Online Dating

By Jayde Johanssen

Back in the day, online dating was seen as something that only the socially inept engaged in. It was a last resort measure, a desperate move. No normal person would agree to date someone they had never met in person. That proscription has, for the most part though, been abandoned. Hundreds of thousands of people are taking to the interwebs to find romance. True love on the net has become fashionable, so much so, that more people now than ever before are connecting online. The internet is a top destination for romance. Even the older generation is getting in on the game.

The online dating industry is booming. Scan the net and you'll find sites like OkCupid, Yahoo Personals, and Date.com are making a killing online as more and more people are looking to the web to find their one and only. Finding romance on the web is becoming so fashionable that a whole bevy of matchmaking sites are cropping up by the hour; and these sites are specializing, gearing themselves to more discerning consumers.

If you're on the discriminate side, niche online dating sites can make all the difference. Niche sites are matchmaking services that are aimed at a single uniting factor like ethnic background or religious beliefs; however, there are tons of other niche sites. In fact there are niche sites for practically all interests. If you're into online gaming, there's a niche site for that. There are niche sites catered to dog lovers, bike enthusiasts, body art aficionados and the list goes on and on.

Practically every interest has a niche dating site catering to it.

So why is online dating so popular? It's a question that many skeptics-- those who've never dipped their toe in the online dating waters, so to speak-- ask their convert friends. For those who aren't immersed in the world of online dating, it may still seem odd. The internet is known for its fictions as much as for its facts.

And traditionally, it is a good thing to know what your date looks like, in person.

Online daters however, are not daunted by the critics. They're generally tired of the old hanging out in bars bit. They don't want to sit around just waiting for the right person to come along. It may not happen. Online however, it's a different world altogether. The internet is world wide. You can meet people from everywhere, not just your hometown. You're not limited. Communication is instantaneous and there are millions of possibilities. It's also a lot more relaxing to be able to chat with someone from the comfort of your own home, too. There's no fear of face to face rejection. It's easier to find people with similar likes and dislikes.

Online dating also has its benefits in times of economic or social uncertainty. Finding someone to talk to online when things are rough can be comforting. In difficult times people start thinking about their priorities. They start to yearn for someone to love and to cherish through the good and the bad. Online dating can help with that.

Of course there are a fair share of naysayers who bring up the cases that end in tragedy; or to a lesser degree, those cases where people are lied to, or mislead. However, these circumstances aren't limited to online dating. They actually occur as frequently offline as they do online. - 31368

Online Seduction - 8 Awesome Tips

By Charlie Jackson

Online seduction is simple if you abide by a few simple regulations! The first thing you'll want is a Facebook or Myspace account!

Though, before you go about sending out messages to attractive ladies, you have to have the finest profile possible. Follow these online seduction tips to help you with that!

1. When you message a woman online, she will doubt what your intentions are! It'll be quite obvious actually! She will involuntarily take for granted that you're some sinister guy, but you can evade this by having lots and lots of pictures on your profile where you're casually hanging out with other extremely beautiful girls!

2. Your profile photograph is incredibly essential as it could be the only thing she'll ever witness of you! By far the most excellent type of profile photograph you could have is one where you are just hanging out with a beautiful girl! Believe me, this will cause her to trust you!

3. Never show your relationship status! If you message a woman and she can notice that you're unattached then it instantaneously becomes clear to her why you're messaging! Be a challenge! Above and beyond, if she asks you if you're unattached then that is a apparent sign of curiosity from her!

4. Show that you're a guy of value! Go through your account for any childish spelling mistakes! In addition by no means use-- year old schoolgirl text language!

5. Erase any not beneficial wall posts that show you up as not being an alluring guy! If your friends are inviting you round to watch Die Hard, do you in reality want attractive girls to observe that?

6. The best variety of wall posts you could have are posts from beautiful women who are asking you out for a relaxed (or not) coffee and a catch up! This creates awesome trust with other ladies for online seduction purposes by proving that other girls find you desirable!

7. Never delete photographs of your ex girlfriends! Too many men make this blunder! You should be full of pride to show off that you are superior with ladies!

8. Close your profile to random access! She must have to add you to see your complete profile, which is another sign of interest! - 31368

Get the Love Back With Your Ex Boyfriend

By Tyler Armstrong

Men can be so much trouble for a woman. Of course, much of this frustration comes from the fact that us men and women just don't have a very good understanding of each other. This conflict becomes most apparent after a break up, where a woman is often left feeling very hurt and confused. If you're sick of being lonely and feel like you want your ex boyfriend back, listen up because I'm going to give you some advice.

First of all, you want to make sure that your ex boyfriend is actually worth your effort. Take a few minutes, and really think about that if you have to. If you imagine your future without your ex boyfriend, does it seem better, or worse?

You know you found a really good guy when you can't see anyone but him. If he's someone you truly want in your life and you you feel that you really know him and you can make him happier than some other woman can, then you may had something worth saving.

Why did your boyfriend get together with you in the first place? It was because he felt strong emotions around you and you felt strong emotions around him! If you're anything like most couples, you found that you just couldn't spend much time apart without at least thinking of each other. This is often referred to as "chemistry", a "spark", a "flame", or indeed, "love."

Sadly, if you've broken up and he doesn't seem to be trying as hard as you are to get back together, then the passion he once had for you has become weak.

My point is that if you really want your boyfriend back, then you have to begin to focus on rebuilding that lost spark of attraction. You can't convince your ex to come back to you; he left you for emotional reasons. Recharging his feelings for you is the key. - 31368

21st Century Safe Dating Tips

By Dorthy Weatherbush

Dating has been a way to meet people, learn more about them and eventually know. We derive physical enjoyment and excitement from dating overly when we are on the quest to find our partner for the meantime or for life. However, there has been alarming violence happening on dates, especially with blind dates where you meet a person for the first. It is always best to be at your guard before taking a dive in this emotional and social activity. Here some tips that will keep you safe when dating.

Perhaps the most obvious cause for concern is the location of your date. You should never invite someone to your home for a first date or give exact information where you live. It is always better to meet in a public place such as a restaurant or art gallery, where you are surrounded by other members of the public. This way you don't have to feel uneasy about any potentially dangerous situation. You might also feel more comfortable choosing to meet during daylight hours.

Conversation is key on a date, but avoid giving out too much personal information, such as where you work. It is acceptable to be a little vague in the beginning, telling them what area you work in - such as an accounting firm, is better than giving them details of the company name.

Don't allow someone to talk you into anything your not comfortable with. Be in charge of yourself and don't be led astray. That could mean turning down an offer to drink coffee at theirs towards the end of a date. They might try to persuade you but trust your instincts and make sensible decisions. There is no call to rush into anything at an early stage.

Always inform a good friend of who you are dating and where your planning on going. If you have any doubts, schedule a time for your friend to call you and check everything is alright. Keep your mobile phone with you at all times. If you live alone, it might be reassuring to have that friend wait there for your return.

Plan your travel arrangements when going on a date. It might be that your date might give you a lift to your meeting place or back to your place, until you know them better, politely refuse and take either the public transport, your own car or a friend drive you to your destination and back home.

Limit your first date to a specified time. Letting them know that you have other plans that need attending later on in the day will allow for a good "exit" point.

Take it easy on the alcohol. This can go for anytime, but more importantly when your dating someone who was previously a complete stranger, you don't want to make yourself vulnerable and allow them to take advantage. Drinking too much alcohol could lead to things that you really don't want. Know your limits and stick to them.

These rules might sound like coming from your overprotective father, but you will never know when you will get entangled with the activity of introducing yourself to a complete stranger, especially at the height of online dating. Following these and other safe dating tips you will be able to take your mind of the worry about being safe on your date and focus more on the dating itself. - 31368
