5 Most Powerful Tips to Succeed In Dating

To succeed in dating, the most important thing you must have is a positive mindset. With a powerful and positive mindset, nothing can stop you from getting the woman of your dream.

Dating is a very emotional behavior or action, where you depend on your subconscious mind most of the time. So in order to succeed in dating, you will need to beat the little voice inside of you.

Therefore to assist you in your future dating experiences, I am going to share with you 8 of the most powerful tips to help you to succeed in dating:

1. Forget about your past relationships. Do not let your past relationships, especially those which have failed, to affect the way you view new relationships. Sometimes memories should be forgotten as they can ensnare people. It is always beneficial to start over.

2. Be a little selfish. Treat yourself with more priority. There is a saying that "you should not put someone in your top priority if he or she does not even consider you as a priority." Do what you want and what makes you happy.

3. Have optimism in your new or future relationships. Have faith in it and trust that it will work out. Do not go in with a state of mind that it will not last long.

4. Be yourself. It is common to be a different you at the start of the relationships as both of you will want to leave a good impression in each other minds. But you should always try your best to preserve your true characteristics as this is crucial in a long term relationship.

5. Treating each other with respects. All human being deserve a basic respect from one another. Therefore, take time to hear your partner out whenever there is an argument and respect what they have to say.

Bear these 5 tips in mind and apply to your relationships and you will succeed in dating.

Dating Advice - Should You Live Together Before Marriage

Should you move in with your guy before he has slipped that diamond ring on your finger?
Will this mean he will never pop the question? Maybe you are thinking "why buy a book when you can join a library?" According to the latest research this is not the case.

Moving in with your long term boyfriend is a huge step and a major turning point in the relationship. Obviously, you would not be contemplating this issue if you were morally opposed or if it went against your religious beliefs. Most career men are of the opinion that a relationship will only progress so far if you are not living together.

There are many things you will only learn about someone by living under the same roof. No one gives out lessons on how to do this successfully, so you will just have to play it by ear. Use this as an opportunity to iron out all the wrinkles in the relationship before you make the ultimate commitment. Living together before marriage gives you the potential to experience the other's habits, faults and funny little quirks. That endearing little quirk that you thought was so cute on a sporadic basis may drive you to distraction when faced with it daily. As a couple, you will be able to see how well you can make compromises in the all important issues of domestic duties and finances.

For a career guy, moving in with a girl is a gigantic step. He is contemplating getting engaged. If living with you goes as well as he hopes, he has already decided to purchase an engagement ring. Moving in with a girl is a big deal for a guy. He is throwing away his little black book, sacrificing any opportunities to date other women, changing his routine, and giving up a lot of his independence. Professional men see this as moving their relationship to another level and will only do this if they see the girl as being special enough. Drastic lifestyle changes will only be undertaken for a woman perceived to be marriage material.

Once you have moved in together, your guy will become quite anxious for a little while. He is feeling that his independence is under threat. He will be looking for any major conflicts. He no longer has the freedom that he had before, and for a lot of men this is a terrifying concept. You should allow him to have some time out to himself. The less threatened he feels. the closer he will become to you. A man has to be able to feel that he can be left alone when he wants to be. Giving a man space when he needs it, is perceived as being a terribly important trait for a wife.

When you shouldn't move in together:

You should only move in with your boyfriend if you have been in a long term relationship together, and you feel that you are headed for matrimony. You should never move in together just so that you can save on rent or because one of you has had a flatmate run off. If your boyfriend is only talking about moving in together, in terms of convenience, then don't do it. He is only seeing you as a flat mate he can sleep with. Do not move in with him too early on in the relationship. The formula seems to be to date for about 1 year and then think about living together.

You should talk to your boyfriend about your expectations of the relationship before you move in with him. You should probably be expecting the diamond ring within a year of cohabiting together. However, be careful how you word your expectations as you don't want it coming over as an ultimatum. You should have this conversation before you move in together, probably in the same talk where you both discuss where you see the relationship going long term.

Once you are sharing the love shack you should ease off on the commitment stuff for a while. Let him have a chance to adjust and relax. Your boyfriend knows that he has an obligation to you for a further commitment. Most guys will propose within 6-12 months of living together. If he hasn't made any mention of it by the first anniversary, it is probably a good idea to have another talk about where the two of you are headed. Some guys will get complacent if the relationship is all just going along nicely. These fellows definitely need a prod forward. If after a year, your guy is not happy for a further commitment, you should think about leaving.

Yes, you can live together before marriage and still get that diamond solitaire. De facto relationships are important for professional men to ascertain that you really are Mrs. Right.
Career guys will only move to this level in their relationship if they are contemplating popping the question. By using this living together advice, you will be increasing your chances of getting engaged. A diamond is forever.

Good Luck, Coco Swan.

Dating - Online Dating Advice

Finding the right match has never been easy. With a divorce rate that is 50 percent or higher in some countries, the trial and error approach seems to be the route many settle for.

But, the times are changing. Even as many say computers and the Internet have led to an impersonalized world, others are finding love, real love thanks to their keyboards and broadband connections. Online dating might have once been a trend, but now it's a force to be reckoned with.

With many American adults saying they know at least one person who has used an online dating service and more than $200 million being spent on these dating services in 2003 alone, the writing is on the wall. Online dating is a viable alternative to bars, night clubs and grocery store pick ups.

Online dating services and other online avenues offer both ups and downs. The pros, however, can far outweigh the cons when these services and other scenarios for meeting people are used with a little common sense put into the mix.

There are quite a few tips and tricks people can use to help ensure online dating results in good matches that are safe and on the up-and-up. Dating is never a situation that can come with a 100-percent-guarantee, but there are ways to push the odds in one's favor.

Those who are new to dating through the Internet will need to know a few things about the prospect. The topics anyone exploring online dating needs to consider are: where to go, how to use these services, what to say and do and how to play it safe.

When the rules of the road for online dating are understood, this means for meeting new people can produce some amazing results. Understanding the process and the tricks and tips of the trade can make diving in a whole lot easier.

By literally opening up the world to those looking for potential soul mates or even a fun date for a Friday night, the online world has begun to change the face of courtship. Where flowers and candy once reigned, e-mails and instant messages are taking over.

Learning how to traverse this brave new world smartly and safely can pay off with a match that's a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing. Using this means for meeting people incorrectly, however, can result in one dud date after another. It simply pays to do it right.

Attract More Women By Acting Like a Busy Guy

Be more confident. Try the cocky-funny technique. I could go on and on. There are so many tips available to help you attract women. As much as these tips indeed can help you attract more women, you can attract more women with just one simple technique. Be busy. That's it. You can get a woman's attention and increase her desire by having a busy life, or at least appearing to have a busy life.

Here's why…

For many men, the challenge is not getting a woman's phone number. Maybe they have fine-tuned their skills and have moved beyond that hurdle and can easily get the number. But, many guys still struggle with the "post-number" phase when they need to follow up and actually get a date. The problem is usually that the chemistry and intrigue created during the first conversation have diminished somewhat. As a woman turns her attention to other matters in her daily life, your call gradually becomes less of her focal point.

This is fairly natural occurrence. No, the solution is not to call her immediately after the first conversation. You simply need to rebuild her interest, desire and attraction. Stimulate her desire again, and you can do this best by remembering a common tip yet applying it with a twist. Women tend to be generally more attracted those with more active, exciting lives. Peak her curiosity by showing her that you are a "busy guy."

A woman will be more intrigued if it appears that there is a lot going on and requiring your attention. Suddenly, your value increases as it is obvious you are not anxiously waiting to see her again or sitting by the telephone waiting for the call. Also, she may even think you are dating or at least talking to other women, which increases her desire for your attention. Again, a little competition, whether present or not in reality, increases the challenge on her end and your value in her eyes.

Wouldn't it be better to have her waiting by the phone for you call? How can you keep that attraction there after you get her number? Here's how.

During that first call, be sure to express that there are just quite a few things requiring your attention during the upcoming week and, as much as you wish you did, you presently have no free time. Emphasize that you would like to see her but that it has "been very busy lately." You want to avoid giving the impression that you do not want to see her but do not apologize for your busy life. Just imply with subtlety that you wish you had the time to see her that week, but just do not.

Now, you can go ahead and plan for a date during that conversation for a time when things "slow down." Once the date is set and the plans are made, end the call and get off the phone since you have "things to do" or "need to be somewhere." Do not be too specific, though, but make it sound somewhat important or interesting to again, spike her curiosity.

Once you are on the date, talk a little about some of the activities that have been requiring your time lately. The point is to make it clear that you are a busy guy but that you do want to include her in your "schedule."

This approach is effective. The last thing you want to do after getting her phone number is to give the impression that you have nothing else going on in your life!

Leaving a Long Term Relationship

I tell you I rejoice today when I think about how I followed my own heart and moved on from the man everyone else thought I should marry. It was one of those times in my life when I was so torn up. I had dated this guy for three years - liked him and thought he was a great person, but something just was not right. Maybe we were too much alike. By everyone else's opinion he fit the perfect profile, had every worldly commodity you could think of and was a good person. But something was missing and though I could not figure it out, it just was not right.

So the best thing that I ever did for myself was to ask my favorite aunt who had a very successful marriage, how do you know when you are in love? She gave me a simple answer, "You will know when you know." That ended my dilemma. I said to myself if I don't know and it's been 3 years then there really is a problem. So I very kindly moved on. I distanced myself so that there would be no temptations to undo what I had just done. That was the hardest, hardest, hardest decision I had ever made, but it was the absolute best thing that I ever did for myself. It released him and it released me and we both found someone better suited.

Within nine months of that event I met and married the "you will know when you know." This relationship was completely real and completely right. Moments had determined what three years could not obtain. He is something else. Something wonderfully else and we are complete opposites. There is never a boring moment in our lives. My close friends still joke about how I married the man my family had not even met until a few days before the wedding when we flew in to have the big day. He took me totally out of character. Up until that point for me personally it was a cardinal sin for me to ever encounter anyone that did not have parental approval. So people still laugh about it because it really was a big deal. My parents did not know what to think, do or say. But right before the wedding, mom finally cracked - "I'll give you two weeks, then I'm coming to CHECK HIM OUT." And she did. Camped out until she felt I was okay and had not lost my mind. It was so funny when she left, she pulled me aside and whispered in my ear, "he passed inspection." Until the day she died they had a great relationship.

So do you need to move on? Actually no one can answer that but you. I'm going to give you the same wisdom my aunt gave me concerning love - you will know when you know and I will add, if you don't know, be selfless, release him so that you both can find your better half.

When A Relationship Is Out Of Sync

A real key in a relationship to both be on the same footing, and to have the same goals for the relationship. The longer it is for when the relationships are when they are out of sync, the more likely it is for the relationship to become toxic and unsustainable, but what do you do when this happens? You have choices to make, and these can be difficult choices to make in this relationship.

You can choose to remain in status quo, and most likely suffer from this consequence. Like a rubber band we can be stretched for only so long. When you have to operate outside of your personal norms and standards you may the daily grind of the relationship to be more than you can handle. The relationship may have enough payoffs that it makes it ok for you to go on with the relationship. You may get enough return out of this relationship to make this endurable, then again you have an option to end the relationship at any time, or you can even opt to make choices in this relationship later.

You can also choose to end the relationship. This really depends on what you get back out of your partner. Do you get anything positive out of your partner? Do you receive kindness, nurturing, or anything else that makes you feel good? If the negative transactions outweigh the positive ones it may be time to move on. Think of positive transactions as deposits into a checking out, and the negative transactions as deductions in the account. If you are always in the red, chances are you aren't happy with the relationship and it may be time to move on.

Finally you can choose to make changes in the relationship. You can tell your partner what you are and aren't happy with in the relationship. You can tell them what you want and desire from the relationship. Keep in mind; you can not bluff when it comes to this. Tell them you want more connectedness, or more time together, or knowing where you stand with them. If they listen, and receive your comments well, and agree to work on these issues, these are good signs. If they do not listen to you, and tell you they aren't going to change, it is time to move on.

Everyone deserves a relationship that is healthy, mutual and one that you receive positive emotions from the other person. Sometimes we are out of sync in our closeness, and this may be due to ignorance of the other person, a mismatch in timing, or a mismatch in person. You hold the responsibility in driving a relationship where you want it to go. You will receive the type of relationship that you allow to happen. If you are out of step with that other person, strive to place the both of you in the same step and direction. You absolutely deserve a relationship that is rewarding for you.

Three Tips to Ensure an Unforgettable Date

Dating is a lot of fun and meeting a person who shares your interests and feelings is exhilarating. Also, when dating, you explore new sides of yourself, which can be enlightening and interesting.

When you are out on a date, there are no fixed rules as such. Every date is different and it is best to just go along with it. However, there are a few tips that might be helpful in getting the most out of the date and enjoying your time with your new friend.

Be punctual

It is good manners to be punctual. If you arrange to meet somewhere at 8PM be there at 8PM or a few minutes early. It is rude to be late and will give your date the impression that you are not that interested in him or bothered about the date. Also, being late will start the date on a bad note. Even if you have excuses, it will still not look good.

Be calm

It is normal to have butterflies in your stomach before a big date, both from excitement and mild alarm, but try not to let nerves get in the way of having a good time. What is the worst thing that could happen? Your date might not be successful or you might be compatible. What if it isn't successful? Well, there will be others! Once you realize the worst thing that could happen is not actually that bad, you should relax more. Take deep breaths and decide you are going to have fun.

Be honest

When you are on a date, be yourself! This includes being honest and not telling far-fetched yarns to impress your date. The odds are that he will see right through them and wonder why you feel the need to lie in order to impress him. Your life is interesting and everyone has good stories to tell. Just talking about your hobbies and interests is fine for a first date. Avoid prying questions and do not discuss past relationships or anything gloomy. The first date should be light-hearted and fun and telling tall tales will only get you into trouble when your date realizes they were not true.

These are just three helpful tips. The most important thing is to be yourself. If the two of you feel a mutual attraction and interest in one another, there will probably be more dates and who knows? You might even have found yourself a lifetime partner.

Online Dating - The Risks Involved

Although dating can be an exciting time in your life, as it infers whole new beginnings or meeting possible lifetime partners, it can also be a little bit dangerous, as you are essentially putting your trust in a stranger's hands. If you've never even met the person before, such as in a blind date or from an online source, this can be doubly true – therefore, you should take care to approach dating in the right way and be aware of the risks involved.

Online dating can be both good and bad in this respect. The good part comes from the fact that you've usually spoken to the person in length before meeting up, so you have a good idea of what they're like as a person. However, this is also the bad point, as anyone can make up an identity to hide behind online, and it can be far different from reality.

As recent US studies have shown, violent dates are on the rise, especially where younger, adolescent women are involved. With the "knowledge" that they need never see them again, many men are taking advantage of this fact and physically abusing a woman on a date, especially in the area of first dates where there is no prior history. These sad statistics also point out that unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV and others, are on the increase because of these risks.

It's a sad fact, but generally, women are physically weaker than men, and this is attributed to one of the reasons why dating abuse is becoming more widespread. Although it may seem like a good idea at first, since it keeps a certain distance, online dating is one of the ways that this kind of problem is commonly used, as men can pretend to be someone they're not, and then by the time you meet them in person, it's too late. It's to this effect that local governments are recognising this fact and integrating warnings and advice into their crime fighting policies.

One of the ways that online dating has taken off so much is due to the normal heartache that is suffered from the breakdown of a "normal" offline relationship. Many people, especially women, see online dating as a worthwhile alternative – after all, they've not had any success offline so where's the harm in online dating? Yet this is exactly where the dangers can lie, due to world wise people taking advantage of emotionally vulnerable targets.

Like any kind of dating, there is always the potential of being taken for a ride, both financially and emotionally. As long as you go into it with your eyes open, and be aware that not everyone may be who they say they are, then online dating can be as satisfying and fulfilling as any other kind of dating. However, due to the anonymity of it all, you just need to exercise a little bit of extra caution.

Preparing For That Big Date

It is normal to be both excited and nervous when preparing for a big date. The better prepared you are, the more relaxed the date will be for you both.

Try to set the date for a few days away. If you set the date for the following evening you will panic about not being prepared in time. If you set the date too far ahead, you will get very impatient and wish you had not made it so late. And your potential date might meet someone else in the meantime!

Pick a venue, which is relatively informal. If you go somewhere stuffy, you might feel awkward or uncomfortable and that is the last thing you want on a date. A nice place where you can feel at ease is best, perhaps somewhere you have been before so you know what to expect.

A lunch date is a good idea if it is your first date with somebody. If you get along well, you can spend the afternoon together too. A dinner date might be better as a second or third date. A lunch date can still be romantic but a first date is more about getting to know somebody.

Try to look presentable. This includes wearing clean clothes, having clean hair and nails and smelling fresh. Looking scruffy will imply that your date is not worth the effort.

Conversation should be light and flowing. Try not to discuss anything too heavy or depressing. Do not talk about past relationships that went wrong, especially on a first date. Light-hearted chat about work, your hobbies and interests is fine. Don't forget to ask your date questions about their interests too. Remember that silences need not be awkward. If you run out of things to say, don't panic. Just enjoying one another's company is pleasant enough.

The most important thing to remember is not to get stressed. Dates should not be terrifying experiences. Go out expecting to enjoy your date and the odds are that you will have a great time!

4 Seduction Techniques You Must Use in a Conversation

When does seduction start?

The reason I ask this question is because many guys make mistakes when it comes to seduction. They think seduction starts once they're alone with a woman.

The truth is seduction starts long before you're in private with a girl. In fact, it starts during your initial conversation. If you can be seductive from the moment you meet a woman, then you can quickly build attraction and rapport. The end result is you'll find it easier to make things more intimate with a woman.

In this article, you'll learn about 4 specific techniques you MUST use when you first meet a woman. By implementing these secrets, you'll find it'll be easy to put her under your seductive spell.

Seduction Technique #1- Use an interesting and funny opener

To be honest, the first thing you say to a woman sets the tone of the ENTIRE conversation. As a result, you need to use a funny and interesting opener that'll attract her attention

Your goal when you first approach a woman is get a woman talking and make her interested in you. Typically you can accomplish this with an opener that asks her opinion on something. All you have to do is craft an opener which will pique her interest.

The opener can be anything from asking an opinion on your friend's girlfriend trouble all the way to getting her opinion on which type of cologne you use. As long as you do this in a funny manner, you'll at least get her talking.

Seduction Technique #2- Use the cocky/funny technique

Now once you're getting her to talk, you should implement what's widely known as the cocky/funny technique. The idea behind this attitude is act slightly arrogant while finding little things where you can tease her.

While it might seem counterintuitive, cocky/funny is a great technique because you're using humor to establish yourself as an alpha male. And this is done in a non-aggressive way without acting like a jerk.

As long as she's laughing at the things you're saying, cocky/funny is a great way to quickly build attraction and put her under your seductive spell.

Seduction Technique #3- Use questions to find interesting things about her

Repeat after me…

"I will NOT ask her boring questions!"

The logic behind this statement is a lot of guys ask women specific questions which do nothing to build attraction. Typically these 'interview like' questions can include asking about her job or what she likes to do.

Instead of asking these questions, you should focus the conversation on talking about funny topics. You can accomplish by using provocative questions which make her think.

This can include:

"What's the craziest thing you've ever done"

"How would you spend a million dollars"

"How much money would it take for you to sleep with a random stranger"

While these questions may seem a bit childish, there are great for building attraction and getting to know her better.

Seduction Technique #4- Use sexual innuendos in your conversation

The best way to really seduce a woman during your conversation is to use sexual innuendos. Now I don't mean you should start talking about how you want to have sex with this woman. Instead you should interject little comments into the conversation about the topic.

For instance, you can joke about how "she wants you". Or you could mention comments about how she's hitting on you and trying to pick you up for sexual favors.

If you can combine sexual innuendos with cocky/funny you'll quickly steer the conversation towards this topic. Then once this happens, you'll be freely talking about sex, while building physical chemistry.

As you know by now, seduction starts with the first thing you say to a woman. By using these 4 seduction techniques I described in this article, you'll be able to build instant attraction. Then once this happens, you'll find that it's easy to steer the conversation towards becoming intimate.

Having Fun With Dating

Dating is usually an important component to the life of a man or a woman, representing a phase that can tell people a lot about themselves. There are many people, however, that view dating as a sort of neve rending siege that leads from one heartache directly to another. Others still view the dating life as a sort of hunt, looking for the best possible prize at the end. Regardless of the motivation, dating is a unique experience that many people participate in throughout the course of their lives.

Dating can be a fun way to have a new relationship. Many people choose dating in order to get their first taste of what a relationship can be like, allowing the rules of dating to serve as their virtual guide to learning how to act in a relationship and how the rules of dating impact the course of the relationship.

Within the general rules of dating, there exists a variety of protocols in terms of dealing with one another. While some of them can seem like common sense, others are up for some debate. Some of the issues up for debate are, the experience of the "first kiss". Many scholars assert that the first kiss should take place after nothing less than three dates, while still others assert that the first kiss can take place at any time and in any location.

Dating finds its purpose in developing long-term relationships. It serves as marriage preparation in many cases, but in others people date for years without marriage or commitment. Many a locker room joke is made about the different types of women men would want to date versus the different types of women men would want to marry. Apparently the difference carries some weight in the sexual realm as well, as marriage is seen as "settling down" in Western culture.

Nonetheless, for many people there still is a connection between dating and marriage. Some cultures reject the concept of any connection between dating and marriage. People in Indian culture or other Asian cultures believe in a concept called "arranged marriage", which effectively rejects dating altogether. This saves the single person an awful lot of time by simply selecting a suitable mate from a proverbial "pool" of possibilities. An arranged marriage appears to be the easiest way possible to skip the arduous chore of actually having to impress someone and move directly on to the "good stuff".

Dating is very different in terms of cultural relevance, depending on the part of the world and the culture in it. For many, dating is an aspect of life that comes with the territory of finding a suitable mate. For others, dating is a religious experience that relates to finding a spiritual companion. For still others, dating is simply a game to be played. Regardless of the aspects of dating throughout the world's cultures, some form of it exists in all societies.

Description


Dating can be a real "eye-opener" to many people, enlightening them as to their motivations for seeking out a possible mate.

These essential tips are simple so if you are having a hard time asking that special someone out on a date go back to these steps.

1 I will start with the negative first to get it over and done with is what happens if he or she said that dreaded word NO? Personally if they say no it is their loss as far as I'm concerned so do not see it as a kick in the guts to you. See it as they have lost a opportunity of happiness with you so they really are the one you should feel bad for.

2 Be prepared for the destination of the date so when the person said yes give them the details. If you do not know where to go write a list until you can come up with the correct destination.

3 When asking the person out it's better to do it when they are alone then with all their friends nearby.

4 Do not put pressure on a person when asking them out. If they say no so be it.

A Secret Technique to Make Her Always Think of You

There are a lot of great techniques and lessons you can take from neuro-linguistic programming. For instance, you can use a wonderful trick called anchoring.

When you use anchoring on a woman, you take an outside object or emotion and use it to trigger a positive emotion related to you. The goal of anchoring is to take this object and find a way to get her to think of you when you're not around.

Now in order to make her think of you when you're not around, you have to link a shared memory to a positive experience shared by the two of you. Normally this memory is a fun date or a private moment that you had.

Here's a great way to implement this technique into your dating life…

The next time you're with a woman and you hear a popular song on the radio, start singing it...OFF KEY!

Now one of the principles for attraction is to establish yourself as a higher status person. But this is one of those RARE moments when acting like a slightly goofy person can actually help you. By singing a song in a memorable way you'll be acting a funny manner. Furthermore, if you get her join in you'll be having fun while singing badly.

The best part is this technique has helped you create...

A MEMORY!

When you share a currently popular song, you'll increase your chances of having her think of you when you're not around. Since music is an important part of everyone's life, she'll probably hear this song multiple times. And when she does, she'll THINK OF YOU!

By sharing a popular song together, you can have her thinking of you in a positive way. This will then flood her mind with the memory of the fun times you have with her.

Online Married Dating Adventures

Adventure has taken one a new meaning in the emergence of married dating websites. While offline, few would to illicit extramarital affairs, in cyberspace, married dating is actually considered one of the most common norms. A lot of studies have indicated that online dating websites are usually populated with married and not single people. The thing is, some websites have emerged to cater to those particular needs, bringing out the concept of married dating out in the open. What's extremely intriguing about the website is that it already brought out in the open what use to be done in discretion. After having come out in the cyberspace, it was more quickly accepted than most people would care to admit.

One of the things which draw both men and women to engage in married dating online is that it is discreet and hassle-free. One can just satisfy his or her desires with a few clicks of the mouse button and images on the screen. At the outset, it is a very convenient setup for those who are married and looking since they already know right from the very beginning that they are hooking up only in an extramarital setup and most probably, neither one would give up their respective spouses or husbands in favor of whatever might transpire in the married dating game. Most of the people who sign up on these married dating websites are just looking for extra thrills without the responsibility or maintenance of another potentially draining commitment.

Romantic thrills tend to wear off over time between husband and wife, and while most men and women do not want to ruin their reputations just to seek the missing thrill, married dating website owners took advantage of the situation and formed these married dating websites to promote extramarital activity within the bounds of online intimacy. It is clearly up to the people who sign up should they decide to meet up and hook up with their dating prospects online, but usually, the flirtatious innuendos and exchanges through chat are more than enough to satisfy and give excitement to both parties. Also, you will not find many people admitting to have signed up for these married dating services, but looking from the way these websites are earning, you will definitely get the idea that there are a lot of people trying to have their affairs on the side through this newly found vehicle for extramarital bliss.

Infidelity has taken on a new flavor and meaning with the rising popularity of married dating websites. More and more people are signing up for what seems to be harmless hook ups that will provide momentarily amusement and pleasure. Another thing which makes men and women hooked on married dating websites is that you can be simultaneously "dating" more than one person. You just have so many options to choose from and it is fairly easier to gain access to them than trying to look up some fun outside the bounds of the Internet. Furthermore, it is more acceptable to invite someone for a hook up online than approach a random stranger outside and ask him or her if he or she wants to get involved in an extramarital affair.

Some countries have enough leeway on extramarital affairs, such as France, but most are still bounded by cultural tradition and the notion of having a perfect marital relationship which are free from affairs and the like. However, this does not remove the repressed desires of attracting another person aside from his or her married partner. The thing with extramarital relations done via online married dating setups is that it can die down as fast as one finds it. Unlike most offline physical extramarital affairs that have higher risk of wreaking havoc in a family or home, the participants in an online married dating website can just choose to "end the relationship" by clicking the exit button without any explanations or after-effects whatsoever.

Although it sounds convenient and less harmless, the psychological mindset that it's okay to fool around is being promoted by online married dating websites. It is rising to become a form of escape route for those with major marital problems and takes their minds off the real problems in marriage by means of amusing one's self through temporary hook ups.

Make Your Christian Date Fun, Friendly

It's Saturday night and you are excited about your new Christian date. Congratulations! You can set the tone as you meet single Christians who are looking to connect with other Christians in a respectful way. The truth is that dating today is tough. Christians want to honor God in their relationships and society often plays tug-of-war with your values. So, what can you do to ensure that your date time is fun and meaningful, while taking a forward step in building a good Christian dating relationship?

On your first date with a Christian single person, put away fantasies of romance for right now. Focus on starting out as a friend. Friendship is the vital part of a lasting relationship. Couples who have long-term marriages call each other their best friends. So, don't be afraid to start off developing a friendship in dating Christians.

A first date can be a nervous and anxious time. You want your date to think well of you. You want to be safe. You want to have fun. Know what your expectations and emotional state are before you pick up the phone to talk. To become friends, both of you need a to keep a relaxed attitude and schedule a fun activity helps break the tension. There are lots of fun things to do, but especially try to pick an activity that gives you and your date the chance to talk and learn about each other.

If your outing has been "arranged" by a friend, you may need to go with the program and participate in a planned activity. If you can to pick the activity, share what you like to do, find out what your date likes to do, and then compromise where possible. That is what friends do; they respect each other's desires. For example, you might think of attending a public event as a spectator such as a baseball game, a concert, or an art exhibition. Make sure to pay attention to your date's interest in that the event. Find time to talk about what you and your date are experiencing. Smile a lot and listen -- two more attributes of being a friend.

If you don't want to "go solo," you can go to Christian activities, like a church service, a mission project or community picnic. These qualify as a "soft date" which allows you to see your new friend in the light of your Christian faith.

If both of you like playing sports, for go bowling, play golf, croquet, co-ed volleyball or softball, yard games, among others. Team sports allow you to have fun with more people; individual sports give you more time to talk and spend one-on-one time with your Christian date.

Pay attention to the time and seasons of the year. You can plan unique and fun things to do together. During a cold winter day, you may enjoy skiing, ice skating, tobogganing or sledding together. New gardens and flowers appear in Spring. If you love nature, view new gardens and marvel at the Spring flowers. During summer, attend the celebrations and festivals that many cities and villages organize. In autumn, walk through forest preserves and collect or kick leaves together.

Eating out is a common date activity. Share a meal together, be it a carryout pizza or eating Chinese at an upscale restaurant. A meal gives you the time and setting to connect and converse with your date.

Remember, make friendship your first goal during a Christian date. Be patient, kind and more than anything else, be yourself.

Signs of a Cheating Partner

Whether you've been in a relationship for a month or 10 years, the fear of a partner cheating is always there.

You may be thinking, "my lover would never cheat, we have the greatest relationship". Well while you may think that is true your partner may not. We are going to help you with some signs that may indicate your partner is cheating.

One sign of a cheating partner may be a loss or lack of sex drive. Unless you know of any additional stresses from work or family related issues then it could be a sign; well at least sign that he is no longer interested in sex with you. A good way to figure that out is by simply test him. One night make his favorite dinner, rent his favorite movie, and then entice him to the bedroom with a favorite outfit. If he declines or doesn't seem interested then there is a strong chance that he may be cheating.

Another way to figure out if your partner is cheating is if they become defensive. Most people who cheat feel bad, but instead of being extra nice to, they turn aggressive and defensive. If you notice a change in their behavior in a short period of time then it may be a sign of a cheating partner.

If your partner is never around anymore and seems to always come up with excuses such as overtime, which they have never worked before, or if he/she frequently takes spontaneous business trips – there may be something going on.

Is your partner on the computer late at night? Do they receive calls on their cell phone and then leave the room to talk? In the past, receiving excessive phone hang ups was a sure sign of a cheating partner. Today, men and women are smarter; they use their cell phones and/or computers to facilitate their cheating. If you share a cell phone bill with your partner, take a quick glance at the incoming calls. Are there any numbers that you don't recognize? How often do they call those numbers? If you're really curious, why not try calling the number and see who answers it.

The following examples aren't exhaustive by any means, nor are they sure fire signs of a cheating partner. Be careful about how you approach your partner if you suspect something – they may just be stressed out or have to work late, and you don't want to jeopardize your relationship over a whim.

Why Should You Use a Christian Dating Service?

If you have been wondering if an online Christian dating service would be useful to you, you probably have a number of questions in your mind. It seems that Christian online dating services are everywhere. Just type "Christian dating" into Google and hundreds of websites will describe how to approach, date and meet people. Long-standing dating websites, like eHarmony.com and Christiansingles.com, have ironed out the wrinkles of online dating to provide a safe way to connect with Christian singles.

Today's top Christian dating websites support the community of single Christians looking for a life-partner. The owners of these websites take their purpose seriously and have developed a process to identify and communicate your wants, desires, and dislikes. What is unique about using online technology is that you can obtain complete and detailed information about a date, much more quickly than your aunt or church choir director could ever do.

The tools are amazing. Top Christian singles dating sites offer a free personality profile, which is interesting and informative. You answer a series of questions about your dreams, goals, relationship expectations, what you are willing to give to a relationship, your hobbies, interests, background, education and more. Every member of that dating community does the same thing. So with a complete profile, you have a reliable method to search and match other people who are "highly compatible" with you. That provides a solid basis for a relationship with more chances of success than if you had no clue about the person you just met. Of course, you can't experience everything by instant messaging or through e-mail. You still need to meet in person and learn if there is a natural chemistry factor between the two of you.

The limitation of a Christian online dating website is that you have to work hard early to get a proper start. As you fill out a personality profile, you need to really reflect on your answers and be honest about who you are. As you begin an online relationship, you develop matches and start communicating with them. That communication will be somewhat limited. Here are five online dating tips to help use the personality profile match more effectively.

Set your boundaries and be firm about them. Work with the matches for Christian singles that are most appropriate for you. As long as you are true to yourself, you don't need to chase anyone. You can say "no" to someone who is outside your boundaries.

Explore a geographic area that is big enough to get plenty of matches. Near a large city with many suburbs, you can narrow your range dramatically. If you live in a small, rural community however, you will probably need to enlarge the scope of your search.

Be clear about which Christian denominations you will accept. For example, if you are a Lutheran man and you want only to meet other single Lutheran women, set your match for Lutheran. If you are a Catholic woman and you're open to meeting a Catholic, Baptist or Presbyterian man, mark that down.

Think about the ages of the people you would like to meet and date. You can always adjust the age range up or down to get additional matches. Most sites match you with people whose age ranges overlap with yours. If you are a single Christian woman under 30, think what life would be like in 20 years if you date and marry a 55 year old man.

Lastly, persist and be patient. Love does not occur immediately - online or at home. Explore the possibilities of those people who match you. Learn as much as you can about them. Your diligence will pay off when you find a perfect match through a Christian dating service.

When A Woman You Just Met Lives To Far Away To Keep Her Interested

Question From A Reader:

I met this girl the other night and she lives a few hours away; but she is a really cool girl and we have stuff in common like music tastes. She lives too far away to see more than once a month if that; and I don't know if I could hold her interest like that.

What do you think?

Answer:

I don't know if you can hold her interest like that either as it really depends on her.

What you should do is continue going out and having a good time and act as if you aren't going to be able to hold her interest.

When the time comes where you might find yourself in the town that she lives in, give her a call and see what's up.

Her being a really cool girl, who has the same musical taste as you, does not mean much given the distance between the two of you.

Once a month isn't much time to be with a person you just met, which means that both parties will have to use their imagination more than living in reality to keep interest levels high.

Looking over your question it amazes me how you know you don't know if you could hold her interest yet don't question if she will be able to hold your interest as well; which needs to be your main concern, instead of worrying about things you can't control.

It is important that you realize your interest level and happiness are the only things you can or should focus on right now.

Otherwise you might find yourself holding the interest of a woman who under any other circumstance you would have lost interest in a long time ago.

How to Break Up with Her Using Sensitivity

Breaking up is always hard to take for anyone who is in a relationship. No one likes the feeling of being dumped, but break-ups are an unavoidable part of our lives. For you guys out there, it is very important to end a relationship properly to avoid future bad relationship karma.

1. Do it in person. To initial a break-up over the phone to her is harsh. Meet up with her and explain why the relationship between you and her does not work out.

2. Pick an appropriate place. Remember, ending a relationship is a humbling experience. Don't do it in a place where the person on the receiving end is going to feel more vulnerable than necessary.

3. Choose the right time. Try not to break up with her on special occasion or festive period, as you will not want her to remember you being so insensitive when every time that day rolls around.

4. Be honest. Tell her what does not work out. Let her understand that she will need to accept the truth and move on but do it in a sensitive way.

5. Keep your emotions in check. Don't seem too happy about the breakup: you'll come off as mean-spirited. Just be kind, caring, and considerate.

6. Don't over- react. Some people don't handle rejection well. Some people yell, scream, and cry. Do not react to their meltdown. Remember, rejection is tough. You've already got the upper hand by being the dumper. Let the dumpee behave ridiculously if they choose to. And if their tantrum escalates, get the heck out of there.

If you handle yourself well during the breakup, chances are you'll avoid any hard feelings with your ex. And while that may not seem so important at the time, it's vital to your future relationship karma!
