2/07/2011

Feeling good about yourself is ‘so’ much more important than looking good when it comes to dating.
24/06/2011

Slowly changing your live to a more healthy lifestyle is going to make you feel good about yourself from day one, and feeling good makes you more confident and a more attractive person to be with. So rather than throw yourself into impossible gym routines, or try to run a marathon in your first week, set yourself smaller achievable goals from day one. Do this and you’ll be amazed the effect it will have on you, your self esteem and your love live! - click here to read the full article

Dating for parents, kids aren’t the problem you think they are

Recently a friend asked me how I approached dating my wife many years ago, as I looked at him he added, you know how did you deal with the kids and the ex always being around to see them? This got me wondering, thinking how for so many men thinking of dating a single mum, they see the kids before they see the women. They seem to see the children, and maybe their father as the main issue.

Dating, what do I say on that first date? - learn to listen first!

A common question that’s asked by friends who’ve just got in to mature dating is how do I handle that all important first date? The solution I always give is it is never about knowing what to say, it’s about knowing when to say nothing and just listen. I agree there is more to making a good impression, but I really can’t stress how important it is to listen. So often we throw ourselves into talking, trying to get our date onto our side, to impress them and come across as witty and intelligent, and before we realise it we’ve spent an entire date talking about ourselves - click here to read full article

Long distance dating though your PC to the whole of the UK can change your life!

All dating sites seem to go on and on about how they have loads of local members to you, and every county in the UK seems to have sprouted numerous county only dating networks. All of them of course feel sure that this is exactly what the UK online dating community want, but is there any research to substantiate this, no, it's just another case of big business thinking they know the market. All it has achieved is to limit the choice they offer, which is the opposite of what the world wide web is about, UK and world wide. And so will this not also apply to dating? - read the full article

Date the UK, the dilemma with age, dating older, and younger people

Dating in the UK these days offers so much more choice thanks to the internet and sites like this, with over 3.5 million members across the UK there really is somebody for everyone, but as you begin to search the site, local or nationwide how hooked up on the question of age are you? Are you like many looking at just people your own age, or just a couple of years either side, If so why? The world is full of millions of couples with an age difference of more than 10 years or so, if you think hard and put your mind to it you too can think of at least a couple or two you know personally. And yet we date the UK and all seem to shy away from contacting people a few years younger, or older, so why? - click here to read more
