First Date: Your First Impression on her

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

First DateFirst date is a thing which always makes you think over again and again that what would be your first impression or how to give her a good impression on the very first meeting? The first impression is often said as the last impression, whereas in Dating, especially on the first date, the first impression matters a lot. The other person only notices your looks, attitude and behavior rather than going deep into your life on the very first date and your first impression plays an important part as to what kind of relation will develop or even if the relation will develop or not? So, here are few tips for you so that you know how to give the best impression as the first impression on your first date with her.

Look Good: May be you are not a handsome guy, but does that mean you can’t look good? Self grooming is really important. You need to do the following things before going to your first date: – bathing, smelling good, trimming away nose hair and ironing your shirt. I hope you think that the above mentioned tasks do not need much effort.

Have a Good  Sense of Humor: Women love the people who can make them laugh. By making her laugh you are making sure that she is having a good time and is enjoying being with you. She will surely remember her first date with you and will want to go out with you again as you left a good impression on her.

Be Yourself: Women sense fraud, so better you don’t lie anything. Be what you are and answer her questions honestly as you are at the stage of creating a base for your relationship and sooner or later all things come up clearly, so to avoid being called a liar. Be true. Don’t pretend to be what you are not, instead let her know you as who you are or what you are? This will certainly create a good impression on her.

Be a Good Listener: Women love to talk and they love to tell about themselves, so whenever she is talking to you, listen to her carefully, instead of thinking about what to ask next? By listening to her, you are showing her that you are interested in knowing about her which will make her comfortable talking to you and she will always love being with you. Remember, do not get involved in any controversial topics like politics etc,  instead you can choose the topics like hobbies, family, sports etc.

Maintain a Good Attitude: This is one of the most important tip or advice which I would like you to know. Your attitude matters a lot on your first date, it includes how you treat yourself, how you treat others and also how you make others treat you?

Be a Mystery: Women show a great interest towards something they can’t understand and they always want to learn about it more. So, being a mystery will attract her towards you and she would want to come out with you again and again. Now, be nice but avoid being too nice to be always available for her and she would be coming back for more.

Make Her Feel Special: Always do everything to make a woman feel special as women always want to feel special. Women always want to be respected and appreciated. Your making her feel special will definitely leave a good impression on her. You can make her feel special by doing small things like opening the door for her, offering her a chair before you are seated etc.

Enjoy Dating: Dating means to feel relaxed. Instead of being stressed out by just trying to make your date perfect, just be comfortable and enjoy. If you are not enjoying, certainly she would be able to tell and she also won’t enjoy the date and here you may make a bad impression on her.

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?

Is Online Dating a Boon or a Bust?

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Online DatingClick, Find Love.

Is this a new movie or a title of a book focusing in love on the Internet? Think You’ve got mail, Must love dogs and Napoleon Dynamite, all films geared towards finding love or partners online. Have we really lost the era of romanticism?

While it is undeniable that a large number of people have found its way to online dating, it is certainly not regarded as a last recourse for those who have had a challenging time looking for dates. In fact, online dating is just like putting up a personal ad in a magazine or newspaper, a popular method in the late 80’s and early 90’s although online dating is much faster and more convenient.

What you get with online dating is the same as the personal ads in print, with so much more benefits and options. It’s still a blind chase but at least you get to check on it everyday, like tracking down how many people viewed your profile, you get instant messages in a matter of seconds and responses to messages are instantaneous.

While some have thanked their lucky stars for online dating, some sees this as a curse, fit for the preying for online wolves. Admittedly, a lot of shady persons have used the cloak of anonymity of the Internet to mask their true intentions. Profiles are not completely honest, old photos are uploaded and some even have the audacity to ask for money.

There have even been reports of some people from different countries meet up, some women lured into sex in promise of a new comfortable life and probably marriage. But to the credit of online dating, there have also been a lot of success stories involving a happy marriage or union.

Another known problems are with some online dating sites that have padded their member list with “bait” profiles, putting up more members to show that they have a vast membership. This would let a potential member think that there is a lot of people he or she can meet on the site and their chances of meeting a person they could probably like to get to know would grow higher.

But even with those mentioned problems, the popularity of online dating is rising at the speed and strength of a careening freight train at top speed. More and more websites have mushroomed and more people are signing up, sometimes even to more than two online dating sites.

The grasp of online dating sites extends to people who find the “chase” exciting and thrilling, the mystique of meeting a complete stranger adds up to the excitement.

There are also a good number of online dating aficionados that are relatively shy and would only be able to effectively communicate with other people behind the monitor using the keyboard as their mouthpiece.

Be it either for a short- or long-term relationship, online dating sites have already proven its effectivity and reliability with a startling ratio of success stories.

In fact, in 2004, US residents alone have spent $469.5 million in online dating sites, covering the fees. Online dating is now regarded as the largest industry in the paid website content.

There are now more than a thousand online dating sites, growing at en estimate of 35 percent increase each year. Shares in the market though are dominated by a couple of large websites which includes league giants Yahoo with Yahoo Personals, American Singles and Match.com to name a few.

But online dating is not only for us Americans, although we do dominate the market. The online dating bug has also bitten Europe with increased memberships seen and more and more European online dating sites popping up.

With the trend in growth going sky high, it wouldn’t be a wonder that five to ten years from know, a great number of married couple would attribute their meeting to online dating.

But unlike a romantic movie, not all person that you meet online is a prince just waiting to ride his white horse or a damsel in distress in a high tower just waiting to drop her hair for you to climb and live happily ever after.

Get to know a person thoroughly first and if possible, get him or her to show herself or himself through a webcam, then gradually go to talking through phones. Take it slow before agreeing to personally meet each other.

Click, Find Love – It might as well be the start of your own love story.

How Online Dating Works

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Playing the NumbersYou’ve heard people talking about it. You’ve probably even seen advertisements for it on television. But for some reason, you haven’t yet given online dating a try. Perhaps you’re a bit nervous. Perhaps you don’t know a lot about computers and the Internet. Perhaps you’ll think less of yourself if you try and find companionship using technology rather than your personality. These concerns are understandable, but when you consider that millions of men and women are doing it every day, you’ve got to think that maybe online dating isn’t so bad. The way online dating works is really simple. You first need a way to connect to the Internet, which most people today already have so that should not be an issue. Then using the Internet, you need to find a suitable online dating website. Don’t let the word suitable scare you off. As you’ll see once you get into online dating, there are lots of different dating sites that cater to different groups or lifestyles. You’ll find sites for seniors, Christians, homosexuals, plain old heterosexual, and plenty more. Most of the online dating sites are subscription-based, meaning that you’ll have to join before you’ll be able to participate. Most often, it will cost money to join, but on some online dating websites, membership is free. The process of joining usually doesn’t involve much more than agreeing to the online dating site’s terms and conditions and paying the fee, if applicable. Once you’re a member, the next thing you’ll need to do is create a profile and a header. Your profile is what other members are going to read and based on your profile, another person should be able to determine whether you sound like someone worth pursuing. An effective profile not only describes you, it also talks about the qualities you’re looking for in someone else. Make it unique and be sure to proofread it before posting so you’re certain that what it says is really what you want to say. If the site allows members to attach photos to profiles, you’ll have to decide if this is something you’ll want to do. If so, just follow the instructions to attach it to your profile. Once your profile is posted, you can sit back and wait for others to start corresponding or you can start checking out other members’ profiles. If you find someone who sounds interesting, you can initiate the conversation. Besides corresponding via email and the ability to sort/delete your messages, online dating sites usually offer other activities you can participate in. Some sites offer live (typed) conversations via a site’s message board, and some sites host special events. Check both out and see whether those are activities you want to participate in. Online dating websites offer two really nice features. First, most are open around the clock so you can ‘date’ when it’s convenient for you. And second, new members join all the time so there will always be someone new to check out!

How to Meet & Keep a Great Girlfriend

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Activities for datingThere are women everywhere, but meeting one you’d like to go out with isn’t nearly as simple as it sounds. Women can be hard to approach, hard to impress, and hard to figure out – and no wonder. Their brains work differently than yours does.

What To Do If He Doesn’t Call

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Frustrated with datingYou had a fabulous time on the first date:  He was so easy to talk to that you felt like you had known him for years. He seemed to have your same tastes in food and movies, and you were amazed at how well you got along and look forward to the next date. If you’re honest, you felt such a connection to him that you told your best friend that you may have found your Mr. Right. Then the next day passes with no phone call. After a week, you stop checking voice mail, email or making excuses for him and accept that he’s not going to call you. How do you handle the rejection? You could head for the ice cream shop and drown your sorrows in scoops of rich ice cream with cookies and sprinkles on top. Hanging around the house in an old bathrobe crying is another way to deal with the hurt you feel. Drinking alcohol, driving too fast or getting angry and trash-talking about him are other destructive ways to cope with your sadness. So far that’s a look at how you might act in private or with friends, but eventually you might run into him again. If you work in the same company or even within the same industry, chances are you’ll see him again. If you met him through friends, then you can count on landing in the same social setting before long. How you handle yourself in that situation is going to be seen by others, so you need to think it over before it happens to avoid making a fool of yourself over a guy who doesn’t deserve your attention. Maybe you’ve imagined how you might “tell him off” – but is that what you really want to do? First of all, if he didn’t care enough about you to call after the date as he said he would, then he simply doesn’t care what you think. Telling him how you feel won’t change him because he has no interest in you. If you do that, you are the one who looks foolish in front of friends or co-workers. Or you might be fantasizing about “showing him what he missed” by parading a new date in front of the last one. Reality check: He won’t care and your new guy won’t like being used to cause jealousy in another man. You lose on both counts. The longer you obsess about him, the more you build up something that’s more than what it ever was. You can analyze your dating conversation a thousand ways so that you eventually hear something that wasn’t said and believe something that never happened. That’s the power of obsession – it turns reality into fantasy that you begin to believe. Don’t resort to high school dating tricks like sending him anonymous cards that are sweet or sarcastic. And definitely don’t drive by his house at all hours to see who is with him. You can’t win him over by stalking him, just be glad that he realized you two weren’t right for each other and move on to find the one who will treasure you most. In short, as one friend aptly expressed: If someone’s dishonored you, don’t let them live rent-free in your head. Move On!!!

Help! I Feel No Chemistry With My Date

Friday, February 27th, 2009

How to approach a woman 1Often we gravitate to dates who don’t treat us with respect and kindness. Don’t hang all your hopes on obvious, surface characteristics such as the way your date dresses, or the fact that he may be proverbially tall, dark and handsome. Examine in-depth what your date’s qualities are. How does he treat you? How does he treat your kids (if you have any). Can you talk about personal matters easily? Do you feel comfortable with your date, or do you feel you need to always “perform” and are trying to measure up to some unspoken standard? Look at the values that are the most important to you and try to accurately assess whether they’re fulfilled in the relationship or not. If you’re sensing that there is very little chemistry, could it be that you’re still having strong feelings for someone in your past and you continue to hold that relationship as the model? Each person is unique. To use a former love interest as the archetype will ultimately create problems for your future relationships. We all have countless aspect to ourselves; the way we think; what we perceive; and how we react in various situations. Different people draw out very different combinations of these qualities. Think of your date as a mirror. Ideally, the best date is someone who accurately reflects or brings out the best in you! Recently a friend told me that she liked her new date because whenever they rent a movie if they both missed a part on the DVD he’d rewind it so they could hear it. Her ex-husband would never rewind it but would tell her that the part wasn’t important. Sometimes little touches like this make a relationship very special. If there are a lot of positives, but you’re not necessarily feeling that earth-shattering “spark”, don’t rule the date out. Obviously if the person has many habits that make you cringe then this will not be a good match despite the good qualities you may notice. However, keep an open mind. No attraction is different than repulsion! Friendships can mature into romance. Remember, some of the most successful relationships are predicated on becoming best friends to one another first. This simply takes time, space, and context – experiencing your date in a myriad of situations which enable your comfort, trust, respect and ultimately love to grow.
