How to Get a Man’s Attention

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Dating Great MenHow can you get an attractive man’s attention?  Chances are, if this guy is good looking and successful with women he’s used to being looked at and “scouted.”  You may have to work a little harder to capture his attention and keep him interested.  That doesn’t mean you have to go all Rosie O’Donnell on him and badger him into talking to you.  It does however, require a strategy. 

 

Your first move in attracting a man’s attention should be to have a good “seat in the house.”  This should be a place where you can relax and let a conversation unfold naturally.  This is a good strategic move that lets you better position yourself, so that you have full view of the man you’re interested in, and likewise, so that he can see you.  This is like a scene in great Hollywood romance.  You’re setting up the scene for something beautiful to happen.  Don’t ruin it by acting like a stalker.  Don’t stare too intensely, or with any sort of grimace or blank look. 

 

Instead, your body language should be very soft and graceful.  You should move confidently, slowly, and methodically.  You can speed up the pace you move at, but always do it gracefully.  You have to allow time for men to notice you, to see that you are alive, healthy and generally happy.

 

At this point it might be a good idea to start using feminine, positive body language.  You could run your fingers through your hair, smooth the hem of your skirt or simply tussle around with things in your purse.  Men are naturally attracted to women who show movement.

 

You might even say that because men are instinctive hunters, they wait to see woman full of grace and femininity before they “pounce.”  Men always want to “keep their eyes on the prize”, that is a beautiful woman to “protect”.  You can attract this attention by accentuating your own graceful features!

How to Attract the Man You Want

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Dark tall handsomeHave you ever wished that you could attract, not just any man, but the kind of man you want?  Maybe you have even had fantasies of attracting a Johnny Depp or Vin Diesel-caliber guy, someone who looks as good as you, someone that you deserve.  How can you do this?  It’s not about destiny or the “it” factor.  You are capable of attracting any man you want.  It’s all a matter of using the right body language.

Body language is one of the most important factors in dating, and unlike ordinary conversation, you can use it practically anywhere.  You can use strategic body language at a concert, at a dinner, party, at a coffee shop or even a grocery store.  What?  At a grocery store of all places?  Surely not!  Yes I am serious, and you can call me Shirley.  (Wink, wink)  Seriously, you don’t have to make a spectacle of yourself just because you want to show a little friendly body language.  You can just as easily pick up groceries as you can show some interest to a person that you like. 

 

In fact, it’s better if you do than if you don’t.  The fact of the matter is that most men are scared to death of approaching a beautiful woman because he is afraid of rejection.  There are a few dynamite playboys out there who laugh in the face of rejection, but on the inside, they’re hurting.  Most cute guys you meet will be hesitant, perhaps even a little bit shy, and all the more so when they approach you in an “ordinary environment.”

 

It’s up to you to encourage their efforts by showing friendly body language.  You have to make it a point to show you are on the lookout.  Never underestimate how much attention men are paying to a woman’s body!  Just the slightest bit of hair play, eye contact or gesturing can send definite signals to even the most oblivious gentleman.

Creating an Online Dating Profile

Friday, April 17th, 2009

How to talk about yourself on a date-1To join an online dating service, you need to create a member profile which helps you to describe yourself as to who you are, what you are and what are you looking for? Although you may answer every question as you wish to but before that I would like you to know that there would be many profiles which would have common content. Do you wish to be one of those who share same content on their profile or you want to look different? But of course, you would want to stand out of the crowd. To be different from others in creating an eye catching dating profile you should take care of few things which I am going to mention. Here you go…

The first thing which I would like to mention is take you time building a dating profile. You have to present yourself to the best possibility for a match so be patient and take time building your profile.

Create a unique headline specifying your most passionate thing and it will certainly help you out finding someone sharing the same thing and may be you turn out more compatible with that person.

Look Different: A Profile allows you to demonstrate yourself in front of the world, so you need to be very careful about your answers to some common questions. The idea is to read about 10 to 15 profiles and look for what they all have in common and now you know where to make a difference to look different.

Adding a Photo: Building a relation may not entirely depend on the photo but yes, a photo plays a major role in it. Add a latest photo which is quiet clear and gives a professional look. But that doesn’t mean that you have to take a headshot. You can add any of your photos doing anything you love to, but please do check out for no common results again.

Easy Read Profile: You might be into online dating from a long time back, able to understand the terms like ‘SWF ISO SM’ (Single White Female In Search Of Single Male), but anyone who goes through your profile may not necessarily be knowing these terms, specially the new users, so avoid using such terms in your profile making it easy to read for all. Mostly people do not stay on a profile for long and if you use such terms, they may slip off a little earlier than normal.

Be Honest about yourself: This is a point which is ought to be remembered while writing about yourself. You should know one thing, sooner or later a person will come to know about you, so there’s no point lying at this point. Be what you are, write the truth, no matters if you are divorced, you have kids etc. Just be what you are and no need to hide. When a relation develops, there’s a bonding because of the trust and when small things come up later on the other person starts loosing the trust in you and your relation may end up nowhere, so it’s always better to say the truth no matters how hard it can be.

Keep Your Profile Simple: You are provided with a space to tell about yourself but that doesn’t mean that you have to write a full story mentioning all about you let the people imagine you from your profile. Create your profile in such a way that a person could read it in a minute or two or it can become a bit boring for some.

Spelling and Grammar: Always check your spelling and grammar twice before you post a profile. This is a common mistake made by most of the people. The spelling and grammar mistakes in your profile put up a question about your smartness. Smart people do not make such mistakes. You can also make someone read your profile before you post it, just to ensure about the grammatical errors.

Don’t Write All About you: No questions, this profile is to mention about you and who else?? I just want to convey that, mention you finer points in such a way that your profile doesn’t seems like a boasting thing, just try and be humble and remember to leave a space to mention about the kind of person you are looking for.

Mentioning About The Partner: Always mention specifically what you want your ideal partner to be like, mention a few respectful and realistic lines describing your partner which will in return help you find a compatible partner easily.

Look Alive: No one will ever want to be in relation with the person who is dull, so be passionate about your life, your hobbies. Look full of life!!

Make Changes: You can make changes to your profile anytime you want to, so it’s not necessary to worry about the perfection in the very first time, but you can and you should make the desired changes after a short span of time.

Joining an Online Dating Website: Take Care Tips

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Dating service scam-1Online Dating is an industry which is growing at an incredible rate in the world of today. This industry consists of millions of dating profiles and the rate of addition of new profiles is remarkably around as many as a minimum of a many thousands per day, a huge thing!! There are many websites which are offering you Dating Services, some of which may charge you a few bucks monthly or yearly etc. Whereas, there are many websites which offer you free Dating Services. You can choose either a paid service or a free service, it’s up to you. To have a successful online dating you need to choose the service carefully. Choosing a Dating Service is quiet easy, you should know about the following things which will lead you to the success: –

You should know that there are a many dating services which aren’t reliable.  It’s always a good idea to check out for reviews more than one if possible, just to be sure that the sources are unbiased. If you do not follow the idea of checking reviews properly, you may land up joining a dating service with outdated or inactive member profiles, so be careful before joining and making any payments.

Few sites use a dishonest marketing technique, they would attract your attention by offering you to create a free member profile on their website, but sooner you will me mailed a message stating that you have a private message from so & so opposite sex member, in spite of the fact that you may not have created your profile in detail or added your picture to your profile you receive a private message. Now, to read a private message you need to be a paid user and they (dating service providers) will ask you to make a payment to read the message. DO NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENT TO SUCH SITES. It’s no use. It is only a marketing technique and there is no such member profile that messaged you. Even if you try, you will find no response from that member in spite of making the payment on the same day. Not all the sites are dishonest, but a few sites use this tactic.

Now, after a good search you know a good & genuine dating service. Now you need to create a profile in that dating service. All done with choosing a dating service now?? NO. Here, I would like to advice you to check whether the dating service is offering you to create a profile by answering some pre written questions or customize your profile a bit. Now, this is important. Do not select a dating service which is offering you to create a profile on above mentioned measure; this will just add a limit to your description. Instead choose a dating service which allows you to create your profile as you want, defining no limits to how you want to display yourself in front of other member of the service.

What Do You Want From A Girlfriend?

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Attract men everywhere 1The first step to getting a great girlfriend is deciding exactly what kind of woman would be right for you. You don’t want to settle for a woman who isn’t someone you like being around for more than just a little while. The point of getting a girlfriend is to have someone to have more fun with. If you get into a relationship and end up miserable, you’re doing something wrong. So first, decide exactly what you want. That’s the only way you’ll stand a chance at getting it. How do you want to date? Do you want fun, casual, short-term relationships with several women at once? Would you rather have one girlfriend who you really have fun with and respect? Do you want to date a few women casually at first and see if you’d like to get more serious later? Who do you want to date? A friendly, down-to-earth girl-next-door? Someone outgoing and adventurous? An elegant and sophisticated woman? A quiet and reserved type who saves most of her attention for you? Or again, several different women so that you can see who you enjoy being around the most? What are you going to do together? Do you want someone to go with to all the local clubs? Would you rather have a girlfriend who sits on the sidelines and cheers for you, or one who will jump right in the game? How about a girlfriend who enjoys a sport or hobby you’ve never tried? It’s a good idea to start working this out now, before you meet her and before she announces that she’s bored with dinner and a movie every time you go out. Right now, you might think that physical attraction is all that a relationship requires, and you’d be right for the first date…maybe. But eventually, if you haven’t thought through what you want to give and receive in your relationship, your girlfriend will get on your nerves until you have to break it off. But if you start off your relationship right, you’ll be much more likely to get a great girlfriend who you’ll never want to leave. Remember that you have to have something to offer in a relationship, too. What will that be? There are a few things that women want that will surprise you, and others that will seem incredibly obvious. And then there are other things that you thought were important that turn out not to matter at all. So what’s fact and what’s fiction?

A Few Blind Date Don’ts

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Attracting women everywhere 1When you’re on a blind date, don’t lie. Strive to always be yourself. You needn’t pretend to be someone that you aren’t. After all, isn’t part of the dating quest to find someone who likes, and eventually loves you for YOU? Dishonesty will only lead to the date being a disaster for both of you. If you are out on a date, and you sense that the other person isn’t being truthful, you know that ultimately you can’t trust them, and you aren’t going to want to continue the date, much less go out on another date with them.

Don’t bore your date with too many elaborate details about your past, unless they are very engaging, funny, or otherwise interesting details. You will be able to gage your date’s interest by any number of visual or auditory clues, most notably they smile and ask for you to elaborate! Talk a little about yourself but don’t go into too much detail, especially if you are sensing that the other person isn’t interested.

Don’t bogart the conversation. Try to listen carefully as well. Don’t make it seem like you only want to hear yourself talk. If you appear to be overly self-centered, your date is not likely is to want to take you out on a date again, because all you do is talk about yourself.

Don’t bring up the past or reference your last relationship. This might seem like a convenient topic, but it isn’t appropriated for your first date. Remember, you’re still dating because your former romantic interests didn’t work out. Additionally, if your date appears to be navigating the conversation toward a former relationship, be confident about gently nudging them toward a more promising subject!

Don’t be too opinioned right away. You don’t know how your date feels about various subjects, so if you start to talk about a potentially controversial subject, you might inadvertently offend or hurt your date by saying something negative about a cause they support. Test the waters before you start to talk about subjects such as politics or current events. Get a feel for what they believe, and proceed with tact. Remember to always be kind!

In short, it’s important to remember that when you’re on a blind date, you don’t want to make the other person feel uncomfortable in any way. No matter what, make sure that you aren’t doing or saying things that might lead your date to misjudge who you are, or take you seriously about something that you don’t want to appear to feel seriously about. Don’t make a big deal out of the little things. In other words, keep the conversation light and breezy!

When a Blind Date Goes Well

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009
Fabulous great datesYou’ve probably thought about going on a blind date for a while now. When you go on a blind date, you are going to be meeting someone that you have never seen before, and that you probably won’t know much about. You might be concerned that the date isn’t going to go well, and you might feel like it is not going to be something that you ever want to do again.

However, sometimes a blind date goes well. It might be that you hit it off with the person you have been set up with. This most often happens when you go out with someone that your friends thought would be a good match for you. You friends tend to know you best, so if they think a person is someone you’d like, there is a good chance that this will be true. Sometimes, if you meet someone online or through a personal ad, you might also get lucky and end up falling for that person as well. So, what do you do when a blind date goes well? There are several options for when this happens. If a blind date is going very well, you might want to tell the person that you are having a good time. This honest approach lets them see that you are really enjoying yourself, and you might be surprised to hear that they are having a good time as well. If this is the case, both of you might feel comfortable asking for another date. If a blind date goes well, but no one has asked the other for a second date by the end of the night, you might want to ask if it is okay if you call them sometime. If they say it is, then you should wait a couple of days before you call them and see if they’d like to do something again. If they call you, make sure that you say yes, if that’s what you want to do. Blind dates can indeed lead to something that lasts long-term, so you shouldn’t avoid going out on such dates just because you don’t know the person. If you keep your mind open to new possibilities, you might be surprised at what you find out. It could just be the best thing to ever happen to your dating life. There is always a chance of something more happening when you go on a blind date.

Dating a Man in the Workplace

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Smart ManOffice romances are full of risk. Before you start flirting over the copy machine, think about where an office romance could take you. In fact, your company may have a firm policy discouraging dating a co-worker or at least dating a person within the same department. Even if there’s no policy, you need to decide what’s going to be your personal policy about dating that new hot guy in the next cubicle. Granted, you spend many hours weekly at work. It’s only natural that you form friendships at work and occasionally socialize with co-workers after hours. Time spent away from work pressures can be great for building rapport among co-workers. If your socializing turns into a romance, then all the rules change. You know that it’s tough enough to concentrate on the mundane chores of your job when your mind is swirling with images of your new man. But when he’s in the next cubicle, it gets much harder. With any new guy, it’s easy to want to sneak personal phone calls and rush out at 4:59 p.m. to get a jump on parking lot traffic just to be with him. Imagine how much more distracting a romance would be if your guy was only a few desks or a floor away from you all day long? Having your guy so close that you can sneak kisses in the supply room sounds wonderful, but it can also create some embarrassing situations. All of your relationship woes could – and probably would – become office fodder for the gossip mills. Harmless courtship actions like blatantly flirting aren’t bad, but they can easily become inappropriate in a workplace. You may think no one else notices, but think again. They notice, they watch and they talk. Then the first time you and your guy have a disagreement, you might as well post it on the office bulletin board. Everything about your demeanor and your reactions toward each other show when you’re having a fight. Then the grapevine heats up with speculation about how long before the romance is over and you two might even be teased about it. It’s not unheard of for co-workers to place bets on how long the relationship will last. That’s not reserved just for sitcoms on TV. If you think these situations might feel uncomfortable at work, there’s only one way to make it worse – and that’s to date your boss. Whether he’s your immediate supervisor in the department or the Vice President in the corner office, you’re going to be seen as a social climber. Anything good that happens to you, even if it’s a reward for work you did last quarter is going to be seen as favoritism because you’re dating the boss. So if you really do find romance in the office with a co-worker or the boss, consider changing departments or company locations to put some healthy distance between you and him and you.

He Had a Life Before You Met Him!

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

Dark hair ManBefore you work yourself into a tizzy because he hasn’t called you yet, or he is giving the impression that he may need to “slow things down’, or worse (from your perspective), you learn through the grapevine that he’s been on several other dates since yours; remember, he had a life before he met you! Just like you, he has friends, a possible an “ex” he’s still disentangling from, work obligations, family obligations, even date obligations he made before meeting you which he may feel compelled to honor (and this is indeed a noble move on his part). If he feels he’s had as miraculous a date as you feel, he might simply be trying to get his life in order so that he can proceed with what he feels is a relationship with great potential - he just may need a little more time to disentangle himself from several life encumberances! So, give him a little time, and don’t panic. If he’s genuinely “the guy”, wild horses won’t keep him away from you, so try to be patient!

Be Yourself on a Date!

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

Activities for datingAlways be yourself on a date. Lying, or any form of deception, is not a good idea when it comes to dates. It’s important to set a precedent of being honest with your dates, and to be truthful when they ask you questions. You don’t want to portray yourself in a way that is inaccurate, so you should always, always be truthful about who you are, how you feel, and what you believe. It’s simply EASIER to be yourself! Be prepared to share a little bit about yourself on the date. You may not want to go into too much detail initially, but share with your date a bit about yourself so they can begin to get to know you. Share a little of your personal history, a little about your family, a little about what you do, touch on things that you believe in, and what you see for yourself in the future. Share what you feel comfortable speaking about, without boring them by talking too much about yourself. Think of it as a whirlwind synopsis of who you are! The intent is to not only tantalize your date with tidbits of information, but to generate sufficient interest on their part so they can ask questions, which helps you gain insight into what aspect of your life they find of greater interest!
