Meeting That Special Someone on Holiday

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Perhaps the traditional notion of holidays is getting away from it all and enjoying some sun, sand and maybe a drink or two. However, one of the fastest growing sectors in the holiday industry is the singles holiday, especially luxury cruises singles holidays. On these holidays there are lots of single men and women who go to have a good time but also with the intention of meeting someone special. Because not many people know much about these types of holidays, lets take a look at some top advice to make them as enjoyable and productive as possible.

Have a glow. If you are going to a hot location like you might do on silversea cruises, you really don’t want to be turning up looking like a milk bottle. Having a little colour makes a big difference, especially as first impressions count for a lot of these types of holiday. this doesn’t mean going up 5 skin tones, just a light tan that shoes you get outside once in a while and take care of your appearance

Relax. If you are uptight, nervous or shifty no one will want to talk to you. Most often everyone on singles holidays are in the same boat so to speak and will be much more receptive if you just be yourself and let your guard down a little. If you think about it, your advice to someone who was very uptight and guarded would be to calm down and not to worry so much. This is because it’s the best advice so make you follow it


Have fun
.It really is not the end of the world if you don’t meet anyone you like and you should not worry about it if you don’t. When all is said and done, holidays are about having some time to enjoy yourself and not worry about things, and this should be the same wherever you are at whatever you’re doing. Not everyone finds happiness the first time, but there is no reason why you cannot try again. For singles cruises consider AMA waterways cruises

Marriage Dating, Just like Playing with Fire

Monday, July 6th, 2009

It is truly astounding the sheer number of websites online that serve not only singles, but married individuals who are looking for affairs. That’s right, married dating! Flings are nothing new, of course. Affairs have been going on for as long as cavemen have been choosing their significant others. But this well… let me go further.

What is most surprising is the number of “so-called” respected dating services that do encourage men and women to have affairs

Many of these dating services have gotten exposure from shows like “Dr. Phil”, “Today”, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, etc. This does bring up a point that should be considered. Just because a service gets national mention in the media does not necessarily mean the message is a healthy one.

Overall, most marriage counselors and relationship experts would agree whole heartedly that monogamous relationships are not just healthy for us, but also seem to be in our nature. Our marriages thrive in harmony. Harmony can only exist in honest effort.

When we fall in love with that special someone and our emotions are corresponded, this does not happen by chance; this seems to be ingrained in general human design. This is what real commitment and family values are about.

But in today’s world, there is a lot of added pressure, stress and confusion heaped upon us. The family unity, along with our inner values, can get lost in a lot of mixed signals. The mainstream media is only one instance where we have gone astray. When the media becomes the message, then quite often, we will see double standards being applied. When we see people we admire in the news having extra-marital affairs, this can be confusing.

Marriage dating is like walking the razor’s edge, playing with fire, pick your metaphor for dangerous. This simply is a fact. Both guys and gals will usually start searching outside of their relationship for different reasons, but the outcome is generally the same. Deep resentment over betrayal, confidence is put to the test and often, the marriage will not survive taking extra-marital blows. Most experts concur: Even married dating under the “open marriage” rule, in time, will undermine the larger bond and commitment between husband and wife.

When you consider that the dating industry itself is a multi-million dollar concern, it is easier to read between the lines. Many of these services are telling you that married dating is Ok to practice. This comes from a financial agenda and nothing else. The competition is very tight for new customers. When married dating is a part of the package, this opens up a whole area of clientele that the dating services can cater to besides the “singles” market.

Many of us fantasize and dream about the “what ifs” that we don’t have in our lives. Living out our lives through the eyes of others can, on occasion, even be a good thing.

Married dating will always present a picture of the grass being greener on the other side. But this is rarely the case when acted upon.

It is true, as time moves forward, that more couples than ever before are ending their marriages in divorce. But there are also more people on this earth than ever before who are getting married. The number one reason the married couples get divorced today is disillusionment in the relationship. Marriage, like any other genuine human connection, takes work and responsibility. When people begin to take their marriages for granted, often times they do not know why they are feeling restless and having second thoughts.

The online websites that promote married dating seem so tempting because they offer the anonymity of cyberspace. Discretion is one of the first key triggers they can offer you. If no one knows who you really are, you can become someone else. After all, there are many others who are having flings through these online dating services.

Consider that the nagging desire to have an extramarital affair is almost always associated with something more profound and deeper that is not being taken care of in the relationship. Working on the real issues together with your spouse will only prove to strengthen the bond between you.

Everyone needs help at one time or another. If the troubles in the relationship seem to heavy to tackle alone, consider consulting a pofessional counselor. Marriage counselors and relationship experts are equipped to deal with problems in marriage that can’t be resolved easily.

The point is that most people have a lot of time and commitment invested in their marriages. Often times, children are very much a part of the picture and the impact on their lives needs to be taken into account. All of the options have to be evaluated before coming to the conclusion that resolution can only be reached through separation or divorce.

You really need to be sure that you did absolutely all that could have been done to solve things. If you don’t, it will haunt you in the future.

Married dating will never strengthen a marriage. At best, it may look tantalizing from the outside, but in practice will only cause guilt, pain, shame and distrust. In a short word…DON’T.

Single Online Dating - Variety is Key

Monday, July 6th, 2009

All online dating sites are definitely not created equal. They have individual goals and target markets that they are trying to reach.  It is for that reason that you will not want to just try one single online dating service but you should consider trying out several until you find one that works best for you and meets your needs.

Dating services have a lot to offer but no two are alike.Things to consider would be cost, bang for the buck and if it falls within your budget.Another thing is what is the target audience or market for the service?Are they leaning more towards people searching for some simple and responsibility free fun or are they more in line with customers who are searching for love long term…

It is important to take some time to decide what it is that you are looking for before deciding on a single online dating service.

Make sure you are honest with yourself about what it is that you are looking for and check out some of the online agency sites.  Try getting a top three list of sites to try and then see how things go with each of them.  You can try one single online dating site at a time but be sure to try a few over time.You will be sure when you finally find a great fit for your personality.

Agencies vary and it is for that reason that you will want to check a few out.Do you want a service that promotes email contact between customers, keyword searching to find common ground, a service that searches for you or one that fosters that you do your own or both?

Since every single online dating site has its own special “thing” you will have to evaluate your alternatives.If you are sure of what you are searching for then you will be better equipped to find a site that promises exactly what you are looking for.  There very well may be one single online dating service that meets your requirements but it will take time to sort through all of them.

Remember, if you find that you are not having any success with a particular service or there is something that is making you unhappy then go ahead and change to another.  This is not a life sentence by any means.

Of course, the single online dating service that fits YOU is the one that meets your needs and actually helps you find the match that you’ve been searching for.  Be as selective about the dating service as you are about the potential matches that they provide.

Internet Dating Services: The Good, The Bad & The Real

Monday, July 6th, 2009

The concept of being able to find Mr. or Ms. right on one of those internet dating services seems worthy of attention.  Specially if you look at their advertised success rates!Still, it is very important for people to understand the pitfalls that can come from services like these and how easily people get swindled by others who are dishonest on their dating profiles.

While doing some research I was surprised to read that it is estimated that approximately…

13 percent of male members with online dating sites
are really joined in holy matrimony!!!

I do not know of many women who would sign up to get involved with that…In many cases the profiles on internet dating services flagrantly lie about how they look, how much money they make, education level, moral and political views, and more.

In one posted story a man talked about when he set up his first face to face meeting with a woman he had been in contact on the internet with for several months, when she showed up at the restaurant and introduced herself she looked nothing like her posted pictures.

I do not mean that the pictures were close, or that she was having a bad day, or no make up, I mean that the posted pictures were of someone else!  Can you imagine thinking you were meeting a person who looked to be in their late 20’s or early 30’s based on their profile photos, only to be greeted by someone in their 50′ or 60’s!

Often people are insincere when they want to “sell” themselves but other times they have just flat out lied.When people on internet dating services lie on their dating profiles about stuff like how much they make or what their life choices are, that can also wreck a relationship before it even gets started.

It is unclear to me what they hope to gain from lying about anything because it is obvious that nothing will work out for them once they are found out to be less than truthful.  Internet dating services ask people to be honest but there is really no way to keep someone from heavy embellishing or worse.

In my opinion posting false photos and lying about being married are two of the biggest pitfalls you can come across when using internet dating services.

It is important to keep your eyes and ears open and be a bit skeptical.  Hopefully things will work out but you need to be careful…

Relationship Dating - The Need to be Real

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

There are many reasons to date. You can date for fun, for entertainment, for companionship, for sex, or like a large majority of the people out there, to find a meaningful and fulfilling relationship.  This time honored and frustrating endeavor is what we have chosen to call relationship dating.

Although we separated dating into various categories based on our motivations, don’t be fooled, they can all really be traced back to finding fulfillment and meaning in our interactions with another human being.  Below I will give you some examples of what I mean:

So let’s date for fun!?

Dating for fun…or sex…is a search for meaning and fulfillment.  Yes, you did read correctly, let me get in to it.  Dating is full of frustration, tension, subliminal messages, attack and parry.  For the mayority of people this does not sound like fun at all.  There are some people out there though who find this “game” enthralling.  For them it is synonymous with the X-Games!  But… why is dating so exciting for them?  The answer is validation.  It is the same reason people go bungi jumping and love horror movies.

In this validation people find fulfillment and meaning…but I digress…

For the rest of us that find dating akin to a dentist visit, and in the spirit of simplicity which characterizes us, here are some key nuggets of wisdom which should help us gain perspective when we are thinking:  “What the hell am I doing?!”

Don’t pretend:  Some people feel that the only way to find your significant other is to join the club scene, go bar hopping and overindulge on martinis.  If living that life is not YOU, then why sign on?  Unless you intend to discover people who do not have much in comon with you this appears to be a loosing proposition.

Do more of what you like, be more of what you are.  Share yourself.  If you like cooking, join a cooking class, offer dinner parties for your friends and their acquaintances, give the restaurant chef unsolicited advice.

  The concepte here is to search for ways to make your sphere of experience wider and at the same time do stuff that you really like.  At these times you will really be yourself, and you will be displaying all that you can be.

Look deep: Another thing that generally happens when dating is that we give the physical appearance of our dates incredibly high importance.  Guys do this without question.  Although it is less pronounced in women, it happens just the same.

Obviously there must be an attraction for a relationship to develop, but you might find that the initial attraction has many more components than just physical appearance.  Like anything else, appearances fade.

People change, they might gain weight, lose their hair, loose muscle tone, their tan will fade, just like you and me; they are real people in the flow of life, not a snapshot in time.  You want to look for other things which have a higher impact on the success of a long term relationship.

Perfect is just a word: One way in which we sometimes sabotage our own efforts is by giving that little thing that bothers us about our potential mate so much importance, that we kill the whole endeavor.  Nobody is perfect, we all get indigestion, we all get blackheads, we all suffer body odor when sweaty, we all get touchy on occasion.  So…look at the big picture.

Be there: To use a very common sports analogy, to win the game you have to play.  If you go directly from your office to your house to the sofa to watch the latest TV show and then to bed, only to go at it again the next morning you are NOT likely to meet someone…anyone!

Get yourself out there… take that last minute invitation, call that person you said you would call to get together three weeks ago…

Go and DO! If you screw up, wipe the slate clean, and DO some more…

Online Dating Websites, from Finding Love to Loving Fun.

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

I was intrigued, just very very curious about online dating sites.Being a divorced parent, I had no idea how to develop a fulfilling relationship again.  The bar scene is not for me and with kids I have no time to be “bar hopping” around town.Working twelve hour days I have little time to meet new people sot it was just obvious that one of these dating sites could be the ticket to finding some kind of relationship. 

Thus began my investigation into these sites and what they were all about.

What I have found out is that online dating sites are very different from one another.  some sites have a very casual “feel” to them.  they appear to cater to a client that is looking for a person to spend time with who enjoys going out and having a good time. 

Other online dating websites seem to be geared more toward people who are looking for a more committed relationship.Perhaps marriage and children sometime in the future.This got me wondering about what is was that I was searching for… 

Having just come out of a marriage, I decided that I needed a break from all of the seriousness and that it was more of a casual relationship that I was looking for.  Someone to go out with, talk to, spend time with.Im more came from it fine; but I knew that for now I needed to keep it simple and find online dating sites that would be easy and fun.

In a lot of cases I found that people seemed to be looking for friendship more than a romantic relationship.They looked lonely and as any adult knows, it can be difficult to develop friendships as a grown up. When we are kids we have playtime and time to develop connections and ties that bind.As adults it can be significantly more difficult to do. 

I really loved the fact that there were so many different online dating websites that catered to all kinds of clients with all different type of needs and wants. 

In time my own personal needs may change if and when I feel ready to commit to another person.  Then I will look at websites with more specific profiles and who offer clients with needs that are similar to mine.For now I am all about friendship and just plain fun…with major emphasis on the FUN!

If you want to see reviews, stories, read others experiences or dating advice you should go to Simple-Relationship-Advice.com It is one of my favorites.

How to Find THE Best Online Dating Site Specially for You

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

I was married for fifteen years and I have been divorced for one…Now I am ready, absolutely ready to find the best online dating service that is out there.The reality is, I never thought I would feel so lonely after the divorce.  I would like to find a dating service that caters to women about my age who are looking for companionship.

Will I ever marry again…maybe but right now I am all about learning how to date again and finding a person that I enjoy spending time with. Hopefully by using a dating service I will be able to “screen” the men that I go on dates with and gain a little bit of insight as to what they are all about before I dive in for that first date.

After doing a bit of research I was surprised to find so many dating services.  My goal was to find the best online dating service and that meant seeing what kind of track record they had as far as successful matches.  Most of the online agencies were very willing to provide me with reviews from clients and the ones with the best online dating success records were even willing to put me in touch with a few clients so I could get some feedback directly from them.There was no turning back. I decided to register with my top two favorites.

When the profile questions came up and I had to answer stuff about myself I became very aware that I really needed to focus on “me” before choosing a date.  They told me that for the best online dating experience I would have to be honest with myself and try to get a real handle on what I was looking for in a person.The more I knew myself the easier it would be to find a match.  My goal was to have the best online dating experience so I was willing to do the work and be as open and honest as possible.

To have been married before was a plus for me because I knew the things that bothered me about myself while I was married.  I wished I spoke up more, had more hobbies and interests of my own, things like that.To try and get the best online dating experience I was going to write a profile that expressed the “real” me.

If you want more stories, information and tons of good advice on relationships you can visit Simple-Relationship-Advice.com It is one of my favorites!

Don’t Enter The Friend Zone!

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Stay out of the friend zone! Here’s how! Physical contact is the key to success in staying out of the F zone. By having some physical contact between the two of you you are establishing a sense of mutual tactility with each other. So how do you project this physical touching and contact technique without looking like a creeper? Here are some things to keep in mind. Use physical contact and touching to help you when you want to know how to approach a girl.

One thing to remember is to not be too aggressive with a woman upon first introducing yourself. You don’t want to scare her away. This is not the correct approach. Being too aggressive is going to end the conversation and your chances right then and there.
Do not be overly aggressive in the beginning because you’ll just put in place an uncomfortable setting for you and the woman you are interested in.

The other extreme is that you are too timid to act and end up not showing any touchy or physical contact. This is not a preferable approach either as it may come off you are simply not interested.  There must be some sort of middle ground, some balance. To find out more on discovering that balance check out Savoy’s Magic Bullets review.

It may sound difficult but it really is not to hit that perfect balance with physical contact and touching. 

When you first introduce yourself, form a bond quickly by kiss on the cheek while introducing yourself.

There is one known area where you can touch her in which you definitely wont be invading her personal space. The outside of a woman’s arm isn’t an area where she’ll take offense if you make contact there and is a great way to get a feel on how she reacts to your touch. Do so however, in a smooth manner. 

The key here is to build a bond with a woman.  This keeps a sexual attracting between you two.

Being stealthy while maintaining a physical connection with a girl is a great way to go about building good rapport. If she doesn’t realize you are trying to touch her you are doing a great job.

Giving a hug when closing out your conversation is a great way to leave a good lasting impression.

It is worth your while to build this bond and rapport with a woman as she’ll want to hang out with you again and not in just a friend way. Learn this technique and in no time you’ll be double your dating.
