Is Online Dating the Key to Your Inner Vixen?

October 19th, 2008

Just when you thought online dating was dead, another success story emerges. A once shy woman turns into a dating diva – and finds love along the way.

It’s the new American/Worldwide dream, isn’t it?

By being able to surf around dating websites and truly learn what parts of yourself are positive and worth mentioning, you can begin to see just what a valuable person you are to your prospective dates.

Instead of having to hang out at a bar with other women/men who are more attractive than you (or, at least, it seems to be that way), you can go online and be anyone you want. Or you can be exactly who you are, but with more confidence than you might have in person.

From learning to chat with others online to posting a profile that sings your praises, you can turn a dating slump into a time when your calendar is full.

If you’ve been feel depressed about your dating mojo, it’s time to start heading online to rediscover the fox you really are.

Online dating helps you:

  • Be confident
  • Announce your dating preferences
  • Meet people from all over the world

The odds are stacked in your favor, no matter what dating website you might choose or what networking site you might list yourself on.

Stop feeling like a dating disaster, and find your inner diva once more!

To Date or Not to Date – Is There Even a Question?

October 4th, 2008


When you’ve been around the block a few times, you might become a little gun-shy in terms of dating. And it’s no wonder really. If you’ve been away from the dating scene for a while, things have changed. A lot.

But that doesn’t mean you should just give up dating. Nope, there are plenty of perks to heading out and trying to see what the dating pool now holds – even if the waters are a bit murkier than you remember them.

It all begins with self confidence. The good news is that if you’re a bit older than the skinny blondes around you, you’re going to have a much better chance of snagging a guy than they are. After all, you’re interesting, you’re fun, and you know what you want.

Don’t believe this? Try out your charm on someone the next time you’re out.

Even if you don’t end up getting a date with them, it’s nearly guaranteed you will find a date that night. Honestly.

When you have self confidence, you will attract attention and attention turns into dates. Being yourself, while it seems to go against the ‘rules’ of dating, is actually something that works in your favor.

Sure, not everyone is going to like you, but you don’t want just anyone to like you, do you?

So if you’re unsure as to whether you should date or not, maybe it’s time to simply jump out there, show ‘em what you got and see what you can reel in.

Do You Need a Dating Shrink?

September 28th, 2007

While it seems like there are new television shows every season that show neurotic singles looking for love, that’s fiction, right? In truth, maybe art is more like life than we think it is. Maybe we really are getting a bit over obsessed with dating, with meeting new people, and with finding that one perfect love. After all, if we’re so great and wonderful and perfect for dating (as so many experts tell us), why haven’t we found someone yet?

Neurotic seems to be an understatement sometimes.

But does that mean that we need to talk to a therapist about our dating woes? Maybe, but maybe not.

Going to a therapist can be a great way to begin to learn how to build your confidence in all areas of your life – even outside of dating. This person can talk you through past dates to figure out what you could have done differently in order to make things go better the next time around.

On the other hand, experience can also be a good teacher. The more you head out onto dates, the more you will learn about dating – that is, what to do and what to avoid at all costs.

Here are some signs that you might need professional guidance in your dating troubles:

  • You haven’t had a good date. In years.
  • All of your relationships end in the other person breaking up with you.
  • Your friends have tried to point out things you could do differently.
  • You don’t feel confident about your ability to ask someone out.
  • You get so nervous that you have troubles being yourself on a date.

Dating is hard, but therapy can be harder. Actually with this in mind, maybe dating isn’t so difficult after all – at least you don’t have to pay someone to tell you how to do it. Of course, it may be the way to finally win the dating game.

And that’s a good investment.
