How to Captivate a Man, Make Him Fall in Love with You -- and Give You the World
Tuesday
The secret to understanding men -- and using it to your advantage

When it comes to your relationships with men, which of the following do you find yourself saying? (Check the ones that apply to you.)
"Why didn't he call?" "How can I find the right man? "Why do I always date losers? "Why doesn't he love me anymore? "What am I doing wrong? "Why do some women have great relationships with men -- and mine are always dull, unfulfilling and boring? "If only I could understand men...."
If you checked one or more of the above, then the following article may be the most eye-opening one you'll ever read.
The important thing to remember is that you're not alone. Most women -- whether single or married -- have asked themselves these kinds of questions. In my 16 years of relationship counseling, I've found that the reason women have these concerns is because they simply don't understand men.
Did you know ... that you as a woman, by virtue of your femininity, have in your hands the delicious power to make a man fall in love with you, influence a man to your way of thinking, bring him to his knees, make him want to spend his life with you -- and want to fulfill your every desire?
Yes, it's true! You can have a healthy, loving relationship. And the best part is that you can do it easily and effortlessly by being yourself -- and NOT shaping yourself into someone you're not just to keep your man interested. I'll give you solid proof of this in a moment.
When you read this article in its entirety, you'll discover how to tap into the power that resides within you -- whether you want to revolutionize your dating life, get married or spark the fire within your marriage.

Who Am I -- and Why Should You Believe Me?
My name is Bob Grant. I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor, therapist, and relationship coach for 16 years. The majority of my clients are women, who have sought my help in creating successful, satisfying, and fulfilling love relationships by simply understanding men.
More than the certificates and licenses I've accumulated over the years, I take most pride in the number of wedding invitations I receive from my clients who've found successful, healthy relationships as a result of my relationship advice and tips. I've also saved dozens of marriages from disaster, dissolution -- and just plain boredom.
That's why I'm called "The Relationship Doctor." I have the prescription for finding love, keeping passion alive, and reigniting relationships that have lost their spark.
The method I'm about to reveal to you is not based on theory, guesswork or the "psycho-babble" that's disseminated by pop psychologists, self-help books and women's magazines. Unlike other resources that claim to help you understand men, my strategy is based on real-life feedback from thousands of real-life women who tried my relationship advice and found that it produced a dramatic difference in their relationships with men.
Now, you can find out what my method can do for you. Whether you're ...
a single woman who wants to attract the right man -- or add romance to your dating life
a woman who dates frequently, but finds it hard to sustain a relationship with a man;
a woman who wants to be married but can't seem to persuade the man in your life to pop the question; or
a married woman who wants to spark the fire within your marriage and enjoy deeper intimacy with your husband
... you'll discover the secret that will make you radiate like a warm and glowing campfire -- and give you an aura that men will find absolutely irresistible.

How to Be the Woman Men Adore ... and Never Want to Leave
Have you ever met the kind of woman ...
that men fall hopelessly in love with with whom men want to spend all their time whom men want to please and do anything for who brings out the romantic and passionate side of a man; and to whom men want to give everything? What special quality, trait, or personality does this woman have that men find attractive and draws them like a magnet, makes men powerless in her hands, and makes them want to spend their lives with her?
I've personally met many women like this -- and here's the startling observation I've made: These women are not necessarily the most beautiful, the tallest, the smartest, the one with the most gorgeous hair, sexy legs or the most ample breasts, as one might think!
A look back in history reveals the likes of ...
... homely divorcée Wallis Simpson, for whom the Duke of Windsor abdicated the throne of England; ... the early-twentieth-century French writer Colette (described as having a "frightful" appearance), who managed to have numerous male conquests; ... Martha Gellhorn, the plain-looking scholar for whom Ernest Hemingway became love-sick and never recovered; ... Mumtaz, for whom the Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal; and ... Camilla Parker Bowles, who won the heart of Prince Charles.
And then, of course, there's Barbra Streisand, who captured the heart of, and later married, the handsome actor James Brolin. In fact, she reportedly refused his many marriage proposals before finally agreeing to be his wife.
These kinds of women know the secret to creating magic with men. And here's the good news for you, if you're like most women who struggle with relationship trouble. The ability to create magic with men is NOT really magic at all. It’s a skill which can be learned by any woman -- and that includes you!
Before I tell you how to acquire that secret skill (which already resides inside you, though dormant), let me ask you a question:

Why Do Most Women Struggle in Their Relationships with Men?
There are many reasons why women have relationship trouble, but as I mentioned before, the main reason is that women simply don't understand men. If a woman really understood men, she'd know how to effortlessly attract men like a magnet, make men powerless in her hands, have them treat her like a queen, and give her everything her heart desires.
The main obstacle women face in their effort to understand men is that they turn to all the wrong things: They seek advice from their girlfriends, who are just as clueless as they are in figuring men out; and they read dime-store relationship advice from women's magazines.
If you're like most women, you probably love talking to your girlfriends about your relationship troubles, and -- yikes! -- asking them for relationship advice. Unless your girlfriend happens to be a professional relationship therapist, who has counseled many couples towards successful relationships -- and unless she herself has a successful relationship with a man (very important!) -- it's unwise to take relationship advice or tips from your girlfriend (or your mother, sister, cousin or aunt, for that matter).
By all means, seek the listening ear of a girlfriend if you simply want to unburden -- and if talking to your girlfriend makes you feel better. But always remember that talking to your girlfriends (as depicted accurately in the once-popular Sex and the City TV series), fosters deeper and better friendships with your girlfriends -- but does nothing to improve your relationships with men.
Now, don't get me wrong. Some of your girlfriends might indeed have the wisdom to give you good advice -- but that advice will almost always be based only on their own limited experience and observation. Just because your girlfriend has had an experience similar to yours doesn't mean her advice applies to your situation.
I chuckle every time I remember the story of a woman who spent hours on the phone with her girlfriend discussing why her boyfriend was giving her the silent treatment, and what she might have done to provoke it, and what she could do to get him talking again. All the while, her boyfriend was just not in a talkative mood because he was worrying that the carburetor in his car wasn't working right!
Just goes to show how little women know about men!

Everything You Ever Learned About How to Attract and Keep a Man is Wrong!
There's another insidious thing masquerading as relationship advice for women -- and that is, women's magazines. Women's magazines teach women how to look, be and act around men -- and only serve to impress other women, propagate poor self-image, and show women how to "hook" a man by being everything but themselves. Sadly, most of the relationship tips that women's magazines give were written by women for women -- and they don't enable women to understand men at all.
What if I told you that you could make a man adore you just by being yourself?
Yes, you don't have to be anything but yourself. There's just one condition. You also have to understand what a man wants.

Will Giving a Man What He Wants Get You What You Want?
My answer is a resounding "Yes!"
Here's the hidden key to a loving relationship. Men want to be enraptured by a woman. They may not admit it openly, but they want to be lured, finessed, bewitched, possessed and seduced by a woman -- and they don't mind surrendering to her siren maneuverings and be rendered powerless by her. A man would gladly give anything to the woman who can make him feel good.
Unfortunately, most women simply don't know how to make a man feel good. Believe it or not, the majority of women have the mistaken notion that learning a few sexual tricks and bedroom stunts from Cosmo and the Kama Sutra, or cooking him sumptuous meals "better than Mama ever made" ought to do the trick -- and their man would stay devoted to them forever.
That's an outdated mode of thinking derived from the old wives' tale that says "The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach" -- or his crotch, in most instances. If that were true, then sex therapists, prostitutes and professional chefs would have the best marriages, wouldn't they?

How to Online Date - Tips For Writing A Seductive First Email
Tuesday
Guys... Why don't hot girls ever email you back? This article will teach you some advanced techniques to capture her attention and make a connection with her. You'll be able to craft emails that will leave her *needing* to know more about who you are.

Analyze the bad emails she gets 50 times a day and see why they don't work.

Hot women online dating get a ton of emails from guys every day. Let's start by looking at the average email a guy sends a girl on an online dating website and why it doesn't work. I'm not accusing you of writing one of these, but just in case you *might* have, take a quick look. It goes something like:

"Hi, I saw your profile and you are really cute! I like your hat in that picture, it's really nice, where did you get it? Anyway, come take a look at my profile and if you like what you see, email me!"

This email can be broken down into three parts. Bad. Badder. Baddererest.

Sentence 1: Bad
The last thing a hot girl who gets 50 emails a day wants to read is another average guy saying another average thing. Also, ban "cute" from your vocabulary. Cute is so bland and overused, it barely has any meaning to women anymore. Besides, women want to be beautiful. Not cute. Ask them!

Sentence 2: Worse
"I like your hat" is a good example of the bad online dating advice given out by MSN and Yahoo online dating "experts" (COUGH). They say "find something in her profile or photo and ask her about it." That's great if you want to be her friend, but it doesn't make any kind of connection, so forget it. I'll tell you what to ask about in a minute when I'm done having my fun tearing apart this bad email.

Sentence 3: Worst
Just a well educated guess, but I'd say 80% of bad emails to girls end with "come take a look at my profile and if you like what you see, email me." What's wrong with that? First, everyone does it. Second, you need to end your email with a command, not a suggestion! Salesmen and marketers call it a "call to action", like "BUY NOW!" You don't need to go that heavy, but realistically, anything commanding and interesting is better than a passive "if you like what you see..." You'd be better off ending it with "rabid monkeys are eating my fingers as I type, email me back or they'll finish me off!" Actually, I kind of like that one. Feel free to try it out.

Thus ends our "Anatomy of a Bad Email" lesson...
Step2STEP 2: Basics of a good email

The most important online dating tip I can give you is... BE INTERESTING! Most guys really do write the same boring email over and over. If you really want to blow her away, and grab her attention from the pack, you need to get her attention by being interesting and unique, and then create a connection with her.

The easiest way to get her attention is to have a sense of humor and one of the strongest ways to build a connection with her is by being insightful. You are about to learn both.
Step3Step 3: How to have a sense of humor...

There are lots of ways of showing a sense of humor in an email, but this is a simple technique that anyone can do. First, read her profile up and down, back and forth. Pick out something that is completely unique to this girl, and ignore all the stuff she's written that you've seen already in dozens of other women's dating profiles.

For example, she says, "I'm smart, funny, unique, love baseball, study medicine, and also work on a chicken farm."

Forget everything but the chicken farm. The chicken farm makes her unique! Try to let your brain come up with the craziest, funniest observations you can. You might write something like:

"A chicken farm? I love chickens! We'd be the perfect couple... You could poach extra chickens from work and I could fence them on the chicken black market. Eventually we could build up a nest egg and flee the coup to sunny Chichen Itza!"

Ok, that's a bad set of puns, even for me. But you get the humor in it and she will too. You are touching on what makes her unique, the little point that most guys ignore in order to go for the easy and mundane stuff like "I like your hat." Picking out the unique points alone will get her attention, and having a sense of humor about them will win her over.
Step4Step 4: How to be insightful

Guys don't really read profiles. Sure, we skim them over a couple times and look for points to talk about, but we don't usually read between the lines. We don't really look for the depth of her words, the subtext of what she is really saying... what she is really asking for. What am I talking about? Let's go right to an example.

Here's a section of a woman's profile:
"I've been here before, perhaps too many times, each time a little more jaded. If only we could be more honest with each other, the world would be a better place. I'm looking for a guy who is kind, faithful, and sincere."

Is she saying she is looking for a kind, faithful, sincere guy?
Only on the surface. What she is really telling us is...

"I've been hurt by men."

How did I get that out of the above paragraph? Re-read what she's saying: she's come back time after time, even more jaded, which means she's gone through numerous relationships, each of them having ended badly. She's wishing for more honesty, which means she's faced a lot of deceit. And she's looking for a guy who is kind, faithful and sincere, which heavily suggests that she knows what she wants because she's done time with a lot of guys who have been unkind, unfaithful, and insincere to her.

So, I see this profile and I see a girl who has been hurt, and I know that she will respond to a guy who is kind, faithful and sincere? So is that how I present myself?

*NO!*

I'm going to do even better. There's a guy that she'll respond to way more readily than the above guy... a guy who UNDERSTANDS HER! Forget everything about what women say they want on the surface! Deep down... they want to be understood (we all do really). Being a guy who understands who she really is and sympathizes with her is much more powerful and rare.

To address that, I would write something like:
"I read your profile and couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness at your words. We all seek happiness in life, but disappointment certainly seems to find its way in often enough. Like you, I simply seek a bright sunny day in a cloudy world."

I don't confront her issues directly of course, a subtle brush is all it takes to get her attention and let her know that the potential is there. This would certainly get her attention away from the guys who write "I'm sincere, honest, and faithful." You know... the same guys that hurt her in the past?
Step5Step 5: Wrap it up

So you've grabbed her attention with humor, then you let her know that you are an intelligent, insightful guy that is really paying attention to her. You've got her attention. Now you just need to wrap it up and drive her towards your profile (if you are simply on a classified site like Craigslist, you will want to add more details about yourself).

There are lots of great ways to wrap up your email to her. A simple and effective one is to create a positive image of the two of you together, and command her reply.

For example:
"Picture this... You and I walking in the park, playing catch or just kicking around with a couple of ice creams on a sunny Saturday... If that's the way you love to spend a lazy weekend, we'll get along famously. My email is at the bottom, you know what to do!"

Now simply wrap those three things together... in your own words of course... and start emailing girls. And wait, one more critical thing... Always include your picture! Having a great photo is a different article, but it's something you absolutely must do.

What... you thought it would be as simple as writing "Hey baby, what's up?" :) Cheers and happy dating!

How to create a safe profile for online dating
Online Dating is a very popular way to meet people and to date. There are, however, dangers to online dating. Creating a safe profile is one of the keys to staying safe.

Do not put your contact information in your profile such as your email, phone number or address. If you need to talk to someone online try to use a messaging tool such as MSN, Yahoo, or AOL. Remember, it's safer to email and chat through the dating site. Some scammers are more willing to chat on Yahoo or MSN since there's no monitor for them. You can become a member for free here to check more detailed tips for this.

If you have children do not talk about your children in your profile. Although people may be interested to know if you have kids or not, it is not wise to tell anyone about your kids until you feel comfortable with the person.

When posting a picture of yourself remember that the people looking at that picture will judge you on it. Select the picture you think works well for what you want to get out of online dating. Load pictures that you think may appeal to the kind of people you want to meet.

How to Improve Your Online Dating Profile
Write a smart headline: Stay away from overused catch phrases or trite one-liners. Think about what makes you unique. Your headline can be about you or about who you are seeking. Stay away from negative or apathetic headlines, "I'm lonely," "Pick me" or "Blah, blah, blah," for example. Think of something that is important to you to share with a mate and then use a headline based around that (art, music, tennis, travel).

Use Pictures Wisely: For your main photo, use a clear picture that shows your face. You can include other candid shots in your additional photos that show full length, or close-up in a variety of situations.

Use recent photos and update them once every couple of weeks. We are usually our own worst critic so enlist some friends to help pick the most flattering pictures for your profile.

Keep It Positive: Information about bad break-ups, bitterness, and hostility are a sure way to get passed by. It might be a sign that you aren't ready for a new relationship.

Keep your profile focused on you, not on a laundry list of expectations. What do you like to do? What things are important to you in life? Don't mention exes and avoid bragging or focusing only on your career.

Be Honest About Who You Are: If you are funny by nature, write funny. If you aren't, then don't. Try to make your real personality come through in your writing. Don't pretend to have interests just to impress someone. If you love listening to 80's music, say so. On the Internet, you are never alone.

Pretend It's a Cover Letter: Just because it is personal business doesn't mean you can forgo spell check and punctuation. Proofread your profile and ask other people's opinions on it. Your friends will tell you whether or not it sounds like you.

There's a fine line between too much and not enough when it comes to dating profiles. That goes for both information and word counts. Several short paragraphs will do more for you than two sentences. Likewise, no one wants to wade through the first three chapters of your biography online either.

How to Effectively Date Online
Online dating is now mainstream with its popularity growing daily. So, what are you waiting for? Find Mr. or Mrs. Right online with these tips.

Yahoo Personals and Match.com are the largest online dating sites with the most members. Consider joining one of these online communities if you do not have specail requirements of your match.

If you have a particular interest, there are many niche online dating services for you. For example, if you want to meet rich and wealthy men or beautiful woman and celebrities, try millionairecupid.com or millionairematch.com since they are the most reputable millionaire club in the dating inudstry.

Once you've found a dating service you like, use an attention-grabbing headline and write an upbeat, positive profile. Make it stand out by writing interesting things about yourself and the kind of person you're looking for. Leave all negativity and inappropriate or offensive writing out.

Be realistic. If you are a 60-year-old man and you write that you are looking for women 20 to 40, you are not likely to attract many dates. It's OK to have specific ideas in mind of what you're looking for, but keep it open-minded and realistic.

Post great pictures of yourself. These should be recent (within a year) and be clear, non-distracting shots. Do not post pictures that have other people in them, especially members of the opposite sex. Only post photos that you have you in them. Posting a picture of just your dog will not help the reader know if he or she is attracted to you.

Be honest in your essay. Lying about your age means you are starting off the relationship with a lie. It's not necessary to divulge everything about yourself but don't stretch the truth. When you meet potential dates, they will find out the truth anyway.

If you are having a lot of trouble writing your essay or coming up with a good headline, consider enlisting the help of a professional writer.

How to Survive a Long Distance Relationship
The Internet, email, chat rooms and cell phones all help to make long distance relationships much more common these days. But they don't make long distance dating easy, by any means. Here are some tips to help make your relationship work.

Make up your mind to commit to the relationship completely. Long distance relationships are hard enough. They're pretty well impossible if you're indifferent about the person on the other end of the phone line.

Set a date for the next time you will see your partner. If you know when you're next going to see each other, it will make the time in between seem that much more bearable.

Make any necessary arrangements for the trip, such as booking time off work, buying bus or plane tickets.

Try to have some form of contact most days. Even if you just send a text message to let him know you're thinking of him, it will help you both feel more connected.

Every now and then, go the extra mile. Write her a letter or send a card. Even make up a parcel of small gifts or newspaper articles from your city paper to remind her that you're thinking of her even from miles and miles away.

Send some fun emails to each other. Fill out and forward an email questionnaire about yourself, and get him to do the same in return. It helps you find out more about each other in a relaxed way.

Try communicating by instant messenger. You can almost have a proper conversation and it's free.

Consider investing in a web cam, if you don't already have one. It allows you to see each other and can help you to feel like you are almost in the same room.

If you live in different countries, research the cheapest ways to communicate by phone. International phone cards may be a good way to call, or there are a number of Internet phone packages.

Recruit friends to help you. They may find it hard to be supportive if they have never met your loved one, so consider encouraging them to email her or speak to her on the phone when she calls you.

Online Dating Tips for Beginners (3)
Monday
4) Using the Dating Site Features

Depending on whether each dating site charges per month or whether they are free, the features they offer as part of their program will also differ.

Most dating sites will allow you to post your profile for free. When you browse their existing profiles and you find a person you might like to contact, most sites will not let you contact them unless you pay.


Contacting the interested person maybe either via a "wink" or an "Instant Messenger" or internal email via the site. Each of these features will be useful in their own right.

A quick and easy method to show your interest to the person you are interested is to send a "wink". This way you don"t have to come up with your own "chat up line" or other creative ways of getting their attention. The dating site will have predefined "winks" setup so you just select one wink you like and then "voila!" your desired person will have got your "wink". If they are interested they can "wink" or message you back.

Sometimes it is better to Instant Message a person. If you find that person rarely comes "online" you can watch for them and just say "Hi".

An internal email message to the interested party is best. You can describe yourself better and plant a better "first impression". "Instant Messages"invitations may be rejected as they don"t know much about you.


If the online dating site you signed up has chat rooms, you can say "Hi" in the chat room and then take the conversation to a private "whisper" mode for more privacy to converse.


5) Take Your Time To Get To Know

Some people who start on dating online rush into relationships that they later regret. It is critical that you get to know the other person very well before arranging a face to face meeting..

There are several reasons for this. Firstly, your only interaction with this person has been electronically.. Sometimes you may have taken the conversation to a phone conversation by exchanging numbers or calling that person. On these mediums the other person can easily create quite a "make believe" scenario and in the "heat of the moment" you might be blind to the reality's.

It is very important to get to know them from all angles before committing to meet them in person. One of the best ways is to ask questions. Especially open ended questions. Whatever you do, do not assume anything about the other person. This is not fair on either of you. Either because you are not telling yourself the truth, and not fair on the other person as you may be misjudging them.

When you are ready to meet, choose a place to meet which you feel comfortable with. Be yourself, and enjoy the dating process. Best of all, have fun getting to know the other person. If it is not fun then it is not worth your time.

Online Dating Tips for Beginners (2)
2) Specify What You Want

Decide what kind of dating or relationship you want to have. Specify clearly in your profile exactly what your looking for.

Is it marriage, a long-term relationship, short-term casual dating, or even intimate encounters for very short-times.

This helps you identify what you are looking for and lets other people know what you are looking for as well.

3) Setup Your Amazing Profile

The profile needs to be informative and appealing, yet stand out from the crowd in some way. In fact, it should reflect the true you as much as possible. Now, there are some do's and don'ts where online dating profiles are concerned, so let's look at those more closely.

Pictures - It's critical to put up at least one picture of yourself in an online dating profile. With a picture in place - even a bad picture - you're profile will get viewed ten times more than a profile without one.

Your first name - Using an online "handle" or nickname is ok, but you should reveal your first name in your profile. This makes you appear much more honest and open. Without a name, people may be inclined to believe you're an imposter, or that you're trying to hide something.

Just your first name - Do not reveal your full name in an online dating profile. You never know who might come across it, and what kind of person they might be. So always use caution with how much personal information you reveal online.

Write a bit about yourself - Don't write your life's story. This part can be as long or as short as you'd like, but it's best to summarize in just a paragraph or two. Stay upbeat here, don't complain about failed relationships and a cheating ex.

Again, don't reveal anything overly personal when putting information about yourself in your online dating profile. It's fine to explain what profession you're in for instance, but don't specify exactly where you work or who you work for. Likewise there's no problem stating the area you live in, but don't include your home address and phone number.

What are you looking for? - This part is for you to explain why you're creating this online dating profile to begin with. Do you want friends? Frequent dates? A romantic relationship? A life partner? Summarize those desires here, without going into intimate details. You want to make sure you've left things to talk about with men or women when they contact you.

What are your likes and dislikes? - Now this part can be used to explain things you like or don't like in a mate or friend, or it can be used for general likes and dislikes in life. Don't make a long list of every single thing you can think of here, just put the top 5 or 10 as a starting place.
Remember: Your online dating profile is designed to generate interest from the type of men or women you're looking for. Keep it upbeat and positive. When done well, an online dating profile can generate lots of interested prospects, while leaving you plenty left to talk about and learn about each other too.

Online Dating Tips for Beginners (1)
Choose a Reputable Dating Site

This is the most important step and you need to pick a good dating site to get going. Unfortunately not all internet dating sites do the right thing, and if you do choose the wrong one you're likely to waste both your time and money. You could also walk away from online dating thinking every site is a con. This simply is not true and there a several reputable sites out there.

Browse each online dating site very carefully. Read the members comments and look in any "feedback" areas and read the "Terms and Conditions". Be suspicious of any sites who state that some profiles may be for marketing purposes only.

Once you have decided on a site, sign up as a trial member. Browse the member profiles on the site and read each profile. Look at what they are looking for in their dating partner and see if you are compatible. Some online dating sites will allow you to browse profiles without registering first. You can use this opportunity to browse the dating profiles and assess whether that online dating site is your kind of place to hang around.

Remember that if it sounds to good to be true it probably isn't. Some sites try to trick people into paying for full memberships by sending messages from their "Marketing Profiles" to new members. Once the member has joined up the marketing profile disappears. If you get an unsolicited message from a super model who claims to live next door, you may be very lucky. You may also be being conned.

Not all Dating Sites are the equal. Some are fancy. Some are quality. Some are cheap. Some are free. Some are completely deceptive and make you think they much larger than they really are. Think before you pay for anything and check out the options before you commit.

Tips for choosing a reputable dating site:

Don't be fooled by sites that say "Member Listings"

If you see the term "Member Listings" on a dating site with a large number in front of it, beware! It does not necessarily mean they have that many members.

If a site displays "1,042,252 Member Listings" they probably don't actually have that many physical members. They could have 1 member that has a million listings. "Member Listings" can be things like photos, interests, messages, notices, etc. You will obviously do poorly on these sites. Some sites operators do this to make themselves seem larger than they really are, Don't be conned into signing up.

Do look for sites that say "Members"

Look for sites that say "Members" not "Member Listings" this is the number of actual people who have registered on that dating site. Not the number people multiplied by their interests, photos, messages, etc.

Don't get conned by "Online Now"

"Online Now" is generally displayed on the top right hand corner of most dating sites. One would think that "Online Now" represents the number of actual people you can meet right now. This is correct on most of the reputable dating sites but unfortunately not all sites play fair and they will do anything to con you into signing up.

We found one site in particular that regularly displays "7,000 to 10,000 Online Now" in Australia most of the time. This includes 2am on a Wednesday morning. This which seem pretty unlikely considering most have to work in the morning.

Often if you click on their "Online Now" link, they do not show you a breakdown of their "Online Now" figures and how they are made up. Rather a registration page which requires you to join before receiving any explanation at all. Don't go any further!

Often their explanation for calculating the number of people "Online Now" includes a rather large of people who are not visible, not logged and cannot be contacted. "Online Now" in the context of dating site should mean people you can meet right now.

We can only guess they do this to give the impression there is a lot more activity on the site than there really is, This is another way they try to con you into getting you to sign up.

Do think about the Maths
Larger web sites in Australia have around "4,000 Members Online"
The larger and well established sites in Australia have up to 4,000 members online during their peak times This is between 8 and 11pm each night. To put the false and misleading "7,000 to 10,000 Online Now" figure into some sort perspective. The largest dating web site in world, (Source: Guinness Book of Records) has approximately "15,000-20,000 Online Now" at given time. Given that Australia is about 2% of the worlds entire internet traffic, the maths just don't add up.

Don't get conned by False Messages
Beware of messages from beautiful Women, Couples and Men!
If you submit your profile to a dating site and all of a sudden you start receiving messages from people that seem too good to be true, beware! Be especially cautious if you have not paid for a subscription to that dating site.

Some unsavoury dating site operators may create fake profiles of women, couples and men on their own web sites. These fake profiles then send messages, kisses or winks to your profile. Here's the catch, for you to send a reply message you have to pay for a subscription.

Once you have paid for your subscription and try to contact these people you will never hear from them again.

The Dating Guide has conducted some testing on this matter.
We tested most of the dating sites in Australia is by submitting several male profiles to the same site. The profiles we created for each site where extremely diverse, some of them were filled out meticulously while others had silly things in them like; "I have 2 heads and 6 arms and a ear on my forehead".

We then waited to see if we received any messages...

On some of the sites we tested all of the profiles including the silly ones received exactly the same message from exactly the same women stating; "she would like to hookup sometime". The woman's profile was unbelievable, she was perfect in every respect including pictures of herself in lingerie. When we had paid for a subscription she disappeared and did not return any of our messages again.
On a positive note there are all sorts of people on the more reputable sites including some very attractive, women, men & couples. Its more than likely however that you will have contact those people yourself. It's unlikely they will just contact you out the blue! Getting results on dating sites is like anything else in life, you have to work at it and put some time and effort in to get results.

Do look at Reputation, Reputation, Reputation!
It's not all bad news. The larger and more well established dating sites definitely do the right thing and there are many many testimonials and success stories available on the internet and from the sites themselves.

Signs of an Affair Can Be Tricky
Sunday
Cheating partners may not seem like a big deal unless you suspect you might have one.

I just finished reading 46 Clues Your Partner is Having an Affair and it got me thinking. Just how many people are sneaking off with someone else?

The internet leads to all kinds of numbers on cheating. Some surveys found over 50% of the people polled to be unfaithful (both men and women!). Think that's worrying? Consider this: studies done worldwide show that about 2 of every 10 of us were born as the result of an affair!

You can even find websites dedicated to catching cheating partners. If you're thinking of dating somebody, maybe you want to check if they are a serial cheater! One of these sites is Woman Savers, which is a forum for women to "dish the dirt" on cheating men and inform whole world about them (photos included).

If all of this is so, and we generally have a number of partners throughout our lives, doesn't this mean that at some point we have a cheater on our hands? And if we have one, do we know it? Or do we turn a blind eye?

Reflecting on the people in my own life, I realize that a great many of them or their partners have cheated in one relationship or another. Some are serial cheaters, but many have only done it once. No one is really immune!

Knowing what to look for - beyond just the classic lipstick on the collar sign - will help you be more aware. So have a look through these 46 clues.

A word of caution with stuff like this...

You might panic thinking, "Number 3 sounds familiar. So do 6 & 10. And 14, 19, 25, & 40 too!"

But before you march off to declare your loved one an adulterer, wait a minute.
Relax!
Ask yourself... could there be another explanation? Sometimes there is. It's tricky, but remember that doing something rash could end-up hurting your relationship for no reason. People generally don't take well to being accused of cheating, especially when they're not.

This doesn't mean you should let your guard down.
Just pay attention.

A particularly good piece of advice from the list is to observe how your partners' friends and coworkers behave towards you. You can even extend this to relatives too. There's a good chance that if your partner has stopped confiding in you, then s/he is talking to someone else. And while your beloved may be good at lying to you, others may have trouble doing so. But again, this can be tricky...and you must use a great deal of tact. Otherwise you risk damaging your rapport with these people if they sense you don't trust your partner and are just hunting-down info.

If you haven't yet reached the point of suspicion, then take action!
You can do something to limit the chances your partner might wander.

Whether you've been together for ten weeks or ten years...don't forget that relationships always need some revamping to stay fresh. No matter how tired or busy you feel, putting extra effort into your relationship now (before an affair starts) will save you heartache down the road.

Don't let things fizzle out.
Put some time into revitalizing your bond today.

Wishing you luck in love...

Online dating for beginners
We all know that meeting that special someone at the local bar, the gym or through friends can take a lot of time and often a lot of luck. If hanging around bars or clubs in the hope of stumbling into your next lifelong partner does not appeal to you then perhaps you should consider what online dating has to offer. When online dating first took-off in the mid-nineties, it offered something that was entirely new and unique. It empowered people by giving them a way to find and communicate instantly with thousands of other people from other parts of the world and from all walks of life.

It has come a long way since that time. The number of people now using dating services is huge and growing every day. According to a recent report by Comscore, about 30-million Americans and about 37-million Europeans were actively using dating sites as of July 2006. Many of the leading sites claim well over 10-million members. Just put that into perspective for a moment. Ten million is roughly comparable to the number of people living in a major international city such as London or New York. In other words, you can think of each of these dating sites as very large cyber-cities.

Of course, as well as the mega sites, there are also plenty of smaller-scale dating sites, the equivalent to cyber-towns, as well as lots of smaller special interest sites that offer services for people who share something in common. Where you go, and what you do is entirely up to you, and really depends on what you are looking for. But needless to say, there's something for just about everyone. It's generally best to decide what you want before signing-up, so that you choose the service that's right for you. If you're prepared to travel, that gives you more options and means you have more choice about which sites you use. You should also consider the type of relationship you are looking for. Would you prefer an open forum where you contact other people, or would you prefer to be paired up with someone?

So what's on offer? Here's a brief overview.

Popular dating services offer an open forum, where you can browse picture profiles of thousands of other members. Most services offer the ability to search for people by location, by personal characteristics, by interest and hobbies, among many other things. The most popular sites include Match.com, Yahoo Personals, and FriendFinder, but there are many others that are well worth a look. Most sites offer a free trial, but generally you need to become a paying member if you want to contact somebody.

Matchmaking services offer additional features such as profiling and compatibility testing to help you find your ideal partner. Some sites, such as eHarmony will even do the matchmaking for you suggesting which people are most suited to you. For those who are security conscious, True.com and Honestyfirst.com screen all potential members to ensure they are not married, or criminals. They claim to have prevented many undesirables from slipping through by doing such checks.

Free dating services are popping up more and more these days. They usually make ends meet by showing ads on their sites. So if adverts don't bother you, why not check out one of the free sites, such as PlentyOfFish.com, or Amoureux.com.

Special interest sites bring people together with something in common such as being a single parent, religious beliefs, age, or a certain hobby.

Adult dating is for those who are looking for something short-term and casual, without commitment.

Here are some dos and don'ts

When using dating services, having realistic expectations is important. People often become dissatisfied when they have unrealistic expectations about the people they are going to meet. The result is that women often complain that they are approached by men who they see as losers, while the men complain that they write to women who never reply.

Men should avoid the shotgun approach of cutting and pasting carbon copy letters to dozens of women. You're unlikely to get many replies doing this. Instead, personalize the letter, and only write to those women you are genuinely interested in. Nobody is flattered by a scripted, impersonal letter.

For women, there's nothing wrong with making the first approach. If you are looking for something specific, you should put this into your profile. If you don't get the responses you expect, ask the help of a friend to revise your profile. Try to reply to genuine letters, even if it is just a polite "no thanks". At least the man knows, and is not left waiting in hope.

Do: Have realistic expectations about your potential partner.
Do: Follow the guidelines on the dating websites when meeting someone.
Do: Set up a temporary email account for your registration.
Do: Aim to meet quickly if you like the person.
Do: Read the guidelines on the site to see what is permitted and what is appropriate.

Don't: Post anything too confidential in your profile.
Don't: Give out too much information until you know the person.

Online Dating Safety Tips
Thursday
Online Dating Safety Tips

Online dating can lead to wonderful relationships, romance and adventure. Only very occasionally will you ever hear about something going wrong. By employing a few basic guidelines you can make sure you play safely.

Go Slow
Take things slowly to start and build trust. Take one step at a time. Begin by exchanging emails, swap recent photos, and chat via Instant Messenger. Listen to your intuition and if you feel uncomfortable then stop. (See Once you click with someone).

Stay anonymous at the beginning
As you build trust, you can reveal more about yourself. At first be sure not to reveal your full name, where you live or other contact information at this early stage.

Guard your email
Since a great number of relationships start with exchanging emails; be careful to ensure your email information is private. Your email can reveal more about you than just your email address. For example you may have a digital signature, or your full name. Make sure these are not revealed. If you're not sure what sending an email will reveal about your personal details, send a test message to yourself. If you are in doubt about what your email will reveal to someone about yourself, then send yourself a test message.

Remember to set up an email account especially for your online dating correspondence. Don't use your real name in your email address.

For Outlook Express 6 users, on the top menu, select Tools, then Accounts... Click on the "Mail" tab, and select the email account you wish to use. Next, click on the button "Properties". Under "User Information" replace your real name with a nickname, and remove any reference to your "Organization".

Ask for a photo
Some say looks are important, others personality! Either way, request a photo from your potential date. It's a good way to check who you are talking has described themselves fairly well! If someone keeps putting off sending a photo, then this should be a warning signal. Of course, there's nothing like actually meeting, so you may not really be sure until then. Don't forget to ask for more than one photo, and remember to ask when the photo was taken.

Use the telephone
Only give out your phone number when you feel comfortable. You probably have already exchanged emails and chatted via instant messenger. Chatting by phone will give you both a chance to get to know each other better and is a good way to assess your potential date's social skills.

Use a cell phone if you have one or a pay phone in preference to your home number. If you must use you home number then you should consider suppressing Caller ID on that line. The flip side would be to use a service like Privacy Manager that intercepts numbers without Caller ID. Both features are useful ways to protect yourself and your privacy.

Where to Meet
Arrange to meet somewhere public where there's a lot of people. Make sure you know you're route home so you don't miss the last train or bus, and keep a number to call for a taxi incase you're late or there's been a change of plan.

Bring a friend
You may like to bring a friend with you on your first date, and plan for them to leave early if things are going well. You could also arrange to meet them after your date as an additional precaution, or at least to ring them on your way home. Do also remember to take your cell phone if you have one.

Tell a friend
If you can't bring a friend, always tell someone where, when and with whom you are meeting. If travelling leave your hotel address and phone with them. Call them if possible, after your date.

Traveling long distance
If you are traveling some way to meet someone for the first time, don't agree to stay at their place. Instead arrange a hotel and if your budget allows, rent a car. This way if your date isn't suating, safety tips, online dating safety, internet dating, ccessful you have a place of your own to go. Avoid meeting at the airport or revealing your hotel.

How to write an online dating profile
Make sure you stand out from the crowd!

Take your time
Take your time writing your profile. Make notes about your personality, and jot down your positive attributes, interests, likes, dislikes, before you start to write something out properly.

Choosing a username
Your username is the first thing people see about you, so if you're stuck for choosing a username, think about your interests, where you live or who you are. If you like cycling, try keencyclist. If that's taken then you could add your location, NYCkeencyclist, or maybe keen-cyclist, keencyclist2005, etc.

Photo Personals
Include a recent photo of yourself. Personal ads accompanied by a photo, will attract more than five times the number of replies!

Avoid acronyms and abbreviations
Acronyms and abbreviations are OK in newspaper ads where line space is at a premium. Online, however, you're not restricted. So avoid things like GSOH, SWF, DWM, etc. Why confuse people? If you do have a GSOH (good sense of humour) it would be better to show that in your profile.

Catch line
That all important catch line can be tricky to write. If you are having a problem coming up with a something why not take a clue from music, poetry or literature? A lyric snippet may express just what you want. But do also check out other member's profiles as well, and see what they use for catch lines.

Update Profile Regularly
Keep your profile up to date. Keep changing it a little. Many sites will state when your profile was last updated and allow members to search those by most recently updated. Other members will be more likely to look at your profile.

Check your spelling
Do check spelling before you post your profile! If you see any spelling mistakes on this site you can always email us here!

Avoid negativity
Cannot be said enough! Emphasize the positive things about yourself in your profile.

Be honest
There's little point in writing about the person you'd like to be. Sooner or later, your potential partner will figure out there's something wrong.

Men and Women
For Men: Avoid stating what type of person you want. Instead describe the kind of person you are, and let those reading your profile decide if they're compatible.

For Women: It's ok to state the type of person you want to meet, because there are more men searching for women! Having said that, remember your chances of meeting someone wonderful increase if your criteria are not too restrictive!

For Both: Don't have a list of characteristics that your potential partner must have, rather have a list of those that they should not have. Selection this way round will increase the number of potential partners but without the red flags!

Online dating dos and don'ts
Find Mr. Right online Ready to join the estimated 40 million Americans who are giving the online match game a whirl? If so, you'll need to give your profile some pop to stand out from the pack. More important, you'll have a real shot at finding a click-worthy guy you really, well, click with. Get started with these dating profile dos and don'ts:

go into online dating cold. Before you start entering your sassy stats, do a search as if you were looking for "you" and see what comes up. Read other gals' profiles to see your competition, get some clever ideas, and take note of the things that scream turnoff.

make your user name unique. "It doesn't have to be brilliant, but it should signify some expressive detail about what makes you you," suggests Gail Laguna, online dating expert and spokesperson for Spark Networks, which operates several niche online dating sites. Some of her examples: TennisTime, Luv2cook, SalsaDancer. Much more intriguing than Sexylady123, isn't is?

go overboard with the seductive poses or bawdy talk. Overly suggestive pics or innuendo may attract the wrong type of person, warns Stephany Alexander author of the book "Sex, Lies & the Internet: An Online Dating Survival Guide." Remember, there's a fine line between flirty and trashy -- don't cross it.

be positive. "There are few of us who enter the dating scene who don't have some emotional baggage," says Nancy Michaels, founder of MatchGoneWrong.com, a dating site for women over 40. Still, she says, try not to emphasize phrases such as "no games" or "no drama." Instead, specify what you are looking for, such as "a great guy who shares my love of jazz music."

be intimidating. Often Mr. Right just needs a little nudge in the right direction to get the courage to contact you, says Laguna. Be sure to include an invitation to contact you in your profile to come off as approachable and warm.

Cyberflirt: 6 Do's and Don'ts of Email Courtship

The art of making a good first impression on a man has changed considerably with the advent of online dating. Using this medium, it's not necessary to check if there's lipstick on your teeth but rather if there are typos in your profile. And how can you tell if the guy who sounds so great on "paper" is the real thing? Most importantly, once you and a cyberbeau initially - pardon the pun - click, how can you gracefully move it offline? Here are the do's and don'ts of email courtship:

  1. May I Have This Dance? Feel free to initiate contact with a potential Mr. Wonderful. As in real life, male online daters commonly make the first move, so a note from an attractive woman like you will be the highlight of his day. Keep it short but include something that shows you relate to particulars in his ad: "I was drawn to your love of swing dancing." He wants to feel singled out, not receive a cookie-cutter response that could be sent to every man on the site.

  2. Capital Offenses. Your mom likely told you it's rude to shout, but she didn't forewarn you that USING CAPS IN YOUR EMAILS is the same as yelling. The woman who gave you life probably also neglected to advise you to beware of men who communicate via "winks" (an option to contact another member to convey interest, without writing a message - or paying), one-word responses and "collect calls." The former two are lazy with a side order of obnoxiousness; the latter expects you to pay for the privilege of receiving his email.

    Online dater Sharon Hodgson has her list of top tacky transgressions. "Obviously looks are important and you should expect the other person will want a photo. But when the first thing a respondent asks is, 'Do you have a picture?' - often when he hasn't posted one! - my radar is up." Hodgson also cites emoticon offenders. The University of Maryland social worker sniffs, "I can't take anyone seriously who is constantly doing LOL or smiley-facing or even writing shorthand. People shouldn't be so casual in emails."

  3. Just Say No. Women typically get swamped in emails, so they let slide the ones from men that don't interest them. While not a cardinal offense, it's a little cruel to keep him hanging. Send an acknowledgment along the lines of, "I'm complimented that such a great guy wants to know me a little better. Unfortunately I don't see us as compatible. But thank you so much for writing and best of luck."

  4. Honesty Lite. Emily Calvo explains, "I am not advocating lying. It's important to tell the truth." The author of 25 Words or Less: How to Write Like a Pro to Meet That Special Someone through Personal Ads quickly adds, "However, don't tell too much too soon. A little mystery is better than a lengthy soap opera detailing all that analysis has taught you." Give the essentials with a positive spin. For example, it's important for him to know you're a single mother. But don't complain about your stresses. Instead, share that while you love your kids, it's time for you to develop a personal life.

    At this early stage it's also important to share information that might quickly uncover a major incompatibility. Say he's allergic to animals and you have two kittens. Or you're a vegetarian and he's a butcher with a rib roast fixation. And he'll realize you're a night owl if the timestamps on your emails are 2am rather than 8pm. Better to suss out potential roadblocks sooner than later.

  5. From Computer to Coffeehouse. Resist the temptation to get caught up in an online love affair where each of you writes increasingly lengthy and intimate life histories. It's impossible to discover whether you're suited until you're sharing oxygen. How many emails should it take before you get together? National dating coach Patti Feinstein says, "Emailing back and forth for a month never works. Once a mutual agreement is made that there is interest, it's best to meet in a public place as soon as possible."

    Online dater Sherry Alpert attempts to set up a phone call and/or a date after two or three reciprocated emails. "The ones who won't do it I call 'toe in the water' guys. I've noted to them that prolonged emails are a waste of time." Her firmness usually eliminates the vague "let's get together sometime" emails. If the man refuses to be pinned down for a meeting without a valid excuse (ie, an out-of-town trip is on the horizon), she's soon outta there.

  6. Post-Date Email. Scenario 1: If you like the guy and don't hear from him within a few days, it's fine to shoot off a quick email: "Thanks for the drink and the fun company. I really enjoyed meeting you." He'll either contact you for a date or not. If it's "or not," cut your losses and move on. Scenario 2: You don't like the guy and he keeps bugging you for a return engagement. Just send a quick note: "While I truly enjoyed meeting you, I just didn't feel we were compatible enough to pursue a relationship. But I wish you all the best."

Online Dating Dos and Don'ts

Dating etiquette has always been confusing -- and now online dating has only made matters more complicated. Andrea Lavinthal, who wrote "The Hookup Handbook: A Single Girl's Guide to Living It Up" with Jessica Rolzer, shared these tips on "Good Morning America" to guide you through the modern mores of online and offline dating:

Before the date:

Do exchange photos. It's like ordering a flower arrangement over the phone -- you want to know what it will look like.

Don't post a photo from your hot days in college. Choose a flattering picture, but don't advertise goods you can't deliver!

During the first date:

Do provide details about yourself. Share just enough information about yourself that your date will be itching to learn more.

Don't go overboard in revealing personal information about yourself. On the first meeting, no one needs to know the names of your childhood pets or that you take antidepressants.

Do stick to positive and relatable topics in your conversation. Discuss work, movies, etc.
Don't try something that you might not be able to pull off. If you attempt to fake a skill, you'll crash and burn.

Do show off a special talent. Great at bowling? Go for it -- as long as you come off confident and fun.

If things don't work out and you want to end the relationship:

Don't pull a disappearing act. Guys, if you appear to have fallen off the face of the Earth, girls will picture you lying in a ditch somewhere, cell phone in hand, trying desperately to call. So it's best to come clean!

Do bow out gracefully. Avoid doing the slow fade.

Don't break up over e-mail -- even if you met that way.

Do break up in person.

The Dos and Don'ts of Online Dating

These days, going online is as common a way to meet someone as a blind date or the bar scene, and you can connect to people of all ages, religions, professions and backgrounds from all over the globe. Online dating can be a great tool for broadening your options as long as you are smart, are cautious and take some very important safety steps.

Creating Your Online Dating Profile

Questions to ask yourself before you write your profile:

  • What is special, unique, distinctive, or impressive about you or your life story?
  • What details of your life, personal or family challenges, history, people or events have shaped you or influenced your life goals?
  • What have you learned about past relationships, in terms of yourself?
  • What are your relationship goals?
  • Have you had to overcome any unusual obstacles or hardships (for example, economic, familial or physical) in your life?
  • What personal characteristics (for example, integrity, compassion, persistence) do you possess, and how can you demonstrate that you have these characteristics?
  • Why might you be a stronger candidate than others?
  • What is the single most compelling reason you can give a person to be interested in you?

Jim Safka, CEO of Match.com offers these tips:

  • Do include a photo. People who've uploaded a photo get 15 times more attention than people who don't have a photo.
  • Make sure you smile in your photos. That sexy face you're making? It may come across to some people like your scary face.
  • Don't hide your face behind a pair of sunglasses or a hat. Potential love interests will want to be able to see your beautiful face.
  • Don't show too much skin. Nobody wants to see you pose seductively in your kitchen in your tighty whities.
  • Do make your headline a grabber. Think of all the great advertising slogans you've ever heard. They're imprinted in people's minds. You want to do the same thing with your profile.
  • Consult your friends and family for help in writing your online profile. There are things that they love about you that you might not otherwise think about for yourself.
  • Don't use cliches. You may love long walks on the beach, but who doesn't? Say something interesting about yourself that is unique to you.
  • Don't forget to run spell-check. If you have misspelled words in your profile, it tells the world that you just don't care about what you're doing.
  • Do respond to every e-mail that you get. If you were walking down the street and someone said hello, you'd probably say hello back. It's the same protocol online. Respond, even if the answer is a simple, "No, thanks."
  • Keep it light. Your first e-mail should not be a rant about how expensive gas prices are. Keep it lighthearted in tone and keep it simple.
  • Don't reveal confidential information in your e-mail exchanges. If you were at a local coffee house, you wouldn't give out your home address to just anyone standing in line.
  • Don't meet in person until you've actually talked on the phone. You know voice and sound are great way to judge chemistry.

Cyber Safety

  • Verify information on a potential match as thoroughly as possible.
  • Always create a separate e-mail account for your online dating activity.
  • Get a post office box, rather than using your home address, to register for the dating site. (Do this for all sites where an address is required.)
  • List your cell phone number, not your home number, if the site requires one.
  • Change your cell phone billing address so it goes to your post office box. That way, if some nut has access to a backward phone book (one with phone numbers in numerical order and their corresponding addresses) he can't look up your address.
  • When chatting or e-mailing, never give more than a first name, and keep it that way until the first date.
  • Install a privacy checker on your computer. This lets you set privacy standards and be alerted when a dating site doesn't meet them. These checkers are often free and can be downloaded online.

Following the holiday season when everyone has celebrated a little too much, viewers will see how to change their body image with Carson Kressley, learn how to find a date with Matt Titus and witness how to throw an extravagant party with Brian Dobbin."

"It's My Party" follows elite party planners who throw extravagant, excessive parties and events for extremely wealthy clients.

Mark Farrell, Mark Efman and Sara Chazen Leand serve as executive producers. The show is produced by MarkMark Productions for Lifetime Television.

He also appeared on E! as a celebrity relationship commentator in "To Love and Cry in L.A." and guest-starred on the Style Network's "Relationship Rehab." Among others publications, Titus has been featured in Men's Health, Time Out and Life & Style as the publication's "Love Doctor." Titus speaks monthly at the Learning Annex, teaching singles the secrets to successful dating. His new book, Why Hasn't He Called?, is being released in February 2008. He also answers questions daily on his website SassyBean.com, where he spills the beans on life, love and relationships. Titus lives in Manhattan with his fiancee, Tamsen Fadal, and their two Chihuahuas, Matsen and Parker.

Based on the format of the U.K.'s Channel 4 series and hosted by Carson Kressley ("Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"), "How To Look Good Naked" teaches women of all shapes and sizes how to go from self loathing to self loving without resorting to interventions like extreme dieting or cosmetic surgery.

When's A Guy Ready For Marriage?
Saturday
Have you ever thought, "My boyfriend and I make a great couple. He says he's happy. So, why hasn't he proposed?"
Well, rest assured, you're not alone.
The question may simply boil down to whether or not he's ready.
How can you tell?
On The Early Show Tuesday, Cosmopolitan magazine (www.cosmopolitan.com) Editor in Chief Kate White told substitute co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez guys "have to be in the marriage mindset. We asked a top expert, who said the equation is really 49 percent the right girl and 51 percent their being ready, and if they're not ready, they're not gonna do it. In fact, often a guy, once he's in the mindset, he's more apt to meet the right girl then. It's really a driving force with men."
White says there are five things women can look for to tell if a guy is ready to take the plunge:
He has to be capable of love:
"There's falling in love," White explained. "That's that giddy feeling, and then there's loving. Loving means he's gotta be ready to connect with you and connect with you through the infatuation phase. If he's not, he's not willing to put you first and make little sacrifices. That's a sign he's not there yet."
Rodriguez said that's "also an argument for not getting hitched right away when you're just falling in love."
He's able to accept imperfections:
"Sometimes, if they're not ready, their expectations are too high," White observed. "Not only will a guy not accept your flaws, but he may even look for flaws and blow them out of proportion in order to put distance there. So, if a guy's too critical, that's often a sign he isn't ready."
"In many cases," Rodriguez added, "that's more about him than you. You shouldn't take that personally."
"You can't," White agreed.
He has to believe in commitment:
"There are always going to be negative aspects in a relationship," White noted. "And, someone who's ready to commit is gonna understand that you've gotta work those through and do the work. And he's not gonna shut down when there's trouble. He's gonna be willing, even as much as guys hate to discuss relationships, he's gonna be winning to talk it through with you."
He's positive he can be the man. He wants to be the provider:
"Guys need to get their ducks in a row when it's time to commit, much more-so than women," White said. "He may feel, 'I've got to be at a certain point in my career.' Almost half of all men want to be able to buy a house before they get married. So, if those factors aren't lined up for him, he's not gonna be able to focus and he's gonna be resistant, where women often can get beyond that sort of stuff."
Does White think it's worth sticking it out if your guy is on that path?
"If you really sense he's into you," she replied, "then I think it's really worth it to ride out … where he is, and help him get to that point, whether it's a career point or it's a money point."
He's tired of playing around:
"They do end up," White commented, "with what you might call 'fling fatigue.' Often, that's when they start to see their guy friends fall by the wayside and get married. Most men, most mature people do end up at a point where they don't want to play the field anymore. They're just tired of it. It loses its enchantment."
"And maybe they might wind up proposing to whoever they happen to be with at that time," Rodriguez said, "which is so frustrating for the girlfriend before!"
"Sometimes," White concurred, "you're the one who's in the right place at the wrong time with him, and the other girl's wondering. 'What did I do wrong?' "
On occasion, White said, it's OK to give the guy an ultimatum.
"Sometimes," she explained, "it's superficial stuff. And so -- it might be because the timing's not exactly right for him. Or it could be that he's stuck on some minor problem with you. Or he's a chronic procrastinator. And in those cases, an ultimatum, not a threat, but something that makes it about you (is alright, such as), 'Look, I'm ready to go to the next level. The next stage. I want to go with you.' And perhaps you give him two months to say that you need to know by then."
And, if there's still no proposal at that pint?
Then, White said, you have to "put your money where your mouth is."

Meeting Internet Women & More
she really gets to know me. What should I do?Just e-mail her and say: “OK, why don't we hook up in Vegas and get married? This way we'll know each other well enough for you to want to meet me. Or, we could just get together in a public place in the middle of the day, in broad daylight, with a hundred people around, and we can talk over a cup of tea.”I personally like the Vegas idea or something equally funny. Then get her phone number and call her up. This has a soothing effect in these types of situations.Make sure that when you talk to her you say things like, "Let's meet for a cup of tea for 20 minutes... this way if you're really freaky I can escape with minimal time wasted."This approach is funny, and puts the idea in her head that YOU'RE the one who's picky and selective.

What if I’m a guy looking for a serious relationship?Well, as much as I avoid "relationship" questions, I just have to comment on this one.First of all, I believe that MOST guys would prefer to be in a relationship with a great woman than to be single. The problem is that amazing women are as rare as amazing men.If you REALLY want to get a woman attached to you, then you might want to try a paradoxical move and stop looking for a relationship. If you communicate that you want a relationship, a woman’s natural response is to play Hard To Get.If YOU play Hard To Get and HOLD OFF on showing your interest in a "relationship," you'll find that the woman will pursue the relationship with YOU.Think about it.

What advice do you have about making eye contact with a woman?Eye contact is VERY powerful.If you make eye contact with a woman, I recommend that you keep it until SHE looks away. By the way, this is a great exercise. Just go out and make eye contact with as many women as you can and keep it until they look away.Just remember not to look away because you're nervous or afraid. Women can detect weakness very quickly, and they’ll turn off like a light switch when they do.If you want to "check women out," just make sure you don't look like a loser that has no life. And don’t look like you’re planning to use the mental images that you're taking for future solo fantasy role play.Don't look desperate.What to do when women say “Why don’t you give me your number?”
