| Dating Tips: 13 signs he's dating a loser |  |
 I've had a bumpy ride as a single gal and have dated many guys who weren't worth my time. But that doesn't mean a girl can't be a dud, too! Case in point? That tragic and terrible VH1 show "Megan Wants a Millionaire," about a girl who's just looking for a rich man to pay the bills.

| Dating Tips: Is he only interested in sex? | |
The guy you just met is a real catch: Smart, funny, handsome… and totally available! You really like him, and based on all the sweet things he tells you, you’re pretty sure he likes you, too. Still, it’s no secret that some of us guys, at certain points in our lives, are more interested in seeing you naked than getting to know you. That’s fine if you feel the same way, but if it’s a relationship you want, you’re better off arming yourself with some dead-on detection skills. At the risk of foiling many a cad’s attempts to love ’em and leave ’em, I’ve spilled some of their most telltale tactics below. Spot these behaviors, and alarm bells should go off—and you may want to consider moving on to a guy who’s more interested in sticking around.

| Dating Tips: First Dates: Dos and Don’ts To Create Chemistry | |
Tonight is the night: You’ve dressed in your finest, popped a breath mint, and are headed off to meet someone who could be The One. Few moments are as pivotal as this initial rendezvous, and that holds true whether you met online, were set up through friends, or swapped numbers at a bar last Saturday. So: How do you get that all-necessary chemistry crackling between you as quickly as possible? Believe it or not, it’s not all up to fate. Anthropologists, body language experts, and other pros say there are plenty of strategies you can use to help your date relax, to build rapport, and even to instill a flutter of excitement. Try these tactics for a few instant sparks.
Tip #1: Plan an activity that’ll get your heart racing—literally
There’s a reason scary movies make for great dates other than the excuse to squeeze someone’s hand: Frightening experiences get your pulse racing, adrenaline flowing, your face flushed—and these physiological responses bear a striking resemblance to sexual arousal. "The mind mistakes any sort of arousal for sexual attraction, and will attribute this excitement to whomever you're with," says David Givens, Ph.D., an anthropologist at the Center for Nonverbal Studies. “In fact, in one study where men met women on a bridge high above rushing water, subjects were more attracted to each other than those who met elsewhere.” Not that we’re recommending you meet there exactly—roller-coaster rides or a hike up a steep woodland trail should do the trick. Even the sweat you work up while eating spicy food can get you hot under the collar for each other, so consider suggesting Mexican or Thai for dinner.
Tip #2: Mirror, mirror…your date
Want to convince the person sitting across from you that you two are totally on the same wavelength? Easy—just make a point of subtly mimicking their body position and the pacing of their movements, recommends Jay Arthur, author of Attracting Romance. "Sit the way your date is sitting, tilt your head the way he or she does, talk at the same speeds,” he suggests. On a subconscious level, people find similarity comforting, which paves the way for a stronger connection.
Tip #3: Dwell on pleasurable experiences
Sure, engaging your date in a lively debate about the pros and cons of the Patriot Act may be intellectually stimulating, but an intimate conversation isn’t about impressing someone with your smarts: It’s about getting your date to tap into his or her sensual side. So, steer clear of topics that involve facts and figures and get your honey mulling over more pleasurable thoughts instead. Questions like “Do you have any summertime vacations planned?” or “What would you say is the best meal you’ve ever had in this neighborhood?” will easily get you both in a better frame of mind to bond. "Talking about awe-inspiring experiences and the attached emotions — seeing the Grand Canyon, for instance — lets you relive them," explains Givens. “People get hyped up talking about something that excites them, and that emotion gets transferred to the person they’re with.”
Tip #4: Master your eye movements
Staring into someone’s eyes: It’s the oldest rule in the book. It indicates that you're confident, honest, and interested in this person—all of which can make a date’s heart skip a beat. And yet, it can be hard for daters to do this move with finesse. Don’t worry, no one’s asking you to engage in a staring contest. In the world of eye contact, less is more. "Don't immediately look away when feeling awkward,” says Laurie Puhn, J.D., author of Instant Persuasion: How to Change Your Words to Change Your Life. “Hold your date's gaze for one extra second—that's all you need to do.” If you’re having trouble, try shifting your attention to their eyebrows instead; it’s close enough that your date will still feel like you’re focused on him or her. Next, try this advanced technique: Let your gaze occasionally “dance” from one of your date’s eyes to the other, back and forth, which conveys excitement and creates a flirtatious mood.
Tip #5: Don't feel compelled to get touchy-feely
Eventually, if all goes well, physical contact—hand-holding, hugging, kissing, and much racier stuff—will naturally happen and will cement a bond between you. But at this early stage, all too often it can backfire. If your date isn’t ready for contact yet—either stiffening when you move in or turning the dreaded cheek when you go for a kiss—it can be hard to recover your composure and the date’s good vibes. The key is to let your date know you’re “in like” but not push too hard on the physical front. Your best bet for your first encounter is something sweet but not gropey. If a handshake’s your style, put a cozy twist on it by clasping your date’s palm in one hand and putting your other hand on top, warmly encircling their wrist. Or, try a seamless handshake-to-hug combo by grasping your date’s hand, pulling him or her slightly toward you and encircling your other arm around your date’s torso. To further cut the tension, say something like, “I had such a great time and am so glad we did this.” And unless you’re getting clear signs your date’s dying to be kissed—as in, he or she remains in your personal space with a smile and lots of direct eye contact—resist the urge to plant one on the lips or even the cheek. Don’t worry, there will be plenty of time for that later. And hey, you’re always better off leaving your date with something to look forward to.

I
really, we would all meet our future spouses, live in the same town, date for about a year and get married in two and never be separated again, ideally. I have friends who've done this successfully and then there are people like me. The best laid plans? Reality somehow interferes with. The easy way everyone else seems be blessed with, my road will traverse the toughest. Currently I am in a three-and-a-half year relationship; for the past twenty months, it has been long distance with me in Oregon and he in Southern California and Paul and I are not alone.

| Dating Tips: Attracted to the wrong person? | |
LoveMagic writes "24 November 2004: A couple of weeks ago a new girl moved into the block of flats where I live and I fell in love with her at first sight (normally I have to get to know someone first). Without going out of my way I see her irregularly, maybe once a week on average.
The other day I impulsively went round to call her, introducing myself as a 'good neighbour' type. Her reaction to me is friendly/polite/wary/open. I have not spoken to her in the last 4 days as I don't want to 'crowd' her, although I think about her 24/7. I don't want to ask her out, because I'm ( I estimate) 20 years her senior, and its just too wierd. "

| Dating Tips: 7 simple tricks to make your photos fab | |
Statistics consistently prove that adding a photo to your free profile gets you more responses. In fact, men are 14 times more likely to view a profile that includes a photo; women are 8.5 times more likely. If you choose to post a pic, however, make sure it's a good one.
"Sometimes the picture is so bad that I'd almost rather the guy hadn't bothered posting it," admits Robbin, 29. "It's so unflattering or fuzzy, I just click on someone else."
Here are some deal-breaking photo mistakes you should avoid:

| Dating Tips: How To Turn That First Phone Call Into A First Date | |
I got your book last week and have read the whole thing. Your techniques aren't easy, but they are something I can do if I apply myself diligently to your principles. The book is great!
I have been talking to 2 girls from my Internet dating site and got phone numbers this past weekend. Now that I have their numbers I was wondering what the best approach would be to call and setting up dates. I work outside the city they live in but have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday here, (and a lot of times Thursday evening). I have not called either of them yet, but was planning to do so sometime in the next 4 days - most likely Sunday - to set up dates for next weekend. I was hoping you could help me out here. How would you go about setting this up?

My first thought was if you could go step by step of what me and many other guys should be thinking about when trying to deal with something like: confidence, shyness. My problem is that I am interested in this woman. I am confused by what kind of signs she gives. I'm never quite sure if Ishould talk to her or not, or even when! I'm a mess. The woman that I'm interested in is also very shy as well and well, I'm not that talkative either.

| Dating Tips: Being A Sexual Being | |
A few months ago left I left my country and girlfriend of two years as a transfer student. My girlfriend became tired of a long-distance relationship and we stopped keeping in contact. However, I met a girl whom I fell for at first sight, but owing to my "loyalty", would not approach her. A few days ago, I put everything about my former love life behind and finally asked this girl out. That was when something happened - I found out that this girl has a the identical personality as my girlfriend! The way she speaks, looks at me, laughs-even her jokes have the same ring to them. I'm not imagining this!

| Dating Tips: Success for approach | |
GO FOR IT
You might think you can do better at dating? You're right. Read this. Most people are total failures for the first approach. Why? Because they bring fear and unhappiness with them.
The solution? Simply avoid this negative cycle:
Unhappy because nobody loves you -
Men and Women reject unattractive people - Being unhappy makes you unattractive - As you're unattractive - nobody loves you nor even smiles to you - And you're more unhappy...

I'm going to tell you how to check the depth of the water, and its temperature as well. Every answer from the girl has to be positive. If the answers are cold, don't push your luck. Let it go.

BE GOOD
Feel good. It helps in dating in Paris and anywhere on the planet. Radiate dynamic energy. Smile and exhale joy and happiness as if you were on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Find the right spot for your date. Be sure to give your date the feeling that every moment you spend together is precious.
Look good. Dress well before dating. Make-up well. Be at your best. I give you a very important tip, think about your shoes. Some people are so ridiculous with their shoes. Shoes betray your whole personality. They can speak more about yourself than any psychiatrist. So, please, don't ruin your style.
Smell good. Soap, shower gel, toothpaste, dental floss, perfume, deodorant and eau de toilette are your best weapons for dating.
Be good. Show that you are fun to be with and that the dating sun is shining in your head! When you first show up to your dating rendez-vous, if your heart is beating faster and faster, you can be sure you are lucky. A good dating tip to relax: breathe in and breathe out.

GET UP
First time you're being dumped? First time it hurts so bad? You have the feeling to be clinging to the cliff of your life. You feel you have been dumped from the top and rolled down till you grasped the rock. You feel you are garbage. You are garbage. You think you will never stand up? OK, I'm going to give you a hand.
But, please, don't tell me it's unfair. I know. Life is NOT fair. "C'est la vie." People around you are not happy dwarves, and we don't live in a monastery. So what?
Take my hand. Stop whining. Move your ass. Get up & go back to the top.

After a few dates with a very attractive woman, she began behaving in an unusually self-centered and inconsiderate manner, yet she was weirdly clingy and came across as though our relationship was much more intimate than it actually was. She kissed me on the first date and did almost everything else correctly, sometimes too correctly, but I kept noticing odd things about her attitude.

One of those elements is the wedding song -- it sets the tone for the evening and symbolizes a couple's love for each other. But if history has taught us anything, it's that we're likely to choose a melody that is anything but appropriate.
