Dating Rules

Saturday, September 30, 2006
It seems like people don’t really know how to act around each other anymore when they date. In some cases it seems like the men have reverted to our cavemen ancestors. The women are also too forward and aggressive as well.

Whether you do online dating, adult dating, free dating or date the conventional way, you should know the basic rules of the dating game. Knowing them can increase your chances of doing well in the dating arena.

Dating Rule number one: courtesy is never out of style. Depending on their level of independence, women will actually decide on whether you get a second date or not on whether you open doors for her, where you late for the date or if you insisted that she take her shoes off before she could get in your car when you picked her up.

Dating Rule number two: be prepared for conversation. Grunting at your date does not count. In dating you are expected to be interesting and interested. Have some general questions ready to help you and your date get to know each other better. A great conversation will make your date feel more at ease with you and definitely keep you from getting bored on your date.

Dating rule number three: avoid talking about touchy issues on a first date. You never know if you’ll hit a nerve. Arguing with your date is totally uncool and will definitely get you taken of the dating list.

Dating rule number four: don’t get too touchy feely on the first date. Women rarely like dating an octopus, even if they are into wrestling. Men on the other hand may like women who are touchy. Ladies, best be sure you mean to deliver. No complaining if you get in over your head. Better to keep your hands to yourself.

Is The Time Right For An Offline Meeting?

You have chatted on IM, you’ve left emails for one another, you may have even left private posts on public forums. You’ve shared phone numbers and voicemail messages. You’ve learned about friends names and jobs and all those things that bother and delight your online crush.

Things are going really well – so far. You’ve even got a little pitter-patter in your stomach every time the phone rings or your email box is full. But is it time to go offline just yet?

The Risk

Moving your relationship from a cyber-based relationship to an offline relationship is a very risky move. On one hand, you’re taking a risk and an opportunity. The risk here is that you will be rejected by someone you have come to trust and appreciate. On the other hand, however, you may be taking a step into a physical relationship that can be long-term and rewarding.

Anyone who has dated online and turned that relationship into a physical one likely knows that the relationship is in potential jeopardy. Not only do the parameters and rules of the relationship change when you take it offline, but the rejection that could ensure following the offline meeting is potentially devastating. If things come crashing down, you may ask yourself, “If everything went so well online, is it just my appearance that he or she didn’t like?”

The Need

The fact of the matter is that online relationships are friendly relationships, based on mutual respect, intelligence, humor and cerebral things. However, to build a long-term, sustainable relationship, you need to add in another critical component – the physical aspect.

This physical aspect doesn’t necessarily mean sex, but it means being able to see and respond to the body language of your partner. It means knowing him or her so intimately that you can respond to the minute changes in their facial expressions.

Expectations

In order to facilitate a smooth offline meeting, if you are doing it for the first time, keep in mind that you need to be especially flexible. Do your best to avoid certain desires or expectations about your partner prior to the meeting. That way, if her hair is not the same color or if his muscles are not quite as large as you had imaged, you won’t be disappointed.

When you meet your online crush for the first time, it can feel almost surreal - as if you are meeting someone who only exists in your computer or in cyber space. Finally, you will be able to put a face with the name. You can hug, hold hands and actually memorize the movements of that person you’re so fond of.

Keep in mind that the first meeting, no matter how much you look forward to it, will be awkward for both parties. Therefore, make sure that you get up and moving for part of your date. The more you are able to interact, rather than stare across a table at each other, the better your true impression of the person will be.

If you realize that the person you are meeting offline really doesn’t meet the online needs that you have, don’t worry. These types of relationships are very different. Sometimes, the intellectual and emotional compatibility that you have online is just as important as a physical connection that you may not receive.

Therefore, follow your instincts. If you want to try again for a second date, go ahead. Otherwise, don’t stress out over the change. Having multiple satisfying and friendly relationships can be just as important as having that one love relationship.

Online Dating Addiction

Online dating is a fun way to meet a variety of intriguing people. When you engage in online dating, very little in the way of physical exertion or pride is put on the line.

The medium is rather anonymous and can be done from just about anywhere – your bedroom, work, your cell phone and more. Therefore, due to its ease and sense of gratification that can come from online dating, many people who engage in online dating run the risk of becoming addicted.

Addiction is labeled as a mental and/or physical state whereby the addict feels compelled to perform certain actions. Online dating addition, therefore, is a state in which an online dater feels a compulsion to check his and other online dating profiles.

He may log online several times a day to check messages or browse through online dating profiles. Often, the addict puts off other activities in lieu of the addiction. For example, he may avoid doing work or he may even avoid real, physical social interaction so that he can spend time online.

Online dating addiction is not one of the more popularly discussed addictions, such as alcohol addiction and drug addiction. Yet the effects on the addict’s physical and social life are just as dangerous. Because many people feel ashamed to discuss their online dating addictions, the addiction can go largely unrecognized and untreated.

However, if you feel that you have an online dating addiction, there are fast and effective steps that you can take to help rid yourself of the addiction. Know that long-term relief takes time, but short-term relief can come if you engage in any or all of the following activities:

1. Seek professional help. Professional help may come in the form of a therapy session with a physiologist, therapist, social worker or clergy member. When you seek professional help, you will be asked to speak candidly with a counselor about your addiction.

He or she will offer tangible steps and feedback that can help you to let go of your addiction. It will likely take several sessions with a professional in order to feel as if you are truly improving, but stay focused.

Your addiction will start to feel like less and less of a problem the more you focus on getting rid of it.

2. Exercise. Exercising releases endorphins, which will help to improve your mood and make you feel happy. When you exercise, there are not only physical changes that take place in your body and your brain, but you also will have attitude changes.

Your self-image will improve over time, as will your physical condition. You may even feel more inclined to date more offline than online.

3. Be social. Whether you are a social person or not, the mere fact that you seek connectivity through online dating proves that you do yearn or some social interaction. Join a club or spend some time at a café.

Just being around other people might help to make you feel as if you are part of a social scene, even if you do not enjoy spending large amounts of time with other individuals.

Online dating addiction does not have to be the painful and trying experience that it is for many people. If you feel that you could have online dating addiction, consult a professional therapist for more information or for an initial diagnostic session. In no time, you’ll be sure to start feeling more liberated and free to pursue your own pleasures again.

Could You Be Dating The Wrong Person?

Friday, September 29, 2006
Everybody wants to find their perfect match. The problem is, in order to find the person who fits the bill, you need to date and date and date and date some more. Rarely do you find your soul mate on the first try.

Dating can be so much fun you don’t realize, until too late, that you are actually dating Mr. Wrong. Your date may be the perfect guy and still end up being wrong for you. Unfortunately, the only way to learn if he is for you is to date him and really get to know him.

One way to minimize the possibilities that you’re dating the wrong person is to be very clear on what you really want before you start dating. Knowing what you want in your prospective partner means you can easily decide to even have a second date. Where most people will tell you to look at the positive (and that is a good thing to do) when you date, you should also stay aware of the negatives.

Take off the rose colored glasses. Dating, while fun, is a serious game played on a very big field. You have online access as well as regular dates.. Dating is a different kind of hunt and you need to know what your prey really looks like, their habits and their peculiarities. Dating is a unique hunt because you don’t kill your prey; you take it home to live with you. It is best if you do indeed like your target.

Know yourself and what you want – that is the first and maybe most important tool for the truly successful daters. The competition is not about quantity. The prize of dating is in finding the one with whom you’ll live happily ever after.

True Love takes time to grow dont give your heart away freely..

Dating- Where Should I Take Her On Thursday?

Thursday, September 28, 2006
Like every week, Thursday arrives and you are now wondering where could be a great place for a light conversation (light as a 1-2 hour conversation) with your new or recurrent date.

Well surprise for you could be that a place called “Starbucks” is both cheap and even great for developing your confidence. Before you think I am “nuts” by saying that “Starbucks” café is cheap, I am seeing it in the other way… with just 2 big coffees you are on your way for a $9.00 date. Sure, you could spend nothing and arrive with a magazine or a book, but the point here is, establishing a conversation with your date.

Among the 10 hot bargain places I wrote to establish immediate conversations in my upcoming soon-to-be-launch datingwomansecrets.com book, is “Starbucks”.

You see, when you go to Starbucks- the following are many of the mind triggers my past dates have left me as far as feedback goes, and even regular people around the web:

· I go to Starbucks because of the experience, NOT because of the coffee. When you usually hear this, it is because people remind themselves of: how good life could be or it actually is. Just ask yourself: Who are the kinds of people that go to Starbucks? I’m sure you will say: “Intelligent, self-confident and people of a good taste”.

Well, good taste- maybe, because I always though twice of buying a $4.00 coffee out of it when you can get it for $0.35 almost anywhere, however, when I saw the big picture and went to Starbucks for the first time and saw how comfortable the regular coffee shop’s usually were, with all the modern European stylish seats they carry here at Puerto Rico in must of the shop’s, I was hooked.

It is a good place- I honestly love it. You can practically know who a person is when you go in a 1-1 conversation when you exchange communications for 1-2 hours for sure. With Starbucks, you just don’t have any more options when you are with a date- it is you and your date, nothing else!

And that my friend I have to say is: “Priceless”. No laptop (hopefully not with your date), no TV to entertain yourself with the useless junk you and I see 95% of the time when we turn on the TV everyday and those mobile phones are disconnected (I know yours as a man, is disconnected-no need to demonstrate you are important by having people calling you, just turn it off as respect to your date) as I usually hate myself my mobile phones,dam distraction- but of importance.

So go have fun, go to “Starbucks”, get $10 out of the ATM and enjoy a one-on-one coffee. Maybe then after, who really knows? You might found yourself with your part-time sex partner, companion, fiancé or other.Being realistic here as always, just have fun and await my next exciting lesson.

How To Create An Eye-Catching Profile

Among the sea of online daters, it is essential that you use some strategy to make your profile unique and eye catching. Imagine that there are thousands of young men and women competing for the same attention with the same amount of space. What does each need to do in order to stand out? What can you do within those parameters in order to stand out?

When it comes to standing out on the Internet, there are a host of strategies and gimmicks that you can employ. From flashing Java script to sounds, you can truly make your profile one that is not easy to pass over. However, some strategies may not be in your best interest to employ. In reality, while you can use animation to make your profile stand out, do you really want visitors to think you are that desperate for attention?

On the contrary, there are more resourceful and contained strategies that can help visitors to still maintain respect and intrigue in your profile. Flashing lights and sounds are most definitely not included in this category. Therefore, it is wise to take a moment to review these tips for creating online profiles prior to clicking “save.”

1. Browse your competitors. While you may not view other profiles as competition, perhaps you should. Take a moment to look around at other sites for people that are similar to you. Find out which sites jump out in your view. What do you like about some of these profiles? What do you dislike? Make a list (either mental or on paper) of the elements that you would like to include in your own profile.

2. Use photos. Most people who search online dating sites say that they would not pursue a relationship with someone who does not post photos of him or herself online. Therefore, it is important that you post at least one photo on your profile. This photo can be something that makes people laugh or it can be a glamorous photo of you. It’s best to include several photos so that you can represent multiple sides of your personality easily and simply.

3. Be frank. No – you don’t have to change your name! But be frank as in honest and forthright. Tell as much information about yourself as you are comfortable telling, such as your employment, your hobbies and what you are looking for from an online dating site. Avoid using your full name or any information that would direct someone directly to you, such as a phone number or address. Email addresses are sometimes fine, but they are usually regulated by the online dating site.

While it may seem like there are magic formulas to making your profile stand out from others, the truth is – it’s all in your presentation. Someone who is looking for similar things will enjoy reading your profile and that is the best method of helping yourself stand out there that there is. Avoid flashy animation or cutsie lines. Instead, most people would agree that honesty and openness will help people to immediately feel comfortable and confident pursuing the next step with you.

Russian Singles Dating and looking for single men or women

Russian Jewish Dating
Dating and find a perfect match is really hard as it is, much less trying to narrow down to just Jewish; and even more challenging to find someone who is Russian Jew. I come from Russian Jewish background, and I know what it is like.
The Russian Jewish community is really big, but at the same time everyone really knows each other, weather they grew up together, went to school, or lived in the same neighborhood.Russian Jews mostly reside in West Hollywood, and have everything there, like their groceries stores, doctors and temples.Growing up, we all knew each other so well, we hung out in the same places, going to the same clubs, dating the same Russian Jewish people.We actually end up calling dating among Russian Jews a “recycling”! Because everyone ended up going out with someone they new, and the then moving to someone else who hung out in your crowd.The cycle still keeps going on; you may find yourself in the company of people that you either went out with, or dated; and now that person seating across from you, either with a girlfriend or wife, or boyfriend or a husband. So, we all tried to date within our own people, for the obvious reason, to have someone from your former country, and to have some continuity in your relationship. However, the “pool” of Russian single Jews had drastically shrunken, and a lot of single Russian Jews in their thirties, still single and still looking. As, though if you did not make it earlier in life, you lost it. Ironic hah?
Of course our parent’s desire for us to have a relationship and date nice Jewish boys and girls; bur unfortunately it’s not always successful. I find, that the only available guys are those who never really made it in their twenties and thirties; the kind that nobody really dates; so you see those guys typically, in Russian Jewish restaurants and other places, and they look so much older, some even have grey heir already, and they still trying to attract the girls. I also find that some Russian Jewish girls are single because they either divorced now, or just spent too much time looking, and may be looking for something that doesn’t exist. Really…
So, at this point, most of single Russian Jews, moved to the “American Market” so to speak. As the internet progressed, and the online dating service became so popular, we moved further more to explore the possibilities.Joining the Jewish dating online service, allowed us to find someone who possibly shares your heritage, and have similar eastern European background. An I think it is really great!The internet dating, open a lot of doors for Russian Jews to date outside of their community.
I also think that our eastern European Jewish, and American Jewish men can really appreciate the quality of life they may find with Russian Jewish women, considering our bring up and traditions.You may find a really beautiful Russian Jewish girl, who is extremely intelligent, real and sincere, loyal and motherly, who is a great cook in the kitchen and a dynamite in bed.And at the same time, the Jewish women find her Jewish prince who will appreciate and praise her forever..
So, most of us Russian Jewish singles end up dating “other” Jewish people, bringing an outside culture in, and ultimately end up married and having kinds; creating a new generations of Russian Jewish population.

Online Dating: To Your Success, Safely

Wednesday, September 27, 2006
Many parts of our lives have changed due to technology, and dating is one of the most notable changes. Many thousands of people have turned to online dating to find true love, and it's not difficult to see why. The online dating scene can be convenient, low pressure and most of all fun! With your computer and a dating website to guide you, you can find great success in the world of online relationships.

Although looking for love online may appear to be simple, don't be fooled. It isn't always easy to find what you're looking for on the internet. If you are wondering how this difficult-sounding process can be made easier and produce a better outcome, there are some ways to improve your online dating experiences.

First, you need to remember to be yourself. If you are looking for someone to be genuine with you, you need to be genuine as well. Remember this when writing an online profile. It would also be a good idea to set up profiles on several dating sites. It will help you to find and connect with more people, allowing you to have a better chance at success in love. These sites are designed to help you find the right person for you, allowing you to search for other singles and match them with you according to similarities and other criteria. This is the best, easiest, and most effective way to find romance on the internet.

There are also some things to think about when writing a profile. First, it is helpful to post a picture of yourself. No matter what you look like, potential dates will want to see you when looking over your profile. When you are writing the actual profile, remember that it is the way that people will first be getting to know you. Make sure you create an interesting and honest description of yourself. You should include things such as an introduction, your hobbies and interests, your values and morals, and other items you feel are important. Try to avoid writing with a negative attitude towards yourself. Be positive and, above all else, confident.

If you have decided you want something of a more personal relationship with someone you've met and they give you a contact number - try ringing it. If you can never get hold of them be very wary, even if they give you a seemingly reasonable excuse. If you have to page or text them so that they ring you back this is a real warning sign when considering your online dating safety. Presumably they have something to hide.

If you seem to be the only half of the relationship that is making the effort to progress your relationship to the next step, you should step back and take a good look at exactly what they are saying.

Asking for financial help or other kinds of help should be a sure fire online dating safety warning sign no matter how polite, sweet and charming they are. An online relationship has in no way progressed to the level where they should be asking you for money.

While it's true that you should take before you give out your personal details once you decide that's the level you want to move to, it should be a two-sided thing. If the person you are talking to is entirely unwilling to give out personal details and you're sure that you've had long enough to get to know each other then their lack of commitment in wanting to meet you might indicate a secret.

Insecurity and a need to get married are more common than you might think in both men and women and if either of these factors crop up on a regular basis then you need to decide whether this is something you can cope with and whether you can stand back it make the relationship go slower. If not, then you are being pressurised into moving your relationship further forward than you want to.

One final online dating safety warning sign is to avoid embarrassment and upset. Online dating sites are sometimes frequented by people looking for something more than a quick chat, and might be looking for someone to indulge in their requirements with them. Make sure right from the start that this isn't the case.

Have You Attended A Speed Dating Party

If you’ve done the bar and club scene, and tried online dating with no results then attending a speed dating party could give your love life the jump start it needs. Does a night out to a classy venue with the opportunity to have up to twenty dates sound appealing?

You will find speed dating events being held in major cities all over America and Canada. The popularity has now grown so much speed dating has now crossed the Atlantic, and established itself in the United Kingdom. These events are not just a group of singles meeting at the same Bar or club. They are professionally run events by companies that know how to match singles together. You’re welcomed as soon as you walk through the door usually with a complimentary drink that immediately sets the tone for the evening. You will be given a score card as well upon arrival so you can mark off the singles you would like to meet again.

Before going to the party it’s a good idea to have your questions ready in your mind. Speed dating is very quick-fire as you want to know as much as possible after your three minutes is up.

Once everyone is at the speed dating party it will begin with everyone paired off at the tables. Depending on which event organisers you go with the dates will last anything from three minutes to eight minutes. Some singles will prefer the shorter dates so they don’t spend too long dating someone they wouldn’t want to see again. Once the first date is over it’s the gentlemen that get up and move along one table. This is then the pattern until everyone ends up where they started.

Once everyone has marked off their scorecards they are then handed in. The organisers then put all the information onto their web site so you can login to your account the next day and see who wants to see you again. They will only let you know about the singles that you wanted to see again as well. If you have more than one match you will then have to decide which single you would rather see again.

Speed dating isn’t for the shy type or those can’t handle situations under pressure. You don’t want to be lost for words as you’re being asked questions. You need to be confident, and have answers come in to your mind very quickly.

If you’re the type of single who enjoys meeting people, and conversation then this is definitely for you. It’s a fun night out with the added bonus of starting a relationship. Meet some eligible singles, and have a few drinks. What more could you ask for?

One of the most important things to question is someone’s honesty. When you’re online dating this will start when you are looking at their profile. It’s not always about what they have put on their profile, it can be what is missing from their profile that puts up red flags.

The first thing that will attract you to another gay single is their photo. If you come across a profile where the single hasn’t uploaded their photo you have to ask, why? With the technology available today there is no reason why any single should not have their photo online. If anyone is serious about finding a gay partner they will have their photo on their profile for everyone to see. If there are any reasons why someone hasn’t got their photo online they’re probably not good ones. If it comes down to the quality of the photo then one with poor quality is better than none at all. At the end of the day they’re selling themselves, and if they can’t do that very well then they won’t get any buyers.

The description of themselves will give you a few pointers into the gay single’s honesty and openness. Some singles will find filling out their details a long and boring process, or others will just have nothing they want to tell you. Either way if someone is genuinely looking for a gay relationship online they will spend as much time as it takes filling in their profile. When it means finding someone you could be spending the rest of your life with, thirty minutes completing an online dating profile is not long at all. This is where you will get to see the parts of a persons character that you can’t see in a photo. And this is also where you find out another gay singles true willingness to find a partner online.

With this advice you’re well armed for testing someone’s honesty. You can still do a little investigating yourself with a few questions about anything mentioned in their profile. If you find yourself needing to do too much investigating then that single is probably not the one for you.

There is this hideous little four letter word in the dating game that will instantly KILL any attraction a woman might have felt toward you. Do you kn

Children – The issue of children can be an extremely divisive one in relationship terms; in an age where we no longer have the imperative to reproduce frantically in order to ensure the survival of the species, many people take the decision not to have children for one reason or another; others may feel that procreating is necessary in order to make their lives complete. It is easy to see how this could translate into a serious relationship mishap, a union between a person with strong instincts towards parenthood and another whose mind is made up to remain childless is unlikely to be successful in the long term. This is particularly an issue if you already have children from a previous relationship; not to say that you are doomed to single parenthood by this, but it is a fairly non-negotiable state of affairs. If your potential partner adamantly does not want children and you already have them (unless, of course, they've grown up and left home), you may find this difficult to surmount.

Lying – A good, solid relationship is built on a firm foundation of trust. Everyone wants their partner to be honest with them (although definitions and standards of honesty may vary), and most importantly needs to be able to put their trust in someone. If you've arranged a first date via an online dating agency or personal ad and, when you turn up to the venue you're ten years younger or twenty stone heavier than you stated in your ad or than your picture showed, then you are probably not on to a good thing. Sure, your date might be able to get over the difference of expectations, but this type of behaviour does not bode well for future of your relationship

Religion – Again, like the issue of children, being religious does not preclude being successful in dating, but it is another thing that can be key to the success or failure of a relationship. The first major stumbling block is that many religions require members to only marry within their own religious group, although depending on your level of orthodoxy it may be possible to overcome this and many, many couples of mixed religion have maintained highly successful relationships. Many people, however, are actively anti-religious, believing that religious teachings are a crutch for the mentally or spiritually weak, and that organised religion is responsible for a large portion of the World's ills. A person with such beliefs is unlikely to get on particularly well with a person of devout faith. Another issue could be that a non-religious (as opposed to anti-religious) person may well be nervous about getting involved with someone strongly devout for fear of being preached to or looked on as a subject for conversion.

Of course, characterising these things as insurmountable obstacles is a vast generalisation, as every incurable romantic knows, true love conquers all and, in any case, couples who are serious about making a relationship work should be prepared to compromise in some things from both sides. Bearing these things in mind however, and being upfront and honest from the start about what is and isn't subject to compromise can only be a good thing in the context of a burgeoning relationship.

Dating Advice From David Deangelo – What is the “Ewww Effect?”

There is this hideous little four letter word in the dating game that will instantly KILL any attraction a woman might have felt toward you. Do you know the word? I bet you do. It is “Ewww!” The “Ewww Effect”, as David Deangelo has so eloquently named it, is a total attraction killer, and to be avoided at all costs by every man out there, whether he is just circling the waters for a date, or has honed in on a target and is ready to move in for the kill!

But wait! Before you go any further, let me relay a story to you that David Deangelo tells in one of his newsletters (cited at end of article), because this is something that you have GOT TO KNOW before you go any further, today – this minute! So take 5 and read on… (And if this sounds familiar, don’t worry, I have not named you!)

“Once upon a time, there was a man who was very attracted to a particular woman. At first, she was just another attractive woman... but the more he got to know her, the more he began to feel attracted to her... and the more time he spent with her, the more that attraction grew into a deep emotional attachment and affection for her.

But there was one problem. As his emotional attachment grew stronger and
stronger, he also grew more and more insecure. Why? Because he couldn't tell whether or not she felt the same way towards him. Sometimes she would say things like "You are
so important to me" and "I'm glad that you're in my life"... but nothing ever progressed past the "friendship" stage. There was an occasional hug, an occasional kiss on the cheek from her... and once she even held his hand for a long time while he talked about an emotional issue.

But something was wrong with the picture. She just wasn't acting like a woman
that was "falling in love". She was acting like a friend. The insecurity that he felt became a spiral that amplified itself... and the more insecure he became, the more afraid he grew of "screwing things up" by kissing her or asking her to be his girlfriend. Plus, the more insecure he became, the less time she seemed to want to spend with him.

After spending many days and nights obsessing over this girl, the man finally arrived at the conclusion that if she only knew how HE FELT, that she would feel the same way. So he made a bold move. He TOLD HER how he was felt.

He confessed that he was in love, and that he would do anything to be with her.
She looked at him with compassion in her eyes and said "Thank you... I really mean that... but I don't want to mess up our friendship... you're too important to me...”

This only confused the man more. He didn't know how to take it... Did it mean that she really loved him too, but that she was afraid of something? Did it mean that she wasn't ready for a long-term relationship? Did it mean that she didn't love him, but that
she was trying to give him a hint? Did it mean that he hadn't tried hard enough? Did it mean that he needed to put everything on the line and REALLY let her know how he felt?

He finally decided that he couldn't go on like this anymore... he had to be with her. He had to make sure that she knew just how much he wanted to be with her... so he took a big step, bought her a symbolic gift, and wrote her a long, long letter... again confessing his feelings.

And then the unthinkable happened. She didn't reply. He called her three times a day for almost a week before reaching her. She made an excuse about being very busy, and said "I'll try to give you a call soon, I have to go"... and hung up...but he never got a call back. Over the following months, the man tried desperately to understand what went wrong... and what happened.”

What a nice, heartwarming story, huh? Sound familiar? I know, let me
guess, you are not that desperate. But in one way or another, we have ALL been there. One time or another, the “Ewww! effect” has got us, and we got stuck in the friend zone, and then pushed out of the friend zone even because we wanted more.

Why does that happen? It is ALL about attraction, my friend, all about ATTRACTION. As David Deangelo says, the “Ewww effect is like hammering a railroad spike into the coffin of your relationship!” Why do men keep doing the things that cause the “Ewww effect” over and over? Because they don’t GET IT!

Do you want to get it? I mean, really, do you WANT TO GET IT? (I’ll give you a hint – SHE wants you to get it, that’s for sure!)

The thing that most women know but most men don’t is that there are certain traits that women are looking for in a guy. The surprising thing is that those traits don’t have anything to do with whether or not you look like Brad Pitt or drive a Viper. Its all about the attraction and David Deangelo says it best when he says that “Attraction Isn’t a Choice!” There are things a guy can do to up his attraction level to women by a HUGE amount, and David D tells you exactly what those steps are one by one.

Try this on for size – “if you think about it from HER perspective, you'll realize that the moment you do something to "confess", you have created a TURNING POINT in the relationship. Up until that point, you were harmless. I mean, women always know how men feel. She already knew you wanted her. She knew it from the beginning.

But now that you've started pursuing her and talking about how you feel, you've created a NEGATIVE TENSION that is VERY uncomfortable. You've triggered an emotion that is repulsive to women. And it does repel them. You can't "make a woman like you" or "change how she feels about you" by doing nice things for her...Doing "nice" things for a woman who isn't attracted to you HURTS you. It backfires. Worse, it creates the "Instant Ewww" feeling that makes it so she'll NEVER like you.

Men make this mistake over and over again in life because they're doing what MAKES SENSE to them. They're doing it because they don't have an understanding of ATTRACTION. I mean, if you have a friend, and you like them, and you want to make them like you more...and you do some nice things for them, they will probably like you more.

On the other hand...if you have a woman that you "like" in a romantic way and she doesn't "feel it" for you, and you do something nice for her because you want HER to like you more, it will BACKFIRE... and she will not only NOT like you more, she will most likely distance herself from you. Guys think that they need to communicate when they like a woman... as if that's part of the necessary process of getting a girl.

In their minds, it goes like this:

Like her -> Tell her you like her -> She likes you

Well remember... if you follow this pattern yourself with women who aren't ATTRACTED to you, then it's going to BACKFIRE. If she's not into you, then it goes like THIS:

She thinks of you as a friend -> You tell her you like her -> She gets the "Instant Ewwws" and never wants to be around you again...

THE ANSWER

There are really TWO answers to this problem. The first answer is what to do if you're in a situation where you like a particular girl, but you don't know if she likes you back.

DON'T GET HEAVY WITH HER.

Don't buy her a big gift and write a love letter...Don't send her ten dozen roses to her work with a note that says, "From your secret admirer". Don't call her three times a day.

And DON'T CONFESS YOUR LOVE for her.

If you want to know how she feels about you, KISS HER (and use "The Kiss Test" that you can learn on David D’s website or in his e-book). As a rule of thumb, don't get heavier than HER. Use SIGNALS from her to find out how she feels...and if you don't know how to read and create those signals, then LEARN.


Asking a woman if she's interested in you in a romantic way or if you are "her type", will actually DESTROY the chances that she'll like you. Really.

The SECOND answer is: Don't get into this particular situation in the FIRST PLACE. Avoid it entirely. And how does one do that?

One does that by creating ATTRACTION from the beginning.

One does that by understanding the dynamics of how and why women have the physical and emotional response of ATTRACTION triggered. One does that by knowing what you're doing FROM THE BEGINNING.” And THAT, my friend, is something that cannot be taught in the short span of one article on dating advice.

I have more of David Deangelo’s free newsletters here, and there is a ton more advice, dating tips and absolute “gotta haves” here. David D tells you how to basically hook a woman like a trout on a fly – and then you can keep her or toss her back at YOUR discretion!

The Rules Of Dating

Monday, September 25, 2006
In todays world of fast-paced everything, online dating, and all the other advancements that have occurred the rules of dating have certainly changed. No matter if you're a women or a man the rules of dating are much different then they were even ten years ago. In fact things have really become more complicated, the normalities of dating a few years ago when the man paid for the date and called a few days later, while the women waited for the call to be pursued are over. Of course they had many social flaws as well, it was not fair for the men who felt shy, or the women who wanted to be aggressive and make the first move. How ever it sure did make things easier to understand. The rules were clear, who was to take control and who would wait. No matter who has given you dating advice, and what your history is the rules of dating have changed. It's become more complicated then it used to be.

There are different services for dating you can use to help make things clearer for you. Speed dating is a fast growing new trend, and makes everything easy. The only thing you are needed to do is have a several minute conversation with several women. The purpose is to try to find one of these women whom have similar likes and dislikes to you, and from there things can sort them selves out. It is an easier way to meet someone and learn a little bit about them up front. Of course this is no guarantee that the rules of dating will be drawn on the wall for you, how ever it can make things a bit easier.

The fact that there are authors for newspapers and publishing companies who make their living from trying to help people understand dating is a good indication that most people feel great anxiety from dating. There are no more social normalities that are going to make the rules of dating easier to discover or understand. The only for sure thing is that both men and women get anxious over worrying about the right thing to do on that first date. Finding the secret guide to dating procedure just isn't realistic, everyone is different therefore each pairing will be even more different. The key is to act yourself, and be comfortable. Making a mistake isn't as big a deal as you might think, unless you make it a big deal. So moral of the story, you don't need that firm grasp on the rules of dating to be successful you just need to relax, and be yourself.

Useful Dating Lessons From The Unsuccessful Marriages

A recent study is revealing the hard facts that one needs to know, in order to unlock the secrets of building a lasting love relationship. This study revealed that marriage is very predictable. It also developed a decision-making tool that anyone can use to choose their true lover (from the open range of millions of singles), and show you how-to keep her/him successfully.

This study interviewed over 1,000 experienced adults ranging between the ages of 26 and 80 years old. Among these interviewed adults were the successfully married, the unsuccessfully married, the adult singles who had quit looking for a lover, those who were still trying to find their mates, and a few who had completely changed their sexual behaviors to escape the deep pain that hit hard into their soul. This study revealed all the information that has been missing, and I will progressively be sharing this incredible wealth of know-how in the articles on your web page.

Let me tell you some of what I found. Out of more than 1,000 adults interviewed, 280 adults had failed in marriage. They had a lot of stories and experiences, and I will only share a few of the hard learned lessons they had in common. Note that: the aim of sharing this information here is to empower you to understand how they failed, why they failed, and how you can use their experiences to enable you to make winning decisions to brighten your future. Please, study these findings:

1. As at the time of tying the knot, each of those 280 adults believed that their marriage was going to last forever, but that did not happen! They all learned this hard lesson; that being good and wanting to be successfully married is not enough on its own, because the success of your marriage truly depends on your husband or your wife. They proved that you cannot sustain a love relationship single handedly; it takes two to succeed. And therefore, it is important that you choose a lover who is right for you, and also finds you right to them; and I will share with you how to do this in the next articles.

2. They all rushed to fall in love, and failed to see the red flags which were right in their faces from the time they started dating. They confessed that they were emotionally attached, and had hoped they would be able to change their former fiancée(s) habits after committing to them. They learned this hard lesson, that you cannot successfully change another person if that person is not willing to change on their own. They also learned that it is not smart to force a mismatch, because it always leads to domestic violence and a future breakup.

3. They all regretted not knowing what they should have known in time, to make the right marital decisions. They were instead consumed by the excitement of the new relationship, the sweet gifts, the new places to visit, and planning their wedding, before truly knowing or evaluating the person they were committing their love to. They learned that regardless of your feelings, it is vital to control your love emotions and target your decisions towards meeting your long term needs.

4. They all confessed that it was a costly experience; and wished someone had taught them how to guard their hearts from the wrong person. They learned that their hearts were truly the most precious possession they had. But the other sad discovery was that, many of those whose hearts had been repeatedly bruised, had lost confidence, and preferred to stay as players because they were afraid of trusting or loving anyone again.

5. They were all pained not by the divorce itself, but the fact that their divorce was preventable, had they learned how-to interpret the advance warning signs which they had seen during the pre-wedlock period. They learned that making choices unthinkingly; and then hoping for the best, is being reckless with life. You have to know what you are doing every step of the way in choosing the right spouse. You also have to know how-to keep her/him successfully.

Now, here is the good news. Just like you learned how to drive, and so you do not drive the wrong way after seeing the “do-not-enter” signs on the road, you can also learn how-to choose and keep your true lifetime lover successfully. There is no excuse for staying ignorant of these best loving skills, which you need to enable you to make smart decisions in building a lasting love relationship. It has all been documented, to protect your heart from future pain; and to show you how-to avoid these common and painful marital mistakes. You do not need to learn these lessons the hard way. It’s time to stop cutting corners, and making wrong assumptions. You can learn how-to foresee and manage the risks in marriage. All this life-shaping knowledge is a new value-adding book titled, “10 Steps to Success in Love and Marriage, Self-help Secrets for the Smart Lover”.

In the next articles, I will share with you the best lessons I learned from those who were successfully married, happily married, beyond just the rings and living under the same roof. These articles are being written to give you the base knowledge you need, to enable you to create a successful and joyful love relationship.

The Biggest Advantage of Online Dating

All of us are looking to find someone to share the good and bed moments in our lives. But what we have to keep in mind is that our good or bed moments depends on our partners and how much we match with that person.

It is easy to talk yourself into staying with a person, because they are basically a good, decent human being. That is a start, but not always enough to hold a partnership together.

You need to realize, though, that your spouse is not going to be like you in every way. No one will ever be, thank God. But don't marry someone with whom you have a difference on one of yours or their non-compromisable issues.

Everyone has certain things that are important to them.

And ONLINE DATING can help you find the one whose priorities in life are the same with yours, the one whose differences are things that are magnetize you together, not driving you apart, your PERFECT MATCH.

By reading people's profiles closely, you can quickly weed out people whose interests, age, values, religion or whatever else doesn�t appeal to you. Ditto when posting your own profile: describing yourself honestly and being clear about your values and interests makes it more likely that someone compatible will write to you.

There's no question that everyone on the online dating sites is looking to meet someone and there are thousands of singles on this stage of online dating. You have a lot of possibilities to choose, to choose the one which is right for you.

Here you can meet people you wouldn't otherwise meet because your social and/or business circles don't intersect, or because you don't frequent the same places.

Why to waste every day of your life compromising or trying to change a person?

Online dating is one of those things that make me happy that I live in these days, not with years ago when people hadn�t any choices but compromising.
