Do you need Free Dating Advice on Love or a Relationship?

Dating and relationships are so complicated. People actually complicate what should be a very fun and rewarding experience.

Why is that? Because there are emotions, life experiences and different views on what a relationship is and should be.

Let's explore how to make a relationship both work and if it isn't how we can make it better. If you are having trouble getting a date, let's find out how we can change that!

We will add frequent dating tips on love, where to meet singles and how to have a successful and meaningful relationship.

If you are on dating sites whether on a free online dating service or a paid site, let's hear your experiences!

Office Romance 

Most people have either dated someone they have worked with or have had an attraction to a coworker.
It is very tempting when you are working closely with someone during more waking hours than you spend at home alone.

I have found that normally this is not only frowned upon by companies but also can lead to disaster. It is very difficult to continue working together if the romance goes awry and hurt feelings ensue.

Becoming involved with one of your peers or bosses should first be well thought out. If the two parties are mature enough then it can be successful.

Differences Between Men and Women 

There are basic and obvious differences between men and women when dating. Men often give clues from the onset as to their intentions and feelings. Then there are the more inconspicuous ones that women often pick up on in hindsight when things start to unravel.

Dating is an art and takes practice and skill. What this means is that for a woman to find a guy is really pretty easy with the large selection of free online dating services. However, to keep a guy for more than a few months is not as easy.

Men are hunters and women are emotional beings. If both sexes truly understood this basic but most fundamental difference there. would be
More lasting connections. Probably the best book that I have read that was both entertaining and very insightful on understanding men when dating was "Why Men Love Bitches" by Sherry Argov

When an initial meeting or date takes place, both parties are on their best behavior. Body language, appearance and common interest are normally sized up.

If a guy is attracted to a female he is normally thinking sex. It is not really a bad thing, just his makeup. It then comes down to how much he really likes her.If there is enough interest then he decides if he wants to take the time to get to know her.

Normally after the first several months, you decide if the relationship should continue. You have gotten to know more about your match's personality, habits and values. Then if all looks good for both parties, you can settle into a more comfortable and less defensive relationship.

At some point within the first six months normally one decides whether a relationship should be exclusive. That is where many times the differences between men and women come into play.

Women are far more inclined to want exclusivity. There is a certainly no way to really know when is the right time to approach the subject.. That is one of the mysteries of dating.

MUST READ BOOK FOR WOMEN- Best Dating Tips 

This book will change your perception of dating forever!

Ladies- I have read this book and given it to a half dozen of my single lady friends. Why Men Love Bitches is a MUST read!!! It will change the way you look at dating and how men perceive you!!

Do you feel like you are too nice?

Sherry Argov's Why Men Love Bitches delivers a unique perspective as to why men are attracted to a strong woman who stands up for herself. With saucy detail on every page, this no-nonsense guide reveals why a strong woman is much more desirable than a "yes woman" who routinely sacrifices herself. The author provides compelling answers to the tough questions women often ask:

-

Why are men so romantic in the beginning and why do they change?
--Why do men take nice girls for granted?
--Why does a man respect a women when she stands up for herself?



Full of much-needed advice, hilarious real-life relationship scenarios, "she says/he thinks" tables, and the author's unique "Attraction Principles," Why Men Love Bitches gives you bottom-line answers. It helps you know who you are, stand your ground, and relate to men on a whole new level. Once you've discovered the feisty attitude men find so magnetic, you'll not only increase the romantic chemistry in the relationship-you'll gain your man's love and respect with far less effort. Great for singles who are trying online dating.

Starting Over For Women 

What to Do to Prepare for Your First Date!

After being in a long term marriage or dating relationship, we often need a fresh approach to life and even more importantly our image. Most times, an change is in order

A makeover can be the most element in preparing for dating again. Many people have spent years caring for others and consequently have neglected both their appearance and their own emotional needs.

Getting a new hair style and some more stylish clothing can both boost one's self esteem as well as attract the attention a man.

It is amazing how a new hairstyle can create a more youthful and confident individual. That transformation can open up a whole new world especially for someone who has been sheltered and attached during their younger years.

A few months in the gym can also help you feel better physically and psychologically. The stress of a breakup can be many times overwhelming and it is a known fact that excercise helps stress levels. If you cannot afford a gym membership, walking, excercise and light weights can provide the same results.

When choosing new clothes, you should be realistic about your body type as well as your age group. It is true that the styles today favor the younger generation, but if you are not 25 then you should possibly not dress for that age group.

You might want to take a friend with you to help you pick out clothes that are appealing to your body type for your first date. Many people have difficulty deciding what really suits them and sales people tend to want to sell with sometimes little regard for your benefit.

For women, a nice pair of jeans and a basic black pair of slacks is a good start if you are on a limited budget. For tops, get a basic everyday wear top that is flattering to your figure and then possibly a little sexier one for evening wear.

To accessorize, try a few nice pieces of costume jewelry. Men love it and it can usually dress up an outfit that might be a bit outdated or inexpensive. You can find fairly inexpensive jewelry at discount stores such as Steinmart, JC Pennys and Target.

There are two more things that you must not forget! Fragrance and a great manicure and pedicure. Men notice these from the onset and they will definitely score points!

Fragrance is very personal. One that I adore and recommend is Angel by Thierry Mugler. When I say men LOVE it, I am not exaggerating. I get stopped everywhere I go by men wanting to know what I am wearing.

Lastly, make sure that your nails are nicely groomed as well as your toes if you wear sandals. Men are drawn to hands as well as feet and they will be noted to be sure! If you cannot afford to have them done, buy a buffer and some polish and do your own.

Now, you are ready from head to toe to venture out on your first date. Good Luck!!

FAVORITE FRAGRANCE- Last ALL Day!! 

Angel by Thierry Mugler

ANGEL perfume was designed by THIERRY MUGLER in 1993. Its fragrant nature explores essences of honey, chocolate, and caramel and is blended with notes of vanilla, patchouli, and sandalwood. Angel shower gel is the perfect addition to the perfume, creating an alluring scent all over. Angel perfume is packaged in a beautiful star shaped bottle and is enclosed in a blue box. Thierry Mugler also designed the fragrance Angel Innocent.

ANGEL is absolutely the "sexiest" perfume that I have ever worn. You will LOVE it!!

Where to Meet Your First Date 

When Dating Online

starbucksjapan

There is often a dilemna as to where to go on the first date . If this is a blind or online date it is recommended that you meet in a public place such as a coffee shop like Starbucks. An informal setting will generally put both parties at ease.

A wine or martini bar can be fun too. Sometimes, it is a good way to see how someone handles their liquour by observing how many they order and if ordering coctails how strong they request them.

You definitely want to go somewhere low key and where the background volume is low enough for conversation. Trying to yell over loud music is not the way to get to know someone.

Free Online Dating Sites Can Be A Way To Meet Singles 

online_dating1

Over the past few years there has been a significant increase in the number of singles looking at and joining online dating sites. With free online dating sites flooding the internet, more people are utilizing both paid and free online dating services.

Dating is not the same as it was 20 years ago. Without the internet, singles depended on bars, friends and their workplace to meet people. That has all changed. People are starting to take notice more of the free online dating sites.

First of all, dating coworkers is highly discouraged and even sanctioned. Drinking and driving has become taboo so people are not as much inclined to look for dates in bars. Americans tend to work more and don't have as much time to socialize with friends.

The internet has become a vital and addictive way of life for millions of people. Browsing for a date is both easy and anonymous. People find it an easier and more comfortable way to meet other singles.

The big players in online dating used to be Match.com and Eharmony.com. They were the forerunners and have spent millions in advertising to cement their place in the minds of singles. Because of their brilliant marketing and big advertising budgets they have become branded in the minds of singles world wide.

Free online dating services have begun to gain ground due to talented programmers who have in some cases started successful free dating sites with very little capital. The challenges with these sites is branding themselves without having the advertising budgets of a large corporation or investor.

Breaking Up 

The Right Way vs. Wrong Way

crying-woman

Breaking up can be very painful. If the relationship has lasted several months, there normally are feelings involved. The key is when one party had decided to end the relationship, there should be honesty and sensitivity.

When there is a breakup, there is generally one person that is hurt or confused when it ends. It is advisable that one sits down with their partner and explains why they feel the relationship isn't working. People have a difficult time doing this face to face.

Depending on the circumstances, having a talk in person doesn't always work. However, if someone has been planning this change, it is the most decent way to split up and will cause less hurt and confusion afterwards.

Normally, when there is a split, it has been brewing for awhile. When there is no communication, there is more likely the possibility of a break up.

What many times happens is that one party will start distancing them self from their partner. Then, the natural thing is to start questioning why. For a man to be questioned, it normally results in feelings of more pressure and many times has a negative result.

Men have more difficulty expressing their feelings than women. Women become emotional often during a breakup and men often disappear. They don't like a lot of drama and in addition simply don't have the answers that a female is asking for.

The worst thing is to avoid your partner or break up with an email, instant message or text message. That is both a sign of immaturity and insensitivity.

What Not to Do After a Breakup 

Breaking up can be very painful especially if you were not expecting it. These are some tips that might help ease the pain and allow you to move on.

1. Don't remain "just friends" with your ex. Perhaps sometime in the future that will be possible. It is not advisable in the beginning as this gives you hope that it may workout. You might find yourself holding on to every shred of contact as a single that your ex love still cares.
2. Give your self time to be sad. Don't just brush the feelings under the table. Allow yourself time to have some good cries.
3. Don't hold onto a lot of material memories. If you received a teddy bear or some cute little trinket, give it away or throw it away. It is better not to have it around your house to be a reminder.
4 Don't close yourself off from friends. If you have good friends, they will be there for you to listen and console. It is important that you don't isolate yourself. Being alone at times is okay, but you need to be in the company of others as well.
5.Don't just jump into another relationship for attention and love. You might find your self with the same kind of person that you just broke up with. Give yourself time to evaluate what went wrong and if you are selecting the wrong type. Also, if you jump into a relationship too quickly again, you might find that a repeat of a broken heart is more than you can endure again.

Dating Tips for Men 

How to Get a Woman's Attention

flirt1

Finding a date with a woman from a free online dating service is not that difficult. Capturing her attention and getting that second date can prove more challenging.

When meeting someone on a free dating site, we often show the best side of our self. We can be witty and interesting. The first impression upon meeting can be quite different.

The first step to getting a woman to notice you is to dress for the occasion. If you are meeting her at a nice restaurant, it is advisable that you don't wear shorts. Wearing shorts or sandals on a first date is definitely out! Unless you are going to the beach, wear appropriate shoes. Whatever you do, refrain from flip flops.

Also, women love men that smell nice. Wear a nice cologne that is not overpowering. Fragrance is something we remember after the person is out of our presence.

If you are meeting her for dinner, show up on time. Ladies are often late but do not like waiting for a man.

When engaging in conversation, be upfront about your self. Women are very hesitant to trust men that will not open up. Women are also more emotional and open generally than men.

Also, try to keep the conversation flowing. If there are too many empty spaces in the conversation, she will soon loose interest. Keep it light and fun. Most women love funny guys!

The best advice is to be your self. Women are intuitive beings and will soon sense if you are not being honest or sincere.

How to Keep a Woman Happy 

What a man must do to satisfy a woman

women_heart_melt_2

Women are definitely more complex emotionally than men and are wired differently. There are some very simple tips that will help men keep their ladies happy!

The number one thing that all women want is attention. They need to feel that their mate notices them whether it be a cute little text message during the day or a brief phone call. These simple gestures go a long way towards satisfying a woman's emotional needs. Men think that they have to impress women with "tokens or gifts". Without the emotional connection, the material aspect has very little if any value.

Romance is a big winner. A sweet little card or a nice candle light dinner prepared by her man makes a woman feel special and sexy. Ladies love ambiance. This for a woman is the start of foreplay. If you make a woman happy before bedtime, the rewards will be much greater.

Another formality that is fast becoming extinct is the art of being a gentleman. Men feel that since women wanted equal rights that they don't to be treated like a lady. Most women still love to have their car door opened. Pulling out a chair when she sits down or slightly standing when a lady excuses herself at the table is impressive and appreciated.

Most women want and need compliments. You don't have to give them hourly, but once a day is required in some form. They love to hear how nice they smell or how great their outfit looks on them! Kind and appreciative words about how wonderful their cooking was is a real winner.

Women need mental stimulation. This is something that if men recognize early on, they can keep a woman happy and faithful forever!
