flirting

This advice actually comes from a middle-aged man. Imagine that!

When you picture this situation, you probably see yourself sitting in front of the television, beer in hand, trying not to roll your eyes at the flirting advice coming directly from a man with a beer gut and a middle-aged wife nagging him.  Conversely, you might be envisioning getting flirting advice from a smooth-talking guy with slicked-back hair who gets the ladies because he’s got deep pockets.  But this is not that kind of flirting advice and it’s not coming from that kind of middle-aged man.  No, instead, this middle-aged man is the one who is average looking and of average income but who has years of experience in the changing world of flirtation and has developed this flirting advice which actually works more often than not. 

Now, keep in mind, this flirting advice is good for both men and women of any sexual orientation.

The best of the flirting advice gained through years of experience is the rule that if you’ve got it, flaunts it.  This is followed quickly by the lesson that if you don’t have it, you shouldn’t display it.  This flirting advice applies not only to the physical but also to other levels of flirting interaction.  How many times have you been around that guy who told a joke, and everyone laughed to be polite, so he told a dozen more?  You don’t want to be that guy.

What you learn as you go through years of flirting is that there are very few people who have it all.  You just aren’t going to be the most beautiful, smartest, mort powerful, most charming, funniest person in the room, because that one person just doesn’t exist.  As a middle-aged man, he’s  just not going to have the body of a twenty-year-old guy.  But what he’s done is is created his own collection of traits and experiences.  The best flirting advice he offers is that you have to realize what your strengths are and make use of displaying those strengths to others in a way, which is natural for you.  The purpose of flirtation is to interest another person in you, so showing them what’s great about you is the way to go.

The other critical piece of flirting advice this guy offers is that flirting is supposed to be fun.  You should enjoy it for what it is, rather that always aiming for a specific goal and being disappointed if you don’t achieve it.  For example, if you are flirting with a girl across the room at a club, and she invites you to dance, but you don’t leave with her number, you can have two reactions.  One is to be disappointed that your flirtation didn’t lead to a whirlwind romance.  The other is to be happy with the fact that your flirtation interested her in dancing and you probably had a good time while doing it.  Flirtation doesn’t always lead to satisfaction, which is what keeps us all interested in the game.  It’s the reason that people who are perfectly happy in their committed relationships often flirt with others.  We like to be liked and some of the best flirting advice of all time is that there should be just as much pleasure in the chase as there is in the catch.

Related to this is the flirting advice which starts with being comfortable with who you are.  As you get older, you realized that most people aren’t paying attention to your flaws nearly as much as you are.  You are your own worst critic when you should be your own best friend.  If you take nothing else away from this flirting advice, take this:  if you are a person who enjoys flirting and does it appropriately, your flirtation will usually be well received.

These rules can easily be applied to online dating as well. When you happen across a profile that really catches your eye – take special care to reach out in a confident and flirtatious way.  One of the best places to start grooming those flirtatious skills is with Match.com 6 Month Guarantee – That’s SIX months to master the skill with nothing to lose if you don’t find a match.

Facing Rejection While Dating Online

dating-rejection

You’ve chosen several photos from your online dating service and sent out your personal online profile. Now you are waiting for the replies to start rolling in. You wait a few days, and nothing. You start to feel as though you should go back to the bars, at least the rejection there is face to face. What could have gone wrong?

First of all, these people don’t know you, so you can’t realistically take a lack of response too personally. Often users of online dating services have a stack of profiles next to their computer and take their time returning emails, so don’t get discouraged.

The worst mistake you can make is contacting people over and over. This can turn them off and give the impression that you are a stalker, some dating services online will cancel your membership or censure you if they receive reports of continuous attempts to contact ( as well they should. Remember, they don’t know your motives any more than you know anyone else’s when online.)

Another online dating tip is to contact as many people that have an interesting profile as possible. If you only contact two or three, and then wait weeks for a reply, of course you’re going to get frustrated, but if you send contact emails to 20 different people, chances are you will receive several replies. Again, do not take it personally! There are hundreds of free online dating sites to choose from, and those are just the free ones. I have a personal confidence in sites like eHarmony and Match.com though. It’s always been my personal belief that you get what you pay for. If you are joining free dating sites – then what message is that sending? If you are willing to pay for a quality service – you might have better luck in meeting your match.

If you are continuously getting rejection emails (I don’t mean lack of replies, but true, actual rejections) maybe the problem is your profile. Recheck it and see what it says about you. Is it honest and sincere? Did you send your best picture? Does it sound too needy or too non committal?

There are lots of services that offer to help with putting together the perfect profile. I even have an offer to critique or rewrite your personal ad – based on years of working in the online dating industry, I’ve got a pretty good handle on what works and what doesn’t – I’m always happy to provide tips to help people find love.

If you’ve been wanting to jump in and give eHarmony a real test drive, now’s your chance! This is the best deal yet!  eHarmony is offering FREE communication for an entire month – You read it right – 30 days!

Valentine’s Day is coming up – Spring is just around the corner and everyone is getting into the mood for love, right?

If you are not a member, you will have to sign up for the service.

Do You Attract The Opposite Sex?

magnet

All of us want to get a great mate. We want to settle for nothing less than the best.

Do you have a personality that’s attractive to the opposite sex? Do you have that magnetism to pull them in?

That are big questions and once we understand how to do that, the world is, as they say, our oyster.

Let’s begin with raw appeal.

There is something called animal attraction. Some of us have it and some of us don’t. This appeal could be attributed to a variety of aspects. It could have to do with the tone of your voice, your walk, our style, your personal scent, your body and your personality.

Take special care of these and you are half way there. Suppose you are a woman. You are asked to join a group of hundreds of women all standing in a line. Then select men are allowed to view all of you. Will you beat all the women and attract attention of these man?

If you can manage that, you are a winner. The same can be said for men too.

What about understanding the personality of the opposite sex?

Take a teacher for instance. She is trained to handle many children and knows how to teach them.

Do you know anything about how to handle the opposite sex? Have you studied about them? If not, you might want to check out some guides to the opposite sex and study up on that as soon as possible.

Making yourself attractive is the first requirement. Once you have a handle on that, you can easily manage to find a date in no time.

Good Luck.

With role models like Tiger Woods, Brett Favre, Jesse James, Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Snooki coupled with technology, it’s no wonder our morals and values as a society have completely tanked!

Over the last few years, primetime television has been gradually increasing our daily dose of lust, sex, smut, drugs and controversy to the point so many people are deafening to the little voice in our heads that tells us certain actions are just plain wrong.

Wake up people – we live in a world where women are obtaining wealth by shagging someone famous, luring them into text and phone exchanges and then threatening to or actually exposing them.

If you think I’m mistaken, take a stroll through Facebook or MySpace. Look at the language and photos of today’s teens! They cuss like worse then any sailor I’ve ever known. They don’t know the least about the concept “leave more to the imagination” when it comes to clothing and many are finding sport and entertainment in hurting or emotionally abusing their fellow classmates, friends and random strangers.

Those daily doses of deficient values are contributing to a society that’s just never good enough. Relationships are no longer sacred, they are disposable and replaceable – this goes for love, friends and relatives alike.

When over 50% of marriages end in divorce – there’s a problem people! When the average age at which a person becomes exposed to porn is EIGHT what ARE we to become? These eight-year-olds grown into adults who have a blurred concept of what real and meaningful intimacy is.

It saddens me to watch as we are grow more distant from recognizing the rewards and wealth we can gain in just making others smile. By always putting our loved ones first. When I was growing up and even into my early adulthood, I always thought of my actions and how they would impact those people I loved – making decisions with that one single factor helped me make wiser decisions, keep me out of trouble and off dangerous roads.

SelfLESSness is being replaced with selfISHness and people wonder WHY our world is so corrupt. Desires of the flesh are becoming stronger then desires of the heart with such strength that smart, intelligent and God fearing men are being sucked into the trenches of ill action and intent.

It’s SO obvious WHY people are NOT genuinely happy anymore. The grass is always greener someplace else. But what people FAIL to realize is taking care of, nurturing and fertilizing their own relationships will make them greenest of all.

The major lesson here is to keep in mind that with technology being what it is today – Everyone, everywhere, lives in a glass house and with the spite of one overly greedy person, those houses will shatter.

What do you think? Does technology make cheating easier? Does it place everyone in more fragile glass houses?

couple Why should you join a site like Positive Singles?

Relationship Advice – Keeping It Private!

privacy

Men and women alike are staying single much longer than before. Many enter into relationships that last a few months to maybe a year. Sometime after that year mark, they get an itch to return to single life before entering the next relationship. It’s a vicious cycle.

It may be an issue of personal beliefs concerning marriage, family have changed. As a society, we no longer adhere to the old beliefs that say we must settle down and begin a family soon after high school or college.

Now we know it’s ok to take an extra ten years or more after high school to be selfish and enjoy our youthful, single days. These are the days that we cherish. These are the days that we will look back on with little to no regrets.

When we do finally decide to settle down, after meeting that one special woman or man, we won’t feel an ounce of guilt associated with not having had enough fun in our younger days.

After we decide that settling down with that one special person, many of us have a hard time ditching the traits of single life. One of those being the ability to tell your closest friends EVERYTHING.

It can be difficult for some to get adjusted to being in a serious relationship. When you are just dating, it is not uncommon to talk to your friends – and to ‘kiss and tell.’ This is especially true for women. Whether it is the first date with a new man, the first kiss, the first passionate encounter or the first sexual encounter, women pick up the phone and describe, in detail, every second of the encounter to our best of friends.

All women are guilty!

Once you are in a serious relationship, this is one of those habits that needs to be tucked away with all those memories and habits of single days gone by.

You may wonder why? Why shouldn’t you have a special friend that that you can tell everything to?

Actually, you should. And that person should be your significant other, not your friends. Now that you have decided to be in that serious relationship, it becomes very, very important to keep all matters concerning your relationship between you and your partner.

One reason is very simply respect. Eventually you and your lover will develop the deepest bond. You will share things about yourselves which you assume will be kept confidential. It is not fair if you expect your partner to keep certain things between you two while you turn to your friends. You must respect the privacy of your lover.

Another reason is you will eventually encounter a few quarrels. It is in our common nature to seek out friends and discuss with them our private relationship spats to gain approval from them.

We all want to feel justified that we are in the right, and our partner is the wrong one. Sharing details may make you feel better for a bit, but that could end up being very short lived. First of all, your friends are only hearing one side of the story. Your friends are biased, of course they are going to stand behind you.

What happens then? You may feel the need to let your lover that all of your friends agree with you. Then you can mark yourself BUSTED!

Your partner now knows that you have been sharing your own dirty laundry with others. It is not fair to your partner and it will make matters worse. This will eventually lead to distrust. And everyone knows a lack of trust is an absolute downfall of every relationship in which it enters.

Whatever happens in your relationship should stay between you and your partner.

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule – and that’s what you were hoping for, right.

If you are in an emotionally or physically abusive relationship, you need to seek help elsewhere and from family and friends.

Or

If you just have a problem that has been digging at you for far too long, sometimes it just makes sense to seek help from friends, as long as you urge them to keep it confidential.

But in a very normal sense of a relationship, your everyday issues should be worked out between you and your love, not you and your entire circle of friends.

If you must share details, only divulge positive information. If your partner brings you flowers, tell the world! If they lover forgot your birthday, there is no need to share the details – all of your friends will think your lover as a jerk, and that’s a tough mess to clean up once the smoke clears.

Have you ever shared private information only to have it end badly? Do you think talking to your friends should be considered a breach in trust?

This week, Match.com is celebrating 15 years of helping singles find love online with survey results confirming their position as a leader in the industry.

Match.com recently completed a study of 11,000 people over a five year period, which concluded that one in six marriages took place between people who met through an online dating site. That comes out to 17% of couples who married during this period.

The Chadwick Martin Bailey study on online dating trends looked at three areas: Marriage, Online Dating, and a General Survey.

The world has changed,” said Greg Blatt, CEO of Match.com. “We get married older, we work longer hours, we move around more, we’re generally busier. These changes have put pressure on the way we traditionally have met our significant others. Luckily, with these changes has come an increasing openness to doing new things. Online dating has grown so much in part as a response to these societal changes, having become the third most important way we meet our significant others, even though it didn’t even exist 15 years ago.

Match.com launched on April 21, 1995. The original membership was only $9.95/month. Currently a one-month membership to Match runs $34.99. According to Match, more than 20,000 singles register on their site in the U.S. every single day.

The Match Online Dating survey conducted by Chadwick Martin Bailey shows a definite shift where more singles are meeting their spouses online than at bars, social clubs, and churches or places of worship.

The Match study also revealed that members have gone on twice as many dates as members of other online dating sites.

Match launched Match Mobile last year and recently added an Android application to their service offerings.

Today, everyone knows someone who has met a romantic interest online. Do you?

In fact, I met my love of over a year online – my mother and stepfather met online and have been married for 10 years. I know it can happen, because I’ve seen it and lived it!
