Even if you’ve been on hundreds of first dates, they never seem to get any easier, do they? Those first few minutes are always awkward and strained as you search to find something you have in common. You’ll be happy to know that this is so common that hundreds of books and websites have been written solely to give advice on how to break the ice during that first date.

Of course, more advice can’t hurt.

When you’re out on this first date, you might want to remember that you’re not the only one that’s nervous. If neither of you know each other, it’s going to be quite normal for the both of you to have some troubles talking at first. What you might want to do is have something immediately that you can talk about so that you don’t have to think about where to begin. You can even practice it if you want to.

Or you can do something that doesn’t involve a lot of talking first during your date – i.e. a movie – so that you both have something to discuss when you’re eating. Even if you don’t have anything else in common, you will have the movie.

The point of breaking the ice is to make you both comfortable enough to talk as though you’ve known each other for years or to talk enough to get to know each other a little better. And from there, you might continue the conversation on the next date.

In this world where beauty seems to be the ideal, it’s no surprise that some online dating sites are capitalizing on this trend. At DarwinDating.com, it’s all about the survival of the ‘hottest’ where only beautiful people can sign up and meet other equally beautiful people.

All you have to do is sign up – and then hope that others vote you in as ‘hot enough’ to be a part of this young, hip, and happening group of would be daters.

Sound restrictive? It is. The main concern with Darwin Dating is that while it sounds like it’s taking itself a bit too seriously, it really thinks that it’s cornering the market on those that value superficial looks above all else. And in this day and age, maybe that’s what people are looking for.

It sounds like a bunch of silliness to those that want to find love in someone who simply shares the same values as themselves, who wants to respect and love them for whoever they are. But for those that are tired of finding certain groups of people on the dating sites they’re currently using, this might be the perfect fit.

I guess that if you’re going to say that there’s a dating site for everyone, you need to include a dating site for everyone – even if the pretty people all want to hang out by themselves and talk about how pretty they are.

Do you have any comments, complaints or something to say about DarwinDating.com? Did you meet someone special on this site? If so, we’d love to hear from you. Your opinion matters!

If you’re heading to online dating sites to find new love, you already know how hard the dating scene is. Bars and bookstores just aren’t the hot meeting places that dating guides say they are. And even if you do pick up a guy or a girl at a club, the chances of them being a good match for you aren’t all that good either. You’re not alone in trying out the online dating landscape, though you might find that it’s a bit harder than it looks.

Some people are even turning to dating experts to help them create better profiles that match them up with more people. Too often, online daters aren’t showcasing their best features – like their personality or their good looks. And this is holding them back from finding the person that they could really connect with on a relationship level. Here are some of the tips from dating experts that you can use:

• Find three things that you like about yourself and show them off
• Be honest
• Don’t change for someone else

When you find out what makes you comfortable in your own skin, you’re going to find someone else that likes the person you are – no professional help needed.
