Internet Dating Service

There are more cropping up each and every day. They grow like wildflowers on the side of the highways and unfortunately, not all of them are pretty or even fragrant. The worst of the bunch will be like a face full of pollen if you get too close, but the best might be worth the drive to discover. The wildflowers in this instance are Internet dating services and they are a dime a dozen. There are free ones, one-time charge ones, monthly fee ones and ones that graduate their expense based on the level of member you will be and … Continue reading →

Do You Know What Are You Looking for in a Spouse?

It’s easy to say you are on the market and you are looking for love. It’s easy to say you are looking for that special someone that you can settle down with for the rest of your life.

Singles Sites

When you sign up at singles sites, you go through the process of filling out personality profiles, interests, desires and wishes. You can list the things you like to do, the things you’ve dreamed of doing and even the things you wouldn’t think of doing. But what if you’ve listed your profile with the singles site and you still aren’t getting the responses you want? Many of the singles sites offer advice including how to build the best profile, but what you are looking at is does the profile really reflect you? Does it come too strong? Too weak? Are … Continue reading →

Are You Over 50 and Dating?

If you are, then I’d say you are in good company. It used to be that when you were over the age of 50, especially if you were female, single or widowed, you were an object of sympathy for your married friends and peers. The idea of hearing wedding bells in this demographic is slim and I know a number of these women who all say the same thing – they don’t want to get married and the question they ask is why would they want to? Why Would They Want to Get Married? Single men in their 50s are … Continue reading →

If You Like “Bad Boys” (or Girls) Read This

The dangerous type of guy seems so attractive. His rugged good looks and “who cares?” attitude seem so free and exciting.

You may be sitting there thinking, “What’s wrong with me?” Well, there is probably not a thing wrong with you, except for the fact that you choose the wrong types of men.

What the Heck is Speed Dating?

The first time I heard of speed dating was when I saw the movie, “Hitch.” Will Smith goes after the girl who stole his heart, and interrupts her mid “date” to tell her how he feels about her. You may have heard of this trend before, but some of us old married ladies were unaware of this phenomenon. I thought it was rather intriguing. The idea is to gather lots of singles together to mingle, and then to have them engage each other in one on one conversation for a specified amount of time. Then, when the time limit expires, … Continue reading →

Dating: Listen to that Little Voice

We all have a little voice inside that tells us things, usually things we don’t want to hear. When it comes to dating pay attention! That voice is trying to tell you that the guy you think is just too hot is not the right guy for you. On the other hand, it might be telling you men that the ultra-sweet girl you are getting ready to ask out for the second time is not quite as sweet as she seems. People can manage to be on their best behavior during a quick meeting to make plans or even during … Continue reading →

Dating Advice

You will get lots of dating advice and most of it is given with the best of intentions. Still, you’ll find a good deal of it to be worthless, if not damaging. Even though we offer advice here, I still recommend that you weigh it against your own thoughts and feelings. Never take advice, no matter how good it might sound, as the final word on any subject. Ultimately, you have to decide what is right for you. On that note, perhaps a better title for this article would be “dating suggestions.” I don’t want to tell people what to … Continue reading →

What is Online Romance?

Online romance is the type of thing you might read about in a novel. In fact, there are several series of romance novels that have used the online romance as a plot point because romance novels appeal to the fairytale wishes that people carry in their hearts. Romance, while considered a woman’s area, obviously appeals to men as well for they are often doing the romancing themselves. Where online romance differs from others is that it is a romance not grounded in the physical world but the virtual. It might come as a surprise to many that even virtual property … Continue reading →

Ladies, Who Do You Want?

In June, I wrote a blog called What Do Women Want? and attempted to address the question that many women ask themselves over the years, what do we want in a potential mate? What attracts us to one man and not to another? For example, do you find Hugh Jackman attractive? Are you more interested in Brad Pitt? Or is George Clooney the man for you? When it comes to romance and relationships, answering just what do women want is not the easiest of questions. Why is it so hard? Easy, not all women are the same and what appeals … Continue reading →
