			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Let&#8217;s assume for a minute that you have met a great girl and that you want more than a one-night-stand. You want to have a good time with her because you want to develop a long-termrelationship.</p>
<p>I believe that there isn&#8217;t a perfect general place for all first dates, just the perfect place for you and your future date. One where you have been with your ex date and it was great, could be a wrong choice for your date with another girl.</p>
<p>Make sure your first date will be a success choosing the right place. There are some rules and criteria that will help you to make the best decision:</p>
<p>1. For your very first meeting it is suggested that you only make it brief but fun, inexpensive and relaxing.</p>
<p>2. Chose the place for the first date according your date&#8217;s age and lifestyle. Maybe you don&#8217;t know too much about the women you are going to ask for a date, but you can make a clue about her, looking to how she is dressing and watching the type of people she is hanging around.</p>
<p>3. Particularly on a first date, you may wish to leave early, or so may they. An exit plan for both guys and girls is always useful.</p>
<p>4. Dates that will make you interact with the other person and share both your interests will not only teach you more about them, but also show how compatible you actually are. Sporting events, concerts and picnics are great places for first dates. You can talk, and being outside, everything feels less claustrophobic. It&#8217;s easy  and relaxed and clothing usually isn&#8217;t a problem.</p>
<p>5. It makes a difference if you can find something that she will remember for a long time. If in your area is an event like circus, carnival, festival, don&#8217;t miss it and you two will have more fun than at a coffee place that&#8217;s for sure. There wouldn&#8217;t be any pressure; you&#8217;ll only have to enjoy the company.</p>
<p>6. If you are dating late in the evening make sure that you walk in places where your date is feeling safe. Don&#8217;t forget that she does not know you very well and being alone with you in a place that is not public can make her feel insecure. It is normal!</p>
<p>By being unique and creative, you&#8217;ll stand out among the other guys she&#8217;s dated and she will want to be with you again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>For quite some time now or since time immemorial, many women have been embarking on that quest towards the elusive &#8220;Mr. Right&#8221;. But how does one woman know if she is succeeding on the turf of dating or if she is mainly risking her safety?</p>
<p>Here are ways to know whether a woman is making the most out of her dating life without making her safety suffer.</p>
<p>Listen to your heart.</p>
<p>If intuition tells one that she is not striking a string with a certain main, she should follow her gut feel and dump the guy, gently that is. Dating is not about jumping on every person that shows interest. Settling for something less is not that good of an option.</p>
<p>Trust yourself.</p>
<p>This goes with the gut feel advice. If the man seems too good to be true, chances are, he really is not good for you. Don&#8217;t be misled by saccharine promises. Learn to psychoanalyze a bit. Doing some background check surely won&#8217;t hurt.</p>
<p>Feel the earth move under your feet. Nope, I&#8217;m not making you dance or something like that. What I mean is keep your self grounded. Don&#8217;t be swept off by the giddy feeling all too suddenly. Taking things in stride will keep you safe from being hurt if the guy or girl is not really what you expected him or her to be. Single dating is not carried out like an overnight success. Be consciously cautious.</p>
<p>Never give in to peer pressure. If your roommates know about your online dating escapade and are telling you to single out somebody that you think doesn&#8217;t make the cut, you know, your standards, don&#8217;t be swayed by them. If they want that guy, they can have him, right? Single dating is not supposed to be the decision of the group, apparently.</p>
<p>Being too desperate over a relationship will spoil the fun of single dating life. If you go against that nagging but &#8220;healthy&#8221; advice of your instinct that you&#8217;re overdoing your dealings with your boyfriend and you better stop it or else, it will be your loss, really. For instance, you came to the point that you&#8217;re relationship is about to end, in short, you&#8217;re being dumped, but you&#8217;re still doing too many things to patch things up, that&#8217;s obviously being desperate. Single dating is just single dating. If you thought of him as the future father of your babies but you&#8217;re just a fling for him, for Pete&#8217;s sake, obviously you&#8217;re not in the same boat. Get out of that relationship, fast!</p>
<p>If all the while you&#8217;ve been aiming for that long-term relationship, here are few fool-proof tips on how to spot who&#8217;s NOT the man.</p>
<p>1. He&#8217;s overly unreliable. Promises to call you but he won&#8217;t.<br />
2. He does not let you in his intimate circle of friends.<br />
3. He never spouts anything about your future together<br />
4. He rushes you into his bed.</p>
<p>With those in mind, and you armored with presence of mind and a cautious but not paranoid attitude, you&#8217;ll be well set off for the goodies of single dating. Go get him swooning over you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>At times you go out on blind dates. The blind date can be quite a nightmare if your date finds all your interests, totally uninteresting. On the other hand, if you find his/her likings completely repulsive then the date will be equally doomed. If he/she is an introvert who likes to stay indoors and you are an outdoor person, chances are you will never go on a blind date for some time to come. There is nothing more satisfying than finding a partner who shares the same interests as you. If you find such a person, you will hit it off instantly. If you both are adventure freaks, then dating will not be too tough for you. You will never be out of fun date ideas and you do not need too many tips.</p>
<p>The Great Outdoors<br />
There are hundreds of things to do and an equal number of places to visit if you are an outdoor person. Hiking, rock climbing and mountain biking are a few. First of all find a place near your city which is fit for hiking. Get in touch with agencies that plan and organize such trips. You can also check for online resources which will help you find the best place to start. Opt for an amateur trail, as you are not going there for the sake of adventure only. You are on a date and that is the reason why you are there, not the other way round. Help each other during the trail. Take a number of breaks during the trip as this will give you time to talk to each other. This way you will get to share your thoughts and you will get to know each other better .Such trips help in forming a long lasting relationship.<br />
Tip: Do not forget to carry the right gear, a first aid kit and some drinks and food.</p>
<p>Rock Climbing<br />
Remember Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible? Rock Climbing is not for the amateurs. If you and your date have never done it before then you should go to an indoor rock-climbing club, which attempts to mimic the real experience but in a more controlled environment. Guides and instructors will be available to help you. After you practice on this, you will be ready for the real thing. Lend each other support. After all, you want support when you are hanging a few feet off the ground by nothing else but a rope. This again is a great team building sport that brings you together as a team. This sense of teamwork will help you in coming closer and knowing each other better.<br />
Tip: Never head for the real thing without getting proper rock climbing lessons.</p>
<p>Mountain Biking<br />
Mountain biking is not meant for the inexperienced. You and your date have to be extremely sure that you want to try this out. This is biking in its most extreme form. You need the necessary equipment and right guidance before you set out on a trip. You will definitely enjoy this trip with your date. Opt for a secluded place where you can have some privacy as well. There is nothing more relaxing than being in natural surrounding.<br />
Tip: Make sure that you know the trail well as you do not want to get lost. Also, inform the local security in charge about your bike trip.</p>
<p>If these are not adventurous enough for you, you can try paragliding, surfing and snorkeling. But you have to head off to the beach for that. A beach is a different dating idea all together.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Perhaps the best things in life are free. Looking back, the best dates I ever went on didn&#8217;t cost much or anything at all.</p>
<p>Traditional dating can be expensive; dinner, which can easily cost $40 or more. Follow that with a movie, which can run another $40 if you buy popcorn, drinks and candy. Suddenly you are close to a hundred dollar evening, and before you know it, all of your extra money for the month has been spent on a date.</p>
<p>Yet it doesn&#8217;t have to cost so much. The best thing is that often, romance can be free. An afternoon spent hiking. Having a nice quiet picnic at a park or lake, an afternoon stroll through the forest; All wonderful dates, and they only cost you time.</p>
<p>Here are some more ideas:</p>
<p>An evening spent quietly at home. Cook your favorite dish or make it an adventure and try all new recipes. Watch movies, play a board game or a bottle of wine and the starry night sky.</p>
<p>Visit a local festival or art fair. Many towns and communities have local events, especially in the summer. It&#8217;s a good opportunity to experience good food, entertainment and the outdoors.</p>
<p>Go camping. Most campgrounds offer free setups for tents. Spend the evening under the stars. Make smores and relax by the fire. Listen to the crickets. Often the best dates are those that you spend a lot of thought on not money. Anyone can spend money on dinner and a movie, and yet it is truly unique for someone to make a date to go to the farmer&#8217;s market and pick out fresh produce for dinner.</p>
<p>First dates at times can be a little tense. Exchange the usual first-date feelings with a more relaxed atmosphere. Instead of the same old Friday or Saturday night first date, try instead a Sunday afternoon stroll through the park! Saturday afternoon ball games work just as well. Ask yourself how you can take the formality out of the situation. Always make sure that you look for activities where you can get to know each other &#8212; that&#8217;s what first dates are all about.</p>
<p>There are an endless amount of possibilities. Once you get to know her, you will find many different inexpensive date ideas. Even married couples can take advantage of frugal dating.</p>
<p>A date is much more than a dinner; it is spending time getting to know her. When you take the time to find unique ways to spend time together, that time becomes special. You could try something new every time with her or do the same thing every weekend. What really matters isn&#8217;t the money you spend, it&#8217;s the time. Have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>It&#8217;s like a jungle sometimes! The Sugar Hill Gang could have been talking about online dating when they penned their greatest hit. Of course, back in the early 1980s the idea of finding a partner via the Internet would have been regarded in the same light as taking a day trip to the moon; twenty plus years on and strolling around Copernicus for the afternoon is still the stuff of fantasy, but finding the perfect match on the Internet is something that more and more of us are doing.</p>
<p>Out there in the online jungle are a great many different creatures, all of whom make their respective ways down to the watering hole with their own aims in mind. Some come merely to socialise, to chew the fat with the other denizens of this fertile environment, rub shoulders with the great and the tiny, hear the latest gossip on the bush telegraph and keep abreast of recent goings on; others come to prowl, surveying the ranks of assorted beasts, picking the choicest morsels to feast their eyes upon (or more)! Still more come in hope of something less tangible, they come seeking companionship from creatures like themselves; a life partner to raise a brood with or share a nest.</p>
<p>So, what kind of dating creature are you? We identified a few of the inhabitants of the dating jungle below:</p>
<p>With their long legs and lurid pink plumage; the flamingos come down to the watering hole to preen, flirt and catch tiny krill. The slightest noise or sudden move and they take to the air, startled. Flamingos in the world of online singles are equally skittish; they upload pictures of themselves so that they can be admired, preening in the water, thriving on compliments they snap up like so much krill. These flamingos will take to the wing at the slightest mention of meeting, or taking things to a more serious level.</p>
<p>Howler monkeys are the jungle&#8217;s gossips; rampantly sociable, they come to the water to meet and chatter, to groom and to reinforce their social bonds. Howler monkey dating site users are often looking for friends to chat and gossip with. They tend to use the sites very regularly and sometimes for hours on end, chatting to new friends and adding to their favourites lists. This can be a great way to use dating sites for people who have just moved to a new town or city, or who find it difficult to meet people because of work constraints.</p>
<p>And then the lion  the self-styled King of the Jungle may have a mighty roar but is actually quite a timid creature, shying away from large groups of prey, preferring to circle silently and pick the perfect target. These types of daters will often view your profile six or seven times before sending you a hello; they like to make sure of what they&#8217;re getting as lions don&#8217;t like to waste energy. Of course when they do make their choice this skilled hunter&#8217;s charms can often prove hard to resist!</p>
<p>So flamingo, monkey or lion; whatever type of dating creature you are have fun, be safe and remember  it&#8217;s a jungle out there!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Asking someone out on a date is not rocket science, but for some people it can be very overwhelming, especially when asking somebody out for the first time. By following the tips below you can help increase the odds of getting a YES when asking someone out on a date.</p>
<p>1. For starters you should wait for a relaxing environment when asking someone out for a date. Never make that move in a tense environment. You don&#8217;t want to come across as tense or stressed out. You want to appear calm and confident. It&#8217;s important that everything should just flow smoothly.</p>
<p>2. Do not pop the question out of nowhere. The conversation should naturally lead into asking someone out for a date. For example, it would be ideal for both of you to have just finished talking about something that you both are interested in which brings comfortability and then an &#8220;Oh by the way&#8230;&#8221; is a perfect opportunity to ask for a date.</p>
<p>3. Be sure that when you ask out somebody for a date try to do something that you enjoy doing and are good at. This will increase your confidence both when asking them out on the date and during the actual date. Confidence attracts people towards you.</p>
<p>4. If you did get that first date then your next job is doing all of the right things to get the second date, right? So while on that first date, be sure to have the attitude of giving rather than getting. Try to involve activities that he or she would enjoy. Do your best to create the date around them, showing your attention, and making them feel special.</p>
<p>5. Last but not least, just be yourself when asking him or her out on a date. Do not try to act like someone else or pull those one liners. Trust me, being original works every time!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Dont be! Finding the right girl for you to date takes a lot of confidence, honesty and time. A good place to start is visiting the places where a lot of people hang out, at the same time, places that you love so that you both have a thing in common. If you love going to coffee shops or going to clubs on Friday nights, then look for her there. It is important to meet a girl that do things similar to things that you do.</p>
<p>An effective and interesting way to meet a girl is through online matchmakers. These matchmaker sites will assist you so you can find the right girl for you. Here, you can read about their personalities and traits as well as you can talk to them and see their photos. Make certain that you take time in knowing the girl well before you invite and meet with her on a date.</p>
<p>If meeting girls online is not your cup of tea then you can meet girls at social gatherings, parties, clubs, disco or the gym. You can also organize a simple party and let your girl buddies to bring along their friends. The more girls that you meet, you have more chances of meeting that special girl for you. Just remember that you will not meet her just by staying at home. You have got to go out and look for her with conscious effort and a very alert mind.</p>
<p>And when you do find her, although it is a good thing to display your attraction and interest, never over do it; never tell her things that will make her run away from you.</p>
<p>Keep in mind not to ask the girl right away for a date; asking her too soon might scare her off. Instead, be casual and friendly; get to her a step at a time, before you decide to date her. Call her so you both can have a conversation and you will find some things about her. Then when you feel that the time is right and that you like her enough to spend an evening with her, then go and ask.</p>
<p>Congratulations! Now you are ready for a date (in case she answered yes). Here are guidelines on what to do:</p>
<p>1. Spend the evening in a place you know she loves. Since you already know what her likes are during your phone conversations, then you will have an idea where to bring her. Also be sure you like the place; this will be of no problem, since you met her in a place that you both enjoy visiting.</p>
<p>2. Dress right. This means dressing for the occasion and for the place; dress that you look and feel good. Take extra effort so that you are well groomed (shaved, smells nice, freshly ironed clothes and clean shoes). Remember, this is your first date and you have to put on that good and lasting impression on her.</p>
<p>3. Relax and be yourself. Do not put too much thought on whether she will like you or not. The fact that she said yes for this date means she likes you. When you are relaxed, you can converse well and make her at is as well.</p>
<p>4. Be courteous and polite. Be careful of the things you say and do as rude comments or anxious behavior is unpleasant and can offend her. Be considerate and respectful; when you smoke, ask her first.</p>
<p>5. Listen. At some point, let her do the talking and just listen attentively. By listening, your conversation will continue to flow. While it is good to ask her questions so that you can get to know her, be careful with your questions and avoid personal interrogation.</p>
<p>6. Be careful when selecting the food. From your phone conversations, learn what her favorites are. Likewise, carefully choose a menu that is not messy to eat.</p>
<p>7. Never ever get drunk. There is nothing humiliating then having a drunken date.</p>
<p>8. Never talk about your past relationships. Remember, the woman you like is with you now and a potential serious relationship at hand. Forget about the past.</p>
<p>9. End the date right, do not be overly pushy. Evaluate the situation. When you feel that you both had a good time and you like her, a hug or a brief kiss will do. Do not go beyond. This will just send out the wrong sign, signaling to her that you are either very desperate or that you are only out for sex. Do not forget to thank her and tell her that you had a wonderful.</p>
<p>So do not be desperate. There are a lot of women out there and if you will not find them, chances are, they will find you! Just be patient!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Copyright 2006 David Steele</p>
<p>In my work as a Marriage and Family Therapist most of my practice has been working with couples, because after experiencing divorce growing up as a child, and again after a ten year first marriage, I decided that my mission is to help people have successful marriages and families, and I thought the best way to do that would be as a marriage counselor. However, what I discovered over the years is that people generally make appointments with me when it&#8217;s almost too late; they&#8217;re on the verge of divorce or it might be a last resort, after there&#8217;s been a lot of irreversible damage done.</p>
<p>How relationships work and how to have a successful Life Partnership have always been fascinating mysteries to me. One thing&#8217;s for certain; times have changed and what used to work doesn&#8217;t work anymore. The biggest change in the past 30 years impacting relationships that I can see is that we have developed a need to be &#8220;happy&#8221;. This is a dramatic shift from our parents and grandparents who were quite satisfied surviving and achieving some measure of comfort and security. The need for happiness sounds very simple and innocent, but it&#8217;s the primary reason for failed relationships today, and the high divorce rate, single parent families, mental and physical health problems, juvenile delinquency, welfare, and so on.</p>
<p>While we seek to be happy in relationships, we don&#8217;t seem to know how. As a result I have seen many people make relationship choices and fall into traps that prevented them from getting what they want in their life, resulting in unhappiness and relationship failure. A trap is basically an unsolvable problem that results in unhappiness in a relationship. Getting out of the trap often means leaving the relationship.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re single you can do a lot more than you realize to avoid these traps and prepare for a successful and lasting relationship, as you&#8217;ll see in this article.</p>
<p>1. Marketing Trap</p>
<p>Believing you need to make yourself more appealing to attract a partner and &#8220;selling&#8221; yourself with attractive packaging and presentation. High risk of disappointment and relationship failure as people discover that the excitement and promise of the &#8220;sizzle&#8221; conflicts with the reality of the &#8220;steak&#8221;.</p>
<p>Solution: Authenticity. You will attract compatible people when you show them who you really are. At the risk of mixing metaphors, &#8220;Birds of a feather flock together&#8221;, so don&#8217;t try to look like a prize-winning chicken when you are your own breed of duck!</p>
<p>2. Scarcity Trap</p>
<p>Believing there is a limited supply of possible partners, so you have to take what you can get or be alone. Results in relationship failure when you settle for less and compromise your Requirements. A self-fulfilling prophecy when you get less because you expect less.</p>
<p>Solution: Define your first choice of what you really want and persevere. Trust that if you apply yourself you can get what you really want in your life. You must be able to say &#8220;No&#8221; to what you DON&#8217;T want, to be available to say &#8220;Yes&#8221; to what you DO want. You have the power to choose who, what , where, when, and how, and can get what you really want if you make effective choices aligned with your Vision and Requirements.</p>
<p>3. Compatibility Trap</p>
<p>Assuming that if you have fun together and get along well, you are compatible and a committed relationship will work. Results in relationship failure when discovering the vast difference between a fun-focused, recreational &#8221; dating&#8221; relationship, and a serious long-term committed relationship. Being so different, the process and criteria for choosing a recreational relationship needs to be very different from choosing a Life Partner.</p>
<p>Solution: When you are ready for a Life Partnership, define your Requirements and use them to scout, sort, and screen potential partners. Do not try to convert a recreational relationshipinto a committed one, unless 100% of your Requirements are met.</p>
<p>4. Fairytale Trap</p>
<p>Passively expecting your ideal partner to magically appear and live happily ever after without effort on your part. Believing that finding your soul mate will just &#8220;happen&#8221;. Results in disappointment when the frogs that happen to jump into your life don&#8217;t become princes.</p>
<p>Solution: Take personal responsibility for your relationship choices and outcomes. Have effective scouting, sorting, and screening strategies. Initiate contact and be the &#8220;Chooser&#8221;, don&#8217;t simply react to people that choose you.</p>
<p>5. Date-To-Mate Trap</p>
<p>Becoming an &#8220;instant couple&#8221; as if giving each person you date an extended test drive. Believing that if you develop an exclusive relationship with someone you are dating, a successful committed relationship will eventually happen. Other terms for this are &#8220;Serial Monogamy&#8221; and the &#8220;Mini-Marriage.. This approach is a costly use of time and emotional energy. The inertia in this trap is pressure to make the relationship work, attempt to solve unsolvable problems, and fit the round peg in the square hole because breaking up and being single again is an undesired outcome.</p>
<p>Solution: Date a variety of people and have fun without being exclusive. When you are ready for a committed relationship define your Requirements and use them as tools to scout, sort, and screen potential partners. Make a careful relationship choice and consciously use a &#8220;pre-commitment&#8221; period to determine if this is the right relationship for you.</p>
<p>6. Attraction Trap</p>
<p>Making relationship choices based on feelings of attraction. Interpreting a strong attraction to someone as a sign that the relationship is a good choice and &#8220;meant to be&#8221;. This approach results in relationship failure when unsolvable problems surface because you ignored the red flags while infatuated. Unconscious choices usually result in repeating unproductive past patterns.</p>
<p>Solution: Balance your attractions by defining your Requirements and use them to scout, sort, and screen potential partners. &#8220;Choose your life&#8217;s mate carefully. From this one decision will come ninety percent of your happiness or misery.(H. Jackson Brown, Jr. from &#8220;Life&#8217;s Little Instruction Book&#8221;).</p>
<p>7. Love Trap</p>
<p>Interpreting infatuation, attraction, need, good sex, and/or attachment as Love. &#8220;If it feels good, it must be Love.&#8221; &#8220;Love is all you need.&#8221; &#8220;Love conquers all.&#8221; Results in relationship failure when you discover that love is not enough to meet your requirements and needs.</p>
<p>Solution: Make conscious relationship choices by defining your Requirements and use them to scout, sort, and screen potential partners.</p>
<p>8. Rescue Trap</p>
<p>Hoping a relationship will solve your emotional and financial difficulties and bring you happiness and fulfillment, something like winning the lottery. You avoid taking responsibility for your life challenges, expecting to be rescued from them. Results in desperation, neediness, and relationship failure when problems multiply instead of disappear.</p>
<p>Solution: Define your Vision for your life and relationship and &#8220;Live your Vision&#8221; as a successful single person. Resolve emotional, financial, and other problems prior to seeking a lasting committed relationship. Seek to be in a position of &#8220;choice&#8221; and &#8220;want&#8221; rather than &#8220;need&#8221;.</p>
<p>9. Co-Dependent Trap</p>
<p>Expecting someone to love you and give you what you want by giving them what they want. Attempting to earn love and happiness by acquiescing, giving and helping. Needing to be needed often results in unconsciously attracting and choosing a relationship with a person that needs you, but you later discover is unable to give you what you want.</p>
<p>Solution: Define your Vision and Requirements and choose a closely aligned partner. Learn to be assertive, identify and ask for what you want and need, identify and assert boundaries, and develop the ability to say &#8220;No&#8221;. Be the &#8220;Chooser&#8221; and cautious of people that choose you!</p>
<p>10. Entitlement Trap</p>
<p>Believing you deserve to be happy and get what you want in your life without effort or changes on your part. Results in relationship failure as you rely on your partner to bring happiness and fulfillment and inevitably experience disappointment. &#8220;If you do what you&#8217;ve always done, you&#8217;ll get what you&#8217;ve always got.&#8221;</p>
<p>Solution: Take personal responsibility for your life and relationship. Define your Vision and Life Purpose and live them when single.</p>
<p>11. Virtual Reality Trap</p>
<p>Believing that &#8220;what you see is what you get.&#8221; Making hasty long-term relationship decisions based on short-term impressions and inferences instead of actual experience and knowledge. Results in seeing what you want to see and relationship failure when later reality doesn&#8217;t match.</p>
<p>Solution: Assume &#8220;you don&#8217;t know what you don&#8217;t know&#8221; and stay in a &#8220;pre-commitment&#8221; stage until you have solid experience and knowledge that this is the right relationship for you.</p>
<p>12. Lone Ranger Trap</p>
<p>Believing that you don&#8217;t need anyone&#8217;s help in finding your Life Partner. You evaluate people you meet for their relationship potential and do not take the opportunity to cultivate new friends. Results in isolation, perception of scarcity of potential partners, and risk of settling for less than what you really want because you don&#8217;t want to be alone.</p>
<p>Solution: Develop a support network/community of friends of both genders and be supportable by enrolling them to scout for you.</p>
