Information and tips on dating, relationships for women and men. Tips for women and men to take their romantic experience to a new level. Dating tips for making your online dating filled with fun and excitement.
Since Dating and Relationships are such a large, important part of everyday life, this article strives to help clear up myths from facts and present an overview of surrounding issues.
Show Off – If you have a great body you’re trying to show off and young physical appearance, yet worry because you still seem to have difficulty finding dates and establishing relationships, here are some pointers. Turn off the “ME” focus. Others tend to see that as boorish and think you only care about yourself, not others and certainly not them. Instead, turn the focus on outside interests that the other person can relate to, even if it has to be the weather. For help, tune in to an online news source like CNN or subscribe to a national or other major newspaper or magazine like Newsweek or head to the public library for the latest news briefs.
Online dating might be a good outlet for you, to as it generally offers a place to list all your great physical qualities as well as outside interests and more, presenting a more rounded dating candidate. Then those who are VERY interested in great abs, youthful appeal, etc. will be able to check you out. And those who are interested in the other interests can focus on those, too.
Sit, Don’t Take a Stand – Instead of voicing your opinions over issues that you pretty well know, cause heated arguments, don’t take a stand. Just sit them out. There’s no shame in passing up an argument. For example, if you both call yourselves “Christians,” yet one of you firmly has a complete set of rules and regulations about what a “Christian” really is, and doesn’t hesitate to voice this, skip over conversations about religion. If you have to, simply say something along the lines of, “This gets us too heated, so let’s pass on if for now and move on to something else.” Agree that it’s okay to disagree. Because it is!
Traditions – Keep up with some old traditions from each family. Alter some; create new ones. The main thing here is to make positive memories that you can share and relive over and over, especially during rough spots when you can’t remember why you are together. Traditions can be like glue and bind you with a common past.
Sex Vs Love – Sex and love are not the same thing. Learn the difference and don’t measure love by your hormones.
Negotiator – Forget “his” and “hers” roles and who “should” do what when…Learn to negotiate. What works one day may not work another when timing is off, kids are on the run and disaster strikes, for instance, when your mother-in-law drops by unexpectedly.
Love and Hate – Love your mate. It is OK to strongly dislike (or “maybe” hate) a behavior, like cracking knuckles or biting nails. But remember to love the person.

Dating Advice For Car Lovers
In today's dating scene, it has never been more important to make the right impression.
Dating is the latest casualty in America's constant effort to save time.
Online dating services, mobile connecting and speed dating have replaced long walks on the beach and lengthy dinner conversations.
Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider, renowned dating experts and co-authors of the New York Times best-selling series "The Rules," are helping singles adjust to this new era with their latest dating advice.
"When you only have a few minutes to assess your date, you have to make a great impression," says Fein. "Presentation is everything. Clothing goes a long way for men and women. Men are highly visual and can sense confidence. If you think you look good, he'll think you look good. Men, don't be sloppy. A well-dressed man is so much more appealing to a woman. And it's okay to dab on a little cologne, but don't overdo it or she'll be running for the door!"
In addition to personal presentation, the car you drive matters. A new Ford Fusion singles survey says men and women agree that cars make an impression on a date.
Ninety-five percent of women and 89 percent of men are extremely or somewhat likely to notice a first date's car; in addition, 52 percent of men made a connection with their date in a car, 50 percent of women promised a second date and nearly half of women experienced a first kiss in an automobile.
"Cars can tell you a lot about your date's personality," says Schneider. "Men, make your car work for you. Be sure to keep it clean. Throw away all of those fast food wrappers and get rid of the gym clothes and sports equipment. Also, be sure to ask her what music she wants to hear and open the doors. Chivalry is not dead. Ladies, if you are driving, get rid of the girlie things in the backseat. Nothing says needy like a stuffed teddy bear."
It's not just cleanliness or stuffed teddy bears that can make a difference.
Cars such as the Ford Fusion are designed to make the right impression. With leather interior and sporty design and handling, it's just the right car to drive you to a second date.

4 Steps to Help Heal a Broken Heart
This article offers tips on how to move past a bad relationship. Though a broken heart is hard to deal with, moving on with life is essential for healing. Broken hearts take time to be mended.Heartbreak is a pain like any other. It is an emotional pain so bottomless that it can feel like a physical blow. When you have a pain like this one, all you want is for the deep ache to go away. As much as I’d like to advise differently, there is no band aid for a broken heart. Though it sounds clich้, time is the remedy needed for you to truly heal from such a deep, wrenching pain. In time, this pain will go away. Between now and then, however, following a few basic tips might be able to make the difference in how you are feeling.
1. Cry: You are going to feel like rubbish for the first few weeks. Depending how emotional of a person you are, you may feel like crying for days. Go ahead. A significant change has occurred in your life; a painful change. There is no way to expect that you will feel a little sadness and be able to shut it off with a switch. It’s just not that simple. Allow yourself to grieve for your loss. But not too long! Staying in the past for too long can only hurt you. See rule number 4.
2. Talk to Someone Close: Use the shoulder of someone who cares about you to get out your feelings. This is a way to purify your soul by letting someone in to share your pain. Let them listen, comfort you, and offer advice. You don’t necessarily have to take that advice, but sharing this comfort can make you feel better. Make sure you only allow yourself to grieve and lean on someone for a time because you need to move forward.
3. Distract Yourself: Bring friends you care about back into your life. Maybe having the relationship was keeping you from spending time with your parents, or siblings. Maybe you hadn’t talked to your best friend in weeks. Surround yourself with this support network. Getting things that need to be done around the house done is a great way to get lost in a project. Go to the gym. Organize your closet. Get out and take a walk. Distracting yourself is a great stepping stone to moving on with your life. This brings us to rule number 4.
4. Look toward the Future; Forget the Past: Once you have allowed yourself the indulgence of grieving for a part of your life that is now past, look forward! There is a definite need to be able to start a new chapter in the book of your life. Now that you are past the sadness and anger, it is time for hope and renewal that will help you to move on. Take time out for yourself; get to know yourself as a single individual instead of as part of a couple. Replenish your soul by becoming you again.
Following these sometimes difficult, but necessary steps, you can begin to heal the broken pieces of your heart. You can not only become whole again, you can become whatever you wish to become. This is a chance to start fresh, and once the pain starts to ease, you will see it as such an opportunity.

4 Unique Ways to Get Out of The Doghouse with Your Girlfriend
Dating can be rough, especially if your girlfriend has a hot temper and is prone to kick you out into the "doghouse." With these innovative tips, you'll win back her favor in no time!
1. Hire a Mariachi Band or Local Acapella Group to Serenade Her
Unless she truly hates you, this will surely put a smile on her face and have her inviting you back into her comfort zone again.
Be sure to pick a humorous or joyful song; go for a sense of fun, not desperation.
2. Pay a Homeless Guy $5 to Hold Up a Sign for Her
If you live in a major metropolitan area, chances are you and your girlfriend regularly walk by homeless people.
They would love to have $1, let alone $5. Find a homeless person along the route she usually walks on her way to work.
Come up with a witty sign, like "Angela, John Would Like to Apologize for Going to Poker Night Instead of Visiting with You and Your Family. Will you Forgive him? - From John"
Or whatever -- be sure to be creative and witty. I guarantee she will get a kick out of this. You might have to show the homeless guy a picture of her so he knows he needs to get her attention, but having her name on the sign should do the trick.
3. Propose Marriage to Her at a Baseball Game
This one only works if she will go with you to a sporting event. During 7th inning stretch, half-time or throughout the event, they will often post announcements up on the big screen displays throughout the stadium.
Before the game, visit the gaming office where you can tell them to make these announcements, and say that you'd like to make on for a wedding proposal. (or perhaps just to say hi, if she wouldn't react nicely to a full-on practical joke like this!)
Be sure to keep an eye on the big screen throughout the game, so as not to miss the announcement.
4. Write Your Message in the Sky
We've all seen this in the movies, but how many people actually have the guts to go through with it in real life?
For as little as $100, you can hire an airplane to fly a message to your girlfriend across the sky.

3 Reasons Why Inner Game Will Help Your Love Life
What Does `Inner Game` Mean?
`Inner Game` is what we call the continual process of mental health with regards to dealing with attractive members of the opposite sex, and people in general. It also means replacing negative conditioned thoughts that you may have held since childhood about women and society, with positive one`s that are not only true, but help you as well.
Have you ever had great success in one venue, maybe house parties, but were unable to succeed with women you met other places, like perhaps Clubs?
Often it is easier for you to be cool and social in one venue than another. This is your `comfort zone`. You know what to say, how to say it, and who to say it too. But outside of that zone, you are toast! This is because we often use certain external techniques and social skills that do not really apply to every venue we might find ourselves in. When you have deep set beliefs that you are a high status male, and that no matter where you are, that you are among the elite males, then all these anxieties and problems fall away.
How? Because your strength and resolves makes other people change THEIR mode of behavior to suit yours. If Bill Clinton walked into a raging rock concert or hip hop concert, this one man, would have everyone in a completely different frame of mind, all begging to appease HIS way of interaction. The people bend to YOU.
Inner Game Positively Influences Your Body Language
* Fifty-five percent of the communications signals we send results from how others see us
* Thirty-eight percent flows from the way they hear us
* Seven percent comes from our words
Source: http://www.barkscomm.com/fa_nonverbal.asp
Having solid Inner Game allows your body language to accurately communicate. This is called `congruence`, when your words are matched by your attitude and body language. If you say Super Man things to a woman, but feel like Clark Kent inside, she WILL know, and you will get nowhere with her.
Inner Game Improves Every Aspect Of Your Life, Making You More Attractive
I saved the best for last. Inner Game development need not be limited to confidence and belief setting with women. It can apply to everyone, and life in general. You can rethink previous ideas, like you'll never be able to get into a good college, or you'll never make a good XYZ and then your subconscious will begin helping you to change so that these things can happen. What is best is that being successful in life ( and I don't mean being rich ) will make you doubly attractive to women, and that will raise your confidence even more. It is cyclical.
Conclusion
Not learning proper Inner Game techniques can lead to ALOT of frustration AND embarrassment too using seduction tactics that seem incongruent. Without Inner Game, no amount of "negging", or "cocky funny" will allow you to have lasting success with women.
