Relationship…for some that word stirs up fears of commitment and for others it conjures up the idea of ever lasting love. For many on the dating scene ‘ever lasting love’ is their ultimate goal but how do you find someone to go on a date with and once you do how do you go from date to relationship?

While the person you’re dating may be looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right, they may not be looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right now, meaning pull in the reins and go a little slower. But let’s start at the beginning instead of jumping straight to the finish line. Let’s get back to the basics.

To get back to basics, let’s start with a history lesson. Dating can be a scene right out of your High School memory banks. Many are haunted by memories of their first date and the nervous tension that resulted from the anticipation of it: “Did I pick the correct outfit?” “Will I smell good to them?” “Is my breath okay?” “What will I say during those awkward moments of silence?”

Things haven’t changed that much since High School. Often the same questions come to mind and you will still get that same sense of nervous anticipation before embarking on a first date with someone.

Dating can be a very intimidating time to even the most experienced and savvy dater. Recently I asked both men and women who dated frequently (3-4 times a week on average) if they still got first date jitters. The same answer echoed through 93% and that was a resounding, “Yes!”

Amazingly enough, even those people who seemed confident and poised; those who seemed to have an endless amount of dating potential as well as a line of prospective suitors, still got first date jitters. So for those singles that still have troubling memories of their past dating experiences, how do you jump into the dating pool and begin to swim again?

Unlike swimming in a pool filled with water, don’t dive into the deep end of the dating pool first even if you remember how to swim. There may be sharks lurking waiting to attack. It’s always best if you start in the shallow end of the pool first. Start out small by meeting people in groups at functions until you feel comfortable enough to seek out a dating partner. After that hurdle is crossed then by all means dive right in to the dating pool!

Where can you find a dating pool in your area? Because many people have a select group of friends, they tend to see the same people at all of the functions, B-B-Q’s, parties and other events. Same faces with the same stories that become all too familiar. So where do you meet compatible and available singles? Here are a few suggestions:

1.Find charity events in your area and attend them.

2.Look in your local paper for events that singles would go to. Social functions, chess café’s, ice cream socials, etc.

3.Find sporting clubs (the kind of clubs that actually have participation such as water or snow skiing trips.)

4.Take a specialty courses at a junior college or community center.

5.Go to your local coffee café and sit on the comfortable chairs that are in the round to make conversation more likely.

6.Your local grocery store can be a buffet of single people. There are specific times and ways to approach people that I talk about that in my book, but don’t have the space here. Use your best judgment.

7.Check out reputable online dating services (be careful, more later).

If you’re nervous, as most of us are, prepare for your first encounter just as you would when vying for a promotion at work. Practice ahead of time! Make up a little 3×5 flash card set with subjects you are comfortable talking about or questions that are conversation initiators (forget about the weather, that’s a dried up subject).

Here are a few you can use that are sure to spark some interest:

1.Read or watch the news ahead of time and discuss current events. Stick to positive uplifting ones and stay away from politics and religion. Example: Recently in the news there was a story about an autistic boy whose lifetime dream was to play basketball. To be close to the sport he did all the dirty jobs for both the boys and girls teams at his school. The last game of the season he was allowed on the court and scored a slam dunk.

2.Talk about your family (positively). Example: I have two brothers and one sister. Growing up we…

3.Liven up the conversation with topics of any recent travels. Example: Recently I traveled to Washington State to see the Fish Market in Seattle. Talk about your experiences there and what you saw.

4.Ask about their career and how they happened upon it. Example: What do you do for a living? What made you decide on that career path? Did you go to school for your career choice?

5.Ask about their family (if they shy away, you need to also). Example: Do you have brothers or sisters? Does your family live close?

These are just a few topics. If you can’t think of any yourself pour over the Internet for resources on topics of conversation. While I gave you a few suggestions above, there are many more I am sure you can come up with. Because online dating has become the norm for meeting people I want to outline a few tips for using online dating services.

When you join an online dating service you have much the same feeling of anticipation and excitement as you do when you are about to go on a blind date. The prospect of having people approve of you and possibly accept you as someone they want to have around them is exhilarating.

But how do you create a powerful and compelling online dating profile? You’ve heard that honesty is the best policy…It is. Be honest. The person you’re trying to attract will eventually agree to meet you if you have written an eye catching profile. Eventually the “real” you will pop out. You don’t want to get dumped once your feelings are involved.

Statistics show that people can only keep up a façade of pretending to be something other than they are for approximately 3-6 months (there have been cases of years but that’s not the norm). If you want to find Mr. / Mrs. Right, adhere to the honesty policy and represent yourself exactly as you are and not want you want others to perceive you.

Be clever and funny in your profile but be sincere. (Think of the online dating profile as if you were actually speaking to them in person for the first time.) If you’re funny, then show it in your writing. Don’t tell someone how funny you are, e.g. “I’m funny and have a great sense of humor.” That won’t make them a believer.

Here is an example of something funny and clever. Football fans will enjoy this one. (This is not for your profile but used as an example of funny lines I have used when talking to an audience.):

“If your partner is more concerned about that 3rd and 1 on television, than the 4th and 23 in your own living room, then you might be another statistic on the playing field of love. Tell them to not try for a 58 yard field goal, go for six instead.”

Do you see what I’m writing about? Word pictures are very powerful tools that help draw the reader in and help to reveal who you are and what you’re about.

Another important aspect of your online dating profile is pictures. Show them a picture of you. A picture speaks volumes about who you are. If you say you are sporty but have a picture of you sitting on a couch, what does that say? Use a picture of you on a bike, in a race, waterskiing, etc. Don’t use a High School picture if you are in your 20’s or older. Use a recent picture. They will find out what you look like when they meet you. Why draw someone in and then have them ditch you if you don’t look the same?

The eyes reveal a lot in a picture. If they sparkle with what’s called a “catch light,” the viewer will be more drawn to you. (A catch light is the little light that shows up on the pupil). If your eyes look suave, the viewer will probably click you away.

Make sure to do a spelling and grammar check before you post to an online dating site. Words that are spelt incorrectly and bad punctuation can tune a lot of people out and then they will click you off.

A few last words of advice: Forget about negativity in your profile and don’t talk about ex-relationships. That will give the reader a sense that you are a serial dater and perhaps a heartbreaker.

Avoid phrases like: “I don’t play games.”; “I love long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and romantic nights by the fire.” You can show them that when you meet them.

Every person I have surveyed in the past has said that lines such as the above are red flags and a sign that he/she is a “player.”

Online dating can be fun, exciting and successful, but be safe and enjoy the process. When you finally connect with someone on an online dating site, agree to meet at a coffee shop during the day. Never go off in their car no matter how safe they seem, always take yours.

We publish up to date news stories from the world of kitchen appliances. Recent bad news from the US includes the news that Whirlpool corporation are to close its manufacturing facilities in LaVergne, TN, U.S. and Reynosa, Mexico.

Production of built-in refrigerators currently manufactured at the LaVergne facility will be moved to the company’s Fort Smith, AR facility, and production of side-by-side refrigerators made at Reynosa will shift to Whirlpool’s Ramos Arizpe, Mexico site. At LaVergne, approximately 500 jobs will be eliminated, while at Reynosa, an estimated 750 jobs will be affected. The Fort Smith plant expects to add approximately 275 jobs by December, and the Ramos Arizpe facility plans to add an estimated 600 employees by mid-year.

Like wise in the UK, wher The Electrolux Group has announced that it is to close its loss-making cooker factory in Spennymoor towards the end of next year and consolidate production into an existing cooker plant in Poland. The Spennymoor factory manufactures AEG, Electrolux, and Zanussi cooking appliances - mainly free standing cookers – plus a smaller number of built-in ovens, for the UK and Irish markets and has approximately 500 employees.

“This development, in combination with a shift in consumer preferences from free-standing cookers to built-in cookers, has eroded the competitiveness of our Spennymoor factory. Running a loss-making factory is not sustainable which is why we have decided to consolidate our UK cooker manufacturing into our factory in Swidnica in Poland.” said Magnus Yngen, head of Electrolux Major Appliances Europe.

The closure of the Electrolux cooking appliance factory at Spennymoor means that cooker production in Britain will be limited to range cooker production plus a handful of niche built-in manufacturers.

Mark Date asked:


The average Australian family no longer necessarily consists of a mother, father and children. In today’s society we find a variety of different set ups living happily side by side. Singles are on the increase and are increasingly found to be enjoying this additional time “on the shelf”.

Decreases in marriage rates, increases in the divorce rate, wider acceptance of cohabitation, same *** relationships and the growing independence of women all have helped shape the diverse society we find today. Having children outside of wedlock is considered the norm and the increases in cohabitation mean that not all family separations are documented - making the figure far higher than the 33% divorce rate documented by the Australian Bureau of statistics. Of the people who do marry, most are doing it later in life - the average age for a man to marry now stands at 30.5 and 28 years old for women. Divorced people have a far higher likelihood of remarriage compared to those widowed with 56% of divorced men heading down the aisle again and 46% in women - in contrast only 3% of widows were likely to remarry.

So what does all this mean for today’s aging, once again singles? In some ways its good news. There are many more daters of both sexes available on the market! Businesses of all types have sprung up to target this market segment with singles speed dating nights, singles socials, singles clubs, singles online dating sites, singles adventure activities, singles friendship meets and even single Christian congregations! In the UK well known supermarkets even advertise singles shopping nights with statistics showing that singles often end up meeting their would be partner at the supermarket.

Finding a partner, if that is what you want, need not be a stressful or desperate endeavor. Singles who are confident and comfortable with themselves and who are happy socializing will always do well but not all is lost for those a little more shy or who live in an area that is less densely populated than central Sydney!

Online dating sites make it easy to chat and to meet other people with similar interests. Online dating allows anyone to be a social butterfly - with some sites offering the ability to set up groups for singles to attract those with similar mindsets to your own. Of course the best online dating sites for singles are free - it seems silly to spend money on standard communication tools such as webcam chats, groups and email contact. Commercial sites end up costing a fair chunk of money that could be invested in self improvement or on socializing. Larger sites are impersonal too and can easily overwhelm the genuine dater as the professional, serial romancers take all the credits. Why not choose a smaller, well set up site and really let your confidence build - set up some groups, be the initiator of conversations and take a more positive step towards being one of Australia’s marriage Statistics!

Flying solo can sometimes have a certain stigma attached especially for females. The singles stigma can become more intense as we age. There is sometimes expectations from family for their 30 + year old sons or daughters to wed and have children and live happily ever after.

 

An alarming 1 in 3 marriages will end in divorce, not to mention the spill over of a failed marriage which can sometimes takes years to undo, its little wonder we are increasingly choosing the singles life nowadays. Pressures such as the high cost of living and other related financial burdens are attributed to many divorces. This is resulting in less reproduction which sees an increasing ageing population emerging.

 

 

As baby boomers age some end up divorced, widowed or have chosen to stay in the singles lifestyle. The singles lifestyle often reflects a ‘live for the moment’ logic which is fantastic and should be experienced by us all at some point in our lives, although there is an increasing amount of singles remaining single and are not planning for tomorrow.

 

This pattern sees ageing singles experiencing and prolonging the ‘lifestyle’ and running out of funds and employment options when they reach their 30s and 40s. This particular group of singles are at more risk of depression or self harm than any other group as research suggests that was carried out at Lexus University. This self destructing lifestyle is becoming the ‘norm’ more than ever among ageing singles which could result in our future and security as a whole come under question. This carefree lifestyle could in fact create less of everything we currently take for granted with ageing singles not playing a part or contributing to society for our future everyday needs where in fact they become the problem. This may well result in less offspring, less fathers, less Mothers, fewer Doctors, less police, fewer volunteers, less school teachers, fewer military, and the list goes on. This could eventually snow ball     and result in  short falls in our every day products and services we assume as a given.

 

So in theory what could result is a larger drain on social services with a declining number of qualified or skilled workers to carry an even bigger load resulting in lopsided societies in terms of qualified workers vs unqualified unqualified workers. If western society doesn’t change its attitude within the next 10 - 15 years, this most certainly will be the emerging outcome.    

 

So is there a fix for this inevitable out of control destiny that is waiting for us? Do we as singles enjoy too much freedom with no means of applying the brake? Does this raise concerns about our 100% unrestricted access to virtually everything on offer? Is democracy killing us slowly?

 

Unrestricted freedom seems to have created a monster among singles that constantly needs to be fead. This beast only grows bigger and hungrier as many of this group are constantly looking for a better social buzz.

The number of ageing singles using free Online dating and chat room services are increasing compared to 5 years ago.Free Online dating and chat services that have offered statistics for this research claim that in 2003 their data base for singles aged between 35 - 45 was at 23%. The same free online dating and chat services have offered statistics for this same age group in 2008 and now show that 35% of their data base consists of this age group. Up 12% in 5 years. This is proof that there are more and more singles simply remaining single for longer than ever before. 

 

Singles travel is a trend that has seen this demographic alter. In 1993 two in ten travelers went abroad as singles. Amazingly, Fourteen years on saw 2007  statistics rise to  six in ten travelers going it alone. Is being partnered up really that bad? It appears many singles are taking life by the horns and riding off into the sunset and are reluctant to return to contribute to the core fundamentals desperately needed for our sustainability. With all the technology and power the world has created we have no immediate means to stop it.

An online dating agency is the place you visit when you wish to meet your soulmate. You can also visit an agency when you want to have other kinds of relationships. These relationships may be friendships, short term flings, pen pals and others. This is a one stop shop for singles. There are hundreds of online agencies for dating. You will find an online dating agency for various groups of society. The groups may be religious for example, agencies for Muslims, Christians, Jews and others. The agencies may be for *** people. You will also find agencies for locals and others for international connections. Over and above this, you will have an online dating agency that has branched of to cater for certain groups. For example, there are single parents online dating agencies, for seniors, professionals, millionaires, executives and the list goes on. It is truly amazing how the face of dating has revolutionized since the onset of Internet or online dating. It is against a backdrop of mixed reactions that this new way has been received. More and more people are signing up to the agencies for matches. This is mainly because of limited time. Many are busy making their economic dreams come true. There is therefore a great need and, an online dating agency will come in handy. A good agency must come with certain qualities and they include the following.

First, they must make sure that their members feel safe. Internet predators like to take advantage of these interactions to wreck havoc. An online agency needs to formulate a clear policy to enhance safety. There are several things it can do to enforce this. First, it can screen all the members for a criminal background. It can also warn criminals to keep of. Failure to this, certain punitive measures to be implemented. You can never compromise on safety. An online dating agency needs to run its affairs in a professional manner. From the content of their sites to the processes, people should feel they are registering with a competent agency. In this regard, they will need to offer a high quality service for members. Many agencies have a private policy. This should not be cosmetic. All information given in confidence should be kept private. Apart from making matches, a good service needs to provide additional information for the members. This could be dating advise, dating news, a monthly newsletter and others. This will ensure the customers or clients are satisfied. The issue of cost will come up. An online dating agency should never extort money from members. The fee needs to be realistic. Offering free services will ensure many singles join the service.

As a single person looking for love, take time and look for an agency with the above quality. Finding love will be made easier and, you can look forward to meeting the man or woman of your wildest dreams. A good agency will make the process fun. Above this, have an open mind and enjoy every moment.



Dating News

Joe Davidson asked:


 

Just before three weeks, while going through the pages of the news paper, a small news item caught my eyes and immediately grabbed my attention, it was about adult dating sites. Though dating is something I was never very good at, I couldn’t resist the temptation of going through the news in detail. Having thought about devoting some of my leisure time to a new hobby, the news seems like a blessing. I remember thinking, “hmm, me in adult dating sites? Could I really do it?” Let me tell you, I have never felt more alive than I do in the evening when I am in those adult dating sites.

Adult dating sites are amazing, I may be a slow learner of the dating process, but the instructions in the adult dating sites ensure that I am doing just fine. Although I am quite shy and embarrass easily, I no more feel the same as people I meet on adult dating sites belong to different countries. But I am sure I can deal the things successfully. It’s a goal I’m working my way toward.

Adult dating sites have done more for me than just occupy my leisure time, as cliché as it sounds, I gain confidence with each step, and that helps me deal with issues in my everyday life. I also managed to talk a few of my friends into joining some adult dating sites. The three of them joined and they seem like they are having a lot of fun.

As for now, I’m having the time of my life in adult dating sites. The people I met over there are the best people I have ever met, looking forward to meet more people like that.
