideal dating web site will have a few or all of the following features:
* Chat rooms are where interesting conversations can take place and can provide a perfect medium to get to know the other person better, without actually meeting them.
* Eventually, you'll want to be able to send mails to the personal email id of the other person.
* The ability of sending voice messages can also be a benefit and is available on some of these sites.
* Sharing pictures with your online friends by posting them in a picture gallery can also foster getting to know one another better.
* And, a site that offers online matchmaking can be a huge benefit to you.
A Few More Important Guidelines to Consider
Most Christian dating sites have a very strict privacy policy and will professionally maintain the privacy and security of the information provided by their customers.
When you first start using an online dating site it's important to maintain your anonymity. Although the dating sites do not revel your identity to other members, eventually you will get in touch with others and exchange personal information. You'd be advised to first exchange more general information with the person, as you take the time to form an opinion about them. Exchanging your contact details or personal details should wait for a later time.
When you finally feel comfortable to share your personal information with the other person, make sure they also reveal as much about themselves. Since meeting is typically the next step in a relationship like this, pressure will start building for you to meet. However, don't feel pressurized or jump to any conclusions. You want to spend enough time talking or exchanging e-mails until you feel comfortable with your choice.
When you do finally meet for the first time, it's prudent to meet at a public place for the first few meetings. A coffee shop, a restaurant, a mall or busy market are a few ideal spots for meeting for your first dates. You may even want to have a close friend accompany you on your very first meeting. Before your first meeting, be sure to leave the details of your meeting, such as place and time of meeting, with a friend or family member. Having your own vehicle also helps to avoid unpleasant or uncomfortable situations.
Throughout the process from initial contact to personal meeting, always pay attention and heed any alarming signals you receive. For example, if you feel that the other person is avoiding certain questions, that might be a signal to stay away. When you do meet, does the person live up to the details they gave you before? How is the person's behavior when you meet? As a Christian, you wouldn't approve of your partner making any physical advances, for instance. If you observe behavior and gestures that seem rude, you should heed this as a warning and stay away from that person in future.
So, if you want to stay away from the partying and clubbing scene, then a Christian dating site might be for you. Christian dating sites are the ideal place to find a large number of like-minded people, having similar interests and hobbies as you. Pay attention to the advice given here and you'll have more pleasant and fulfilling dating experiences. You can enjoy the fun of dating while at the same time seek your soul mate.

Tips to a Great Online Dating Experience
So you are thinking about joining the online dating scene for the first time? It can be a bit daunting when you start. If you're unsure of yourself or having second thoughts you're not alone. It will get easier and quicker as you go. Here are some tips to help you enjoy your online dating life.
First, you need to be honest. This begins with your profile, don't try to be someone you're not and don't try downplay the truth. When you do meet someone, it will surface right away and possibly destroy the relationship. If you want to find a partner who loves you for who you are, you need to be honest.
The second thing you should do is to use a photo. Most dating sites allow you to upload a photo. The photo should be a recent one. Don't use one from ten years ago when you had more hair. If you don't have one, just have a friend take one with their digital camera. Profiles with pictures are more likely to be viewed. It's not so much what you look like, but that with no photo is may be assumed you are hiding something.
Third be safe, by not sharing any of your personal information. Keep in mind that not everyone on the dating site has good intentions. You should not use your last name in your profile. Don't give your address or personal information to anyone you may be chatting with. Over time you may develop a relationship with someone and want to talk on the phone. It is best to give a cell number as this number is not tractable to an address. Just keep your guard up until you really know someone.
You should always be nice; this isn't the elementary school playground. Due to the anonymity the internet provides, it is easy to sometime not be so nice. If someone approaches you online that you are not interested in, just politely tell them so.
Finally have fun and enjoy your time meeting other people. It may take some time before you find someone you are truly interested in. If you are have fun along the way it makes the journey just as interesting as the destination. If a match doesn't work, don't get discouraged; just keep going until you meet the right person.
Online dating is an excellent way to meet people you would not otherwise meet. Enjoy meeting these people online, but still make sure you get out some too, don't just stay in front of the computer.

30 and Single? Experiences With the Dating Scene Over Thirty
So your thirty and happen to be single? Maybe you have woken up one morning only to realize that you wont to start a family.
This article's purpose is not to provide answers to the problem of dating in your thirties, only to state the difficulties that arise that people past the age of thirty come up against.
Past the age of thirty you generally have your life goals pretty well assessed and a secure job. So the dating game can be a little different compared to when you were younger when burning the wick at both ends every weekend was possible.
Cautious behavior can creep in when trying to date in your thirties. Time is getting on and you don't want to waste another ten years on another failed relationship. You would think that dating as you get older would get easier because you are more stable and self aware. But on the contrary it actually gets increasingly frustrating. Talking to many people that have had the same experiences I come to the conclusion that dating in your thirties does pose its own problems even though you may be better off financially and mentally.
Biologically and Socially you are not really in your prime years for the dating scene with which is more geared towards the younger generation. However there are bars and websites that are geared directly towards your needs. This is great because it puts all the people in the same situation together saving you time and money.
The negative tone to this article should by no means be a deterrent to get out there and find your lover. I have met many thirty and forty year olds saying that the dating scene is alive and well for anyone over thirty. Your only as old as you feel and should not let your age deter you from great dating experiences. Just remember that there are difficulties associated with this age group that have put some people off dating as they grow older.
I recommend visiting the friends dating for all your christian dating advice needs.
This informative site provides wonderful insights on a host of different dating subjects.

Dating After 50 - Start the Next Half Century With a Bang!
You may think that if you are over 50 meeting someone is impossible. Not true! While it is not the same as meeting people when you are in your 20s and 30s there are plenty of singles over 50 just waiting to meet someone special. If you are like a lot of people, the bar scene grows tiresome and at your age you may feel that has to be a better way! There are many alternatives out there that may lead you to meet a new romance, a serious relationship or just a friend-and who doesnt need more friends?
Take a look at the list below and consider trying these venues to meet someone new. Remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained!
1)Senior Centers. OK, this may bring to mind a place where old fogies go to vegetate but nothing could be further from the truth! These days it is all about staying active to stay healthy and young! Todays senior centers are hubs of activity, many of which are geared toward singles. They have mixers, classes, card games, travel and much more. Even if you dont meet a special someone, I doubt you will be bored.
2)Religious Services. If you practice a religion or believe in a particular faith but do not currently attend services, consider visiting a Church or Temple. Chances are you will meet someone with like values, plus they are always welcoming to visitors or new members. Check out more than one to see which has a population similar to your age.
3)School. What? Did she just say school? You bet! Many people go back to school after retirement and take classes just for fun. Many really want to finish a degree. Non traditional students have to stick together and often seek each other out in order to be around other students they have something in common with.
4)Singles events. Check in your local paper or entertainment guide for a listing of singles events in your area. Speed dating is often organized by age groups. There are also dances, happy hours and other activities that are often geared just toward people over 50.
5) Online dating. This is the newest thing out there. There are dating websites just for people over 50. It allows you to go at your own pace in getting to know someone before you meet and helps you find not only eligible people but people you are compatible with. You can put in your zip code and get a plethora of available people near you complete with profiles and pictures. You use a screen name so you have privacy, and if you dont think you will be a good match with someone there is no obligation to continue contact with them. Now days most people have a personal computer so posting a profile is no problem. If you dont have a computer, you can use one at the library for free. It can be hard to meet people but so many people spend a significant amount of time online using online dating sites can produce great results.
One thing to keep in mind is that you are not the only person out there looking for someone. You may feel like the only single person out there but the truth is there are a lot of people in the same boat. You just have to find them. I just gave you five great ways. So what are you waiting for? Put yourself out there and see what happens!

Online Dating For Most Dummies- Men Only
Let's face it online dating for most dummies can be a real challenge.
In this article, I am going to break down everything a man needs to do in order to be successful in online dating.
1. Find a Good Online Dating Site
There are several good online dating sites that are out there, unfortunately for most dummies the number of bad dating sites are in the hundreds if not thousands by comparison.
Your best bet is going to be to stick with the larger dating sites at first.
2. Your Profile
No matter what, a woman is going to look at your profile to determine if she will even consider talking to you.
A good username is the first step in the process and what you write as well as the pictures you put up are the most important parts of your profile.
3. Emails That You Send Her
Honestly, this is where most dummies get it wrong as they either send out a generic hello or more often than not an email that says nothing more than I looked at your picture and really liked it.
What you want to do when you send a woman an email is show her that you relate to her in some way and/or what is attractive about it (non-physical aspects).
In the end, it is important to remember what you want to get out of your online dating experience, almost all men want at the very least to meet a woman in person yet most dummies wait until she tells them to take it offline which in most cases is never.

Help With Dating - What to Do If You Need Help With Dating
If you need help with dating, several online dating sites can lend a hand. However, most people don't have time to spice up their dating life, since more focus is given towards career advancement and leading an independent life. Some even consider getting help with dating unimportant.
Contrary to popular belief, online dating sites are not only limited to singles desperately seeking a partner. With a more aggressive attitude towards dating, it opens up more opportunity to meet other singles. Aside from that, online dating sites are also reinventing the way we look at the concept of dating.
To join online dating sites, you are usually required to sign up first. The signing up process is free and it provides access to a large network of fellow singles.
If you meet someone you like, you can easily contact them; it saves you the awkward feeling that goes with introducing yourself to someone of the opposite sex for the first time. This is a big help with dating someone, especially if you're an introvert or a shy type.
When you are past that stage, you must learn to go with the flow. You have to enjoy every step of the getting-to-know process or you are missing the point. Here are a few useful tips to help you with the actual dating:
1. Quit worrying about being rejected. Only when you learn to value yourself will they see your value as well.
2. If you just experienced a painful break-up, learn to let go. Old memories belong to the past; you're with a different person this time.
3. Learn how to balance your career and dating.
4. Be sensitive with the person. When you are too consumed with the impression you are making, you might send the wrong signal that you are not interested in getting to know them.
5. Learn to enjoy your date. Instead of worrying too much about what could go wrong, you must try to relish the time you have by enjoying the company of each other.
Whether you opt for an online dating site or you use your own dating personality to win someone over, it is your choice. Remember: dating should be fun, not stressful. Hence, you have to assess your own dating preference first before you seek help with dating.

Things to Talk About With Your Girlfriend
Talking is one of the best ways of getting to know more about someone, and talking to your girlfriend is the best way to forge tight bonds with her. It is very possible that years down the line, the two of you will remember many of the things you will say to each other in these younger days. These fond memories play an integral part in most long-running relationships.
One of the best ways of having a good, healthy and wholesome chat with your girlfriend is to start with small talk. The small talk will give you a general picture about her likes and dislikes, as well as what she would like to discuss and what she would rather leave alone. Once the small talk gives you a general idea, you can go ahead and discuss your common likes and dislikes. A wholesome chat can also end up in a decision to do something you can enjoy together. For example, a chat about the latest movie or play can actually end up in the two of you standing in queue to buy tickets for it.
As you begin to form opinions of your girlfriend during the course of conversation, she in turn does the same. Therefore, you should think carefully before speaking and taking up subjects that might be repugnant to her. Religion and politics, for example, are subjects which often don't gel well with breakfast, lunch or dinner. Unless and until you are open and ready for an active debate, those topics shouldn't be touched with a barge pole. Talking about it, however, gives you an indication of your girlfriend's political and religions leanings.
A chat is one of the best ways to express your love to your girlfriend. But you should never utter the words "I love you" unless you mean it. This is because false love is very easily found out by women. In addition, most girlfriends enjoy hearing it, but dont make yours hear it all the time or she may begin to find the otherwise-well-meaning utterance tiresome.

Dating Someone With Herpes - The Issue of Awareness and Ignorance
Dating someone with herpes might be a little off particularly to those who do not have herpes at all. But how do you exactly know if you have herpes or not? According to studies, almost 90% of herpes infected individuals do not exactly have the awareness that they already incurred the disease. Since mild herpes do not actually have symptoms, unless the outbreak comes out or you have yourself tested, this will be the only time you will know you have one.
As herpes can be transmitted in many different ways, the big question falls on this? "Is it safe to date someone with herpes"? In actual fact, dating someone with herpes requires the identification of the severity of the disease itself. Although it is awkward to ask someone concerning this type of infection, a thin line between taking heed and curing herpes and those people that do not provide treatments at all will all determine the disparities.
If someone you are dating has herpes for a long period of time and is undergoing medical treatments, doing the deed with a protection will somehow make a difference weigh against sleeping with someone who doesn't have an inkling of having herpes and definitely is not doing anything to cure it.
Dating someone with herpes need not be a big issue. Even if this disease is tagged along with a dim-witted stigma for it being a form of a sexually transmitted disease, do you think you have laid yourself open to greater risk without the discernment between sleeping with a person curing herpes and the one who have unconsciously acquired the disease without providing any treatments at all? You choose.

Breast Cancer InformationFacebook Dating Secrets - How to Meet Women on Facebook
I am no dating expert or guru, I am just an average every day guy living a regular existence who has been able to transform his dating life and have a lot of success meeting women. Over the past couple of years I have seen Myspace transform my own and many other people's social lives. Now Facebook has produced an exceptionally great opportunity for any average guy to meet amazing women that they would have never had the chance to meet previously.
First I am going to tell you why Facebook presents this exceptional opportunity for you and then I am going to tell you the how. It is important you do not skip this section because in this case understanding the why maybe be just as if not more important than the how. Given that over 60% of Facebook users are women let me try and determine why this is the case and why it is critical for your to understand.
Why do women love social networking sites? Back in the old days when we used to live in tribes of around 100 people men used to be depended on for the survival of their family. Women and their children depended on their man to provide for and protect for them, without a man a woman and her family would usually die. There were no social services in those days. Men developed a strongly independence as they had to depend on themselves for their own survival and the survival of their offspring.
Men who were abundance in the wealth they could provide for their family were seen as attractive as there men who can great strength and fitness who could protect their family. Men who had leadership and dominance were seen as attractive as they had the power to lead others and provide and protect their families thus men who also possessed these skills also found it easy to attract a female partner.
Women on the other hand had another set of qualities which they developed in order to increase the likelihood of their survival and that of their family. This can be best described as having great communication skills. Women depended on keeping a great relationship with their man for their own survival as losing them would mean certain death. They also had to master the art of communication with their children and families. Over thousands of years this characteristics have been hard wired into our brains so that men and women will excel at certain skills.
Today women can provide for themselves, they can easily get a job and by their own food and resources, they are not dependent on men for survival. Today women's greatest skill is the one they most need to learn if they want to survive in the modern world. Learning how to communicate effectively is the key for men thriving and surviving in the modern world. There is no point in owning a billion dollar technology company or being the biggest, stronger guy in the gym if you can effectively communicate with a woman so that she stays around. Women do not have to wait around for men these days so communication is critical to attracting and keeping women.
Today people still live in tribes except they go under a different name, they are called called social networks today. Networks are a powerful influence over our every day life, the biggest more powerful networks can control an entire city, country or even an entire region. Advertising and media companies which now consist of a majority of female employees communicate with us on a daily basis whether we want them to or not. Communication is key to surviving and thriving in the modern era.
In a nutshell what I teach men is the communication and attraction skills they need to know to build their social network and attract more of the type of women they want to meet. The great news is it can be done very quickly even in a matter of days sometimes as your success building a strong network will often snowball into building up even more. Traditionally only the guys who women were naturally attracted to at a young age or were surrounded by women in high school developed the best communication skills and the biggest social networks.
The reason why I endorse developing skills at meeting women using social networking skills is that it is actually a whole lot easier. People who are in your social circle typically assume you are somewhat alike as like minded people usually spend their time together. If you go to a party filled with millionaires and beautiful women they are going to assume that you are a millionaire who attracts beautiful women even if you are flat broke. If you go to a party full of poor arts students then they are going to assume you are a poor arts student even if you are a millionaire. This works to your advantage because there is already some assumed rapport there because you are in the same social circle. All you need to do now is get attraction so lets talk about how to do that on Facebook.
Introducing the SCAN method
Search is the first step in your quest to meeting an attractive woman in your social circle. Now lets assume you have 100 friends on Facebook who all know around 20 that you don't know and that those people know another 20 people that you don't know. Applying the principle of the Six Degrees of Separation I am going to assume your social network goes five to six chains wide before you lose the connection. If you do the maths you will soon realize you have more people than you think in your extended network. I find it best not to approach new women in my immediate social circle if I don't know they are single because I do not want to upset my social circle.
So for example if I click on my friend John's profile click view friends then find Sophie who is rather attract, then click view her friends this is the degree of separation I am looking for. Close enough to be in touch and still have commonality yet not close enough to upset any of males in my friend circle who might be courting the attractive woman. This is important because you do not want men and women in your social circle working against you, you want them working on your side talking you up and helping you out.
Connect is the next step after you have found a few women who are a friend of a friend then you want to contact them via the send message feature. Warning do not poke or add as a friend until after you have connected with them. There is a big difference between contacting a woman online and actually connecting with her. Does she respond to your message? When then you have made a connection.
I have noticed ever since I started spying on other guys that my "competition" typically do two things wrong. They only write one or two lines and make it generic and the woman does not respond because the guy is a stranger and doesn't offer anything interesting about himself. Some guys make the mistake off writing way to much which telegraphs too much interest and turns the woman off. Each way can be like a cancer to your success meeting women online.
Here is a tip, write 8-12 lines or 2-3 paragraphs maximum, then I recommend you try and shorten it to 5-8 lines by cutting out the fluff and making your words more powerful and more meaningful. You want to make sure you include a call to action in every email you send out to a woman which leads to you both taking the first step. Make sure you only take it one step at a time so as not to telegraph too much interest or put too much pressure on the woman up front. The first call to action might simply be to mail you back, the second might be to ask for her IM or phone number, the third might be to talk to her on the phone and the fourth to meet up with her etc.
Attract is the next thing you need to ensure you are doing. Use emotional language in your writing too appeal to a woman, get her excited to respond to her. Make sure you have a great headline to make sure she responds to your email. It's not that hard because most guys headlines are so bad, try using there name in the headline it will increase your response dramatically. I have already talked about a few of the male fitness indicators in this article so now I want to think about how you can apply them to your profile.
Negotiate is the next step, you need to negotiate talking on the phone and going on a date or to a party together. You are the one who is responsible for this part of the proceedings, you are the man you need to take the lead. Make sure you already have decided where you want to take her before you talk to her on the phone, make it casual and relaxed so it appeals to her. She is single and looking to meet someone but she does not want a guy who is all over her. You have got her interest and built some attraction so now you have to add some logic to give her a rationalization for meeting with you or getting physical with you. I am not saying you need to sell her on the idea, I am just saying you need to state the next step so it makes sense in line with what she is already thinking. Trying saying something like "hey you seem like a pretty interesting person, lets meet at this party/coffee shop I am going to be at on friday night and see if we get along."
Facebook presents a great opportunity to meet a ton of women with no fear of rejection if you follow these simple steps. With just under a million more women on Facebook than men in the United States alone and similar figures world wide this is truly a great opportunity for you to take advantage of.

MesotheliomacancerfactRecovering From A Romance or Dating Scam (Part 1)
As bad and sad as the experience of a dating or romance scam is, there is a need to heal from it.
It is an experience that many victims who have been through it have described as being worse than a nightmare.
Although they never bargained for the romance scam when they began to look for a date online, yet when the romance scam happened, they didn't imagine that the experience would be so horrible as it later turned out to be.
Some victims told me that they couldn't sleep at night for days afterwards. Rather, they would cry their eyes out on their bed. They let me know that they would wish that the whole incidence was a dream and that it would just go away.
But it never did.
The experience stayed with them for a while before they got over it. And many others who use the internet all over the Western world are still going through the same experience till date.
From my interactions, counseling sessions and experiences with many victims of the scams, here are some tips to use in getting over this scam:
1. Do not keep what happened to you secret: Find someone to talk to about what happened. Don't keep your experience a secret just because you want to avoid being embarrassed or being ashamed.
It always helps to find someone whom you trust totally to confide in about what happened to you.
It is best to look for someone who will not condemn you for what happened. At the time it hits you that you have been scammed, you do not need a judge or a critic. You need someone on whose shoulders you can cry on, someone who o can just listen to you, without making you feel guilty.
Look for such a person and talk to the person about what happened to you. It helps a lot to do this.
2. Avoid blaming yourself: blaming yourself won't help matters at all. By engaging in the blame game, you would only be complicating matters for yourself.
It won't help you to heal fast, but will only hurt you the more emotionally.You need to break free from blaming yourself, or from being held down by the victim mentality. You can't get over the experience if you keep blaming yourself. No matter what you did wrong, you need to avoid blaming yourself.
The time after the romance scam is not the time to look for whom to blame. What you need to do is to get over it first.
3. Look for professional help where necessary: if you can't handle the experience alone, or with the person you shared with, then you need to see a professional counselor or minister to help you out.
In some cases of the romance scams, especially those in which the love affair had been going on for long before the scam took place, it might be better to seek professional help in addition to other sources of help.
This is due to the fact that such victims are often unwilling to let go of what to them seemed real and are too taken in by the illusion that they were in love with. Their reluctance to let go of the experience could actually be a problem to them, and as such, they will need professional help to get over the experience.
Also, people who have experienced cases of depression due to the romance scam are advised to seek medical help.

Dating an Older Woman and Tips to Keep Her
As a man in my twenties, my idea of dating was going out to the bar or club and hitting on any girl that I found attractive. I got shot down a lot but I also met a few great girls. However, before too long, I would become bored.
The women my age were too insecure and I couldn't really find anyone that I could talk with, that I could mesh with. Then, I met Janet. Janet is older than me and, at first, I found that a little intimidating. I figured, what could I possibly offer her? Janet is beautiful, successful and she has money. I was a broke college student who could barely make ends meet. However, I found something in Janet that I don't think I could ever find in the girls my age. I'm going to share with you my thoughts on dating an older woman and tips to keep her.
I'm sure you'll find, as I did, that once you go older, you'll never go back. Older women are generally secure with themselves! Janet was very secure with herself, both intellectually and physically. She didn't obsess over her body as the girls my age did. She was confident and she showed it in ways I'd never experienced before. She was also very wise. She was older than me so she'd seen more, known more, and I found myself learning a lot from her. We had deep conversations and, again, I haven't found anyone who could read me as well as Janet could read me, certainly not from my age range. However, my thoughts on dating an older woman and tips to keep her can help you avoid the trap I almost fell into.
The first step in dating an older woman and the tip to keep her is to treat her as if she's not really older than you. You see, because older women are more mature, they are seeking someone who is also mature. It is true that older women often seek younger guys because they find a youthful man attractive. However, they don't want a little boy, they want a man. Act like it. Treat her as if you two are the same age and your relationship will be fantastic as mine was with Janet. Dating an older woman and tips to keep her include making her feel as young and beautiful as possible, always being there for her when she needs you and even when she doesn't really need you, and to always listen to her.
Dating an older woman and the tips to keep her are really important because it's too easy for a younger man to assume that subordinate role. This is very unattractive to an older woman. After all, she's looking for a lover and a partner, not a son. Dating an older woman and the tips to keep her aren't difficult, they're actually common sense. The most important thing is to see her as a person, not an age, and have fun. That's what dating is all about, isn't it?

Online Dating - It Just Doesn't Work
It's a common complaint as you can tell by just visiting some message boards and forums. Online dating site A promised this, that and the other thing when the person signed up. Now after a year or more, they have not delivered. The individuals that the person did try to connect with were rejects. They were too needy, too incompatible, flat out boring or amazingly vulgar and frightfully stupid.
Whatever the reason, every potential cyber dating candidate has flunked and that person is trying to restrain their urge to sue the internet dating site and get their money back. Whether they do or don't the message is clear: Avoid online dating with the obligatory "it's all a scam" thrown in for good measure.
So do they have a legitimate beef? Given each individual's online experience the answer is yes. There are no iron clad promises when it comes to dating and relationships. That goes for cyberspace and the online world. You can walk into a bar or a nightclub everyday for a year that is packed with potential dating partners and not meet one person that is to your liking.
The reason that many people get very impatient with internet dating is for the exact reason they joined. The seemingly unlimited supply of would be suitors. It's easy to assume that if an internet dating service which is boasting about having millions of members and thousands of people registering everyday that you could meet one decent person.
According to surveys only ten percent of online dating participants get a response to their profile. When it comes to turning that into a relationship the figure drops to about five percent.
So why the dismal numbers?
The Profile
Or in many cases the lack of one. Many people do not even make the effort to fill out the profile completely or for that matter even upload a picture. You can visit many a dating site and see the anonymous logo instead of an actual photo. If they do fill out the profile it's so general that it still does not give a person any idea in who they may be dealing with. Sadly, in some instances the people writing the best profiles are scam artists from Nigeria.
Cruising
Besides not filling out the profile, there are a lot of people who are not looking for anything but a one night stand. Posting your photo is a red flag telling them, it's okay to practice their dirty talk on you. Their idea of a relationship and yours are two different things.
A Woman's World
Let's face it the ratio of men to women when it comes to online dating is way out of whack. That means women can be a lot more choosy in who they decide to go out with. It also means they have to take more time separating the possibles from the no way no hows. That's a pretty daunting task.
For men it's like standing in a crowd of thousands all wearing white shirts trying to get noticed by an airplane flying eight miles above. This reason alone should be the clearest indicator as to why it is essential to fill out a profile completely and make it interesting without exaggerating a.k.a. lying.
In spite of all the hard luck stories you may have come across (many of them all too true), internet dating online is booming. Maybe the tough economic times are driving more people to meet that special someone online. Or the trend lines just happened to be moving that way. The bottom line is web dating is growing by leaps and bounds which means that people are having success and there is no reason why you cannot be a member of that group.

Dating Tips For the 50s and Above
Your partner passed away of a heart attack few years back. In a way, you were glad that it was a one-time episode for he died instantly. You were not made into a nurse maid to care for an irritable hopeless invalid. Its kinda sound horrible for others to hear but you're more glad of the insurance proceeds which financed a small boutique that allowed you to be active and busy. You're 52 but your proud of it, you don't look nor feel like it. Your read about dating tips for your own age and category and not too shy to talk to friends about it.
It doesn't take very long for you to get invited in local clubs and business groups. There you meet available men and available bachelors of all ages. If ladies are hesitant to go through the dating game, the male gender is also daunted. They feel like Fred Flinstone being brought to the space age by the time machine. These Boomers are unsure how to go back to the game for the first time. Do you only kiss on the first date? How about protection, are there new and lethal sexually transmitted diseases? How about if they just go on-line dating to spare them the embarrassment of first time personal encounters? First of all, there are men who prefer older women because they are authoritative yet less demanding, mature and have the experience.
They are understanding and easy to talk with. They have a broad view of any topic. In short they are more comfortable to be with than women in their 30s or younger. Once the Boomers have started to immerse themselves into the dating game, their confidence will be slowly built-up. They feel they are attractive by the interests that they gain from the opposite sex and the respect they get from their colleagues. Some advice for the Boomers how to get that confidence and go on dates: 1.Take care of your health- a healthy and active person exudes charm that he is capable of taking care of a relationship and the future.
Go on a regular exercise routine like jogging, walking, swimming or going to the gym. Exercise wards off high blood pressure, diabetes and other illnesses. It makes the bones strong, the muscles firm and the skin healthy. Take nutritious food vitamins to give you the extra boost. A healthy person is capable or great sex and that is what this is all about. 2. Repackage yourself. Try new trends in the way you clothe yourself. The checkered shirts may be your signature in the way you dress but it may be only be appreciated by chess-playing ladies. Go to a hairdresser to get the right color and cut for your hair.
The way of dressing and haircut can take years off. 3. Develop your potential. Although middle aged, a person can live his life again by improving his knowledge and developing his potentials. Cultivate your mind, body and spirit. If before you were restricted to some activities to finance the education of the children and the home mortgage, now that you are free, indulge in pursuits that you truly love. Happiness is when you are free and enjoy what you do. 4. Plan. You should have an agenda and a time-table. See to it that your activities and up to your objective.
Schedule your meetings, your trips, your on-line chats so that you can have a pool of choices for your dates. 5. Seek. Don't be ashamed to tell people that you are seeking for a relationship. Your friends and their connections can be made to advertise your needs. Go on line. Connecting with single people is just on the tip of your fingers. It's fast, accessible and easy.6. Have faith in the universe that you will meet the man you deserve. It's never too late to meet your prince.

In line at Starbucks?
Or were you too aloof to notice Mr. Financial District next to you?
Too snobby to chat up Mr. Blue Collar ordering the Grande Drip, black?
I date a LOT because I make an effort to meet a lot of men.
I also REALLY LIKE men.
I feel they can FEEL that about me.
I appreciate them. I admire them. And I am very accepting of them that they are very visually stimulated. This means that when you make an effort to look and feel your best, men will notice you and be attracted to you.
How about yourself? Do you really LIKE men? Sure, you are sexually and romantically attracted to men. But do you really LIKE them?
Ladies, check your thinking.
Do you catch yourself thinking to yourself or saying to your GFs, "Ugh! Men are such Jerks!" Or "Ogh! Men are such idiots." Hmmm. Of course they can be. And I can be a shrew, thank you, but I'm hoping it's not your predominate thought about me.
I want you to do me a favor and start saying to yourself every morning while you are happily brushing and flossing your teeth (you are flossing, right? Be YOUR Best YOU! Flossing is part of it. Uh huh. OK, we're good.), "MEN are WONDERFUL!" Say it. MEAN it. Say it SMILING (easier to brush and floss while you're smiling....). Say it with ENTHUSIASM. Toss your head with your dazzling smile as you say it, "Men are WONDERFUL!"
And then during the day, give yourself a little challenge. Strive to NOTICE all the wonderful things men are doing around you. Keep note of them. Then at night, go write them down. Keep a pretty femmy fabulousity journal. Have a section on "Things I Admire About Men!" Things for which you are grateful.
When you do this:
Make an effort to look your best
Make an effort to notice, admire, and appreciate men
Work on your beliefs about men
You will become magnetically attractive to men and get more dates with men!
Happy Dating!

Boomers, Don't Rule Out Internet Dating
Ever considered looking for love online? Theres no need to be timid if youve thought about it. You might be surprised to learn that at least one popular dating Web site reports the fastest growing segment of people checking out the site is your peers, that is, those 45-59. In the last several years, their numbers have increased 350 percent. One key reason people are turning to online dating is because of the anonymity. Its comforting to be able to see who else is out there looking for a mate, without revealing too much about yourself. Its a safe environment to get to know someone.
Another reason, you are not limited geographically unless you want to be. Finally, we all know how easy it is to grow attached to the wrong person for the wrong reasons. You may not find your perfect match online but at least you can narrow the field by meeting people with similar interests before you get attached.
If youre a fifty-something or close to it and find yourself back in the dating game, dont believe the stereotypes about awkwardness. It may have been awhile since youve dated, but if youre like most Baby Boomers youve gained a certain wisdom that allows you to know what you want and dont want and lets you enjoy a relationship for what it is, rather than trying to make it something else. In spite of conventional thinking, many men and women are more attractive in their mid-forties to sixties than at any previous point in their lives. Thats because instead of worrying about what others think, theyve grown comfortable in their skin.
If youre considering looking online but feeling a little rusty, many dating Web sites offers dating advice for people in your age group.
While you're looking, check out these Web sites which have good track records:
eHarmony
eHarmony seeks to match an individual based on compatible core values. Using an in-depth questionnaire, they seek to make permanent matches. The goal of eHarmony is to match people in search of a life-long commitment, not just a date. Singles who have used eHarmony comment that while filling out the detailed questionnaire, they learn more about themselves and their goals, and where they are headed in life. eHarmony employs a five-step process intended to help you get past the awkward stages. On the downside, eHarmony does not allow gays and lesbians to use its site (reflecting the founders evangelical Christian beliefs).
eHarmony founder Neil Clark Warren recommends that you visit the Web site and take the tour even before you fill out the questionnaire. You can receive information about potential matches without becoming a member, though your identity remains confidential till you reveal it.
eHarmony offers many books about relationships that you may find helpful.
Take a look:
Match.com is another leading online matchmaking service, which boasts a nearly equal proportion of male and female clients. In addition to signing up, you can have free access to advice columns and answers to your relationship questions. Placing your ad is free (for a 3 day trial). Customers say the questionnaires are comprehensive, which could be one reason Match.com has a high success rate in bringing people together.

Dating Professionals - New to the City Stopping You From Dating?
As dating professionals, there are times when your job will transfer you to a far away land where you have not one acquaintance. This is when you really think "Why couldn't they relocate me back to my hometown or a place where I know at least one person?" Not only does this get boring, but also makes it hard for dating professionals to find companionship. When you don't know anyone there is no one to ask out to dinner or a movie.
Alongside not knowing anyone, newly relocated dating professionals may not even know where to look for friends. There is the ever daunting option of asking the people at your new office, but at times this may seem as though you are opening up too much to them at such an early stage as some dating professionals choose to keep their dating woes to themselves.
So here you are in a new town without any new ideas on where all of the dating professionals are hanging out. Usually there is the option of going to a local hang out spot to soak up the environment and take the edge off your long day at work and hopefully run into a dating professional of the opposite sex with a decent conversation. However, that isn't an option in your new land of the unknown.
Maybe this would be a good time for you to consider a Matchmaker. I know it may be something you haven't tried before and you may even shun from the idea. However, let me remind you there really aren't many reliable options available to you right now and if there were someone who can provide certainty for dating professionals it would be a Matchmaker. They are not only experienced at choosing compatible partners for dating professionals they also have been living in this town a lot longer than you have and therefore can also offer some cool spots where other dating professionals are hanging out. Here's the deal either you don't know where to go, there isn't anyone around who is a longtime friend, or anyone who you would go to for help as a dating professional is already married. Therefore, this pretty much leaves you with no other option but a Matchmaker who is privy to the dating professional scene in your new location.
If you are amongst the dating professionals who choose to keep all of your business to yourself they are extremely confidential, but prove to deliver compatible partners and hang out spots that will get your feet wet in your new town.
Even though you may not know it there are many dating professionals just like you who are already using Matchmakers and enjoying every bit of it. They just aren't telling you about it because they choose not to disclose too much, but they are out there and many of them have already found the person they are going to spend the rest of their life with; all from the services of a professional in their field-just as yourself.
You can either choose to be helped or sit behind your big oak desk wishing you could pick up your phone and invite someone out to a nice relaxing dinner. I'll let you choose.
