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.

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.

Not Getting Any Dates? Here’s Why

November 29th, 2007


With all of the online dating advice out there, you might be surprised to find out that more people are just waiting for people to contact them than ever – even though they have a great profile on their chosen dating service page.

So, what’s going on?

There are three main things that might be making you the date-less wonder right:

1. No picture

2.No sense of humor

3. No flexibility

Look, those who might date you want to see what you look like first. You need to put a good picture of yourself into your dating profile in order to give people something to consider. Just be yourself and smile. No cleavage or broad shoulders necessary.

In your profile, have you tried to be funny? When you’re all serious, it can seem like you’re not a lot of fun to be around – and who wants to date a person who’s just no fun? Try to include something quirky about yourself that someone might find amusing – for example, note that your favorite color is blue, but not royal blue because it reminds you too much of finger paint. Or maybe you could include your nickname and a story as to why you got that nickname.

Flexibility is the big problem in many dating profiles. When all you talk about is what you DON’T want in a date, you aren’t leaving a lot of options for prospective suitors. While there may be some things you won’t compromise on, try to leave a little room for new possibilities.
