 Let's admit it, we all want a beautiful and handsome lover. We don't like someone who is aesthetically unpleasant to the eyes. The notion of platonic love does not exist anymore in this day and age. We can't blame these people since the physical appearance of the person is the first thing that someone's going to see in us. Since this is the case, it's very important to look our best every day to attract our potential date. Remember that as you walk in the streets on your way to work or school, one of the people you just passed by is perhaps your soul mate. Bottom line is, your look affects the way people view you.
My best friend is very beautiful and intelligent. She couldn't get a date from hot guys since she looks like trash. She doesn't comb her long brown hair and doesn't pluck her bushy eyebrows. Men even tease her as Hermione Granger because of her look. We often advise her to have a makeover, but she doesn't want to. She keeps telling us that if a guy truly loves her, he would accept her for who she is. We convinced her that in order to find a man, she has to get a date. To get a date, she must take time to clean herself or at least look presentable to attract guys. I gave my friend an article about makeover looks that I printed from my new laser 1600 printer. Guys don't really like beautiful girls per se, but they like girls who look very attractive and simple at the same time.
You don't really need plastic surgery just to get a date. What you need is a good hairstyle, nice sexy clothes, and perfect scent to drive him nuts over you. Buying expensive clothes is not a must-have for dates. Just wear something simple and comfortable like floral skirts and cute tops. Don't wear jeans and oversized t-shirts on your date. It's a big turn-off for guys. Apply a little make-up like lipstick and blush-on to accentuate your natural beauty. Never overdo your make-up. You might scare the guy because you look like a clown rather than his date. The last thing you have to remember is to be yourself. That's the best accessory you can ever wear.

Whoever says single parents are not allowed to find another mate is dead wrong. Single parents still have the right to be happy even if society dictates for them to just take care of the children. I recalled my Asian History class. Widowed Indian women are required to commit sutti the moment their husbands die. They are not allowed to enter another marriage even if they wanted to. But this is not feudal India, it's the postmodern era now. So dating single parents is perfectly normal and acceptable in most societies.

 Finding a mate while tending to your children and working seems like a tedious task. Although there are many available fast and convenient ways to meet your perfect mate like speed dating, it's not easy to find a mate that can last forever. There are cautions to take note of because the welfare of your children is also affected by whom you date. This means that you have to be really careful and meticulous in dating someone. Don't just pick anyone from the streets. Choose who you know loves you and will take care of your children. It's better to meet someone whom your children is comfortable with.

Letting someone, whom a single parent barely knows, into the house is the number mistake among dating single parents. If you meet someone during speed dating or blind dates, don't give away any personal particulars because you don't know the person very well. It's better also to start off as friends to know the person more intimately. It will also establish good relationship between the new partner and your kids. Never force your children to like the person you're dating because it's not going to work well for you. Lastly, the most important thing that you should rememeber is to be honest with your children. Talk to them openly about your date and assure them that nothing's going to change. In this way, you can have a healthy love life and family life.

My best friend is twenty-seven years old and she's never had a boyfriend in her entire life. It's not that she's ugly or abnormal. I think guys in the office are scared of her because she's an achiever and they think that she's so uptight. My friend often gets depressed because people see her NBSB status as her flaw. One time, while having snacks and eating our favorite Oreo cookie cake, I suggested speed dating to her. It's a fun, fast, and good way to meet guys who complement her personality. At first, she was hesitant but she eventually agreed. Before she joined speed dating, I gave a lecture about the do's and don'ts of the said activity to help find her prince charming.

Carolyn McKline, date expert, advises men and women to use the art of flirting, eye contacts, and suggestive hand movements to give potential mates a clue that they are wanted. She also advises everyone to dress well and to be presentable, since first impressions last. It is also believed that to have a number of questions in mind is a plus factor. As such, daters will never run out of things to say. The dating guru also tells us not to be gullible. Instead, we should be critical at all times. This means that we must never accept all the things that our potential mate says as true. We must be well on our guard, especially if the other person is drop-dead gorgeous. It is also common sense not to give away important personal details like account numbers and passwords for atm cards. Needless to say, the bottom line is to always be in control and to enjoy the experience.

Although speed dating can be exciting and fun, you should never forget to take caution and to remember the dont's in speed dating. It's very vital to know such tips since not knowing them could hamper the great romance that you've been dreaming of. Carolyn Mckline advises speed daters to be true to themselves; never create imaginary and fictional stuff. She reiterates that lying won't do anything good. Your real personality is the best "clothes" you can ever wear in any situation in life. However, you should remember your etiquette. Never use foul languages and converse about boring topics. Such a situation, my friends, is a major turnoff. Anyway, while your speed dating, remember to write down details on your card -- so as not to forget Mr. Prince Charming. You never know, may be "the one" is just one of the people across the table.

 There's absolutely nothing wrong with asking for a photo if you were going to date a guy or a girl. I mean, schmeeves, dudes. What's a profile for if it doesn't have a photo? The last sin you'll ever commit at pre-dating stage is to eat out with a total no-name-face gal. After all, you won't ask a girl you meet on the subway if you haven't caught a glimpse of how curvaceous her ass is. Or how you like the glint of her curly eyelashes, or even the sight of her attractive auburn hair. Photos speak way more mysteriously than a Mona Lisa portrait -- especially if they belong to strangers.
Saturday, May 5. 2007
Guideline Number One is to never date someone who hasn't placed a photo in her profile. This is the Visual Age (as it has always been) so no matter how much Adobe Photoshop retouching has been done to a butt-ugly missus' photo, it's still way better than none at all. The bottom line is that you got to have an idea of how she looks like and it will always be up to you whether you'd be happy to go cellulite-hugging or fugly-kissing anytime of the day. As things always spiral down to a happy ending, if she shows her butt in the photo, it would be a hell lot better for both of you.

I don't know if it works with girls, but I know a woman named Cindy who doesn't look at a guy's face to tell if he's a hot number or not. She can always tell by intuition. Guys aren't so smart at this. They talk on the mobile and convince the lady she's going out with a nice dork, only to realize she comes around with a boyfriend that looks like he's got a nine-inch nail. Profile photos can really trick you, so ask the girls how to learn to intuit whether someone is a gravy date or not. But I'd stick to the guideline, if I were you.

 There couldn't be anything more classic than the classically "contrived" icebreaker. Call me a butthead but there's no single tip to cracking the ice with any woman but spontaneity. Ian, one of the coolest guys I know (butter-faced, guy-wise), doesn't have to contrive anything to get women to talk to him anyway he wishes. Maybe he does know what makes the chiquita bananas tick, regardless of how skinny he is, by simply not thinking too much about trying to break the ice. I've circumlocuted, I know. But the clear meaning is: Don't push it.
Wednesday, May 2. 2007
Icebreakers are for the bold. If you're the shy type, you might as well start practicing now or you'll wilt like the leaves in Arizona summer when facing the most gorgeous girl in town. I still believe asking what the girl does on weekends is too lame. What comes naturally is often just a simple straight look - that's about as sincere an icebreaker you can make without saying anything. Some guys would rather babble than make eye contact. I won't blame them - cracking the ice with the dames is too risky!
Tuesday, May 1. 2007
Sure, guys get rejected. This is exactly the reason why they won't take the effort to beef themselves up psychologically when it's the wrong woman with the right pick-up line. It's cool to be honest right away, though. For example, you'd have to sense whether the girl is single if she has a ring or not on her finger. (Of course, you should know her pretty name first). If you can't see that, you can ask her right away. The interest you show can be overwhelming. This is spontaneous, and far more convincing than any other.

Before I could even finish saying the word "sex dating", Geena was already a well-versed sex dater. Nelly Furtado's most-downloaded upbeat track "Promiscuous Girl" won't suffice to describe her. I won't blame this addiction. You could see all these directories of dating sites everywhere! The funny thing is, she would like to try even the gay and senior sites, and she's only 21! She calls herself sexy, and deserves to sex date. She carries prophylactic, of course.
Sunday, April 29. 2007
Because these sex dating directories are easy to find, they generate enough traffic to allow people to sign up as members at no cost. It would be exhausting to sift through all these links. But if you find the right dude or bird with the sickeningly sexiest photo, you can hook up with him asap. Better yet, if you're into orgies, (Geena isn't, she confesses she can only handle one bedmate at a time), you can get yourself networked and have the time of your life going out on sexual rendezvous at your beck and call.
Saturday, April 28. 2007
 So how to pick the dating site whose success rate of hooking people up is high? Check out the directory's dating tips and ratings. Obviously, the more members a site is, the more people are enjoying the sex dating opportunities it offers. I won't mention where Geena likes to browse, though. She likes to place ads of fantastic nature - a sexual impersonator she is. Roleplaying is one of the reasons she likes to browse a sex dating site. It's always about having dandy time.

Are you a party pooper? I don't mean this in the context that you are out to ruin the show when people are having fun. I meant this in the literal sense: do you poop at parties? In this case, my dating idea won't work with you. Because food and sounds do mix. Dating couples relax when they know they aren't the only people who are supposed to share the responsibility of having dinner while trying to think up of something to say. If you poop during the party, what would everyone think of you?
Thursday, April 26. 2007
So here's a clue: if you do attend parties with a date, make sure you aren't mixing fondu, sundae, and hotdogs together. Make sure that you're also mingling around and having a session at the microphone if it's a videoke party. One wacky way to create an exciting dating scene is to set up a party (however weird it is) with your friends or any other couple who wish to join. Some possibilities include progressive party, potluck dinner, and pizza party (forget the sundae, ok?).
Wednesday, April 25. 2007
These are pretty explanatory, but for those who are at the fourth row, a progressive party needs a bunch of willing victims who could cook up something for every meal course, and the party bunch visits each meal-course-house as the meal progresses. So you'd have aperitifs at Casey's, main course dishes at Hannah's, cocktail salad dishes at Gary's, and dessert at Russ'. A potluck, on the other hand, requires all daters to bring foods of their own at the potluck party. Just make sure everyone knows what everyone's going to bring, to avoid messing the party up.

There are cute pickup lines, and there are pickup lines that make me want to rip a guy's throat. Either I overhear the conversation from the next table at the bar, where some corny dude approaches a decent-looking girl, or from a domo that looks like William Hung's younger brother trying to bring a cute dame to the stage. If you ask me, I'd rather not approach a girl and give pickup lines that truly suck, such as "Your father must be a mechanic...blah blah," or "Nice shirt - can I talk you out of it?" If you want to live until the next day with your two cheeks (in your face) truly intact, be real. I mean, don't act like a goddamn pathetic idiot.
Monday, April 23. 2007
 So how does a guy change from a nice-looking club hopper or exec to an asshole with a blotchy face overnight? Before you get slapped or worse, beaten like there's no tomorrow, make sure you know what's funny or what's not. Believe me, a pickup line only works when it's too comic to be noticed coming from a desperate creep. Make it appear natural, as though you were just trying to have fun in a cool way. Girls do it, too, and it pays to know what makes them tick. So you're staring at her boobs, but you aren't really aware how she's been looking at you behind your back.
Sunday, April 22. 2007
You walk past her (the girl can do this, too) and say "Excuse me, but did you just touch my ass?" The girl may react violently, or simply ignore it. She may also stare at you as if you're losing your noggin. If she says "No" give her a dimpled grin and say "Damn!". Now, experiment with this simple question, anytime you walk inside a bar and sit beside a lady or a guy. Say "What's wrong with you?" This should definitely be a great way to break the ice, if not your arm. It will probably force the girl to rethink her plans for one night, because she just met a dork looking to get laid.

How do you prepare for a date? Ian McNeice listed fourteen things to consider when you are arranging a date with someone. First, make sure that the date will be sooner. It is better to schedule the date early in the evening to allow for things not to be rushed. Do not let your first date be too formal. You should choose a less formal fun venue for your first date. Concentrate on the person and not on the location. Put effort into your style, dress, and presentation. It is also important that you leave your house tidy and presentable. You don't know what may happen after the date.
Friday, April 20. 2007
 Maintain simplicity and do not impress your date with your wealth. Do not ever drink right before the date because the scent of liquor may not appeal to your date. Have fun while dating by playing music to remove any tension that you feel inside. McNiece advised that you come early for your date so you have enough time to prepare yourself. It is also important that you be organized. Don't come late for it will create a bad impression on your date. Lastly, do not call your date to check what time they will arrive at the venue.
Monday, April 16. 2007
I was surfing the net yesterday when I saw this article on dating. It was written by Ian McNeice. The article specifically tackles how to ask someone for a date. So, if you're not playing any online computer games, you might want to take down notes. McNeice listed down thirteen tips. First, ask yourself if you have the right reasons to ask them for a date. What will be your reaction if they say yes or no? Be prepared for rejection and do not take it personally. Practice what you want to say so that you will not be tongue-tied. Ensure you already have the details of the date, like the time and venue, in case the person says yes. Be ready when that person asks you the reason why you want to date him/her. Anticipate this moment "would you like to come to dinner, I have always thought you are great fun..".
Also, make sure that your request for a date does not pressure the person. Always smile and be confident when asking someone for a date. Make sure to have an alternative date and time or location in mind if the person is not certain with his/her schedule. If he/she says no, don't
ask for the reason, just move on. Make sure that you actually intend to go through with the dating. Ian McNeice also mentioned that if you are being asked out, don't play games. Be honest if you need time to consider the offer. If you want to say no, say it immediately. Do not keep someone hanging just for the heck of it. Then, try to avoid dutch-courage such as using alcohol to boost your confidence level. This strategy often backfires. Finally, you should ask them privately instead of in front of her friends.
