			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine going through life, loveless. Sucks doesn’t it? And yet this is the situation that many women today are in. They are beautiful, smart, sexy and have flourishing careers. And yet their love life is stuck in a rut. Are you one of these women?</p>
<p>Do you lie awake at night thinking about Mr. Right? Do fantasize daily about the Prince Charming you have yet to meet? Do you wonder where all the good guys have gone to? If so then let me reveal to you how to attract a man and keep him.</p>
<p>Physical appearance. They say that love is blind but although this may be true people don’t fall in love at first glance. First, there is physical attraction. That’s why you have to pay attention to your appearance. This includes make-up and manner of dressing. With make-up, keep it light and casual in the day. Don’t put on too much make-up. Most guys can’t stand a woman who is too made up. Too much make-up may only smother you. Enhance your natural beauty. Keep it light. With regards to clothes don’t be a fashion victim. A fashion victim is someone who wears the latest trends even if it doesn’t look good on her. Wear clothes that look good on you and you are comfortable in.</p>
<p>Know how to carry a conversation. Being old and boring is the fastest way to turn off a guy. He’ll be looking around the room five minutes after meeting you if you can’t hold your own in a conversation. Being a good conversationalist can reel a guy in and then you can hook him. When I say this I don’t mean that you do all the talking. A huge part of being a good conversationalist is knowing how to listen.</p>
<p>Know his interests. We are naturally drawn to people who are most similar to us. People who have the same interests, think in the same way we do and are basically like us. We also like talking about the things that we are passionate about. In order to hook a guy find out what his interests are. Engage him in conversation and talk about the things he likes best.</p>
<p>Make him feel special. Who doesn’t want to feel special? No matter how wealthy or powerful we already are we always want to feel special. This is why we value people who value us. Once you have hooked your man, you can keep him by making him feel treasured and loved.</p>
<p>Know your worth. A guy won’t appreciate a woman who is willing to drop everything for him. Make your guy feel special but always know your worth. People will value you only as much as you value yourself. No one wants to be with a person who has low self-esteem. Be confident and place high value on yourself. Never allow your man to treat you like dirt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many times I have heard friends lamenting that the perfect man or woman for them just doesn?t exist.  When you ask the person doing the crying what they want in a partner they describe someone good looking with a great figure, great personality, usually younger than them and with lots of money. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s usually coming from a person of mediocre looks, a dumpy figure, a number of personality quirks and no money.  They are always quick to point out that once someone gets to know them, looks won?t count.  Don?t get me wrong, you can usually see some good qualities in that person, knowing them as a friend. And princesses do kiss toads from time to time but let&#8217;s get realistic.</p>
<p>If you are truly looking for a great partner to share your life you have to take an honest look at yourself and really consider what is important to you. Really, honestly look at yourself.  I just heard a 350 pound slob of a man say he would never go out with a woman who is overweight.   Now when you get to know this guy you learn he?s hard working, smart and funny.  But he isn?t rich or well known.  And for him to dismiss a whole bunch of women based on their weight and then say he is looking for the right soul mate is very hypocritical.</p>
<p>While there is a saying that opposites attract the reality is that people who are alike, who have things in common are more likely to be happy with each other.  Most people end up marrying someone whose looks would be rated similarly to them, whose personality has some quirks that can be lived with and whose economic situation is similar to theirs.  We hear it all our lives and many of us spout the words- ?its what?s inside that counts? but then we end up sorting potential partners into categories by what they look like instead of getting to know them.</p>
<p>If you truly want to find a partner to share your life try giving the person with the dumpy figure, the odd personality or not so great job a chance.  Go into any dating experience with an open mind, maybe the person that doesn?t fit your ideal partner profile at the beginning will become the light of your life.</p>
<p>The person who sticks rigidly to looking for a prince or princess will probably never marry and they are probably deep inside afraid of finding a person who wants to marry them anyway.  Do you really, truly want a life partner?  Then open your heart and close your eyes!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Single parent families are no longer considered “awkward.” There was once a time when these families were looked down upon or judged because of a lack of two parents in the household. Now, however, these families seem to be the norm.  There has been an increase in the number of single parent families over the years and society has become familiar with the term.  Is living in a single parent family really all that bad?  The following are a few myths that you may have heard about this type of family. </p>
<p><b>1</b> <i>Single parent families struggle financially and need welfare. </i> Many people assume that just because a family has only one parent, it is struggling financially. There are many well off single parent families.  With more parents than ever getting college degrees, it isn’t as difficult to take care of children in a single parent home. Not all single parents seek welfare to help take care of their children.  Many handle the responsibility without the help of the government. </p>
<p><b>2</b>  <i>Single parents do not have time for their children.</i> Because of the idea that single parents have to work more to make ends meet, it is automatically assumed that they do not have time for their children. This is untrue. Many single parents find time to work and spend time with the kids.  Prioritizing is the key that’s help single parents keep a focus on the children.   This may mean giving up a social life for the time being, but many parents are willing to do this for the well being of their children. </p>
<p><b>3</b>  <i>Children with single parents struggle academically.</i> Not all children will struggle in school just because they are forced to live in a single parent family. In fact, many kids do very well and go on to live successful lives.  Academic struggles derive from many factors, not just living in a home with only one parent. While it can play a role it the problem, it is not the only blame for it.  </p>
<p><b>4</b> <i>They also have emotional and social problems.</i> Emotional and social problems are common in children who live in single parent homes. However, in some situations, children do just fine.  They find ways to adapt and adjust to the situation.  With the help of the parent, they can give totally normal lives with only one parent.  </p>
<p><b>5</b> <i>Divorce is always the cause of single parent families.  </i> A common misconception is that single parent families are the products of divorce. While divorce is the most common reason why these families exist, there are also single parent families that are the result of death, serious injury, or accident.   The old saying “never judge a book by its cover” fit perfectly in to this situation. Never assume that you know the reason the single parent family has been formed. </p>
<p><b>6</b> <i>Children from divorced families will get divorces when they are older. </i> You have probably heard this time and time again.  Studies have shown t hat children who live in divorces families are more likely to get a divorce, but there is no guarantee that this will happen.  To say that they will get divorced is simply a misstatement. Marriage and divorce will be something that they will form their own opinions about when they are older.  </p>
<p><b>7</b> <i>Mothers always have custody of children.</i> There myth is becoming more evident every single day. Dads are now stepping up to the plate and caring for their children. There are many dads who have chosen the responsibility and who have been given full custody of children during custody battles.  The children do not always end up with the mother.  </p>
<p><b>8</b> <i>Children from single parent families are not as safe. </i> Myth!  Single parent homes do not determine the safety and security of children.  Every situation is different.  A safe and secure home is does not always contain two parents.  </p>
<p>As you can see, there are many myths related to single parent families.  The key to overcoming these myths is to realize that every situation is different.  Children will handle events in life in different ways. Some will follow the norm and what is expected. Others, however, will overcome and succeed.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Long distance relationships are becoming the norm in society but one fact hasn’t changed.  They are still hard! The internet and dating websites have encouraged people to take the risk and begin relationships that may have thousands of miles between two people.  Long distance relationships are often difficult. They require clear communication and lots of work! If you have found yourself in this situation, the follow tips will help strengthen your relationship. Long distance relationships can last as long as you are building upon a strong foundation.</p>
<p>1 <i>Building trust.</i> If there is no trust in your long distance relationship, you should probably save yourself some heart ache and call it quits now.  Being able to trust your significant other is crucial.  You don’t want to spend time worrying about who he/she is with or what he is doing.  Know and believe that you can trust your significant other who is miles and miles away.  This will be the beginning of a successful long distance relationship.</p>
<p>2 <i>Finding time for each other daily.</i> Just as you would if you were near each other, finding time to spend together daily is important. This can be done via telephone or video chat as technology has helped long distance relationship to survive.  Regardless of which method you choose, you must make the effort.  Choose a time each day that work well for both of you and spend some time connecting and communicating.  Old fashioned letter writing is another great way to find time for each other.</p>
<p>3 <i>Celebrating milestones.</i> Celebrate monthly anniversaries by planning visits.  Choose unique locations to meet up and celebrate love.  Send flowers or candy on the day of the month the two of you met.  Celebrating milestones will keep the relationship new and fresh. </p>
<p>4 <i>Communicating needs and wants.</i> Communication is the most important part of a long distance relationship.  Communication is more than just small talk. It is explaining to each other your needs and wants.  There should be some substance behind the conversations. </p>
<p>5 <i>Find ways to make the other person feel special.</i> The little things will be very important in strengthening your long distance relationship.  Think outside of the box and do little things that will make her day better.  Send her a letter or email. Buy him something special and send it to the office.</p>
<p>6 <i>Go the extra mile to be attractive when you do see him/ her.</i> The times when the two of you do get to come together, go the extra mile to make him/her feel special.  Work hard to be attractive. Get a new hairstyle and a new outfit.  This proves that you are willing to put forth the extra effort to please him. </p>
<p>7 <i>Be clear on expectations of the relationship.</i> What is the ultimate outcome of the relationship? The relationships can be strengthened by making sure the both of you are on the same page.  If you want marriage within the next few years and he does not, there could be a problem. Be clear on expectations!</p>
<p>8 <i>Are the feelings mutual?</i> If you are serious about the relationship but aren’t getting the same vibe from you partner, there could be a problem.  Once again, expectations of the relationships must be made clear early on.</p>
<p>9 <i> Overreacting will hinder the relationship. Be realistic!</i> There will come times in the relationship when your partner will have to miss a phone call or you may have to go a while without seeing him.  Don’t let overreactions ruin your relationship. If he doesn’t call, assume that something has come up. Don’t assume he is cheating or doesn’t care anymore.  Be realistic!</p>
<p>10 <i>Stay positive about the relationship.</i> Your attitude will have a great impact on whether or not the relationship will survive the distance.  If you go into it thinking that it could never work, it never will. On the other hand, if you go into it with a positive attitude that it can succeed, you better the chances greatly. </p>
<p>Many couples have survived long distance relationships. The reality is that it will be difficult.  With the tips above, you can strengthen your relationship and beat the odds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before you can find your ideal mate, you need to find your own self confidence. Potential partners find a person more attractive when they have confidence oozing out of every pore. While you may not even notice this is what particularly attracts you to someone at first, people are naturally drawn to those who present themselves in a confident manner. If this is something you struggle with yourself, there are a variety of ways to start building your self-confidence. For many, it is a bit of a “fake it until you make it situation,” but sooner or later, there will be no more faking it involved! Below are some ways to boost your own confidence and then use that confidence to attract the mate of your dreams. </p>
<p><b>1. Take care of your personal appearance</b><br />
The easiest way to boost your confidence is to make sure you look good and are dressed appropriately all the time. If you are not happy with your hair, go to the salon and get a new look. If you wear makeup you can even ask the cosmetologist for his or her opinion on how you should apply your makeup and what colors are best suited for you. Looking good will make you feel good which will automatically increase your confidence. </p>
<p><b>2. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones</b><br />
If you are fearful of failing, like many of us are, you can combat these negative thoughts by trying to replace them with positive affirmations. Change your perspective and smile. If you need further education, stop hesitating and get it. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. </p>
<p><B>3. Exercise regularly</b><br />
Exercise increases endorphins in the body which are the “feel good” hormones everyone wants. Even if you are physically fit you should find the time to take a brisk walk for 20 to 30 minutes every morning or night to get those endorphins released and to elevate your mood. Exercise should become a habit. </p>
<p>When you have enough confidence in yourself and in your abilities, you are ready to find that perfect mate. Actively searching for a mate can be rather frustrating so it’s not advisable to seek someone out. Stand tall, carry yourself with confidence and you will have the attention of your perfect mate soon enough. Focus on the things that are helping to make you a better person such as volunteer work, missionary work or tutoring at the local school. These things will make you feel good on the inside and that will show on the outside. It’s even possible you will find your perfect mate while doing this work. You won’t have to ask what they like to do to help as you will already know you have something in common. </p>
<p>Using the laws of attraction to find the perfect mate is as simple as building your own self-confidence and then allowing that confidence to show through. Confidence is a major factor in the attraction of one person to another. Do something that makes you feel good and you will quickly find you are more confident than ever. Soon enough you will see your mate gravitating toward you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you’ve finally asked out the girl or guy of your dreams and you’re thrilled that they’ve agreed to go out with you. But now you are at a loss for what to do on your first date. You could go with the old dinner and a movie routine; it is pretty safe and it usually works. But, everyone does that, and you want to get across to your date that you’re not everyone; you want to be the one. <br /><Br></p>
<p>So how do you decide where to go and what to do on your first date? Here are a few ideas that you can use or tweak to fit the situation:<br /><Br></p>
<p>1.Hiking, running and walking are all great date ideas for outdoorsy types. These activities get your blood pumping and allow you to enjoy the great outdoors. Just make sure that you don’t set the pace for these activities too fast so that you won’t be out of breath and unable to talk to each other. <br /><BR></p>
<p>2.If your date is more into the arts, an art exhibit or a live play would be a great place to take him or her on a first date. Just be sure that you scope out the play or art show before hand as many artists like to use ‘shock value’ to get their point across. Be sure that the show is not too controversial or suggestive for a first date.<br /><BR></p>
<p>3.Food: it’s the fastest way to anyone’s heart. But instead of going to the same boring restaurant you always go to, why don’t you be a little adventurous and try something that neither of you have tried yet. Another good way to incorporate food into your date is to go to a cooking class together. Food can be very sexy, and cooking together, even if you aren’t that skilled in the culinary area, can give you an opportunity to talk and make a lot of eye-contact (sizzle!).<br /><Br></p>
<p>4.Taking your date to a game can be a good first date. Just make sure that the sport you are watching allows you to talk to each other without disturbing anyone, and also don’t get too caught up in the game that you forget to pay enough attention to your date. <br /><BR></p>
<p>5.If you prefer to play rather than watch, you can try a fun sport like bowling, mini golf, or billiards. These activities allow you to relax and just have fun. Just make sure not to beat your date too badly or be a bad loser. A little playful competition can be good, but if it gets too serious you should switch to another activity.</p>
<p>6.Group activities can be fun, unless your date is on the shy side. Going to a concert or club with friends, if you think it will be fun for your date, could be a great idea. Just be sure to break away from the crowd at some point and spend some time alone just to talk. <br /><Br></p>
<p>7.If you share a love of books, taking your date to a used book store and just fingering through old books can be very fun.<Br><Br></p>
<p>8.If books are not your idea of a fun date, you could try something more on the dangerous side. The adrenaline experienced when you encounter something scary can actually mimic the feelings of being in love, and so taking your date bungee jumping or white water rafting (if they are up to it) can actually increase your chances of getting a second date. <br /><Br></p>
<p>9.A movie can actually be a good first date move, as long as you switch things up so that it’s not so… ordinary. Bringing your date to a drive-in or setting up a projector and showing an old classic on the side of your house can be good ways to keep things fresh. <Br><Br></p>
<p>10.Finally, picnics! A picnic is a great idea for a first date because you can combine so many things: food, outdoors, exercise and sports (think Frisbee!), talking, eye-contact, the relaxed atmosphere, and you can even bring a book and your own music!<br /><BR></p>
<p>You can try out one of these ideas if you don’t know where to go on a first date, or let the ideas inspire you and come up with your own original idea!<br /><Br></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a single may be a chosen lifestyle for some people, but for most it is merely a stage before marriage. </p>
<p>Even those who have already been in a committed relationship such as single parents, divorcees, widows and widowers are referred to as &#8220;singles,&#8221; yet are often still looking for that special someone to marry. Even in this day and age, most people still consider the words &#8220;lifelong commitment&#8221; to really mean something and are looking for someone with whom to share their lives together.</p>
<p>The words &#8220;lifelong commitment&#8221; also apply to their Christian faith, which is not merely important to them, but is a fundamental part of who they are. For this reason, not only do people tend to want to date those of the same nationality, interests, ideas and affiliations, but also those who share the same religious beliefs. Therefore, singles often describe themselves by the religious group they belong to, such as Jewish singles, Christian singles or LDS singles.</p>
<p>There is another reason Christians tend to seek out like-minded believers. Sharing one&#8217;s faith with one&#8217;s partner is a crucial component to a successful relationship, and by extension, marriage.</p>
<p>According to the 2000 United States Census, those who identify themselves as Christians make up 80% of all American singles. These numbers show that not only are singles a large percentage of the American population, but of that number, a large percentage identify themselves as Christians. </p>
<p>This means that Christians have a wide pool of like-minded singles from which to choose. It also means that there are a lot of dating sites that are specifically geared towards catering to the Christian singles market.</p>
<p>As with all things in life, however, there can be some drawbacks in trying to find a partner through such sites who shares one&#8217;s faith. Let&#8217;s face it, many of these sites are businesses plain and simple. That is just an aspect of the free market system. Although they may be operated by Christians, they are still businesses, which means they can sometimes overlook the most important component as far as Christians are concerned-that of faith.</p>
<p>The fact is that Christian singles are not just looking for a &#8220;date.&#8221; They are looking for a true Christian partner who has a solid belief in God&#8217;s Word and the belief that faith should be an integral component of one&#8217;s life. Finding such a person requires much more than just a quick computer match of interests and qualifications of the type that is provided by most online dating sites.</p>
<p>Therefore, choosing the right Christian dating site can go a long way in helping one avoid the pretenders and finding a sincere, committed Christian partner. Once you have done that, you can find someone who shares your interest in a Christ-centered marriage, and with whom you can find contentment, happiness, and most of all commitment in living a Christian life together.</p>
