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...

Dating After Divorce – The 7 Best Places on Earth For Divorced Men to Meet Women

By Krisvis On July 6, 2009

For men, going through a divorce is tougher than what women imagine it to be. The plan of dating is like planning to face a firing squad, after one has been hung at the scaffold.

Having gone through soul-sucking divorces and blood-gushing breakups myself, I felt it my responsibility to share some of the information I collected. I wanted men to know the bits of truth, which made the difference in how I approached women after my divorce.

The first thing was to stop looking for women anywhere in my locality, and start trying to enjoy relationships with women.  I chose very particular countries for their culture, social expansion and excellent women. Here is a list of the best 7 places on the planet for the most affectionate, faithful and amusing women.

1) Costa Rica: It has dual coasts; one facing the Caribbean Ocean, and the other on the Pacific. The women are dear, sincere, hot and savage. Yet they are decent and blameless. You can make this your new home.
2) Brazil: It is pure magic. The women appear like something out of a fairy tale. You think that you are in dream. You will go back over, just to see if you…

3 Do’s and 3 Don’ts For Dating Professionals

By Krisvis On July 2, 2009

Dating. Relationships. Ambitions. Career. Love. Do these fall into different baskets or can they co-exist with each other? In today’s society, we have been cultured to take life in the fast lane. Whether it is Starbucks, drive through dining, or even the purchase of goods and services online, we have created a way of life that removes steps from our daily actions. All this is done due to lack of time. As working professionals, time is valued and comes at a cost, a wage, a client, an opportunity. So, how do we co-mingle the intrinsic way of life that working professionals live, and also try to find a partner?

The only answer is that working professionals must take that discretionary time that they actually have, to seek out new acquaintances, and those people who can relate to our way of life.  People who are aware of how living in the fast lane can affect ones social and dating life.

There have been many books and movies released recently citing how men and women are much different, and how they mature at different ages. There have also been numerous theories about how to hook that someone that you are after. However, dating is…

How To Go From An Online Conversation to the Phone

By Merrill On June 26, 2009
There are particular rules when you are trying to move an online relationship forward.  Usually this process goes from the computer to the phone, once you have established a bond between the two of you.  But how do you make this transition smoothly, well here is the advice that will have you on the phone by the end of the day.

Let the Man Go First
Yes ladies, I am sorry to say that we must remain old fashioned when it comes to the phone.  If he wants to get to know you he will call.  We can go first on almost anything other then the first phone call.  It is too easy to come across the wrong way if you phone him.  Men have the tendency to feel smothered quite easily, so be patient, and put that phone down.

Get to be Unavailable
So what, you sit at home every night with your cat.  A lot of women do, you are not alone.  However, we do not all make that apparent to the opposite sex.  Not being around all the time is actually a turn on for guys.  it keeps them guessing on where you are, what you are doing and who you…

Dating Expert for Men

By Krisvis On June 26, 2009

If you are among those who usually are successful in dating, you are perhaps following some of the tips mentioned in this article. If you are just starting to date or if you are someone who usually strikes out with the women, then read on.  In order to find romance, there are certain rules to be followed. Also by following them, you could protect your emotions.

Women wish for men to put an effort into the way they look, so always try to look your best. Clothing that has seen better days a few years back, and with stains anywhere on it, cannot be the best suggested clothes to wear on a date. Well-groomed attire will be the way to present yourself when going on a date. Women do not think of romance if their date shows up at their meeting place looking very un-kept or messed up. Cleanliness also falls into this category. Showering, deodorant, clean clothes, being well manicured and having clean nails is a must.  No chewing gum, especially with your mouth open and having fresh breath go a long way towards making a good impression towards a woman.

Are you ambitious? Women mostly prefer men who have goals…

Dating Body Language - Is it Really Important?

By Krisvis On June 23, 2009

Dating is not all about the choice of words you use to converse. When it comes to dating, nothing is more significant than your body language. ‘Speaking’ the right dating body language is essential because it tells your date what kind of person you are. This can contribute to the success of your relationship.  The reason why body language is so influential is because it speaks directly to the subconscious mind, and it always succeeds over verbal communication. Let’s say you are thrilled about something your date just said. If you fold your arms still, your date interprets that you are not excited. All you want to do to win your date over is use your body language to get the point across.

There is another explanation why dating body language is so important, and that is because it could help create attraction immediately. In contrast, you would turn off a date and never get a second chance if you ’speak’ through it wrongly. Sorry if I may sound harsh, but whether I am harsh or not, it is the reality and if you want to succeed with your dates, you must learn to use the dating body language properly.  Below,…

Asian Online Dating - 3 Steps to True Love

By Krisvis On June 22, 2009

Are you lonely? Eagerly waiting for love and marriage? If you are, Internet dating, in particular Asian online dating sites, may be the solution. But how do you find a like-minded mate when you are relating at arm’s length? Here are three steps for finding true love through online dating.

Take Off Your Mask
We all know it is possible to stay anonymous on the Internet, and Asian online dating sites are not exempt from people wearing masks. You might be tempted to conceal your own “true self” behind a mask when linking to someone online.  However here is something to consider: how would you feel if the person you had been relating to for months online turned out to be someone totally different? What if those values and interests you thought you shared were not genuine?

Keep that feeling in mind while revealing yourself to someone you find striking on an Asian online dating site. That does not mean pouring out your deepest secrets in the first email of course! Common sense dictates shielding your privacy until you know someone better, but do not build up a mask to hide behind if you hope to find genuine love online.

Is He a Player? How to Spot the Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

By Krisvis On June 16, 2009

Are you interested in a man who has the confidence and charm you have been looking for, but are wondering if he is a player? If he is, would you not like to find out more before you get any closer to him? How important would it be for you to be able to spot a player coming from a mile away? If these are the questions which you are dying to have answered before getting into any relationship with a man, then you are about to learn the secret to finding out if he is a player.

The first thing you need to do to find out if you are the most recent addition to a long string of broken relationships is ask about his past. If this man has a practice of going through women very quickly then there is clearly something wrong with him. When it comes to this point, you can simply inquire about his dating life. This is not too personal, and as long as he has nothing to hide from you, he should be willing to tell you everything you ask about him.

The next thing to look for is if he has healthy relationships with…

Top 10 Things That Can Turn a Girl Off

By Krisvis On June 16, 2009

Girls are very susceptible beings, and they cannot help it if they have a long list of standards when it comes to the right guy they should be dating. Meeting a girl for the first time is the most significant time of the year. This is when they start to examine, and get to know what kind of guy you are. No, they are not impolite and ill-mannered. They are simply born that way. Here are some things that can turn a girl off. Find out how many you possess and do something about it, and I mean now, before it is too late!

• Being a slob-The hygiene department is ruled by the female species. So make certain that you wear clean clothes, brush your teeth, cut your nails and comb your hair. Hygiene is an obligation.

• Drinking and smoking-Girls will in due course accept the fact that you have a few ‘problems’, but do not binge drink or smoke yourself blind when they are around.

• Hanging out with your buddies a lot-Sure, they are your friends, but girls do find it frustrating if you spend too much time with them, and in particular if you ditch her for the…

Adult Dating - Things to Be Wary Of

By Krisvis On June 12, 2009

Adult dating sites! You may adore them, you may despise them. They always generate a debate. Some people say they support honesty, others say they are ethically bereft.
I am not concerned with judging people. I am open-minded enough to know that people are fond of these sites, so they apparently provide a valuable service to some. Instead of judging, I would rather take the position of advising you of some of the pros, cons, risks and rewards connected with this particular group of dating sites, so you can be better prepared if you decide that an adult dating is for you.

Adult dating sites have different drawbacks for men and women. That is, the risks women face are very different then the risks men face. Below is an abstract.

The dangers a woman faces from these sites are dangers to her “person”. These sites are likely to primarily emphasize open sexuality in dating, and therefore there is an anticipation that a date will quickly shoot up into a sexual encounter. Obviously problems can quickly start where the expectations of a date differ between the participants.  So the best advice I can give to women is to not put yourself in a position…

Reading Between the Lines in Dating

By Krisvis On June 11, 2009

There is a mistake that many of us make in dating and relationships, that by the end of the day, we feel that we do not know anything about the date that just occurred. It does not finish there. You try from the commencement of the date, to the end, to fill in the gaps of mistrust you are feeling as you try to figure out the date. You only finally realize that you have nothing to go by. You are ignorant of what she thought about you, or what she ended up conceptualizing the date. You have no idea. Yet, deep down you believe you know. It is just that you are not sure how to carry on.

You feel there is an opportunity that you can easily know what kind of mark you left on her, and whether it would be easily ineradicable or not. The most important thing about the dating exercise is examining whether the person you were meeting has any chemistry, and when it meets yours, whether it reacts into a formidable blend. It might not be so remarkable or impressive, but when you meet, you will feel the magnetism from the chemistry. You can conclude…
