Ten Reasons to Try Online Dating

Top Ten List for Finding a Boyfriend or Girlfriend

Top Ten List for Finding a Boyfriend or Girlfriend.

  1. EVALUATE. Evaluate the plusses and minuses of every single man/woman you meet. Having a strict "type" will leave you dateless.
  2. PRIORITIZE. Prioritize qualities like intelligence, personality and maturity along with physical attributes. Looks will fade and the qualities that ultimately matter will shine through over the long haul.
  3. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST. You probably aren't ready for a relationship until you can first handle paying the rent, and doing your own cooking and laundry.
  4. ELIMINATE BAGGAGE. Make sure you are over the last one before you start looking for a new one. Baggage from your last relationship will taint a new relationship. No one wants to hear excessive stories about the "evil ex" and "the one that got away."
  5. DON'T JUDGE BY THE FIRST DATE, USUALLY. A first date shouldn't usually be a deal breaker. Try three dates with a potential candidate before you decide. People are typically nervous on the first date. Give them a chance to calm down and show you who they really are. Everyone has a bad day, and sometimes it happens on a first date. If you still want to throw yourself under a bus after the third date, then trust your instincts, and give them the "It's not you, it's me" speech.
  6. COMPROMISE. You can't have it your way all the time. Be flexible and compromise - even on the little things. Let your date decide where to go the first time, then make a suggestion for the next date.
  7. DON'T BE SCARED BY EXPRESSION OF FEELINGS. If he/she says, "I love you" during sex, don't start picking out the wedding china yet. People often say passionate things in the heat of the moment, but the feelings and sentiments are sometimes fleeting.
  8. ELIMINATE THE LABELS. Don't label what you have too quickly. If it feels rights, just go with the flow for a while. If after 6 months you still don't know if you're a couple, then you probably need to have "the talk" to find out what's going on.
  9. FIREWORKS. Fireworks don't happen every time. It's unrealistic to expect amazing sex every time you're together.
  10. SMILE. The single most effective way to get a positive response is to smile. Show off those pearly whites to let them know how you're feeling.

Dating Dilemmas

Nobody wants to be single. OK, some people take time off from relationships to find themselves, excel in their career, buckle down and get through school, but in the grand scheme of things, nobody longs to spend their twilight years alone.
