How to prepare for love and compatability:

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

You may have heard before that love is not something you can prepare for and that it always comes when you least expect it. There is some truth to that. Love is not something you can look for and find just because you will it, it comes whether you want it to or not whenever life decides to put it in your life. But when all of a sudden you do start feeling the love bug coming your way it wouldn’t hurt to know a few things you can expect. And there are a few things you can do to improve your odds of letting love, or your future mate, find you. Here are a few of those things, just briefly as I’m sure they won’t be hard to understand, and I’m sure you will have heard some before.

*First off make sure you know what you’re looking for. This way when you start to get excited, you don’t waste time chasing something that isn’t there. Also if you know what you’re looking for, you can learn what questions to ask on a date, how to talk about yourself and what kind of reactions or responses you would prefer to see.

*Consider your image. If you’re happy with it, then perfect. But if you have been unsatisfied with the way you look for a while now, it’s time to change. The fact is that it doesn’t really matter what you look like, but making yourself feel better about how you look does matter. We could be talking about the color of your hair, your weight or your clothing wardrobe. It’s all under your control, and the important thing is that it represents who you are.

*Cultivate your passions. Here there are two things I mean. First, if you have a hobby that you’ve never spent enough time on, now’s the time to get to it as a way to invest in your own happiness. While you do so, you may also be meeting new people, and becoming more of a positive person with the right attitude. All of which are magnets for love. Second, cultivate an empathetic passion for something higher than yourself. If you start caring about something whether it’s the planet, the orphans, or animals, you will find your life more meaningful and fulfilling. Other people will also start seeing you as a more caring person capable of loving someone other than yourself.

*Don’t be afraid of rejection. You will increase your chances of finding love if you continually take some risks. Next time that stranger comes your way and asks you out ignore the doubt inside you and take a chance by agreeing to go on a date. You really have to realize that you have nothing to lose. If it doesn’t work out, at least you can say you went out on a date, at least you have more experiences to learn from. As long as you’re secure in who you are, there really is nothing that can change from having a couple of hours with a person who wasn’t your future mate.

And like always don’t miss out on dating even when it doesn’t feel perfect. If you give people a chance sometimes they could surprise you. Have fun.

What a man wants from a girlfriend in a relationship

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Dating Great MenHow many of you single women find men to be a complete mystery? You’re not alone! Some people seem to be so in tune to what other people want and need regardless of how different they are, but for the rest of us, it’s not that easy. But if it were easy to figure out what men want then it would improve our dating skills so much more, right? And even relationships would be easier.

 

Well fortunately men have opened up and revealed some secrets. First of all, if you want to follow the stereotypes and believe that all men want is a nice body, then that’s fine, but you will have trouble finding a lasting relationship that way. When men really consider what they want in a women who they want to be with for a long time, things get more complex, and what we find is that men really aren’t as shallow as we make them out to be.

 

So here are a few tips about what men want to see in you to commit for the long haul:

 

·         Give him some room. You’ll have to pay attention to this from the beginning to determine just how much space your man wants, because it varies. But if your cool with him wanting to hang out with his buddies instead of you every once in a while, you’ll become a goddess to him, and it’ll show your trust in him.

·         Give him full support. Men may be tough, but when they’re alone with you they want to be taken care of and emotional support becomes important to them. Be supportive of what he wants in life, and encourage him to do things that make him happy.

·         Learn each role. Men are sometimes competitive about their women, and for him to be able to win, one thing to keep in mind is to know how to dress, and behave in different roles. These may be that of mother, hostess, or the sexy woman hanging on his arm at that party.

·         He wants romance. Believe it or not, men do care about having some romance in their lives. But pay attention, romance for him may be a little different than it would be for you. Romance for a man might be realized through appreciation of what he does for you, and in treating him equally good.

 

So remember, it may take some time to figure out just what you need to give your man, but it’s not a complete mystery. Just stay in tune to him, and don’t lose that positive attitude while you do it. Here’s another secret, men are attracted to women who are positive!

Making a Road Map for Your Dating Life:

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Do you ever make out to-do lists?  Are they on little yellow sticky notes, which litter your desk at work, or your bedroom mirror? Do you have a to-do list for your dating life?  Have you taken the time to create a dating to-do list? No; well, don’t worry, because here at Nouveau Dating, we are going to assist you in the simple process. There aren’t too many steps; just a lot of soul searching that will need to be done.

 

Location. Location. Location. Find out where to find your perfect match: www.nouveaudating.com/action-plan.

            First, and foremost, you must grab some pieces of spare paper to start writing down all of the qualities your ideal match should have. Does your ideal match have to be a great cook? Or are they good with gardening? Is their favorite TV drama the same as yours? The little quirks that make a relationship strong and stable go beyond the materialistic notions that most of us think of right off the bat. By really examining what type of person you want, you will notice these qualities in the person you are dating.  If you are currently dating someone, but the relationship has hit a plateau, but you don’t know why; refer to your dating to-do list.  Do they meet your desired qualities? Try to cover every little detail you can think of, so you are absolutely sure of what you want out of a partner. 

            Second, do that list on yourself now.  I know it sounds utterly silly, and slightly on the narcissistic side, but I ensure you it is immensely important.  Making creating a list of your qualities, both the good and the bad, you can see what others’ see in you.  In order to find your ideal match, you have to open to yourself. Think of it as a workshop to see what your ideal match might think of you. I recommend you do this after your ideal person to-do list, but it might be really eye-opening if you do yourself first. 

            Third step is a to-do list of places to meet your ideal match.  Is it in the park, while walking the dog?  Is it the health club? Dancing on the dance floor of the local country bar? Hiking up a mountain? Spending time with your friends at your favorite pub?  There are thousands of places to meet people, but where is your ideal person? By selecting a board range of places to go to, you will open the doors to new possibilities.  Those experiences might be good or bad, but they are necessary for your growth. No matter how small that role may be, every single person will leave a mark.  We would be fools not to treat each experience as a learning curve in a continuous quest for self-improvement.

            After you have created your three to-do lists for your dating life, let’s now talk about the steps you might want to take in order to make your lists worthwhile. There are under ten, so it could be a small bullet list for the to-do lists, if you like. They go as follows:

            1.) Know what you know—that first list will help you

            2.) Concentrate on how much you want it—-that third list defines this

            3.) Explore all options while finding a partner—a combination of all three lists

            4.) Let your friends and network connections help—the third list

            5.) Attend events which cater to singles—third list, again

            6.) Find a wing person— this would be a reaction to your third list

            7.) Conquer dating world with an open mind—third list connection

            8.) Learn from your past dating mistakes—

perhaps some the qualities that aren’t on your ideal match to-do list

            9.) Have fun with it (dating, that is) — that will help you in dating, in general

            10.) Think positive—that will help you in dating, in general, again

            You have created your three lists of to-dos, and then followed some steps to make a successful attempt into the world of dating….but then what? Refining your action and mental state is a constant process that a successful dater will do. A few little things that will help you refine your action plan would be reward yourself; record your progress; know your weak points; create positive energy and enhance your Self-Belief; define your goals; stop wasting time.  Keeping yourself motivated to find your ideal match, is the main purpose of refining your action plan.  If a quality you have as a “must have” becomes a weakness in a person, then rethink that quality.  All of this can be learned from my course The Action Plan: Make the Right Road Map for Success.
