Desperate Dater

You haven’t had a date in months, and it certainly isn’t due to lack of trying! But for some reason nothing you do seems to work; not your flirting, not your internet dating profile and not your pleas to family and friends to introduce you to someone, anyone!

Chances are that when you’re in love you wear your heart on your sleeve. Similarly, when you want a date so badly you can taste it, that desperation is evident in your behavior. Unfortunately, it makes potential daters run for the hills. Keep reading for tips to change your luck.

Stop trying so hard! In most things social, trying too hard gives the opposite result of what you want. Trying too hard to attract or keep a date will always backfire. Remember that love will come in its own good time; you can’t force it. So stop putting so much pressure on that guy or gal you met on an internet dating service; it it’s meant to be things will progress at their own pace.

Lying to impress. If you’re guilty of lying about yourself to impress someone, stop it! Right now! There’s nothing to be gained by lying about who you are or what you do. Sooner or later even the little white lies are going to catch up with you. Do it often enough and you’ll gain a reputation you really don’t want.

Agreeing with everything. When you’re having a conversation with a potential date, do you find yourself agreeing with everything they say, even if you don’t? Though this isn’t outright lying, you’re not being true to yourself. You cannot expect someone to get to know the real you if you don’t have any opinions of your own. Agreeing for the sake of agreeing is for wimps.

You’re a doormat. You’ve been stood up so many times you’ve lost count, and rather than tell your date how you feel, you simply accept his/her explanation. That’s the sign of a doormat. If you don’t respect yourself, why should anyone else? Self respect is the key to self confidence; and a must if you don’t want to appear desperate.

Do you think you have to sleep with someone in order for them to stick around, even though you don’t think you’re ready? Sleeping with someone before you’re ready is a sure sign of desperation. If you date decides to drop you if you won’t sleep with him/her, then just let them!

Desperate Daters will date anyone who has a heartbeat. If any of the above sounds like you, take a breather and use this dating downtime as an opportunity to for self improvement. Once you’re at ease in your own skin, you’ll no longer come across as desperate.

Online Dating - Ten Tips Towards Keeping It Safe

July 3rd, 2009 by Eric Dashal | No Comments | Filed in Online Dating
by Eric Dashal

Looking out for the ideal person is a quest many of my friends are involved in. Having gone through people to meet in the ‘real world’ they’ve turned to the virtual world. Most have little time to go out though, since being flourishing professionals, takes dedicated time. I’m not signifying that they don’t come across the winning person every so often, but the realization that the world’s full of people that can be met online has induced some experimentation. So they’re each investigating finding someone online. Because of the popularity of this trend, I decided to canvass my friends and find out about the shielding features available. The best of the pointers I received are laid out below.

Your online presence - how personal is your ‘personal space’?

Don’t bare any more information than is completely necessary. The online world is filled with people who’re out to prey-on the unwary. It’s important to have a alias when you’re active online, and never publish your home telephone number. Besides this, ensure that you create a free, online e-mail account that you can use exclusively for hooking- up online. You should refrain from handing out fiscal information online to any individual. The virtual environment is swarming with people who’d take tremendous advantage of information that would help them to reach into your bank account. So, keeping this in mind, you must never give away information that relates to the security of your financial accounts.

Learning about people online

There are chat and messaging interfaces available on most dating sites. size-up, understand and utilize these features extensively to set in motion and maintain contact initially with someone you like. Look into the psychology of the person you’re communicating with as far as you can reach via the available to you online. Create a list of questions that you would help you understand a person better and make sure you bring these up during chats. You should acknowledge that questions you ask may be put to you as well and you should not ask something you’d not answer yourself. Always check if the image placed on a profile is the most recent one, and you actually should ask for the most recent picture of the person you’re communicating with. It’s advantageous to secure as many pictures as possible of the person you’re reaching, so that you’re clear about the looks of the person before proceeding further.

Going from text chat to voice communication

One of the most important tools you’ll come to rely on, is to trust your instinct. Every person who’s self aware is capable of making a judgment that’s based on instinct. Use your instinct to the hilt, and you’ll be able to discard people you’re disinterested in right away in this way. But, don’t let your instinct let you put down your guard either. After you’re reasonably sure that you’re comfortable with the person you’re communicating with, it would be essential for you to speak with him/her. Follow the same procedures for verbal communication as you would through online means like chat and e-mail. Do not reveal where you live, and do not provide any information that would allow someone to track your whereabouts. Get yourself a separate phone number that you can dedicate to your online dating. This should preferably be a mobile device, so that you may carry it around with you if you decide to meet the person you’re communicating with.

The first meeting

Once you’re self-assured that you’d like to meet with a person (and this may last through quite a few meetings with the person), see to it that your meeting place is somewhere with people about. Places with a continuous flow of people would include a coffee-shop or a bistro. Meeting a person initially can be unnerving so having people about eases the nerves too. With the numerous tactical services built into the premium services on dating websites, it’s always advisable to go in for a paid package, especially when you want to keep security at the forefront.

Tips for a Successful First Date

July 2nd, 2009 by Damian Papworth | No Comments | Filed in Online Dating
by Jayde Johanssen

A woman, in the eyes of a man, can be a mysterious, flighty and mercurial creature. She’s hard to please. She’s impossible to figure out. Landing the woman of your dreams seems like, to many a bachelor, mission impossible.

The truth is though, that dating isn’t a mysterious craft. It’s not like you’re learning alchemy. It’s not something that requires years of intensive training. It’s a natural thing. Simply stick to a few set rules and you’ll be fine. Your first date will simply be a prelude of good things to come.

The perfect first date should be exciting. It should be fun and flirtatious and light hearted. Don’t make it out to be more than it really is. Taking that in account, know that grabbing a mocha at Starbuck’s really doesn’t cut it. Going on a date means you fetch your date at her place and take her out for dinner or a show.

A smart gentleman will have something planned beforehand. You can’t just magically whisk a date out of your baseball cap. Make reservations to a nice restaurant or get tickets to a show. It doesn’t have to be overly fancy or formal–just have a plan. Women like men with plans.

If you want your lady to think highly of you, remember that actions speak louder than words. Don’t take your date to your favorite bar–this isn’t guys night out. Don’t go to some ridiculously casual joint either. Show your date you value her. So get creative or be prepared to spend some time on making preparations or simply be prepared to dish out a little bit of cash.

The confirmation call is vital. Remember to call your date and confirm that you will come pick her up on Friday at 8. Do not keep your lady waiting. This will cause unnecessary fretting and stress. A phone call is really easy to make and it’s good manners.

Punctuality is important. A good date and a gentleman does not keep his date waiting. It’s simply bad form to arrive late. Again, you’ll cause your date unneeded stress. And you really don’t want to start off on the wrong foot. If you do have cause to be more than ten minutes late, call your date and let her know, as soon as you can. She’ll appreciate it.

Flattery in moderation is a good thing. If you really like your lady, don’t be afraid to tell her so. But again, practice the time tested measure of moderation. You don’t want to come on too strong as that’s off putting. Simply saying, ‘you look great,’ will put you in her good graces.

Women spend a lot of time and a fair amount of cash in preparing for a date. They go to their hair dresser’s and get manicures. Grooming is expensive. Pick up the check, your date has already shelled out a small fortune just to be there.

Now if your date doesn’t go as expected, be gracious and courteous. Don’t offer false hopes of phone calls that will never be made. Tell your date thanks for coming and wish her a goodnight. It’s not that hard.

If the date goes well, let her know you had a good time. Be courteous and gentlemanly.

Senior Friends: How to pick a 50+ Dating Site

July 1st, 2009 by Angus Rittenhouse | No Comments | Filed in Online Dating
by Angus Rittenhouse

As we all know, online dating sites are not only limited to young people anymore. 50+ dating sites are very much available for you to become a part of and look for their potential life partners, dates, or even just for senior friends.

If you happen to scan some online senior friends dating services, or even other online dating services in general, you may have gotten the impression that all of them look the same. It may be true; dating sites, the big ones in general, look polished. But, once you dig deeper to each of these sites, then you can compare the differences between them.

What are the differences between these dating sites for senior friends? And what are the things to look out for in choosing one? The answer is the features that these sites offer. Each 50+ dating sites are unique and are different when it comes to their features.

First to look out for is the profile setup feature, since this is the most noticeable among the differences. In setting up your own profile, you can come across two main types; the freeform and the structured. You can practice your creativity in freeform, as this allows you to write freely about yourself. Time-consuming, yes, but its more personal. In structured type, however, you can setup your own profile through sets of questions. Your profile may sound generic, but you will not need to invest time in creating a profile.

There are some sites that require you to produce your own email address. This is so these sites can automatically forward the messages from your contacts to your email, where you can read it. The other option for this is that there are some sites that require you to log-in to the site in order for you to check your messages from your contacts. Both have their own pros and cons.

Chat feature has become a popular commodity for dating sites these days, and a helpful one too. It allows you to connect with your contacts through the form of chat. It appears sometimes as a box, or as a pop-up. Be aware of its addictive properties, though.

There are some dating sites that has “users online” feature, which gives you a list of contacts who are online real time. This is a very helpful feature, as this can help you determine who are available to chat with (for those sites that have chat feature) or who can get your messages in no time.

These are just some of the features to look out for in looking for a good senior dating site. But please remember that these sites update their features from time to time, to enhance your online senior dating experience.

Link Building Strategies To Try Today

June 30th, 2009 by Katie Kole | No Comments | Filed in Online Dating
by Rachel Kuptz

Don’t Discard Directories: Larger directories, those like DMOZ and Yahoo! Directories, might not send major traffic to your site, but they can ensure that your site ranks for targeted keywords in the major search engines faster. Consider listings in niche directories related to your field, or directories that rank for keywords that you want your web site to rank for. Make use of a f free tool like SoloSEO to find directories that are relevant to your niche or keyword.

Submit Press Releases: While there is the method of uploading press releases to premier distribution channels, then there’s the SEO process of distributing to paid distribution sites. When partnered with a pitching strategy, paid distribution sites are great for getting media attention, but it’s the free distribution sites that will help you earn some backlinks. If you usually submit your press releases to the paid distribution channels, take a few minutes each month to also distribute them to the free press release distribution sites.

Article Submission: Article marketing might consist of submitting articles to directories, social media sites, or even guest blogging or writing an exclusive feature article for another site. By submitting your articles to a variety of sites, you expand your traffic base and receive backlinks from relevant sites. Sites like Ezine Articles and Hub Pages are great when you have unique content to distribute, but also consider re-writing one of your popular blog posts and submitting to a site like Unique Article Wizard. Your article will be distributed to hundreds of sites depending on the topic, and a large percentage of those sites will give you a one-way link back.

Take Advantage of Social Networking Profile Creation: Creating social media profiles can be a quick way to earn backlinks. Some of the social media sites will give you a dofollow backlink to your site, while others aren’t so generous, although the traffic you get could still be worth it. Check out a site like KnowEm for an extensive list of social media sites that allow profile creation.

Comment On Blogs and Forums: Finding a blog that will follow your comment can be a task in its own, but blog commenting is still a great way to receive links, especially if you are commenting on relevant sites. While a software blogger commenting on a food site mightnot make sense, commenting on blogs in your industry does. Forums generally follow backlinks via the signature field and are a great way to earn additional links.

Find Reciprocal Link Opportunities: While reciprocal links aren’t as beneficial any more, they can still make up a small portion of your link building strategy - just don’t depend on it for your entire link building strategy. You can get reciprocal links from vendors and partners that you do business with, friends and family with web sites, directories and sites that offer a reciprocal exchange, or by emailing sites you’d like to appear on, asking them for a reciprocal link. Try a tool like Link Assistant to help find reciprocal linking partners and to monitor your link popularity over time.

Emailing Relevant Sites: If you think your web site might be relevant to another web sites target market, email the webmaster of the site explaining who you are, what your request is, and how it would benefit them. Don’t send blanket emails though - make sure to thoroughly research the website, find out their needs, and then pitch accordingly.

Publish Link Bait: Much like article marketing, link bait consists of writing an article or blog, but instead of submitting to a variety of sites, you’ll keep this on your own web site. With link bait, you’re looking to write an article that will spike the interest of your industry peers, social media sites, or verticals that you’re interested in entering. Link bait articles aren’t always planned - a blog post that took you 10 minutes to write may end up driving thousands of visitors to your web site, while a post that took you hours of research and time may not get a single view. Posts that tend to get the most links and views offer a different viewpoint to a common issue or problem, describe how to do something, are top 10 posts or roundups of a popular topic, consist of breaking news or trends, or even just supply a picture, humor, or thought on something that is unique to your industry.

Are There Really Russian Women Looking For Western Men?

June 28th, 2009 by Mark De Schutter | No Comments | Filed in Online Dating
by Mark De Schutter

A lot of Western men love the idea of having a female from another country as their wife. This is because in most of these countries those women are raised to be submissive to the mail. Of course you’re not going to find that in all countries. But Russia is one, and there are tons of Russian women looking for their prince in a Western man.

Not to seem like a complete pessimist, but there are scams that are run from these Russian dating sites, and probably several other countries too. And it’s not only women who run the scam it could be a guy who tries to convince a female that he loves them.

It’s sad to say but it may not even be women who you are talking to in some cases. It’s not only dating sites that these scammers try to catch you on. Social networking sees a bunch of people who try and hook up with people for the wrong reasons. Those reasons are they want to scam them out of money. There are things you should look into before you take any one at face value. That goes without saying about Russian women who are looking for Western men.

To test her this friend said that he had no money left. She sent him several emails saying that he didn’t care for her at all. She would be stranded in a railroad station overnight since he had no money. All these things, yet the day before she had told him she still had some money left. All of the sudden she didn’t have the money she had claimed, but wanted his money instead.

Well when he balked at sending money, this girl completely changed her tone. Swearing and calling him ugly and all sorts of things. It’s odd how the lack of money will change a person so quickly. But it wasn’t only that, it was the picture that was her undoing. I say her lightly; this picture was posted on several other sites for Russian women, all with different names.

But if you’re now afraid of looking into a Russian woman for your bride, don’t be. You just need to be very careful when you get online. Anyone in any country can run a scam. There really are Russian women out there that dream of a Western man sweeping them off of their feet. Taking them from a country they have lived in way too long.

So as a Western man looking for his dream girl on a Russian dating site, don’t give up yet. Just approach with a bit more caution than you might have once. Don’t accept everything at face value. And most of all don’t blindly trust when they ask for money, don’t send it, but check out the prices online of what they are asking for.

In closing, always check out a person who you feel you may have a connection with. Especially if they are located out of country. It’s not a pessimistic thing, but a way to keep your heart intact and not get hurt. It’s sad to say that many people love to run these scams.

A Brief Guide to Dating

June 25th, 2009 by Jayde Johanssen | No Comments | Filed in Online Dating
by Jayde Johanssen

Some men see dating as an obstacle course. They have to navigate their ways through a series of seemingly never ending challenges just to get the girl. Plus, there’s the whole women are complicated stereotype. Many men see women as being mysterious, impenetrable creatures whom they can never please. So the big quandary is how to find the girl of your dreams? What’s the trick to finding the right girl? How does a guy be the perfect date without succumbing to his natural instincts? Although it seems like a veritable quagmire, dating isn’t that tough.

Actually, the truth of the matter is that dating isn’t so difficult. People like to make it out as one of the hardest things on this Earth, but it’s really not. While there isn’t a definitve review or guide on dating, there are some nuggets of wisdom which do prove helpful for men, whether they’re on their first date or on their 70th date.

Dont get over enthusiastic. Even if youre really into a girl, the last thing you want to do is get ahead of yourself. Jumping the gun may just lead you down the path of heart break. Keep expectations reasonable and realistic.

Grow up. People need to start realizing that they aren’t kids anymore. Behavior that was once acceptable no longer is when you’re thirty years old. Being a slob and and a drunk is no longer cute nor charming. It may have been fine in college, but it’s not cool to live like an adult child. There comes a time when people have to grow up. They have to pick up their things and become responsible. Things like being on time, apologizing for mistakes, and making smart, unselfish decisions are key not just to dating but to living.

Convey respect. Make your date feel wanted, special, important. People do like to feel like they are worth something. If you don’t let your date feel like they are valued, then chances are things aren’t going to work out.

Open the car door. Pull out her chair at a restaurant. It may seem old fashioned especially now that everyone champions egalitarianism, but women like these little courtesies. Stuff like that really doesnt get old.

Appreciate your date. Pay attention to her. Show her affection. These three A’s will get you far. It’s important that you show your date that you respect her, that you listen to her and that she matters and not simply as a sexual object. Show her you care. It really does wonders.

Keep an open mind. You don’t have to obey all the dating rules. In fact, you may just find that you have more fun breaking the rules than you do following them. This means instead of the usual dinner and a movie, try a home made meal in or going to a show.

Keep the positive vibes flowing. No one likes a negative Nelly or Ned. Even if youre date doesnt go as planned, being a grouch or killjoy will ensure that you probably wont end up on another date. And who knows, you may be missing out on something great.

Don’t talk about your ex. Don’t talk about how needy you are. Keep things light, fun and romantic. And enjoy. Be yourself.

What are the differences between these dating sites for senior friends? And what are the things to look out for in choosing one? The answer is the features that these sites offer. Each 50+ dating sites are unique and are different when it comes to their features.

Getting Into the Adult Online Dating Scene

June 23rd, 2009 by Damian Papworth | No Comments | Filed in Online Dating
by Jayde Johanssen

Every person has that special someone, a kindred spirit to connect with and love for the rest of life. Of course, finding that person is easier said than done. With busy lives getting in the way of getting out into the dating scene, work, school, and chores often get in the way of finding love. That’s not to mention the fact that the dating scene can become pretty tiresome once you’ve been on a hundred dates that leave you feeling exactly the same way.

Luckily, there’s an alternative: online dating. A number of sites are out there on the digital highway, waiting for you to sign on to find true love. Get your browser loaded up, because these sites promise to find you the love that you’ve been seeking.

Some of these sites are free, making money through advertising and the like. Others require a paid subscription. If you can afford it, your best bet is to go for the latter, because it eliminates some of the “riff-raff” normally associated with these kinds of sites.

Safety should be at the forefront of your mind at all times. Predators lurk on these sites, waiting to pounce on your good intentions. Just like anything else on the web, be cautious and protect yourself from these kinds of people.

For starters, don’t use your real name as a login. Instead, make up a name, or use your first name followed by a string of numbers. Likewise, you should avoid divulging personal info that would enable someone to figure out things like your address or phone number. News has recently come out about injuries and even deaths resulting from online adult dating sites, so it’s imperative that you take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety. Another good reason to keep things hush-hush: your friends and family could be looking through the same sites, and it’s likely that you won’t want them to come across your profile, especially if you’re into some things that they might not view as socially acceptable.

When you first meet someone off the Internet, make sure to rendezvous in a public place. That way, if things go wrong from the outset, you’ll be able to leave without the danger of being harassed. Make sure that before the meeting, your date’s expectations match your own. If you’re not looking for immediate sexual gratification, make that clear. That way, everything is out in the open and no one will be surprised when the date ends with a hug or a kiss on the cheek.

You should also be aware that pictures don’t really tell a thousands words, in this case. Perhaps your date uploaded a photo from some time in the 1980s. It’s also possible that the photo isn’t even of them at all! The main thing to consider is that communication is the name of the game. You can avoid all of these problems simply by taking the time to check everything out and build a relationship online, before you take it offline.

Online adult dating sites are a great way to meet new lovers. Be careful, and you’ll be rewarded with a fun, new relationship.
