Sometimes while you’re single and dating, you get lost in the chaos of your dating life. Perhaps you’ve been on a few dates that haven’t worked out very well for you in one way or another. You’re just feeling really frustrated like you want to bang your head against the wall or escape on a […]
When I first started online dating a few years ago, I thought everything would be easy. I’d get some ideal selections, schedule dates with women I find interesting, pick the best one, and date her — it was going to be so easy. It might sound a little superficial and shallow, but I was thinking
It goes without saying that dating can be quite a challenge. Especially if you’re new to it. The social pressures of what to wear, what to do and how to act can all contribute to pre-date anxiety that’s so crippling that you consider cancelling the date at least once every 30 minutes in the days
Dating can be somewhat of a mystery to people who haven’t done it in a long time. The act of courtship these days is different than it was in previous generations. Your great-grandparents might have built their romance when they walked home together after their church service was over. In the 21st century, dating websites
It is absolute madness if we think back to as little as 50 years ago. On average, people ended up marrying their partners who were as living as close as the same town, the next street or even from the same apartment building. And these marriages lasted. Now we have the option of dating people
“Good luck meeting the parents!” is something all newly dating couples will nervously laugh at. There’s a million and one question that springs to mind before the big introduction. What are ‘appropriate’ clothes to wear? Which ‘break-the-ice’ gift do you get to impress? With all that in mind, add “we met online” to that and you’ve got yourself
Perhaps you’ve been on the dating scene for a while now, but you’re not getting the leads or results that you desire. Not only that, but it’s going on months or years, and you still haven’t found anyone that you would consider dating regularly in your life! What do you do now? Do you bury
Congratulations! You’ve matched on Tinder, you’ve been messaging for weeks, and finally they’ve suggested you go out and ‘grab something to eat sometime’. Result! You’ve got the date in the bag – but, what to wear on a first date? It is often said that what you wear is crucial, as it contributes to their
My online dating experience started with Tinder. Then I tried Whisper and Zoosk, Match and OKCupid, POF and even one dedicated to men and women looking for something a little… kinkier in the bedroom. You know what I learned? People are all the same when it comes to dating apps – they all behave the
Tinder usually is labelled as online hook up app, but my Tinderella story is an exception. I met my current boyfriend on Tinder after he’d been swiping for a few months and myself a little while longer. With all the hype about Tinder being a way to drunkenly meet the opposite sex for one night only,
Online dating influences so much about how single people in our society approach relationships. Even though dating websites have existed since the year 1995, there are still skeptics who feel that dating doesn’t produce positive results. It really is possible to find love online, but you will only meet your online dating goals if you
Online dating and dating apps have become more and more popular over the years. These days almost everyone has access to the internet 24/7 right in the palm of their hands. What was once seen as a way for recluses and introverts to find love is now a day-to-day thing for people all over the
The Internet has been a tool that many people have used in various ways with regards to relationships. Countless couples are currently together because they had formed their relationships through using online dating. There are also couples who have broken up due to discovering their partners were using the Internet to reconnect with their long
I’ve been trying out online dating for a couple of years now since my last break-up. To put it very bluntly, I haven’t had a lot of luck lately. Maybe some of it is me and my expectations, but I’ve grown to dislike online dating. I don’t mean to sound cynical and negative, but it
As a guy being around other guys in life, you tend to notice certain things. Guys are generally aggressive by nature, we compete for attractive women, we compete in sports, we compete with each other and bust each other’s balls over all kinds of things. Keeping all this in mind, you mustn’t act like a
As anyone who has spent any time absent-mindedly swiping their way through Tinder can attest, making any headway in the world of online dating can be an uphill struggle. You spend your time liking everyone you find attractive with no reciprocation, only to endure a deafening silence when you finally do because neither of you
I am now 53 and have been divorced since 2002. Finding myself single again in my late 30s after being in a relationship for nearly 20 years was interesting, to say the least. We now have mobile phones and the Internet to add to the mix. Fast forward another 14 years and the dating world
When creating an online dating profile it can be difficult to sum up one’s personality in 100 words or less. The dating universe is undoubtedly competitive, and crafting a profile that will stand apart from the plethora of other bachelors attempting to make a splash in the same dating pool can prove to be a
Every house has a kitchen and most every kitchen has some form of a refrigerator. There are gourmet kitchens, rustic kitchens, farmhouse kitchens and kitchens circa 1963, complete with olive drab wall paper and Formica, that need an overhaul. Online dating sites are like kitchens. They all have refrigerators (people) but the style of the
Is it difficult for you to meet women online between work or school? Perhaps you happen to run across your ideal date, but they are in a relationship, married, or – even worse for you – expecting? It’s not completely hopeless. We can get on dating sites and peruse the potential possibilities! Online dating can be a
I did not think it would be that hard to meet someone wonderful after my divorce. Having in mind that the divorce rate is 50%, I should have a huge pool of well-trained men from which to choose, right? Single men who have learned to put their crap away. Gentlemen with a career and lifestyle in
When I was 16 I remember reading some sort of period Thomas Hardy style romantic novel. The two main characters exchanged letters for months, culminating in the Mr Darcy type guy asking for a picture of his beloved. Back then the option of a sexy selfie was off the table. You would have to go
We now live in an era where we seem to do everything online – banking, shopping, making travel arrangements and dating. That’s right, dating. While many of us still owe our relationships to an unprovoked chat in a bar or a nightclub, for others the virtual route has proven more successful, or is fast becoming
Maybe you just got out of a long-term relationship. Perhaps you just moved to another part of the country. Or it could be that you are just tired of the bar scene and are longing for something different. Whatever it is, you have made the decision to **gasp** join an online dating site! ‘It’ll be
All we can be and all we need to be in life is ourselves. This is a beautiful thing when it comes to self acceptance, confidence and self love. It’s not often said when we talk about online dating but it’s something that should be taken into consideration, especially when it comes to tackling the minefield that is your profile
