Do men like “the chase?”

Posted on September 2, 2010 with No Comments

Do men like “the chase?” Of course they do!  Ladies remember that men love competition, that is why they enjoys sports so much. Trust me, you do not one to be the one initiating the relationship. I have noticed in my dating life that the harder I was to get the more they wanted me. I even had a boyfriend, literally bring me a box of special chocolates every time he came to my work, and these were not chocolates from the local drug store either.  Guys like to know they had to prove themselves worthy of your affection. After all if you are truly special, wouldn’t you expect to be treated as so?  I know a lot of guys wont admit it but I believe men feel the best about themselves when they are in a position to act like a prince. It is not just women who like this fairy tale, boy’s from the youngest of ages like to play the hero. So ladies let him be one and then you will find your prince!

Ladies, follow these rules

1) With online dating, don’t initiate a flood of emails. Some women email multiple times a day which makes them appear demanding, needy, or high maintenance. Frequent contact can cause him to feel crowded. Initially, let men set the pace.

2) Don’t Call to Say Hi, Check in, or Discover Why He hasn’t Called. This is seen as pushy and desperate. If you don’t like the slow pace, perhaps the guy isn’t the right one for you. If you feel compelled to call when you haven’t heard from him, don’t make more than one light-hearted and friendly call. That’s it. Either he’ll pick up the ball or not, but leave that ball in his court.

3) As horrible as this old saying is, “There’s no reason to buy the cow if the milk is free.” The double-standard is still alive! While all men don’t feel this way, it’s pretty hard to know who does and who doesn’t before it’s too late. The best course of action is to hold off on intimacy to insure you’ll get the respect you want and deserve.

Do all men have wandering eyes?

Posted on September 1, 2010 with No Comments

To put it plainly, I think men and women still notice attractive people even when they are in a relationship.  There is a difference however on how much time you take noticing them.  Make a effort and be respectful with the one you are dating to not look around and keep your focus on her/him.  Also this is to the guys, DO NOT GAWK at women, it makes you look pathetic!

Dating and Social Media: A Few Rules for Success

Posted on September 1, 2010 with No Comments

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare - Over the last few years, these networks have completely changed the way we live our lives.  We are connected in new and exciting ways with people... so many people.  

Which begs the question, How does social media affect dating?  

Well, much like other technology, sometimes social media can get in our way.  In order to prevent that from happening, it's important to be thoughtful about how we use it, the messages we're sending out, and how we interact online with the people we're dating.

Here are a few smart rules to follow:

1)  Be conscious of the fact that your date will google you. Make sure that the information available about you online is consistent with the story you're telling about yourself. Update and clean up your online image, as required.  

2)  Remove the pictures of you and your ex(es) from your facebook and other social networks.  

3)  Don't tweet or post status updates about your dates. Those updates might not be as private as you think they are.  

4)  Be cautious about adding your date to your social network. The first date is probably (definitely) too soon. Wait until you're sure about how you feel for this new person, and vice versa.  Unfriending is awkward.
