Dating and Relationship tips advices & articles

It’s unbelievable the amount of bad advice there is out there on how to seduce a man or if they give you advice they forget to tell you how to use it properly. So here are a couple of tips on what to do and what not to do to drive a man wild and an instruction manual.1) Dress in a way that makes you feel sexy and also flatters your figure. Let’s face it some of us look ridiculous in stilettos. Red is almost always a good color. Try a red slinky dress and comfortable undergarments. Those torture devices they sell to suck in our guts look great under the dress but are not sexy at all when you are trying to yank them off for a wild night of pleasure.

In most FREE online dating services, people enjoy the benefits and get almost the same features as the paid ones without having to pay anything.

However, one of the primary reasons why these free online dating services are not as popular as those that require paid membership fees is that almost 45% of the single adults who use these dating services are actually looking for serious relationships.

Below are some guidelines to remember when looking at free online dating sites.

1. Privacy policy

Even if it is a free online dating site, it has to have its own privacy policy. This means that online dating sites should never sell or use their member’s e-mail address for anything else.

2. Background checking

It always pays off to do background checking before committing to a certain online dating site. It’s best to find out first if the site has larger membership database than others. More members would mean choices.

3. Extra features

Not all free online dating services are created equal. So, even if they are free, some can provide greater features compared to others.

4. Log-in safety measures

Even if the site seems okay, remember never to use your real name when creating a user name or use an e-mail address. It is always best to maintain certain level of secrecy for security purposes.

5. Free trial offers

Free online dating services usually offer free trials. It wouldn’t hurt to try just as long as a person observes safety online dating guidelines. After all, there’s nothing to lose because they are free.

So, whether or not free online dating services are favorable, one thing should always be kept in mind: One’s safety should always be on top priority.

How often do you want to make love with your partner? How often does your partner want to make love? Many times the answers to both questions are not in sync. The best answer for your relationship, however, may be found somewhere in between.

When most relationships first begin there is high degree of passion and sexual frequency. The newness of discovering one another as well as the newness of the relationship is the primary contributor. Over time this new-found excitement and intrigue begins to wane and a more realistic pace develops. When both partners begin to settle into this pace, and are comfortable with the adjusted frequency, their shared passion and love for one another continues to be cultivated and refined. However, if one partner becomes disappointed or even resentful of the diminished frequency, then conflict can develop in the relationship.

If you and your partner disagree on the amount of intimacy in your relationship, consider the following:

1. Discuss and determine, together, why the frequency in your relationship has declined. Look at what is happening outside of the bedroom first. Usually it’s the day-to-day activities of work or attending to the needs of the children that leaves one, or both, emotionally drained at the end of the day.

2. Provide assurance. If you are the one who is sometimes left exhausted after the day’s work is done, assure your partner it’s not your lack of interest or love in him or her – you’re just tired and need to recover.

3. Share expectations! Ask your partner how often he or she would like to be intimate. When they would like to be intimate - do they prefer making love in the morning when they are more rested or at the end of the day? Next, share your expectations. You both might be closer to a common set of expectations than you may think. If there are wide gaps in these expectations, make a plan to reach out and accommodate one anther in ways that will not violate your personal boundaries.

4. Realize you are responsible for your own needs. Making love is the ultimate expression of love, connection and commitment. Both need to be in the moment in order for the experience to be mutually enjoyable. If there are times when you want to make love for other reasons, pursue individual ways to take care of this while honoring the commitments you have made with your loved one. Sometimes personal gratification is all that is needed.

5. Trust and Surrender. In times when your partner is not in the state of mind to make love, trust this is a temporary situation and trust your partner will want to receive you again in due time. Surrender the temptation to promote your needs over the needs of your partner. Surrender to the belief that your focus must be on your partner’s needs without expecting any thing in return. By trusting and surrendering, your needs will begin to be met by a more willing partner.

Couples who talk about the intimacy in their relationships are in a much better position to deal with any potential conflict or pot-holes that will develop from time-to-time. It’s OK to ask your partner to make love and it’s also OK for your partner to take a rain check. As relationships mature and grow stronger, frequency is no longer gauged by “how many times” it becomes measured by the trust and respect one has for the other and the willingness to make the time to give and receive meaningful intimacy.

FACT: If you create more attraction inside of a woman than is created by the guy she is currently with, then the chances of her getting with you are very high.

Still, it is up to the woman whether or not she would rather be with you or with the guy she is currently with, and this can depend on factors such as what she wants out of this and also what you have to offer. However, something you should keep in mind is that if any particular woman is able to leave her current “boyfriend” for you, then she is just as likely to leave you for some other guy who creates more attraction inside of her than you do.

You must remember that in order to attract and seduce women who are already in relationships, the same attraction rules apply as with single women. Many guys feel that there’s something special you must in order to attract women who are in relationships. Not true! Of course, there are always exceptions and they really are exceptions for reasons totally out of your control.

This article is aimed at guys who are new to the rules of attraction when it comes to women. In order to seduce women, it requires some knowledge of certain mechanisms and rules that have been tried and tested by many “dating experts”.

If you are new to the study of attraction, then this is definitely for you.

Pay attention and try to understand that some of the things you’ll read here will be completely new to you. You may have friends who always have dates whilst you wait and wait and have no success. You may even feel lonely because of this. When you go out, you may feel insecure, shy and very self-conscious about how you act and talk to other people, especially when talking to women.

I remember feeling that way a while back. I used to hate going to bars or out with a group of friends to parties and the like. And sure, I’d see girls who seemed to show me some interest, but I just did not know what to do. And eventually, the party would be over, or the girl would have left, and I used to be angry at myself for not being able to step up.

The first steps you should take if you are seriously interested in getting this part of your life handled include getting out more and socializing more. If you are out there in the field, you get a feel for how this whole thing works. You may even find yourself observing how other people interact, and to what level their interaction goes. This helps you get a feel for what works and what doesn’t.

Make plans with your friends, and stick to them. If you make arrangements like this, you are less likely to bail on them. One technique that is commonly used, and one that I myself have used in order to help me feel more comfortable interacting with people, is going to a mall and talking to random people. A simple “hi” will do wonders for your confidence.

What you’ll find is that people aren’t so scary to talk after all. Most are nice people, and will smile back and say hi, or even stop and chat to you! You could even go one step further and ask a default question to everyone you say hi to. This will help you talk for the sake of talking, with nothing expected in return, other than a pleasant interaction and as such, more experience under your belt.

You may even use this method when you’re out somewhere with friends or at a party. All it takes is a simple “hi” to begin with, and as you get more confident and comfortable interacting with people, you can ask a question that will open them for further interaction.

If you feel you can’t dive right into this by initiating a conversation with women, try it with men first. Then work your way up to speaking with women. There are some key things to remember about women though.

I will discuss these key points in a future article, where I will also go over some vital steps that you must take when meeting a woman you want to approach and seduce.

Here is a letter from someone who is asking the age-old question, which is, “Should I call him?”

I am a 34-year-old single mother of one. I met a man about seven years ago, at a friends wedding. As an usher, he walked his sister down the aisle to her seat. I was floored at how handsome he looked. However, he was married. In Dec ‘06, I saw his sister and she told me that her brother was now divorced and single…he’s 43. His sister told me that she would ask her brother to attend church with her and then introduce us… Well, that happened last weekend in front of his family. I felt awkward and after he gave me his business card and cell phone number, I excused myself. My question is, should I call him? When? How soon? He gave me his number on Saturday.

Should you call him? Absolutely. He wouldn’t have given you his card and cell number if he did not want to hear from you. How soon? Call him as soon as possible. It is amazing how quickly a contact can grow cold—in sales, business, or in the romance department. If he is as attractive as you say, he may be taken before he gets home. However, I do have a rule about calling guys, which is, ONE call only. If he doesn’t call you back, let it go. When a guy doesn’t follow through, it does no good to speculate why. Any number of reasons could prevail, such as, he just saw his ex-wife and he still has feelings for her; he just met someone else; he is not ready to start dating; or, he recently got a dog and it isn’t housebroken yet. You’ll probably never know, and it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you gave it a shot.

Should you call him? Never pass up an opportunity to continue a conversation with someone you are attracted to. What many women do not realize is that most guys are shy and may be afraid to call them. So, there is no harm in making that first call. However, if you press beyond the one call boundary, they may think you are aggressive, or worse, desperate.

Another reason you want to make the call, if he doesn’t do it first, is that men are terrified of “rejection.” I put the word rejection in quotes because no one can reject you unless you take it that way. If someone is not interested in seeing you, forget about it. When you have a strong, empowering perspective, you know immediately that you don’t want to date him either if the feelings aren’t mutual.

It must have been clear to everyone watching that he was interested in you. I can understand why it must have felt awkward. However, meeting someone through friends and family is one of the better ways to meet a “stranger.” You automatically have access to some of his history, personality traits, and family background.

From the sound of your letter, there is a high probability that you will be going out with him. But if you don’t, there will be another attractive someone in your future. The work you might want to think about is what type of requirements you have for a partner. What exactly do you want?

Listen carefully to what your next date talks about, notice how he treats his mother (and his children, if he has any), pay attention to how he relates to your child, and ask why his former relationships broke up. What type of attitude does he carry around? Is he basically a negative or positive person? Does he have a nasty temper? What are his goals for the future and are they in sync with yours? What is his employment record like? These and other important issues take some time to emerge so don’t commit too soon.

The bottom line is this: be selective, discerning, and very smart about dating because a special someone is looking for you too. Go ahead and call him. Maybe he’s the one.

Dating today can be difficult, especially for Christians who want to honor God in the relationships they form. If you are considering joining a Christian dating service online or offline, there are a number of things to think about. There are Christian singles dating services for all denominations including Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran and Methodist.

You can experience Christian romance today more easily than ever in the past with services and sites growing rapidly and as more and more people accept this way of finding the perfect match for whatever needs they have. You may be looking for pen pals, seniors or simply friends.

Keep in mind if you’re looking for orthodox Christian dating services or specialty agencies like Catholic, Chinese, Hispanic or teen dating services - all of these may be harder to find; you are more likely to find these dating services, agencies or networks in large cities like New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle, for example, or large cities in Europe. Local churches that have singles groups are a good meeting place and likely a free dating service in a sense at that. Typing in ‘Christian’ when you are setting up a profile on a non-Christian dating service will tell you how many matches or possibilities there are should you decide to sign up at the end of a free trial.

Call the largest Christian churches in the largest city closest to you or your town or city if it’s not a small one and see if they have any singles groups that meet each week; if so, find out the name of the contact person and ask if they can recommend an online or offline Christian dating service. When looking for your life partner give preference to a person whose interests are similar to yours. Many Christians are members of dating services both online and offline that are not specifically Christian dating services.

When you find someone who seems to fit with you enough to meet after emailing a few times, ask to talk on the phone first before you get together offline. Make sure to sign-up for free trials on several websites; most of the dating services will let you see what men, women or teens over 18 are listed but won’t let you correspond with them until you’re a member. It is possible that a large general dating service may have more Christian members than a smaller Christian dating service.

There are just a few general Christian dating services online. Some of them are run by Christians and some are run by non-Christians; this may or may not be important to you.

Christian dating services screen people through their website and are more helpful to single Christians in the long run. Whether you’re looking for a more casual relationship, or something more serious, now is the time to start taking action; check out some websites today. There are many advantages to free online Christian dating services for committed Christians rather than non-Christian services because these sites probably truly understand the needs of single Christians more.

All too often you overhear in conversation that someone—typically a woman—has been accused of being a “gold digger”. Universally, the term carries a negative connotation, and is understood to mean that she who is the subject of such discussion is “in it for the money”.

So why is this concept met with such invective from guys everywhere? That’s a great question, and I’m glad you asked.

I think the hard feelings can be summarized in two basic elements:

1) Women who are just looking for $$$ out of a relationship are considered shallow. Does she not even care about the guy at all?2) Women who are after a megabucks lifestyle courtesy of some guy are quite simply expressing an expectation that most “mere mortal” men can’t satisfy.

The net-net of it all is that men feel frustration and resentment towards women who portray this persona, hence the disdainful moniker of “gold digger” is pronounced upon them.

So lets talk about this. First, what can we learn from this phenomenon?

Well, you know me. We’re all about “chick whispering” around here. If men and women BOTH can understand and relate to what kind of emotions are generated here, we can all benefit from the discussion. So let me go ahead and throw it out on the table. Guys: You know that empty, almost disgusted feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you suspect that the woman you are seeing is only going out with you because you take her to fancy restaurants and buy her expensive gifts? Yeah, well…that’s EXACTLY how a woman feels when she suspects a guy is only interested in her as a sexual conquest.

Did that hit you like a ton of bricks? Maybe so.

But just for the sake of clarification, let’s level the playing field. Ladies: If you are prioritizing material gain in your dating life, you are NO DIFFERENT than the man who is singularly sex-focused.

Think about it. Whether you are a man or a woman, if you are bent on selfish intent you are giving the people you date negative vibes. Typing that last statement, it seemed so obvious a concept to me. Yet, people everywhere have been known to habitually operate as such. Why? Because it works…sometimes. Or it least it would appear that way. The tragedy of it all is that whether you are a man or a woman, selfish manipulation really only succeeds in keeping around DESPERATE people who feel devoid of other options.

What do you know? Once again, people get what they deserve.

The questions then are twofold: If you are acting selfishly, are you really fulfilled by keeping someone desperate around who is merely capitulating to you? Or, if you are getting “used” by MOTOS (Members Of The Opposite Sex) on a regular basis, how long are you going to tolerate that, thinking that it’s simply ‘your lot in life’ or something to do so?

How about deserving what you want instead? To do that, you have got to show genuine concern and respect for others…especially people you are dating. The opposite of “shallowness” is “depth”, and “depth”—by definition—can support a greater volume. Your dating life will indeed hold more if you begin to add depth to your relationships.

But let’s not end the conversation so quickly. Is it categorically wrong for a woman to want a man who can provide financially? For that matter, is it wrong for a man to desire sexual fulfillment?

It may or may not surprise you that there are plenty of guys out there with fat bank accounts who are PERFECTLY OKAY with the fact that a woman would be attracted to him, at least in part, specifically because he can provide financially. And given that women tend to have an archetypal disposition towards favoring men who are “providers”, this is not surprising. Given that such men have no guilt or shame tied to being unable to offer such “provision”, it’s all good…as long as the woman brings her portion to the relationship. If she doesn’t have an “entitlement” mentality and is happy to genuinely give her part to the relationship, then many men are in fact PROUD to pay a woman’s way. Ultimately, we ALL like to live the “good life” complete with lots of financial and sexual success, so simply having such desires isn’t bad at all. The caveat here, of course, is that if a man of means remains himself so shallow that he is only about leveraging his wallet for sex (indirectly, we hope), then he shouldn’t kvetch about “gold diggers”.

To be worry free when online dating, below are some guidelines which you could follow:

1. When you decide to have a face to face meeting, make arrangement first. Do not meet at your home as you barely know the person.

2. Always make it a point to meet in public places. Bring a friend along and your online date should not mind if he/she is genuine.

3. If you are having a lunch or dinner in a café or restaurant, you should pay half of the bill. Thus, you are free from obligations that you have to meet the person again.

4. Used your own car if you have one. Do not rely on a date’s car so that you won’t feel that you have to ride with him or her if the date turns awry.

5. Avoid alcoholic drinks during your time together.

6. If you plan to meet your date the second time, evaluate if he or she deserves to know your personal home address. Never give your address when meeting the person the first time.

7. Do not go to secluded and dimly-lit areas at night. Try to stay in crowded places if possible.

8. Listen to your intuition. If something doesn’t feel right, then assess it immediately. It may be best that you thank your date and leave as soon as possible. Don’t be afraid to do so.

9. For safety’s sake, tell a friend your date’s contact details and plans for the date and get them to check up on you both during the date and afterwards.

11. Remember: Never give your personal contact information to someone you barely know. They should understand this and agree, at least on your first date.

12. Be alert at all times.

Like traditional dating, online dating has some risks, including safety concerns. To avoid having problems in your online dating, just remember the tips above.

In this modern world, many people find that online dating services has become a popular way of getting more dates than they do in other place. In fact, statistics show that 52% of the Americans say they have a better chance of meeting and dating other people through online dating services than at a single’s bar.

Moreover, according to the Ipsos-Reid Poll, four out of ten people who were interviewed think that it is better to instigate a relationship through an online dating service and that they have a greater chance of success, than those who started in the single’s bar.

Below are a list of reasons why online dating services are fast becoming very popular:

1. Variety of choices

Many people are finding online dating services offer a variety of choices. In fact, there are more singles who are involved in online dating services than most people have thought. Hence, people get to review a lot of profiles before eventually choosing one.

Moreover, most people contend that they find the profiles very useful before they start to date the person.

2. Secrecy

You may remain anonymous for as long as you want to. That is why loading pictures on your profile is not mandatory. You even have complete control on whether or not you want to disclose your e-mail address, age, or any other personal information. Thus, you can freely browse on the different people without being known yourself.

3. Security

Members of online dating services have their personal information secured. You can be assured that no information will be disclosed to other people without your consent.

Moreover, if a certain member of an online dating service should cause trouble, you can immediately request the online dating service to block the person or revoke the membership.

Indeed, online dating services are the modern world’s new way of getting dates and eventually love.
