A Guide to Free Online Dating Services

A Guide to Free Online Dating Services was written by Dave Poon and he writes "Chances are, if you are interested in this topic, you are single, lonesome, and looking for your soulmate. Perhaps you’re tired of trying to meet people to date at work, in malls, at the supermarket or wherever it is that you go during your leisure time. Maybe it is time for you to try free online dating services.

There are numerous websites that provide free online dating services but not all of them deliver on their promises. As is true with all online services, you have to take their statements with a grain of salt. But if you happen to find a good dating service, the rewards can be significant since this will literally open millions of doors (and hearts) to you.

The key to surviving the online dating game is to enter it cautiously. You can’t seriously expect whoever it is you choose to date to fall head over heels in love with you from the first email (unless you happen to get lucky – in which case, congratulations!) But if you are like most online daters, the process for you will take time, energy and patience..

The nice thing about some paying sites is that they offer a free trial period before you spend a single cent on their service. Other sites are completely free but deluge you with advertisements. So you have to pick and choose.

It is normal to be slightly apprehensive before entering into online dating. But the practice is becoming more and more acceptable since not everyone has the financial resources or the time to keep socializing via the regular route. People now want increased control over their dating habits.

Online dating is easier than regular dating because you get to choose who you want to converse with and when. There is more variety to choose from, and frequently you can already read what your online partner likes or dislikes. So it is easier to select individuals you can share your interests with.

You get to know another person’s personality via email and phone without having to spend on going out at all.

And if you do not like the person you are talking to? Just log off and turn off your computer. Or hang up the phone. It’s that simple.

According to one website, more than $300 million goes towards online dating in the United States alone. That is expected to increase to $600 million in the near future. More than 700 dating sites now exist online, with new ones being set up weekly.

As Internet access becomes faster and it becomes easier to navigate online, more and more people are choosing to socialize on the Internet. You do not even have to be considering a serious relationship yet when you join the fun – some people just want to meet new people and make new friends.

How do you guarantee that you will make a connection through online dating? Well, you have to be honest about your motives from the start – people will eventually find out the truth about you anyway. Build a quality profile online which will help show viewers and readers of the level of your interest in dating.

Post one of your better-looking photos, one of the more flattering ones. This will help whoever’s watching to get a realistic idea of what you look like.

When scanning profiles set by other people, try to select individuals who are interested in the same kind of relationship. If you are searching for someone to have a serious relationship with, do not answer ads for those who are just looking for a good time.

After you have connected with someone online, do not give in to the temptation of rushing into an in-person date yet. Try to talk to the person you have met online via the telephone at least one or two times before setting up a face-to-face meeting. This will help you two to get to know one another better.

And that is it! You are ready to dive in and take advantage of the many free online dating sites out there. Take care and enjoy!

The Many Benefits of an Online Dating Service

The Many Benefits of an Online Dating Service was written by Jay Moncliff and writes "Using an online dating service to find dates was once frowned upon and even considered scary. However, times have changed and so have the amount of people who not only approve of using an online dating service but the amount of people actually using an online dating service! Amazingly, the invention of the online dating service has gotten people out and about and dating again. If you are looking for a date, but still are a bit skeptical about using an online dating service, consider the following benefits an online dating service can provide.

Online Dating Service Benefit #1 Anonymity

You can upload a picture to your online dating service if you want, but it is not required. You will get more responses from other members of your online dating service, though, if you provide a picture. However, you will never be required to divulge your address, e-mail or phone number to any other user of the online dating service unless you desire to do so. Because of this, you can surf the available singles on the online dating service completely anonymous..

Online Dating Service Benefit #2 Choices

There are an unbelievable amount of singles that use an online dating service. Because of this, you get to review all of the available singles at your leisure and evaluating the information provided. This gives you significant information about a person’s likes and dislikes and whether you might hit it off or definitely not. By reviewing this information you are significantly ahead of the game as compared to simply meeting someone on the street or in a bar. With the online dating service you know what a person is about before you ever contact them.

Online Dating Service Benefit #3 Secure

Your online dating service will never divulge your personal information and you will have the security of blocking any user that is bothering you. If for instance a particular online dating service user sends you threatening e-mails or makes you feel uncomfortable you can simply report them and have their account revoked and at the very least block them from contacting you. This type of security is not available in real life, unfortunately, but it is through your online dating service.

Dating Advice: Three Mistakes to Avoid When Writing an Online Dating Service Profile

Chris Fox has written 'Dating Advice: Three Mistakes to Avoid When Writing an Online Dating Service Profile' and writes "After four years of reading more than 10,000 profiles of men and women looking for a partner through online dating services, I've laughed at my fair share of poorly written introductions.

Of those 10,000 online dating service profiles, no more than a dozen captured my attention enough to make the first move. I'm sure that you want to get lots of responses to your online dating service advertisement, or else why would you bother joining a site, and paying a small fee to meet new people? If that is the case, then make sure you avoid the following three mistakes at all costs:

Dating Advice Point 1. “I'm the One Your Mother Warned You About”

This is, from my research anyway, the most overused sentence in an opening line for online dating service profiles. True, it's the generic choice of some of the larger sites (such as Lavalife or True) - if your profile is awaiting approval, this tag line may show up while waiting for the a-okay. To avoid this, come up with something a bit more original and unique. Bu what if you aren't sure what that may be? Well, it's not hard to take a look at your competition in the online dating service field, so why not do a quick search and see what everyone else is doing? Reading other people's description of themselves may just get your creative juices flowing. At the very least, it'll show you what everyone else is saying about themselves - and what key phrases and words you should therefore avoid in turn.

Dating Advice Point 2. “I Might Be the One you're Looking For”

This may be the case. However, by using this combination of words anywhere in your online dating service profile, you aren't telling me, or any other potential suitor, anything new.

What this line does say to someone checking you out is that the online dating service profiler didn't do a lot of thinking about how they wanted to present themselves. Tell people what gets your eyes twinkling or what REALLY gets you up in the morning - and don't say it's your alarm clock, either. Now is the time to let your passions really shine through.

Dating Advice Point 3. Glaring Spelling or Grammatical Mistakes

This tip may seem childish, or trite - but it's of the utmost importance. While chatting with someone online, you may have some fast typing or spelling mistakes that a potential suitor may find annoying. But until you get to that stage with someone, NO ONE should know that you've got dyslexia, or just can't spell worth beans.

It shows a lot to a potential suitor while they peruse the online dating services that someone has taken the time to spell check their document. Hell, get a friend to read over it for you if need be in case you've missed something important. But if you cannot take the time to write something legible, most people perusing the online dating service websites will assume you won't have time to bother doing other, more important small tasks. And when you only have a couple of seconds to make that first impression before someone clicks on another person - every single details counts.

Is That Online Dating Service The One

Jason King has written 'Is That Online Dating Service The One' and writes "You’re lucky enough to be living in a time where there are thousands of online dating services at the click of your mouse. You post your profile on a web site, and it is put in front of thousands of singles living in your area. Worldwide you will have millions of singles able to get in contact with you because you made the choice to stop being single.

The downside of having so many services at your fingertips is not knowing which dating service to go with. This is probably the number one thing that in the end puts singles off of trying to find romance online. Picking the right dating web site at the start of your search for love will reap it’s rewards for you.

Every dating web site will have a some sort of free trial. With this in mind it will not matter if you post your profile on more than one service. So you need to find out which services to post your profile..

First thing to do will be read some online reviews. After you have been to a few review sites you will get the idea of what are the most popular services around. The most popular dating services will have more than one web site. Each of these will cater for a different group of singles covering religions, sexual orientations, lifestyles and more. You may fall into one of these categories so it will be important to do your homework and find the one that suits you best.

After posting your profile you will need to get as active as possible. This way you’ll find out how popular the service is, and you’ll find out if there are enough compatible singles living in the area of your search. It won’t be any good just posting your profile then waiting for other singles to contact you. You can use flirts and smiles on your trial period but you’re not really going to get any replies to a pre-written message. If you’re going to start contacting other singles you need to upgrade your membership so you can send some personalized e-mails. This is why it’s important to give the dating service a good test before you pay for your premium membership.

The next thing you will want to make sure of is all the features on the web site. If you want to see another single on a web cam or start a blog you will want to know before hand about these features. Blogs can aid you in your search for someone as it gives you another way of putting your profile in front of more singles that otherwise wouldn’t have seen it.

When you have given a few services a test you should have a good idea of what one you’ll pay for an upgrade. This will not be expensive, and one months membership is usually less than the price of a night out. So even if you make the wrong choice it will not cost you much. You will get further discounts when you pay for 3, 6 or 12 months in advance. A good service will usually give you 6 months for the price of 3 if you pay up front.

Once you have found the dating service that has the popularity you need, and all the features and benefits you need you’ll be well on your way to finding a partner.

Choosing The Best Online Dating Service

Choosing The Best Online Dating Service was written by George Wood and he writes "There are so many dating services online that sometimes it becomes difficult to decide which one you should make a profile on. All of them have some unique features characteristic of them. You have to prioritize your needs and then decide which one will be the best. This article will help you out in selecting the best dating site for you.

The most common and effective way to choose the best dating site is to seek recommendations. Ask your friends and colleagues who have had good experiences on some particular sites. Take some time to visit those sites and see if they catch your eye. You can also start off by searching for good online dating sites and read user reviews and comments about them. If these sites require you to sign up for an account, then make a short profile and take your time browsing through the main features..

Most of the sites let you limit your search based on sexual preference, age, country, race, religion etc. If these are your priorities then try to find some sites which offer these discriminations on their search method. Some sites which are extremely popular among people are not for free. If you have planned to spend money on online dating sites then look out for the ones that charge some fee from their members. These sites have great features and applications to offer to their registered members.

Dating sites also differ in the way they allow their members to contact with each other. Some allow emails, some allow instant messages and comments and some allow both. Other features may include blogging, interactive albums and video uploading facilities. Try out some sites by simply browsing through profiles as a guest. Sometimes some profiles catch your eye and you want to leave them a message there and then. Make a profile for that matter and see if you get some responses.

Some sites have the feature of sending emails to their members informing about potential matches. If you don’t have time to browse through all the profiles that meet your search criteria, then simply make a profile and wait for the site administration to contact you.

Don’t forget that your goal is to make new friends and eventually find dates for future relationships. Make as many profiles as you want just to be satisfied and ensure yourself that you are not missing out on something interesting. Watch out for spammers and fakers and don’t give out your personal information on your profile.

By prioritizing your needs and looking at your budget, find the best dating site for yourself and enjoy the unlimited benefits associated with it for a long time to come!

BBW Online Dating Services

BBW Online Dating Services was written by Jason King and he writes "BBW online dating services are becoming an above average niche in the internet dating scene. And the reason is men in general are getting tired of stick thin women. They want something they can cuddle on those cozy nights in.

The Women you will meet at these services aren’t all huge, they just have curves. They’re real women, how they’re suppose to be, and that’s the reason more single men are turning to BBW dating web sites. Also at these services you will find BHM ( Big Handsome Men ) and FA’s ( Fat Admirers ). This is just an online dating niche that makes it a lot easier for plus sized singles to find their soul mates. You won’t only find love connections at these services you’ll also find lots of friends.

If you’re serious about meeting a Big Beautiful Woman, or you are a BBW who’s looking for a BHM then you will need a popular reliable BBW online dating service. You just need to read a few reviews online, and from them you should be able to decide what service you think is the right service for you..

Once you have chosen your service you just need to then create your profile. Put as much detail into this as possible, and make sure it’s all positive. The next thing is a nice clear photo on your dating profile. Doing this will get you a lot more clicks, and that’s just what you want. The more clicks you get saves you searching all the time for potential partners. Although women get a far higher number of clicks on their profiles men do too. All you have to do is make your profile stand out from the rest of them.

Your next move will be to contact another single. When you first join a BBW online dating service you will be using your free account. With this you can usually send flirts that are pre-written messages that you can choose from a list. Although these are good for letting someone know you like them you can’t beat a personal e-mail. You will be able to send e-mails to other singles when you have upgraded your membership. With this you can mention the things that liked in the recipients profile. This will give you a much better chance of getting a reply.

With a bit of dedication after all this you should have found yourself a BBW, BHM or FA at your favorite BBW online dating service. Then you can go on your first date with someone you met online.

The Pros and Cons of Online Dating Service

The Pros and Cons of Online Dating Service was written by Dave Poon and he writes "Online Dating Service is one way to find love or a partner in life. It is a community where people from different places meet online and get the chance to communicate with each other. This is a convenient way for you to get to know a person whom you might be interested with.

You can easily find an online dating service that suits your needs. Some of the popular dating services are Yahoo Personals, Match.com, eHarmony, Perfect Match, American Singles, Lavalife, Date.com and FriendFinder. Each site offers unique services for you to meet other people all over the world and establish good relationship with them. From there, you may find a prospect partner in life.

If you plan to join an online dating service, it is important that you are aware its advantages and disadvantages. Below are things you have to consider before engaging into online dating..

The Advantages of Participating in Online Dating Service (PROS)

Convenient, Fast and Easy
Internet is a convenient place for you to get in touch with another person. If you want to show your interest with someone, you can just email them or chat with them if they are online. This saves your more time unlike those old days wherein your need to send snail mail to your penpals.

Also, you can easily get information about a person through the online dating service. You can investigate more about the person before you actually meet them face to face. If you found out that you have differences and you just don’t agree on many things, then you can easily break the connection between the two of you.

Inexpensive
Everybody has internet nowadays because it has been part of our basic needs. So if you have an internet connection then getting an online dating service is a cheap way to meet a love one or a prospect partner in life. Many companies provide free services for online dating. Thus, you can save a lot of money compared to really dating a person during the get-to-know stage. Instead of buying cards, you can send him/her an ecard or simply send a note via email. And you can just have chit-chat all day instead of going out on a restaurant and spending a couple of dollars.

Safe
Most online dating services incorporate safety and security in their service agreement. This means that the identifiable information you can give about yourself is controllable or limited.

The Disadvantages of Online Dating (CONS)

Dishonesty
Some people may not provide accurate information about themselves and some may even break their promises. They are not afraid that you can get back on them because they can easily change their contact information or identity on the internet.

Unreal
The love or any feeling you have towards a person maybe unreal because you haven’t really met the person. You may have a good relationship online but when you meet face to face, there is a possibility that the chemistry is not there. This will be one of the risks because you have to distinguish fantasy from reality. Since the process is usually fast, intimacy may not be felt or may not last that long.

Security
While it has been discussed that participating in an online dating service is safe, there is also an accompanying risk when it comes to meeting people you really do not know. Some may even harass or harm you once you put your trust on them. This can even be traumatic to others.

Remember to take extra care when looking for the appropriate online dating service that can cater your needs. Then, accompany your search with good common sense and judgment to minimize the risk involved when participating in online dating service. This way you can have a safe, fun and enjoyable online relationship.

It is like looking for a needle in haystack. This is because not one online dating service could really make claim to the best online dating site. Choosing the best online dating site will depend on a number of factors and on the person casting the vote. Plus the fact that there are thousands of online dating services all over the net, it is definitely hard to compare them one by one.

Online dating services are traditional dating companies that have moved and expanded to the online service of providing dating services to the public via the internet. These online dating service providers allow for a database of potential relationships with like minded people to grow.

Professional online dating service is done via real time chat, emailing, profiling and telephone access dependant on the clients’ choices.

First Date Tips for Women who Use Online Dating Services

First Date Tips for Women who Use Online Dating Services was written by Tanya Wiseman and she writes "What if he is not what I am looking for? What if he looks different then on the picture from online dating service? What if he is just playing games, and just trying to get it on with me? Even though, we met online through the online dating service, and had a really nice conversation via e-mail, and IM; and find that still meeting someone for the first time is nerve-racking! All these are legitimate concerns, we women have before we actually meet someone outside, offline

First, you need to psychology prepare yourself in to this first encounter with the person you’ve met online. To feel very comfortable, no matter what happens on the date you must prepare yourself. If your mental and emotional state is prepare this will be very important, it will lead the date to success or failure. If you are positive, happy and confident, you will definitely get winning points with the guy! Also, it’s good to be friendly and funny (if you are those things!); it breaks the ice on your first meeting, and sets the mood for the rest of the evening. Try to put all your bad dates from the past online dating experience on hold, or on the top shelf somewhere; do not punish the guy for all of yours unsuccessful blind dates!.

So, when you are ready psychologically, the nest step is how you look! It is important; of course to look your best on the first date, since the first impression, is usually the last…Put on your best and sexiest attire, attractive but not too revealing; As the saying goes” leave some things to his imagination”. It’s best to put something on that makes you feel look good and sexy, like dress or nice pens with the sexy top. When applying the make up, always highlight you best features, and use the make up wisely. There are two types of make up: daily and evening. The daily one is very simple, and usually consists of some light color lipstick, sheer powder and perhaps some mascara. The evening make is more subtle and pronounced. However, some women overestimate the power of the evening, by putting way too much make up, trying to cover up some imperfections, and bring attention by using too much color. Not a good idea; you do not want to look like a clown.If you are not sure if you are using too much make up, call your female friends, and see what they think. You should put just enough to enhance your face characteristics and Features; like eyes and lips; it is always the best to go with more natural colors, like brown and beige. Of course, it all depends on your skin complexion, so make a good judgment yourself.

When you arrive on the date, please be on time. We expect the guys be punctual, so we should be doing the same. It is very impolite and rude to be late, especially because you never met this person, and you can make him feel like you do not care! It’s best to meet somewhere half way, so you both feel comfortable and fare. Choose the place wisely, meet somewhere in the bar area of the restaurant or a launch for a casual drink, so it doesn’t not feel like an obligation if you do not click with this person in real life, and you do not end up having dinner, and tortured yourself through the meal.

If the conversation sparks right away, especially considering that your guys already clicked online, and you feel mutual attraction, comfort and excitement; move your date further to a dinner. The good way to start a conversation would be a topic you left off while chatting online, and then move on to the rest of the usual first date subjects. Try to stay in present moment, do not try to escape in to your past, getting carried away in to your previous relationships. Be less judgmental, and more receptive and open. Try to listen and participate in the conversation; do not get in to lectures and philosophies…Do not try to overpower your point in the conversation, it’s not a competition.

Also, do not try to figure everything out about this person (men) all on the same night; give him also some time to open up, and take one step at the time. There will be another date. And most importantly, do not overanalyze him and his life; he did not come down from the moon, and he’s obviously had prior life before you, so do not stress yourself out
about things that happened before you met online dating service. Just go with the flow, and let things happen naturally…If there is chemistry, it will all work out, and there will be a second successful date!

If your date is paying for your drinks and for your dinner, it’s nice to thank him, and perhaps buy him a drink, as a nice gesture to show that you really appreciated his kindness! End the night with a nice hug and may be a kiss (whatever you feel like at the moment), another thank you for the evening would be appropriate!
Good luck to you,

Online Dating Tips Joining Online Dating Services

Online Dating Tips Joining Online Dating Services was written by John Tiniakos and he writes "Online dating is quickly becoming a large virtual meeting place for singles from all walks of life. Because of today's fast paced society coupled with the growing number of Internet users, online dating offers a logical, convenient and inexpensive way for singles wanting to meet, chat or interact.

More and more singles are finding real relationships, with minimal risk and only a small investment of their time - some of which end up in marriage.

Online Dating Tips:

Begin slowly

- Be on guard when someone seems too good to be true.

- Start communicating by text messaging or email first.

Protect Your Anonymity

- Don't give out your last name, your real email address, home address, workplace, or any identifying info from your profile. Make sure your email signature file doesn't contain any identifying info or is turned off..

- Stop talking to anyone who keeps insisting you give him this info.

- Take as much time as is required to feel comfortable with someone before you give out any personal info.

- Ask as many questions as you like and be sure you are satisfied with the replies.

- Go with your gut instinct; move slowly and wisely; you can be as selective as you like.

- Cautious decisions that are well thought out will usually produce more favorable results in online dating.

- Be careful not to trust someone that is not worthy of your trust. A suitor must earn you trust by being honorable and up-front on a consistent basis.

- Be responsible with your online (dating) behavior and romances. Don't rush into premature intimacy with someone online – take your time.

Although these precautions may sound a little scary, they are not meant to discourage you at all from online dating. However, these measures should be taken to protect your privacy, so that your personal information doesn’t get into the wrong hands.

Ask For A Photograph

- A photo will give you a good idea on the appearance of the person and adds another dimension to your perception of them. Most online dating sites allow you to upload pictures. Seeing several pictures of the subject in different settings and angles is even better. If they aren't willing to provide a picture it means they have something to hide.

Talk On the Telephone

A telephone conversation can show you a person's communication skills and give you a better feel of their character. Be sure, however not to give your phone number to a stranger. Block your caller ID, or use a pay phone initially. Only reveal your telephone number when you feel completely at ease with the person.

By following these precautions you will be better prepared to actually go out on a physical date when you feel you are ready.

How to Make a Great Profile for Online Dating Service

How to Make a Great Profile for Online Dating Service was written by George Wood and he writes "While browsing through hundreds of dating profiles online, I came across so many of them that were just a waste of space. What do these people want? I would often end up feeling at a loss. Sometimes after reading so many useless profiles, I forget what I was actually looking for. People tend to make the same mistakes over and over again. In reality, what they’re doing is wasting their own time as well as others who are seriously looking for ideal partners. In this article we will explore some great tips to make an attractive and valuable dating profile that is sure to get you hundreds of responses.

First of all, don’t get overwhelmed with so many profiles around and so many catchy sentences written in almost all of them. Just sit back, relax and ponder over what you really want and why you are here. Use your imagination and start off with a statement that clearly describes your personality. You don’t need to write an overused tag line here. Instead, try to think of something nobody has ever used before and that expresses your true character..

Many people like to hide their original names while making online dating profiles. Fair enough, no harm in that. But while choosing a screen name, make sure you don’t use a commonplace, ordinary and unattractive one that is not going to get anyone’s attention. Try to make it a creative one. Use some words form your favorite movie or something else you’re fond of. Make your name be the first one to tell others about your personality.

Avoid grammar mistakes. It leaves a very bad impression on people searching for profiles that you can’t even take a few minutes out of your time to review what you have written to attract others. This might prove to be a negative aspect of your personality and show how careless you really are.

If you are required to write only a limited number of words, then use all of the space provided to you. Be expressive but don’t repeat yourself over and over just to fill in the entire space. If you can’t think of many sentences, then just make it a bit colorful and stylish by adding asterisks or other special characters to draw other people’s attention to your profile.

People often browse through dating profiles by just looking at pictures and moving on if they don’t like them. Don’t post a picture that shows too much, or make you look over-confident or proud. Have a picture composed of a only a few colors and shows your humble self in just the right way.

Follow these simple steps to make an online dating service profile that is sure to get just about anyone’s attention!

Benefits Of Online Dating Services

Benefits Of Online Dating Services was written by Collins Deconle and he writes "The online dating service is one of the newer entrants on the match making scene. It is a modern, organized approach to meeting people. Try to type in "online dating" or "online dating service" in any of the main search engines and you'll get millions of related pages in the results.

An online dating service is a community of people who get together to socialize and get to know each other. It no longer has the stigma attached to it that it used to have many years ago.

Using online dating services is now an accepted way of meeting people, whether for friendship or for romance. One of the greatest things about online dating is that you can specify the exact type of person you are looking for..

Some online dating services are run by subscription. As a participant, you are required to file an application. If you meet the guideline set by the online dating service, then you are selected.

There are a lot of online dating services on the internet. A few selected online dating services prescreen their members before they join.

Before you start looking for the online dating service that is right for you, you have to decide how you want to go about it. You have two options.

You can type in your requested dating site in one of the main search engines. Then you will have to research many dating sites, until you find the one that caters to your needs.

Another option will be using online services which compare the online dating services and rank them relatively. In other words, these services have already done the research and made recommendations.

The second option can save you time. The reviews will quickly give you an idea about the services each dating service offers.

If you are thinking about going through a dating service of one kind or another you should definitely consider going through an online dating service. However, before you join any of these types of services you should take your time and find out what's going on and how to make the right choice in your particular case.

Internet Dating Services

Internet Dating Services was written by Eddie Tobey and he writes "There are several sites that offer online dating services. These sites vary depending on the personality of the person or depending on whom that person would like to meet. These sites offer endless match making scenarios for dating, love and romance, soul mates and friendship.

Single people are the group that avail of the services of an online dating service the most. Some people have a hard time reaching out to other people physically; online dating offers them the opportunity to meet a potential match by simply online correspondence. Online dating allows a person to open up without feeling that they are being judged before others get to know them.

Internet dating services allow people to meet others online by easily browsing through profiles. Once they have found someone they are interested, the interested party can send an anonymous communication to the other party. It eliminates, if not reduces, the fear of rejection and social awkwardness. And, no matter where the person comes from, there’s always someone out there who is compatible. It is common to meet someone from another country, because the problem of distance is easily mitigated. Group dates can also be arranged if the parties involved are not comfortable meeting alone..

However, if there are pros in the services offered by Internet dating, there are also cons. Since the parties involved do not really see each other at first, there’s a chance that people can misrepresent themselves. This means they can lie about their age, social and marital status, religion and physical attributes. If a picture is not posted, some tend to exaggerate their physical attributes, thus ruining the purpose of having a sincere and honest friendship. Not all communications that are sent out are answered. This is a reason why some choose to lie about their appearance just to get noticed. It can also be very time consuming as people tend to spend a lot of their time browsing or updating their profile instead of just going out and meeting other people.

Common sense as always is a must whenever dealing with the unknown. Remember, only you have the power to choose who is best for you. Use this power wisely in Internet dating and also in the real world.

Internet Dating provides detailed information on Internet Dating, Internet Dating Services, Internet Dating Online, Christian Internet Dating and more. Internet Dating is affiliated with Free Dating Services.

Christian Dating Service and Dating Services

Christian Dating Service and Dating Services was written by christianet.com and they writes "A Christian dating service can help single Christians meet one another and find companionship that is based on Christian principles and foundations. A Christian dating service can help thousands of Christians meet, and sometimes marry, others who share their values and faith. The Internet is an incredible access point for those looking into dating services. Now, most dating services begin with online applications and postings, letting email be the beginning point of a contact. Not every Christian dating service has the same philosophy, and not all dating services truly have a member's best interest at heart, but, with some research and investigating, signing up with a Christian dating service can bring new friends and a potential partner into a single's life.

Online, through the Internet there are a myriad of dating services. A Christian dating service is a service that has members who profess to be Christians, practicing the Christian faith of belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Timeless faith is a common thread among Christian believers. Most Christians feel that to make a relationship successful, the common ground of faith in Christ is essential. Close relationships and marital bonds simply cannot happen without it. Dating services throughout the Internet are experiencing a high success rate, and Christian dating service providers are among those successes. With our fast pace society, and the wide open market that the Internet brings into our lives, Christian dating companies online seem to be the answer for the Christian singles scene..

There are cautions to be heeded when searching for dating services. This caution can apply to a Christian dating service as well. Many dating services charge costly fees, and make promises that cannot be kept. Also, the danger of meeting someone with ill intentions can always be a factor, when agreeing to meet a person in person. Selecting dating services that do background checks, or verify information will be best, and still, always use extreme caution when planning to meet a person you have only met via chatting online. Research and investigate a Christian dating service before paying for any membership fees or before receiving potential companion's emails.

A Christian dating service can provide needed friendships and relationships of support. Expanding our friendships and Christian fellowship around the globe is a good thing. However, God always has a plan for our future in an active status. While He may use dating services to introduce you to your future mate, a Christian dating service should not be seen as a way to fast forward God's plans. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (Jeremiah 29:11) Use balanced and good judgment when seeking friends online with dating services.

Kissing Girls Made Easy

Kissing Girls Made Easy was written by James Brito and he writes "Kissing girls: It's meant to be fun. If you're nervous about kissing women, or see it as only a gateway towards sex, you're missing out. In fact, the more you take your time with kissing and truly enjoy it, the more chances you have of enjoying physical intimacy with a girl. So let me show you how to kiss girls--and enjoy it!

If you've never kissed before, the best thing you can possibly do is RELAX. It isn't a big deal if you muck up your first kiss! Girls are very understanding, and you can actually laugh about it. I know so many couples who joke about their first kiss. The first kiss most people have is an awkward one, so girls will forgive you if it's not perfect!

Next, learn proper kissing technique. That means knowing how to move in for the kiss, controlling your tempo, kissing for affection, and kissing for intimacy. There are lots of websites out there, but I like this site the best for kissing girls the RIGHT ways. You'll get pictures and everything about what's right and what's wrong..

I'm going to cover two particular areas of kissing in this column: kissing for affection, and kissing for intimacy. First let's talk about kissing for intimacy. Say you're on a date and want to move things to the next level. The best way to do it is to talk about how you'd like to kiss her. As one guru, Craig, says, "Talking about sex is the first step towards having it." Likewise, talking about kissing is the first step towards actual kissing. It will relax both of you and, if said in a relaxed, confident, NOT desperate tone, can really excite a girl. Once you do get to kissing, kiss with passion: don't half-job it! Use your arms, your body: press into her, touch her face with your hands, stroke her hair. All these things show you're serious about intimacy and want her in the worst way.

If she pulls in, you're doing great. Pulls back, just slow it down. Just because she doesn't do it with the same passion as you doesn't mean she wants it. A lot of times girls want to take things slower than guys. That's fine: match her tempo. Kiss her on the neck, the cheeks, all over. Eventually that will warm her up. When she starts to get into it (moaning, moving closer to you, grabbing you back), you can start kissing her in her erogenous zones all over the body. Remember, kissing isn't just on the lips! If you really want to get intimate, kiss her below the neck--on her thighs, on her hips (very sensitive area!) and even on her feet. Not to mention the obvious areas. :) This should guarantee you a great night.

But kissing doesn't end with sex! Too many guys make that mistake. Sex is only the BEGINNING of the kissing stage! As you're performing, remember to kiss her all over her body, particularly on the neck and breasts. Show that you're not interested just in a quick act--you want to be passionate and intimate, as well. Kissing achieves this purpose, and will make the girl eager to do it again!

For affection, kissing is the best. As I say in my e-book and audio articles, women LOVE surprises, so nothing shows you love your girlfriend (or wife) like a surprise, spontaneous kiss out of nowhere! She'll love it, and thank you for it. She'll also reward you for it, by staying with you and treating you great. Happy wife, happy life! The same goes with girlfriends. Don't be surprised if she starts bringing you breakfast in bed, buying you presents, acting a lot nicer, when you give her lots of kisses out of nowhere, just to remind her that you love her. This works!

Remember, kissing is meant to be FUN. Once you see the fun and enjoyable side of kissing, you'll surely want more and more. As an old Chinese proverb goes, "Kissing is like drinking tea with a tea strainer: you can never get enough."

Speed Dating Validates the Theory of Love at First Sight

Speed Dating Validates the Theory of Love at First Sight was written by Terry Ross and she writes "Speed dating is going from strength to strength as it becomes a popular way of finding a partner, making friends and having fun. The number of successful relationships, whirl wind romances and fairytale weddings are adding credance to the theory of 'love at first sight' and speed dating is proving to be the answer to many peoples dreams.

If you have not come across speed dating before, in short, it is a formulized way of dating, with the general idea being that a group of people are bought together, half are seated in individual areas (either the men or the women) and then potential partners are rotated, from room to room, with less than ten minutes to meet each new person..

Those who support speed dating say it is an interesting and quick way of finding the perfect partner with their first impressions usually being correct.

Those who hate having to sit through endless boring evenings with people with who you have nothing in common find speed dating to be an excellent way of meeting new people, gaining confidence and learning how to attract and seduce potential partners from the moment they step into the room.

At the end of each event the speed daters provide the organizers with a list of participants who they would like to be provided with their details. Contact details cannot be exchanged during the initial meeting between the speed daters which avoids undue pressure on individuals and totally eliminates the possible embarrassment of having to tell someone they aren’t for you.

Studies have concluded that first impressions are usually correct and that the speed dating concept, which offers just a few minutes for participants to make a decision, is well grounded. Others condemn speed dating, considering it to be more in keeping with the animal world.

Whatever the scientific opinions, it has to be said that speed dating is gaining popularity and taking many major cities by storm. It certainly has many advantages over other dating methods especially for those who lack confidence, have limited time, hate long dull evenings, like to meet lots of new people or just want to find that perfect match as quickly as possible.

If you are looking for a partner just give speed dating a go, as with on line dating, at worst you’ll have an entertaining evening and at best you could find the answer to your dreams.

Win Her Heart With Romantic Gift Ideas

Win Her Heart With Romantic Gift Ideas was written by Desmond Ong and he writes "Does your significant other cry at goofy commercials? Does she beg you to take her to every romantic comedy that comes out in the theatres? Can you absolutely count on the fact that she will always remember every date that has even the slightest significance in your relationship?

Uh-oh. Sounds like you are in serious need of some romantic gift ideas.

Don't panic! We've listed some of the best ones around below.

Tattoos

Quick! What's the best way to show her that you'll be around forever? By putting her name in a tattoo on your body, of course. She will quiver with delight as you show her where you put her name-forever. Not quite feeling confident enough to permanently write her name on your body? There are sets of temporary tattoos that include letters (for her name), along with romantic phrases. This one is hard to beat as a romantic gift idea!.

Puzzles

Do you want to romance and intrigue your love all at once? Consider creating a special message just for her, and then having it made into a puzzle. This romantic gift idea can be done in several ways. You can make the puzzle with larger pieces, so that it's more fun, or you could really challenge her and make a 100 piece or more puzzles! To really take her breath away, offer to massage her shoulders while she's putting it together!

Perfume

When not just any perfume will do, why not create a special scent just for her? You'll be able to pick and choose from various scents and create one that matches her personality. In addition, you will be able to select a unique bottle style and name the perfume anything you wish. This romantic gift idea will have her feeling special for months to come!

Candy Flowers

Can't decide between chocolate and roses for a romantic gift? Why not give her both at the same time? Look online for a supplier of chocolate roses, a unique treat that will have her smiling and gazing at you with loving eyes. They can be delivered in the same manner as regular flowers, only when she opens the box, her eyes will be dazzled by the beauty of the roses, and her senses will quickly be overcome with the scent of chocolate.

Get-A-Ways

Want to spend some time alone with your sweetheart? Why not plan a short trip as a romantic gift idea? You could take a vacation to the coast and spend the weekend in a spa resort, or travel to the mountains and tuck yourselves away in a private cabin. Nothing's too good for your sweetie!

Jeweled Flowers

Finally, for a romantic gift she'll never forget, surprise her with real roses that have been dipped in gold, silver or platinum. These will last forever, and speak to the eternal love that you feel for her.

You see? Planning a romantic gift idea isn't that difficult, but it does take some time and effort to get it just right. Think about the ideas listed above, and if they're not just right, do some creative thinking of your own!

Killer Dating Closing Techniques For Guys

Killer Dating Closing Techniques For Guys was written by Udo Vieth and writes "You're talking, having a drink with her, what next.

This is where a lot of guys screw up royally. They did all the cool stuff to make the girl feel at ease and not threatened. They got her to talk and open up to them. They are having a good time. How do you take this to the next level.

She needs to know where she stands. She may just consider you a potential friend ,whereas you consider yourself to be her future red hot lover. This needs to be cleared up right at the beginning. The best way to do this is to move the conversation onto her and make it clear that you find her attractive and desirable. This is tricky stuff and you need to evaluate each situation on the merits of the preceding conversation..

Say something like "Did I mention that I think you look absolutely lovely and sexy in that shade of blue/gray whatever" Girls are just as insecure as us guys and love to hear that they are sexy. You have complimented her, shown that you are observant, and noticed that she is sexy. In a hidden sort of way, you have indicated your future intentions. this way you can get from chatting to asking for a date. If things went really swimmingly, you can say something like "If this wasn't a public place, I could ravish you right now" Just be aware that if you read her wrong, a bold statement like that can crash you so fast you won't know what hit you. If it does work, you have definitely moved into the fast lane in this relationship.

Only if she doesn't start protesting or making excuses, do you move to the next step or close. If she does not respond favorably, be aware that a friendship may very well be the only thing on the cards. If she responds with a smile and openness, do a test or two.

Stroke her hair out of her face, brush her cheek, as if by mistake etc. She might even respond by touching your hand briefly, fluttering her eyelids or some such gesture.

All things being OK, its time to close.

Usually this means getting a phone number, or a commitment to a date there and then. If you are really lucky, maybe you leave with her, go to another venue or such.

Nonchalantly ask how you may continue this fascinating conversation, won't she put her phone number into your phone. Then try it right there and then. If she is interested, you will know, if not at least you won't be messed around.

If you are really confident, ask her to go with you and have coffee or a drink somewhere. If she says yes, you are on your first date and you take it from there.

Following these tips above will do a few things for you.

You will know where you stand one way or another. If she messes around, you know not to waste time, and can focus your efforts elsewhere.

If everything works out, you have efficiently moved yourself into the dating game

Congratulations Casanova, happy loving.

How to Attract Girls Even If Youre Short

How to Attract Girls Even If Youre Short was written by John Alexander and he writes "Let me mention a few names and you can tell me what they all have in common:

- Al Pacino
- Humphrey Bogart
- Napoleon

That's right... they're all short guys. But you know what? They were all awesome with the ladies (and not just because of their celebrity status... they were all players before they became famous.)

In fact, the reason they could attract girls was because of their strong inner attitude.

There are a couple things you can do in the short term. Wearing boots right now will subtly add 2 or 3 inches to your height..

Also, when you dress, wear vertical stripes and tight clothes. That will make you look SLENDER, which will make you appear taller.

Long term, one way short guys can be more dominant physically is to work out. In fact that really should be first and foremost. If you've got muscles, it helps A LOT, not only with your physical appearance, but also with your confidence levels, strong inner attitude, and poise. So get in the gym.

When you're muscular and you're a short guy, you become like a pit bull. And by the way, I'd like you to experiment with that.. do not always be the nice guy who's polite. For the next few months, try to let your "inner badass" come out a bit when you're with girls.

Do the affirmation, "I'm becoming like the pitbull who can dominate the bigger dogs."

Once you start feeling more and more confident in a few weeks, change your affirmation to, "I AM like the pitbull who can dominate bigger dogs."

I've noticed that a lot of short guys develop a VERY strong presence by having cultivated that inner badass.

Now, I'm not saying you should become a jerk... but just try to balance out that inner nice guy.

Next thing to do long term is to GIVE UP any approval-seeking. Who cares what women think of you? Go through life doing what you want and being who you are. (That is so key by the way... those guys I list above were players exactly because they went through life doing what they wanted and being true to who they were.)

You see, short guys who are badasses really have a bit of an advantage. Because of their stature, they automatically are able to have more rapport with chicks (who tend to be short themselves) than the guys who are beanpoles. And when you add to that a bit of a "badboy" element, it makes chicks dripping wet with attraction.

The bottom line is this: only if YOU feel uncomfortable with your height will it affect you with the girls. If you feel completely comfortable with your height, then they will too.

By the way, when it comes to tall guys, what women find attractive about them isn't their height. It's their dominance. If you have a tight sense of inner confidence, and project a personality that sucks them in, height will be the furthest thing from their minds.

So to sum up, be true to yourself, take risks in life, cultivate your inner badass, and stop caring about anyone's approval. And hit the gym ASAP. And do the fashion things I said.

Then you'll attract girls without worrying about irrelevant things like height.

Dating Profile Photo Tips: How A Good Picture Can Improve Your Profile!

David Thomas has written "Dating Profile Photo Tips: How A Good Picture Can Improve Your Profile!" and he writes "You're ready to try online dating. You've polished your profile, and your best friend has concluded that you are so attractive that even they would like to date you. It's come to that time! Somebody online wants to see what you look like. What picture of yourself will you paint when you display one along with your profile?

There are a few guidelines that apply to online dating pictures that you should observe which will improve your profile. These are as follows:

1. Add at least one picture of yourself to your profile! If you don't, you're seriously putting yourself at a disadvantage. Many people search only for people who have uploaded pictures. Still others don't like the idea of a "blind date," and won't go through with a meeting if they haven't seen what you look like..

2. Remember that you are trying to be a salesperson here; you're trying to sell yourself. Look at the photographs of other people on the online dating site. Is yours similar? If so, you will not stand out from the crowd! The picture you post should be good quality.

Do yourself a favour and forget the shot that someone took of you when you were at a nightclub last month, cut off just to one side where your ex was still in the picture. There are tons of pictures like this, and they don't make people want to find out more! Your profile will be more attractive than if you hadn't posted a picture, probably, but you're still not going to stand out from the crowd and do yourself justice. Ask yourself what you would want to see if you were a member of the target audience (usually the opposite sex), looking at your profile for the first time, and be critical.

At the very least, have a picture taken of yourself for the express purpose of using with your dating profile. You don't need to have had it done professionally, although it certainly wouldn't hurt! I suggest you find yourself someone who has a digital camera (or have them borrow yours) and can take pictures well, and offer them a pint or three to take several pictures of you. Get them to take a fair number of pictures (20 or so), perhaps on different settings, because not all of them may work well, and because you then have a good selection to choose from.

Choose your backdrop carefully! A nice simple approach is to go to a field or a beach when it's near sunset, and have pictures taken of yourself against this background. The background you choose should show yourself in a romantic or fun setting, and your clothes should be appropriate to that setting.

How about an interesting alternative? If you know somebody who is good with art packages such as Paint Shop Pro, have them paint out the background, and change the picture so that it looks like a spotlight is shining on you!

If you're daring and have the body for it, you may want to show off your body by wearing swimming trunks or a bikini suit!

3. It may be a good idea to try and improve the picture, as is often done of pictures of models in advertising. If you have any obvious, but small, disfigurements, these could be airbrushed out with a painting package. If you can't do it yourself, you probably know someone who can do it for you. Don't go overboard with this; make sure the picture still looks like you!

4. Don't be tempted to lie by posting a picture of George Clooney or Catherine Zeta Jones, unless of course you really are one of those people! The picture must be one of yourself, otherwise when it comes to a face-to-face meeting, the occasion is likely to end before it begins!

5. This tip is not well-known. Add a border to your picture, coloured the same as the hyperlinks on the target site. The reason for this is partly to make your picture stand out, but also because most pictures shown on online dating agency sites are also links to your profile. Your picture will then look like a link, and it increases the chance of it being clicked on. If there is any "outside" to your picture, this should ideally use the exact same colour as the background of the site. This can be found by using Alt-Print Screen to grab an image of your web browser when on the dating site, then pasting it into an art package, and identifying the colour from there. (Note that some online dating agency sites already supply borders around images; the trick will not work on these.)

6. If you have several pictures of you doing interesting activities and the site permits it, post one picture of you doing each activity in addition to your head-and-shoulders shot. For example, pictures of you skiing while on holiday; pictures showing you braving the rapids in white-water rafting; pictures of you doing your favourite sport. They help to prove that you do the things you say you do in your profile, and they make your profile more interesting! It's worth considering making an "activity shot" your primary picture, which certainly will stand out in the listings.

When Should You Give Up on Chasing a Woman?

Don Diebel has written When Should You Give Up on Chasing a Woman? and writes "This week I want to discuss chasing women, or rather I should say, when is the best time to give up on chasing a particular woman?

When you keep chasing a woman that you're crazy about and it's all one-sided and she shows no interest in you, what should you do? Well, if a woman is not interested in you she will go out of her way to give you hints by the way she acts towards you. She will try to make it clear that she does not want to get involved with you.

So, what can you do about it? Not much. Just accept the fact that she does not want anything to do with you and move on. The worst thing you can do is to pretend that there's a chance that you will get together when there's no way in hell that she will let that happen. Some guy's just try harder to get a woman when there's no chance for romance..

This just backfires. This will only make her dislike you more. The more you try to win her over, the more you just make a fool of yourself. You are just wasting your time and that of the woman.

So, a good lesson is to never hang around where you are not wanted. Just walk away with your pride intact. Respect her wishes of not wanting to get involved with you. Who knows, this might work in your favor somehow. She might have second thoughts someday. She may think, maybe you were a good guy for her after all. She may think, "He showed respect for me and just maybe I made a mistake by rejecting him."

10 Creative Dating Tips For Smokers

10 Creative Dating Tips For Smokers was written by Pat Stevens and writes "Let's say you have just met a wonderful person you want to date, through one of the many free dating sites on the Internet or maybe you met the person at the corner coffee shop. Everything is going great, until you find out...the person does not smoke, and you do. What should you do next? Is there happiness for smokers in what seems to be a non-smoking world?

If you doubt that it is becoming more and more a non-smoking world, you have only to check the most recent statistics: 39% of US citizens, according to USA Today, live in areas that are covered by laws limiting smoking. At the beginning of 2006, eleven states had bans against smoking in all indoor public places. Consequently, dating and smoking have become a bit more complicated, but with creative thinking, and a little planning ahead, this does not need to be a headache in a smoker's life.

1. Be honest and up front about your smoking and about the fact that your date does or does not smoke. Attempts to deceive someone are generally not appreciated. Another reason to be honest is that a non-smoker's sense of smell can be very sensitive; some can identify the smell of cigarette smoke in a person's hair if that person has smoked even a single cigarette after bathing..

2. Take some quiet time to reflect on how important smoking is as a part of your life; perhaps you are a committed smoker who has no intention of stopping or even cutting down, and you smoke as much as a pack or more a day. Or, you are someone who only smokes a few cigarettes a day and who is contemplating quitting completely. The reason it is important to know what type of smoker you are is to allow you to be honest with your date about your smoking. If you have not thought about it ahead of time, it can be tempting to say what you think someone else wants to hear. Being honest from the beginning can save you from possible arguments and disappointments farther down the road in your relationship.

3. Know the areas where you live that allow indoor and outdoor smoking. If you live in an area that is very restrictive about smoking, you might want to go someplace exotic--drive or fly out of town for a short trip, to a place that is both entertaining and less restrictive with its smoking bans. Remember, smoking is a legal activity, and one that you as an adult have a right to do. It is a fact of life that some of us smoke, and some of us do not; we don't need to make it good versus bad--we just need to use our creativity to make dating a little easier.

4. Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself, whether you are laughing at your habit of tapping the table as you talk over lunch, or flicking your cigarette in an ash tray every two minutes. Whatever you do, do not be afraid to see yourself as humorous. This is not just a tip so that we all laugh more, but if it were, that would be a good motive in itself. Laughter has been scientifically proven, according to the School of Medicine at Loma Linda University, to increase the immune system's activity as well as to reduce stress hormones. When it comes to dating, we can all use more fun and less stress.

5. Consider breath mints and other ways to take away that aroma smokers can exude. Breath has always been considered an important feature in dating, and we've all seen the commercials about popping in a breath mint or chewing gum. Fortunately, breath fresheners are now available as dissolvable strips--just place one on your tongue, and your mouth is alive with cool mint flavor, and the strip itself disappears. Be sure to offer the other person whatever breath enhancer you are using so this can be a time of sharing rather than just focusing on your breath.

6. Up to now, we have talked about you and your date. Always remember, the person who is sought after and talked about in a positive way is usually one who makes the other people feel important, cared about, and listened to. In other words, even though we are talking about you as a smoker and tips for dating, the real tip for any new relationship is how you relate to the other person. What can you do to make that person feel cared about and listened to? That has little to do with your smoking or even the smell of your breath and everything to do with whether you are truly interested in what the other person has to say and share, and if you are able to express that interest in a way the other person can understand.

7. Some matches just seem to be made in heaven, but we need to remember it is up to us whether we allow the relationship to continue to grow or not. In other words, you find yourself dating the same person more and more; those free dating sites that you once looked at have become a thing of the past for you, since you think maybe you have found the person of your dreams. If that is the case, and smoking is an issue, do not be afraid to confront it head on and deal with it openly. Since you have been honest from the start, and your date knows you are a caring person, the subject is one you as a couple can deal with successfully. The hint here is that while matches are made in heaven, some problems do not vanish unless we deal with them, creatively and constructively.

8. Wait to smoke. If you have the self-control to wait and refrain from smoking before or during a date, do not be afraid to exercise that self-control, as long as it is a choice you feel comfortable with. Waiting to smoke says many things about you, all of which can be positive; you are a caring person, you are capable of controlling your habits, and you are aware that others may not appreciate you smoking. And it leaves more time open for enjoying mutual pleasures, like dancing and sailing for instance.

9. I'm OK, you're OK. What you are doing, although some people may not like it, is your choice. And you have a right to both your choices and their consequences. While you cannot demand that everyone likes the fact that you are smoker, you can expect those people who truly care about you to be able to deal with and discuss the issue in a gentle and considerate way. Again, it is very important to know how much smoking matters to you, and how much you are able to bend or change your smoking habits and still be just as happy as you were yesterday, before you met the new person in your life.

10. Review all the steps that have been listed and see which ones work for you. A hint is not useful if it does not relate to you or your lifestyle. For instance, say you can't stand the smell of breath mints, and you are not about to chew some strange sort of gum--tip 5 may be something you may need to modify. All of the hints given work for some people, and your task is to try them, and to use those you find comfortable. The idea is to make your dating more enjoyable. If you do you may not be searching those free dating sites anymore--who knows, you may be ready to read some "how to buy an engagement ring" sites.

Relationship Red Flags You Shouldnt Avoid

Relationship Red Flags You Shouldnt Avoid was written by Stephanie and she writes "All relationships are clearly not meant to be. Only a few really deserve your time and your efforts. Sometimes we have clouded judgment and fail to recognize warning signs that are clearly apparent. Everyone deserves to love and be loved in a relationship. Often relationships start out wonderfully and turn sour while dating. You should invest your time with those people who respect you and will treat you well. Yet, sometimes we may overlook some of the warning signs that may save us much heart ache in the end.

1. Physical Abuse - physical abuse should always be a deal breaker. Early signals may be extremely rough play where you end up bruised. Other early signs are pushing, shoving, or playfully hitting you too hard. These are signs that he is physically aggressive and doesn't mind hurting you.

2. Emotional/Verbal Abuse - name calling (no, we aren't talking about terms of endearment) such as you're a fat slob, you're ugly, or anything that doesn't promote good will is inexcusable. If such terms are being used towards you, drop that person, they do not respect you. Having that person say that they didn't mean it, or they were joking isn't an acceptable excuse..

3. Emotional Rollercoaster's - avoid people who love you one day, and want to break things off the next day. This person is unstable, and will only continue this cycle as your relationship continues. A person who does articulate mixed messages isn't emotionally mature enough for a relationship.

4. Lying - you deserve to be in a relationship with a person who will tell you the truth. Avoid anyone who tells outright lies. If they will lie about small things, they will lie about larger things. A person that loves you will respect and not lie to you.

5. Inaccessible - They will not give out phone numbers, address, or employment information. Someone who is not willing to give you a way to contact them is trying to hide from someone. Perhaps they will only give out their cell phone number and nothing else. Perhaps they will only allow you to call at certain times, and not at others. All of these are warning signs that they are trying to keep themselves separate from you.

6. Too Controlling - your partner is overly concerned about activities that you do when you are away from them. They need to know where you are at all times, they may call you several times a day while you are out checking up on you. Be cautious if someone must know where you are at every waking moment, and needs to constantly check up on you. They may need to do this simply because they are insecure, or they may be seeing someone else, and want to verify that you aren't going to infringe upon that other relationship.

7. You're the one trying to work on the relationship - if you are the one that has to maintain the contact, apologize, and keeps the relationship going, you are working too hard. Relationships are two way streets; both parties need to be involved. If you are involved with someone who can't pick up the phone, send an email, or come and see you, move on. The other person isn't interested in you enough to make the effort.

8. How do they treat others? Does your partner treat other people well? Do they treat servers in restaurants with respect? Do they speak nicely to their own family? Do they talk badly about their friends behind their backs? Remember, the person you are with will eventually treat you like they do everyone else.

These are general warning signs. You may have your own must haves that a potential partner must meet to be in a relationship with you. Make sure you move slow enough to see these warning signals before you fully engage your heart. Above all you deserve a stable relationship with someone that you respect, and that other person respects you. If you must question yourself, ask yourself this, if a friend of yours was relating some of these red flags to you, what would you say? If you would tell your friend its time to move on, move on to someone that will give you the relationship that you desire.

3 Secrets To Attracting Your Perfect Mate

3 Secrets To Attracting Your Perfect Mate was written by Udo Vieth and he writes "Finding a partner to share your life can be a daunting task at the best of times.

Where do you go, what do you look for, how do you know what's real.

We all have heard and know that there are players and Delilah's out there. Yes they appear perfect for you, they sweep you off your feet, you are already dreaming of riding off into the sunset to your own island paradise with them, but what is reality and what is show.

They have learned techniques and ploys to melt your resistance and logic, with their smooth talking, suave gestures, impeccable appearance and aloof attitude. They can and they will break your heart..

What can you do to protect yourself?

Learn the to recognize the tricks of their trade, see through the smoke and mirrors and focus on the facts. Simple really. Easy? Not on your life.

All human beings have certain emotional traits relating to security, love, self esteem and so on. These "Players" have techniques of short circuiting your normal detection mechanism for discovering faking. They will overwhelm you with just the right emotional deception, to completely gain your trust.The are consciously playing with your unconscious attraction mechanisms.

Is there an answer to this?

Well if you are able to cut through all the hoopla, and see some defining clues that they cannot change, you have a huge advantage to protect yourself.

Did you know that, the vast majority of communication between men and women happens at the non-verbal level. Yes Body language plays an important part. If you know how to identify the specific signals sent out by a prospective partner when near to you, you can tell a lot more about their intentions than what they are saying. If you can walk into a room and tell just by looking at how everyone's body is postured, whether they are relaxed or desperate, you already have an upper hand.

But a detailed study of body language can take years, so here's a quick method that works.

1. When arriving at a venue, before going in to actually mingle, let your eyes sweep the room. Find a few potential candidates, and take a few minutes observing their action. You are not looking for anything specific, just go with your natural instincts and get a feel for them. later if you get to meet them close up, try and detect if there is a difference.

What does this do. Firstly, you will only be attracted to people whose body language resonates with yours, when you are sweeping the room. Secondly, if the whole feeling changes when you are close up, the chances are they did that to deceive you.

2. Get Over Your Social Anxiety – the more relaxed you are, the more attractive you become to a prospective partner. We sense social stress, it sends out a different frequency. Two people with the same stress signals however, don't attract each other, they actually repel. A relaxed mood, seems to attract though

3. Don't be desperate. Similar to above, Animals smell fear, people smell desperation. If you're desperate two things can happen: A. Nothing B. You will be taken advantage of, without anything in return.

Just understanding the 3 items mentioned above will dramatically enhance your chances of connecting with suitable partner.

Remember, keep on loving

Use This Rule To Survive A Loss

Use This Rule To Survive A Loss was written by sexualkey.com and they writes "The intent of this article was to ease any trauma caused by break ups or permanent separations between two persons.

I strongly believe that almost any person must have encountered the feeling of loss when being told by the other person that a best option for both was breaking up for unknown or absurd reasons.The reaction is painful. You feel the emptyness phisically although this is impossible in theory.Every word is useless or annoying. You hate other persons around you because you can't stand the humiliation.This is the main reason for the tendency of hisolation.

Moving on seems impossible because there are too many things which still connect you to the other person. In time you realize that it wasn't your fault and you create a shell which should protect you from sorrow. This might be an option but due to the fact that it is almost always based on hatred or disgust it should be diminished:not for the the person who had broken up with but for you who shouldn't keep these feelings inside you as they will eventually destroy you. Furtheron, I will make some sugestion for easilly move over and forget about bad feelings:

1) Don't think about having a gathering for this reason.Sometimes. solitude can make you understand better what has happened and make you pass the bad moment.Moreover, this gathering would only upset you by having to tell everybody what has happened.

2)You should be grateful for the fact that you won't be needing to see someone who has no feelings for you. It is better this way as you get to meet someone worthwhile who would share your feelings.

3)Move on and look at the bright side. This will definitely help you to cope better with difficult moments; it also prepares you to meet someone else.Maybe, afterall, you were also a little bored with that person and you wanted something new.

4)Be self-assured.It wasn't your fault and that doesn't make you the culprite for the situation. In any case, it is good to learn from your mistakes and even better to learn from the other's mistakes.This can stop you from choosing the same kind of person.

5) Try to make from any going out or dating, a new experience. Having more relationships can generate a better understanding of their tricks and lessons. This way you will learn to foresee and never be hurt again. This is the beauty of it all.This way, the relationship becomes a game where everything is possible.

All in all, life in itself is a game and games are generally intended to entertain us. Just learn to entertain yourself and everything becomes so easy.
