Online Dating - 11 Reasons To Go Online For Love

By Krisvis

Where do you go when you are looking for love?
Are you considering joining an online dating site but not sure, if it is right for you?
Yes, you are on the right track. I firmly believe that online dating fits in with our modern day lifestyles.
A couple of years ago online dating still had a stigma linked to it. Though people were using the Internet as a method of dating, they did not talk about it with their friends or colleagues, for fear of coming across as desperate. You can realize that online dating is meant for those who are simply tired of meeting time wasters, who were not at all interested in committing to a relationship.
If you are not convinced online dating is for you, here are 11 reasons why I think online dating has its advantages over regular dating.

1. You do not have to hang around until the weekend to meet someone.
2. You do not have to get dressed up for a great night “online”. Put on whatever you feel comfortable in at home.
3. If you work unusual hours, online dating fits in greatly with your schedule. You can log on at any time of the day or night...

The World of Online Dating Services

By Krisvis On August 26, 2009

Have you ever imagined that date of your life where you do not have to wear fancy clothes, splash yourself with perfume or cologne, primp yourself with makeup, and most of all fidget wondering if your date may not like you? If you are looking for that kind of date, online dating may just be the key to that. All you need is a computer, an Internet connection, a few clicks of your mouse and keyboard, and you will be on your way to the wonderful world of online dating.

Nowadays, many people depend on online dating as a means of finding their would-be girlfriend or boyfriend that could finally lead to finding their partner in life.  Many years back, online dating was not that popular since only a few had access to the Internet and many had the wrong implication of online dating, as the place or means where people can go when they cannot get laid, or when they want to do freaky and nasty stuff.  It is true that many people used to raise their eyebrows when they learned that two people met through online dating, fell in love, have a relationship after meeting, and eventually even get…

The Risks of Online Dating

By Krisvis On August 26, 2009

There is no question that the popularity of online dating has revolutionized the manner in which potential couples meet each other. These days, it is common for the average single person to participate in an online dating service. In fact, this trend is fast becoming the standard. In 2004, it was estimated that U.S. residents spent more than $460 million on online dating services.  It is understood that online dating is big business in America. There are many reasons why people opt into this method for meeting new people. The number of online dating services on the internet is so copious, many of which offer free services.

The amalgamation of curiosity and the desire to meet new and exciting people, is what usually lures individuals to be a part of an online dating service community. However, this new activity does not come without a price.  Sure, it does not happen all the time, but you just hear about horror stories about online dating services rather then the all of the good relationships that have come from online dating. Some of them are frightening enough to send casual observers away from these online dating services for good.

One of the problems facing the…

The Three Biggest Myths About Online Dating Services

By Krisvis On August 11, 2009

It seems as if online dating sites are just about everywhere you turn when you are browsing the Internet these days, so what is all this about? Many people are turning to online dating as a starting point to meet someone who shares their interests, no matter what those interests are. Online dating has in fact proven to be a key benefit to those looking for a like-minded partner with interests similar to their own, and is much better than spending time in a bar, in the library, and other “chance” places to meet someone.
However, like anything else, there are a number of misconceptions about online dating services. Much of this is just “logical assumption” on the part of people who do not appreciate online dating, but it is important to dismiss these myths so that you can reap the benefits of an online dating service and find which one is best for you.

Myth #1: You will not locate love online.
This myth was obviously starting by someone who either never attempted any online dating service or maybe joined the wrong service. The facts and information about online dating blow this untruth out of the water. Some of the online dating…

Online Dating or Matchmaker Services?

By Krisvis On August 11, 2009

Online dating and matchmaker services have their own benefits and dangers. Of course, you might think that online dating is more dangerous owing to the obviousness of the entire process, but that is not so. In online dating, many people post fake profiles with fake information so that people get easily attracted to them. When they lastly decide to meet up, the other person realizes that the person in the virtual world was a lot different from the one now sitting in front of her/him. The rampant possibility of this practice is because there are no screenings or checks in place, which are required before registering. Anyone can get himself or herself registered on the online dating websites. There are some websites, which do require some kind of verification, but more often than not, the lines of verification are so weak that anyone can without difficulty pass through it.

In the case of a matchmaker service, there is the point of paying for your services, which is almost non-existent in case of online dating. Though you might be asked for a hefty sum for finding the person of your dreams, be confident that he/she would not be the next candidate for…

Conversational Hypnosis: How To Make Her Dream of You All Night Long

By Krisvis On July 20, 2009

Hypnosis is a powerful means that has helped millions of people in many aspects like losing weight, quitting smoking and getting over tragic and devastating emotional suffering. It is a wonderful and relaxing process, that opens your mind to new thoughts and allows you to easily release the stress and anxiety that has been disturbing you.

Those that have gone into a hypnotic trance will inform you of the emotional comfort and relaxation you can feel as you sit there and listen as the voice of experience, that leads you into that wonderful state that is in between alertness and relaxed and unconscious sleep.
One of the most powerful forms of hypnosis ever developed is generally referred to as covert or conversational hypnosis. Covert is a bit of a misnomer, since the doctor who created it, Milton Erickson, was a therapist, and when people came to see him, they were coming for help with a precise problem. There was nothing secret about it at all. Conversational is likely a better term, because an alternative to swinging a watch and telling the patient how sleepy they were getting, he did something different.  He would start telling stories, and by following the apparently random…

How to Judge a Person by Their Dating Profile

By Krisvis On July 15, 2009

Most people are already prepared with the necessary skills that enable them to judge other people, but this is only in the real world. All it takes is a modification of the innate skills of a person in the physical world, to be translated and put to use in the cyber world.  However, it is up to you to judge a person’s dating profile. Once you get the hang of it, you will be amazed by how revealing or not, a dating profile can be, and how likely that person will end up being like their profile.

Evaluating Your Own Social Recognition Skills
Take a jotting pad and a pen, and score out the primary characteristics you usually notice in a person when meeting them for the first time. The best way to do this is to recollect at least five incidences of meeting people for the first time. In a sort of slow motion flashback, identify the characteristics of the person that you first noticed, that helped you judge the person. The dating profile of a person is the online counterpart of meeting a person for the first time.

Run a few profile searches in random and observe the profile characteristics that…

How To Use Her Nervousness to Your Advantage

By Krisvis On July 8, 2009

As you get better with approaching new women, you will find it very easier to just walk up to a woman, say “hi,” and ask for her name. You will moreover realize that most women are actually nice, and will talk to you, while only a few are aloof or act cold towards you. However, what do you do when she suddenly acts nervous while talking to her?

Nervous women are a cute bunch — their eyes dash to the floor when you say hi, they fidget their fingers through their hair, and laugh sheepishly each time she says anything. It does not even matter if they look attractive and self-sufficient, the right approach can send shivers up their spine.

Now, friendly women are easy enough to deal with — after all, it is easy to get an enjoyable conversation out of them. Unfriendly women are also easy to deal with — you just say, “thanks for the time,” and walk quietly away. However, nervous women are a different class; neither of the two previous approaches seems to be a good idea to do!  To deal with nervous women successfully, you will need to initially understand why they feel nervous around you.…
