Dating Basics

May 3, 2008


 The Basics of Dating

1) The person you are dating deserves respect

2) A good dating partner is upbeat and positive

3) Never force your date to do something he or she doesn´t want to do

4) A date that is planned is often more successful than a date that is thrown together at the last moment

5) If you are dating one person exclusively, be faithful–trust is the foundation of all relationships

6) Ask questions to learn more about the person you are dating

7) Never ever let someone talk you into violating your own principles

8) Be comfortable with yourself. You cannot be good at dating if you don´t believe in yourself.

How to choose Mr. Right

September 27, 2007

Mr. RightSo, you feel you’ve seen it all. A woman meets the man of her dreams (as she would often describe him during the first few months of their relationship!), they date, and before you know it, that all-too-perfect man becomes Mr pain or Mr Know-it-all. Others try to revive the relationship but as statistics show, most go down the drain.

Before that all-too-painful relationship ensues, there are ways to prevent it. If you are already in one, here are some pieces of advice to make your relationship a slice of heaven (or wake you up, whichever is applicable!).

To be able to make the right decisions in relationships, you must first ‘know’ what is right. If you have to choose to marry or stay single for a few years more, what would you choose? Both choices are good in their own right, but choose which one is better for you.

Love can happen within half a second

September 27, 2007

Love at First SightDisbelievers in love at first sight may have to think again, because a new research done by Florida State University shows that it takes only half a second to decide if someone is attractive and a potential mate. But is that real love in a time when the trend is gearing towards instant gratification and quick-fix relationships?

A guy meets a girl. He finds her attractive; she has a great personality and is cheerful too! What will most probably happen is that he will develop an instant crush on her or should we say love or lust at first sight? VJ Cyrus Sahukar feels ‘love-at-first-sight’ means you develop an affinity for someone who fits into the prototype of what a person you want. “Love is a very deep emotion, so I would definitely not call it love. All this instant gratification and liking you see in films, but real life is very different.” When you fall in love at first sight, it is sure that you don’t know the other person. But something in you, something that is difficult to explain — intuition, tells you that this is the right person.

What after the first meeting?

September 27, 2007

Waiting for her callAfter your first meeting, if you are a little hesitant and still deciding if she is interested then email instead of calling first. You could start with a charming email to get the conversation started and then tell her that you are going to call in a day or two. This has the effect of making contact with her relatively quickly, but still creating anticipation because you haven’t actually talked.

Call the next day, and make a joke about the situation. I might call and say, “Yeah, I was watching Swingers and they said to wait three days to call, but I was kind of in more of a one day mood…”

If you didn’t get her email address and you must use the phone, just do your best to avoid being average.

Attention spans of humans are getting shorter and shorter. We have more and more information coming in from television, newspapers and other sources - then maybe you wait for too long, you’re risking either being seen as using a technique, or risking being forgotten altogether. Whatever you are feeling, just make sure your moves are right for her.
