Is seems universal that people find confidence attractive. But at what point does self-assurance cross the line to arrogance and thus become unattractive? This week I was contacted by a self-described alpha male. These men are typically proud to be dominant, “my way or the highway” kind of guys. They consider compromise wimpy. They often rise to the top of their profession, sometimes by bullying, intimidation and manipulation. Curious, I responded to his email, asking about his statement, “I will be a *Best Selling* Author (shortly)” (sic — emphasis his). He has…

Add this to me catching him staring at me a lot, complimenting me A LOT, making up cute nicknames for me and smiling as bright as the sun when he sees me.

Recently, BR reader Magnolia shared a lengthy quote on lying from which the first line stuck out for me“As soon as there is any kind of deception, stop everything.” (source: Boundaries in Dating) Experience has taught me and so many others, that when you’re eager to date at any cost, you don’t trust yourself, and you’re actually willing to participate in an unhealthy relationship, you don’t stop everything – you continue. What this immediately communicates is that you’re very receptive to lies, which may shock you if you consider yourself to be…

When I was a product design student, I learned through theory and experience that it’s better to recognise mistakes, which are actually opportunities for change, or even ‘failure’, which although it’s a lack of success, it at the same time also represents another opportunity for change. Recognising when something isn’t working and applying that knowledge was better than deciding “I am a product designer and anything I make is right and must work.” If you’ve ever watched something like Dragon’s Den, a British show where entrepreneurs pitch…

Despite the new ‘evidence’ that scuppers your ‘case’ for a relationship, they tell you they like you a lot and that…

This is what spontaneous looks like: You’re dating or in a relationship for a while, you see each other regularly, make plans in advance and then one day they phone up and say “I just found out that X is doing a gig tonight – do you…

96% Of Us Are More Stressed Than Our Moms Were; Cut Yourself Some Slack

On the Today show this morning, they reported that a whopping 70% of moms in the U.S. say mothering is “incredibly stressful.” On top of that, 96% feel we are far more stressed than our own mothers were. While I can certainly relate (I am a working mom with two kids), I always find reports like that interesting, because I think they can paint a picture of us as martyrs, when in fact, we’re the ones who typically bring this stress upon ourselves. And if we would just cut ourselves some slack, we could probably alleviate a lot of this angst. Yes, things like the economy, financial…
Demi Moore Reportedly Hospitalized Over ‘Whip-Its’; Couldn’t She Have Just Had Some Wine?

After days of rumors, reports now indicate that “whip-its” could have been the drug of choice for Demi Moore and the reason she was rushed to the hospital earlier this week. And here I thought sucking the air out of whipped cream bottles was just for teenagers to do as a cheap and stupid way of getting high when working at Ground Round or Ben & Jerry’s. Media outlets are now claiming the actress reportedly had a seizure after inhaling nitrous oxide at her home. Known commonly as doing “whip-its,” the activity generally involves inhaling the gas from a whipped…

According to New York Daily News, the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that she’d called for help on Monday night. This afternoon, Moore’s rep issued…

Dating resolutions for 2012

Resolutions are not just declarations of what you wish you could accomplish. They are firm decisions, according to the dictionary. So as we enter 2012, what commitments, pledges and promises do you make to yourself about your dating activities? Here are mine to get you started: * Keep hope alive. It’s easy to get disappointed and depressed when you think you’ve found your special someone, then to have it fall apart. Or to find the singles interested in you aren’t the least bit interesting to you, and those you find intriguing don’t feel similarly. * Be flexible.

I read it quickly: “I came upon your book Single Mom Seeking and we’re interested in optioning your title for possible development… Please don’t hesitate to contact me.” My eyes went to the word “possible.” Yes, he’d said possible.

One concerned friend did ask: “But will it make your home smell like whiskey all the time?” Fortunately, we have agreed about one thing: no carpet. After more research, however, he has made some good points: although bamboo is renewable (it’s a grass that…

For as long as I can remember, I’ve spent a lot of time looking out windows. I was that kid who daydreamed in front of windows. As an adult, I curled myself up into a ball in front of many windows, longing for comfort. For much of my life, though, I’ve looked through dirty, grimy windows. I never took the time and energy to clean them. (I don’t really know anyone who likes to clean windows.) My half-attempt was too much Windex, which only smeared my view. Looking back, I never did the work it took to clean my windows. It’s no wonder that I couldn’t see clearly.

The concept is simple: couples wanting to meet other couples for social encounters (not adult dating or swinging, however - there are many sites that cater to that niche market already) can sign up, log in, and create a profile for the kind of couple they are looking for. Think of it as Friendster for couples, or as both of the websites mentioned above call it: couples dating. I may have been single for a while, but I would never have…

Low Income Mothers Don't Trust Men

... or so says a study shared in the Journal of Marriage and Family, as reported by Science News. Almost all of the participants in the study (96%!) were found to have "strong distrust" of the opposite sex, yet when asked about their current relationship, they stated it was of a "trusting" nature. As well, the distrust of said men didn't stop these low income women from entering into romantic, long term relationships. I have to say that reading this study made me pause, as did the friends I shared it with. The actual information didn't surprise any of us. Rather, the percentage of women is…

Rani asks: My best friend got me and her childhood friend to start talking, but he lives 6 hours away from me and I've never met him. He told her initially he's not looking for a girlfriend, which was cool because I figured we could be friends. We talked for hours on the phone. For 4 months we were close. Then he started saying things like, I can't wait to see you, you're so interesting, you're my best friend. That got me really excited, and I thought maybe he meant as more than just friends. I'd planned to meet him at a wedding near his place as a friend of mine had invited me. I told him…

WSJ - Jan 24 - Badoo isn’t well known in the U.K. or U.S. but the service is big in France, Italy, Spain and Brazil and operates in 180 countries. Russian-born serial entrepreneur Andrey Andreev founded the service as a run-of-the-mill social network in 2006. Badoo, he says, is like a nightclub on your phone. The most popular age group is 25-34 years old, although one-third of users are over 35. This latter group spends the most money. It has 7 billion page views a month, and ~1 million users online at any time. The company is profitable and did one round of funding. $30 million from Finam…

He used to call you every day, now he sends you a text. He used to ask you out for the weekend, now he doesn’t mention when he will see you again. You ask him what is wrong.

Tum to mere har khwaabon mein baste the Tum to har pal meri baahon mein rehte the kya wajah hai jo ab tum kareeb nahin aate Ab kyon dard bankar meri aankho se behte ho, Shaam ho tanhaayi ki, ya phir raat ho siskiyon ki Har pal haath uthaa kar tujhe hi maanga maine, Gham ne kar liya hai kaid mujhe is andhere me Par tum to roshni ke liye mera dil jalaaye baithe ho, Hontho par tere rahe hum humesha saans ki tarah Machalte rahe hum tere…

When Do You Call a Woman?

Mario

23 Jan 2012 | 3:53 am

Most people say, ‘wait for 2, 3 days, and then, yes, call – but never do it right away!’ Is that the right approach? Maybe – it depends on the girl and on the situation. Here I will give you a few tips on how to deal with it. I’ll give you a few examples so you can understand what I’m talking about: 1- You barely know her, and you got her phone number fairly quickly – you met her in the subway, in the street, etc In this case, the girl is a cold contact. She might or might not remember you after a couple of days – so a call between 48 to 72 hours after you met could be the…
My Unique and Spontaneous 1-Day in Paris Date

Mario

10 Nov 2011 | 9:50 am

Once a while I want to share a story with you. This (craziest) adventure happened just a bit more than a month ago. It was a cold, rainy Saturday morning in Copenhagen – pretty much the norm in this side of the globe, and I was chilling in bed with my girlfriend. Nothing too special – we were just chatting, watching some series and resting a bit after a long and hard-worked week. After a while, with midday soon approaching and no plans for the day, we started brainstorming about what we could do… Cinema? It had been a while since the last time… Eating brunch out? Maybe… The rain and…
One Place With 8 Girls For Every 1 Guy

Mario

4 Oct 2011 | 9:16 am

Last month I joined the International CBS Choir in Copenhagen. I never imagined myself singing, and even less now that I’m especially busy. But hey – there’s a catch, a catch that dragged me in and will drag any other courageous guy as well. In the choir I sing, there are around 60 girls (!), and, counting me, there are ONLY SEVEN GUYS. This is not a Danish phenomenon – apparently choirs round the world are filled with young, beautiful and lovely ladies and only a handful of guys. Only ballet and some random dancing lessons have such a magical ratio. Best, unlike at the club, bar or…
How to Overcome a Sexual Fetish

Mario

18 Aug 2011 | 2:55 pm

I bet that there’s ONE thing that excites YOU more than anything else. Maybe it’s women’s feet – maybe it’s girls wearing leather pants, pantyhose or maybe it’s uniforms. It can also be some certain hair type or color, bigger or smaller girls, etc. It’s normal – all men are especially attracted to something. Almost everyone has a fetish – almost everyone feel especially aroused when they see a particular object, clothing or body part. This is not harmful – on the contrary, it spices up your sex life. It’s fun – as long, of course, that you keep it in control. If it…
How to Write a Love Letter

Mario

31 May 2011 | 8:23 am

The magic of a real, physical letter cannot be duplicated by any of the new forms of communication. A letter is, in the end, something tangible, something we can touch, keep and hold and that can be preserved in a way that emails, phone calls or text messages will never be. A love letter is an actual testament of love – and it’s a record of your relationship that will stay with your woman for the rest of her life. It’s not cheesy and it’s by no means outdated – writing a love letter is a beautiful and very romantic thing to do, and receiving one can really mean a lot for your…

Should Online Dating Come Naturally?

Brad

23 Jan 2012 | 10:00 am

I recently had a reader contact me to let me know that he was giving up on trying to use online dating. He listed several things that bothered him but a big part of his argument was this: Online dating should come naturally and if it doesn’t come naturally for me, then I guess I shouldn’t be using it. Online dating is hard and that’s a problem…right? I think the idea that online dating should come easy is a common misperception. It’s easy to see why people would think online dating would be easy: log into a website with thousands of singles looking to date…
A Unique Approach to Match.com Instant Messaging

Brad

16 Jan 2012 | 10:00 am

Some time ago, a friend of mine shared with me an approach to have success using the Match.com Instant Messenger. He didn’t come up with the approach himself but stated that the guy he knew who was doing this had a lot of success with it. I have never used this approach but it sounded interesting to me and I wanted to share it here. If you find yourself tiring of the traditional email a woman, wait, email a woman, wait approach then this might be something worth giving a try. Match Instant Messenger: The Gateway Communication So basically the approach goes something like this: use the…

It has been a year of romance for our much-loved celebrities. However much we enjoy reading about scandals and dramatic break-ups in the tabloids, it’s always great to see a functioning celebrity couple standing loved-up on the red carpet. It’s an inspiration to every one of us, whether we’re looking for love on free dating sites or are happily married. Here are a few famous duos who have shined through this year’s headlines… Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart This duo has already warmed the hearts of many in their on-screen vampire-filled romance The Twilight Saga.

Online Dating After Divorce

Brad

9 Jan 2012 | 10:00 am

A marriage can seem like a lifetime, and it is certainly supposed to be. But we all know life doesn’t work out like that, and things change. Divorce can be an incredibly stressful and exhausting process but once you’ve got through the other side, when is the right time to start dating again? The answer is…there is no answer. Sorry, but only you know when you’re ready to dip your toe in the dating pool. The important thing to remember is, don’t rush into anything. It’s unlikely that you’ll be searching for another marriage so soon, so now is the time to relax and have a good…

Married Topless Dancers

26 Jan 2012 | 12:14 pm

Don't assume all topless dancers are wild and crazy singles. A lot of topless dancers are married and some have children to support. It's very important to ask a dancer if she's married when you first meet her. Why? STAY AWAY FROM MARRIED TOPLESS DANCERS! This is a dead end street and I strongly recommend that you have nothing to do with married dancers. You're certainly not going to get anywhere with her. Don't even pursue a married dancer. It could be hazardous to your health. Her husband could come looking for you if she complains about you always trying to hit on her at the club. Also, he…
How to Pick Up Rich Women in Nightclubs

24 Jan 2012 | 11:59 am

Here is some advice on how to pick up women nightclubs:She is usually dressed in expensive clothes and perhaps wears a lot of gold and diamonds. She may be a bit on the snobbish side because she thinks she's better than everyone else. If you are on the same level as this woman and well-to-do yourself, you will probably score with this woman. However, if you are not well-dressed, dignified, and have a low income, you probably won't even get to first base with this woman. It's really sad that some women just can't accept you as you are.There's a way around this if you want to do some acting and…
2 Common Problems Men Have with Women

20 Jan 2012 | 9:36 am

(1) You don't think you are attractive enough. This is much less of a problem than most men think. Sure, it is easier for a handsome man to make the very first moves. Girls tend to give him appreciative looks, which boost his confidence and help to get him started. But the less attractive man will find that once he has approached a girl (and this is very easy to do) he can be just as effective as a more handsome man. Women are usually more impressed by a man's personality than by his appearance.(2) You don't know what to say to open a conversation. This problem is quite easily solved. There…

It will be important for you to analyze for yourself each of your past and future failures. Using what you will learn, you will be able to identify your mistakes, thereby making correction and change in your approach much easier.When one learns to play tennis, he is bound to hit some balls into the net. If he makes no effort to correct his stroke, then balls are going to continue to go into the net and the player is going to become frustrated. If, however, he analyzes every hit, watches the projectory of the ball, is aware of his stroke and the angle of the racquet head, and makes necessary…
Golddigger Topless Dancers

11 Jan 2012 | 11:57 am

This topless dancer is only interested in taking you for your money and whatever else she can get out of you. Sure, you may get a few dates but it's only to eat at fancy restaurants, drive your fancy car, going on extravagant dates, out-of-town trips, to get nice gifts or money from you, etc.She's just using you and stringing you along. After dishing out all this money and expenses, she may not even sleep with you either. It's all an act to tease you and use you. She may act like she's interested in you, but she's only interested in what she can get out of you. Look for these signs when you…

A marriage is supposed to last forever, but we all know life doesn’t always turn out how we expect. Things change and so do we; it doesn’t mean you have to give up on love. Getting a divorce is an incredibly traumatic and draining process. But once you’ve got through it, when is the right time to start dating again? Well the answer is… there isn’t one. Sorry, but only you know when you’re ready to get back into the dating game. The most important thing to remember is not to rush into anything.

10 Jan 2012 | 10:18 pm

I know this is old news, but it is new to me, especially since I don’t pay too much attention to entertainment or celebrity gossip, but apparently former playmate Jenny McCarthy has admitted to using the Match.com dating site and is even looking for a “Nice Guy” on it. Of course, this just goes to show how out of touch I am since I didn’t even know that she had broken up with Jim Carrey. Apparently Ms. McCarthy has setup a Match profile which people would not recognize her profile as herself. She says that she uses a picture of her sister in the profile and is fairly…
Does Ashley Madison Work?

10 Jan 2012 | 3:23 pm

While it is hard to quantify whether any online dating website works for anyone, or whether one site is more trustworthy in it’s business practices than others, I feel that there is some evidence out there that suggests that Ashley Madison is used and does work for some people. Though I have personally never used the site, I will point out a few people who have written about their experiences using Ashley Madison, along with their approach to finding dates or potential affairs on the site. And while these experiences are limited to particular people’s experiences, hopefully the…

Leftos - Lessons for the Opposite Sex
She wants more too

23 Jan 2012 | 2:33 pm

New Answer - Sounds like she's still interested in you too. I'm with @OohLookasquirrel in that you need to ask her out. From your description it sounds like she's finally moved past her ex and maybe wants to give it a shot. I don't think you've got much to lose. Just go for it!
ask her out already!

16 Jan 2012 | 9:04 am

New Answer - The fact that she's communicating with you right now seems to be saying that she wants to be part of your life. She may be hoping that you'll ask her out. Some girls always expect the guy to make all the moves, and by dangling herself in front of you again, she could be hoping that you'll bite. Or, maybe she just wants to be friends again. Hard to tell what's going on in someone else's brain. If you don't want to be just friends, then you should go ahead and ask her out. If that's what she wanted, everybody's happy. If she says no, then you should be open and tell her that you'd…

So I decided it was best for me to step back. We stopped talking altogether a little while after until she recently sent me a message. I still have really strong feelings for her and think about her a lot, even before she had messaged me. I have…

New Answer - The men involved in dating older ladies, as they are more experienced and more capable of dealing with the relationship run smoothly. Older women are more mature, financial integrity and good lovers. Be yourself. It is a local sex relationship you because she loves you; you provide, its spontaneity, and fun. So, do not even think of yourself as someone you're not. Take it somewhere it is by no means been before; show her that you're different from other men your age.

Top 5 Ball-Busting Nicknames to Call Women

Preston

27 Jan 2012 | 4:29 am

Nicknames are the hallmark of flirting. If you can call a girl a comedy name that is also accurate, she’s go weak at the knees for you. Especially if she’s really attractive and you’ve got the balls to do what other men wouldn’t dare. Here’s my top 5… 5. Missy This is a good generic name to call any woman. If she’s being a little bit on the fiery side. Missy is a great, affectionate yet flirtatious name you can use on pretty much any girl, young or old. 4.

Learning how to be the bad boy seems to be a very popular subject when it comes to getting girls. Especially in today’s society where we seem to be exposed to these so called bad boy types all the the time. You see them constantly on the news, some macho, cocky, arrogant sort that seems to be playing women for fools. Yet women still love these guys because they are attractive in so many ways.

If you want to learn how to get a girl to chase you, there are certain methods that you can use. In order to make women chase you, instead of doing all the work, you do not need to work hard at all.

This change is not difficult and it is suitable for anyone who would like hot women to chase after them. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t ;-) Due to human biology, women can’t choose who they are attracted to. Women tend to be attracted to a certain type of man and that is what…

Shaping up your social value is one of the most surefire ways on how to get girls to like you.

They had this air of cool and positive social value.Worry not if you had zilch noteworthy buzz back then, as we all age, graduate from college (if you did go), and our social value takes on new constructs and possibilities outside our academic circles.Your social value is an indicator which other people use to determine whether or not they should get to know you.

People were getting along, or sitting far from the relatives they just couldn’t deal with. At some point I was making the rounds with my mom. It was her side of the family and I could never remember everyone’s name (my memory always has been shit). One of her cousins asked me about my love life. Even then, when I was so much younger, that was pretty much all anyone wanted to know. No…

We need a revolution. When I grew up in the 60’s, young people rebelled against materialism and morality. We said “Enough!!” and fought back against the establishment – an establishment we regarded as corrupt and clueless. When it came to a war we thought unjust we chanted, “Hell no, we won’t go!!” When it came to materialism we said, “We don’t want it!!”, and walked about with no shoes and holes in our jeans. And when it came to traditional morality, we rejected it and gave ourselves to free sex, drugs and rock and roll. It had an enduring impact on our…

Yet for many people, this whole holiday season starting with Thanksgiving and ending with New Years is anything but wonderful or happy. Now, there may be a variety of reasons for this. For some people, it is the first year since a loved one has passed away, which makes for sadness. Others experience the whole season being separated by many miles from their family and friends either because of job…
Bad Theology = Bad Marriage

Mark Gungor

22 Nov 2011 | 12:45 pm

There is line of thinking that began in American culture during the hippy movement of the 1960s and has continued to grow in popularity until it proliferated even Christianity. I’m referring to the concept of “unconditional love”. Over and over we hear people talking about how we need to love others “unconditionally” and how others should love us “unconditionally”. It also has morphed into the idea that God’s love for us is “unconditional”. What a bunch of horse manure! Nowhere in the bible does it say that love is to be without conditions…in fact, the phrase…
Marry a Believer

Mark Gungor

8 Nov 2011 | 2:08 pm

People have all kinds of ideas and notions on whom they are to marry, how they go about finding “the one” to marry, and the list of standards and ideals they have for the one they marry. Let’s clear up a few things, shall we? The bible doesn’t say anything about waiting for your soul mate to get married. It also doesn’t say anything about God having that one special person just for you…although people will argue with me on that one! What it does say is that we are to get or find a spouse—that means you don’t sit and wait for God drop one into your lap. Check out my new DVD…

You have to understand, it’s been a crazy couple of days. First of all, I have been super jet lagged. This was sort of a surprise to me. I always thought jet lag was a lie rich people told to brag about their amazing trips. “I’m so jet lagged from my trip to Tahiti,” they’d say. “You just want to brag about your trip to Tahiti,” I’d think. Insert a silent “bitch” at the end of that sentence, if you’d like. Well, I…

**Don’t ‘Hate’ Her—Imitate Her!** Women, want to know one of THE smartest things you can do to maximize your dating/relationship success in 2012? Look around and identify one or two women who are always surrounded by guys. She’s the kind of woman who is VERY comfortable being a friend to men—not just a date/girlfriend/lover, but an “easy-to-be-with” friend. Men can spot that kind of woman from a mile away. She feels free enough to throw her head back and laugh with them; yet she knows when laughter is out of place and confrontation, debate, or even departure are in order.

TODAY’S TIP (For Men) *Listen to Her, Don’t “Fix” Her !* When a woman lets you into her inner world (her problems, dilemmas, and fears) she is NOT necessarily requesting your advice. She’s sharing it because talking to (and being heard by) her man is a way she prepares to “fix” her own problems. So what should you do, sir? Hush! Open your ears. Close your mouth. Swallow your brilliant advice! She’s a woman hard at work. And your willingness to just listen, helps more than you know. TODAY’S TIP (For Women) *Seek His Opinion (Like It Matters)* Men have an…

This is what young Italian couples are doing to express their amore… Most people have pretty standard practices of showing they love someone.

But those crazy Italians, of course, have to take it up a notch by putting love on lockdown — literally. Amorous couples eager to prove their devotion are attaching padlocks inscribed with their initials to the famous bridges of Italy — and throwing the keys into the sea in a…

Disclosure to flat out closure. The end of a relationship can lead to a string of unanswered questions that leave a void. These questions can linger and fester and drive you crazy. And you think if you only knew the answers you would be able to move on – or if you were on the other end of the breakup, maybe you feel the need to explain your actions, seek forgiveness, make up for your mistakes. But is confronting the other person always the best option? What are we really doing to ourselves when we write that e-mail, send that last text message, or ask for that final face to face…

She had started a blog a few weeks ago about entering into a new relationship and the question about when you have to have full disclosure to the other person – She had asked me, when do you have to be an honest and open book? Obviously the first question in our mind is when do you tell someone you are writing a dating blog? For me, I have not had to disclose this fact into a conversation with a guy I was seeing. I did have a long distance relationship this summer (ask and I might tell!) but the night I met the guy, Nicole…

3 Ways To Reduce The Cost Of Dating

Going Dutch can really help to reduce dating costs, and remove some of the pressure on you and your date — especially early on in the relationship. These days, there’s nothing wrong with the modern gal paying her own way, and being frugal is definitely on the rise. 2.

Brr, It's A Little Nipply Out.

Lennie Ross

28 Jan 2012 | 2:01 am

The cold weather is here and so are my nipples, and I am not going to hide them despite a recent article on EcoSalon declaring nipple visibility a fashion faux pas. I’m not some feminist radical Jane Fonda of the 70s type women, but I hate bras. I hate the way they feel. They are uncomfortable. They bind, they chafe, and when you have small breasts, they ride up. There’s nothing to weigh them down. I’d like to burn all my bras, but I’m afraid the stench of melting fabric, under-wires, and foam in my fireplace would draw unwanted attention by the police and fire…
Stealing the Soap

Since childhood, I have predominantly dated Jewish men. My first love was an eleven year-old boy named Jimmy who I met in Hawaii over the Christmas holidays. We were staying in the same condo development in Lahaina—a place where the non-wealthy vacationed, far away from the fancy hotels of Kaanapali Beach. On our last day of vacation, he knocked on the door of our condo unit and asked if he could kiss me. I said no. I hope I didn’t break his heart. I like Jewish men. They tend to be educated, kind, intellectual, successful and respectful of women. One thing amusing I have noticed…

If you have been following Shoe Friday from when I used to just post it on my Facebook page, then you might recognize these...I also have them in red. That was when I was being smart and buying two of a great shoe. Also, back when I could afford it, before I decided to self-publish my novel, Blow Me. These YSL black patent open toe platform heels with criss-cross straps are the perfect date shoe. When you're running around in your flipflops getting toes painted silver, and that cute guy who knew the right way to hit on you at the gym calls to meet you for an impromptu coffee,…
Let’s Hear It For The Tan

Lennie Ross

14 Jan 2012 | 2:03 am

I was recently on vacation in the sun, and I have the tan lines to prove it. Despite the fact that sitting in the sun is now bad for us (talk about an ill-spent youth), I enjoy having a bit of a glow to my skin. It makes me look and feel healthy. However, I hate tan lines. I prefer to tan topless, or ideally, in the buff. Unfortunately, most places don’t permit nude or topless sunbathing. Could we be a little more of an uptight society? If men can take their shirts off in public, why can’t women?

Well, here I am again, the real Carrie Bradshaw, showing off my insane shoe collection. These are one of my favorites.... a YSL bootie in grey fabric that has just a little sliver shimmer in it. I can't help feeling sexy and stylish wearing these. Highly recommend all women get something like this. It's the perfect date shoe. You can dress them up or wear them with jeans to movie. And, you'd be surprised at how comfortable platform shoes are.

I’ve never been the type of person who has felt the need to constantly be in a relationship. I treasure and appreciate my alone time and other than Valentine’s Day or Christmas, holidays where I can bank in on the gifts, I’m pretty much all right without a significant other by my side. Many people however, cannot fathom the idea of being alone and are constantly falling in and out of “love”. These individuals believe that…

Dating Qualities Change as We Get Older

jenn

26 Jan 2012 | 3:01 pm

As kids and teens, our relationship ideas were focused on how cute a boy was, what sport he played or if he had a pool in his backyard. Perhaps they were simpler times, though I clearly remember the dramatic break ups and all of the feelings associated with these early relationships. It’s only logical that as we grow older, our relationships evolve and the qualities we look for in a partner change. We as people become more complex, therefore allowing us to embark on more complex relationships. So as adults, what qualities do we look for now? Who has replaced the varsity athlete with a…

There is no such thing as the perfect partner… or is there?

At the start of every dating seminar I speak at, I ask the attendees what their ultimate goal is with regards to dating and relationships. By far the most common answer is to end up with “the one”… that one special person that matches all of their core values and surpasses everything else they look for in a romantic partner. Whilst this is a lovely ideal in theory, how do you know when you have definitely found the right person? If you journey through relationships sequentially like the majority of people do, how do you know that there isn’t someone better suited to you out there each…

This article will explain how shyness isn’t necessarily a bad thing and provide some tips on how to overcome it.

I know many will disagree, saying that it’s only polite to answer each and every email with a “yes, I’m interested” or “thanks, but no thanks”. Even sites like Match.com recommend answering all your emails. I respectfully disagree. If you are interested –…

Everyone deserves to feel special. Appreciated. Loved. A relationship remains in balance when people express this in some way … whether it is a card, a grand gesture or a simple surprise. I think it is very important in not only friendships, but in dating relationships to make sure you let the person you are with know how special they are to you. We all get caught up in the mundane responsibilities of life. It is very easy to become complacent and plod along without fanfare. But, I have discovered that life needs fanfare and needs celebrations and needs moments of surprises. It keeps life…

Your basic Peter Pan (or Petunia Pan – women can be commitment phobic too) if you will. The serial dater will most likely never move beyond the third or fourth date before needing to find someone new to share a meal, movie or a bed with.

So, I was taken aback at a conversation I recently had with a gentleman who informed me that anyone who was…

I know I do. Words are easy for me and I prefer my expression to be in the written word rather than verbal. But, when you connect on the phone and hear the person’s voice and can hear things in their voice that you…
