Dating Advice & Tips

Dating Body Language - The Language Of Love

Should I Buy A Girl A Drink?

Should you a girl a drink? Well, this depends on the situation, but as a first chat up line I would say no.

If you nervously go up and ask girls if they want drinks all night, you are going to waste a lot of money.

Many girls will talk to you for a while if you are funding their night out. Some girls will take the offered drink and just walk off. If you spend all night buying them drinks, are they into you or your money.

If you are going to buy a girl a drink, it should not be the first thing you ask her. Talking to her for a little bit will give you an idea of whether it is worth your time getting her a drink and whether you really want to talk to her anyway.

If you are getting desperate, you called always try this.

If the best opening line you have is buying girls a drink, then you need to work harder on your dating skills. There is a gamble buying someone a drink, but it is best to start off a conversation first so you know what you are betting on.

Dating Conversation Topics Not To Ask About Early On

When you are first getting to know someone, risky topics are PAST RELATIONSHIPS, religion, politics (they might fall asleep ;) and sex.

These topics can lead to the wrong kind of heated discussions and are sometimes best to avoid, depending on how well things are going.

People who constantly bring up a past relationships are probably the biggest problem here. Your new potential partner really doesn't want to hear about your past failures, even if it wasn't your fault.

Dating Conversation Starters And Tips

Have you ever been on a date, or just met someone and been totally stuck for a subject to talk about. It helps to have some backup plans in place, some tried and true subjects that you can fall back on if you are struggling for a conversation. Here is a list of dating conversation starters.

Talking about the other person is generally a good idea. Discussing yourself and how awesome you are all the time might mean you end up talking to yourself.

Try remember the answers they give about topics you discuss. If things develop further you might be able earn bonus points by remembering and or using things they like to surprise them.

Remember that they will often ask you the same question.

• Current News Events

  Having an idea of what is going on in the world makes you seem up to date and can provide a wealth of topics to discuss and find more out about each other.

• Weekends Or Public Holidays

  Asking about what someone did on the weekends or public holidays gives you an insight into what they like to do with their spare time.

• Travelling

  This also gives you an idea if they are likely to run off somewhere ;)

• Hobbies, Sports

  People generally like talking about themselves and especially their interests.

• Food, Restaurants And Drinks

  Be careful discussing alcohol. You might come across as an alcoholic. Depending on who you are talking to, this may be a turn off.

• Music And Arts

  Most people like listening to music. You may be able to reach some common ground here. Perhaps they play and instrument or have some artistic streak.

• Compliment Or Ask About Clothing

  Note that this one can get you into trouble with women if not handled properly ;)

• Ask About Surroundings

  If you are at their house, then perhaps there is an object that interests you. If you are out and about, you might see something that makes a good conversation piece.

• Work

  Finding out what someone does for a living can be good. Talking about your work all night with a colleague may grow thin... especially if non work related people are present.

• Pets

  This is one where talking about your own pet might be a very good idea.

• Motorbikes

  Guys with motorbikes often claim that this is a gold mine for getting girls interested in coming for a ride.

• Where Were You Born, Go To School

• Star Sign

  Generally women seem to be more interested in asking this one.

• What Did You Do Today

• Childhood Memories

Tips On How To Write A Successful Online Dating Profile

• Pictures Are Worth A 1000 Words

  If you don't have a picture in your dating profile, chances are you are going to be ignored. Spend some time trying to find a nice picture of yourself. If you ever want to meet someone from your online dating experience, it should actually be a real picture of you. The photo should look realistic. There are so many fake profiles out there, that people may skip over yours if they don't believe the photo is actually you.

• Write Something Resembling English

  Looking at the online profiles of many dating sites is enough to make you wonder what went wrong with the world's schooling. Unless you want to look like a 10 year old, try to using the rules of the language. If you can't spell, use a spell checker. WrItInG LiKe ThIs Is NoT CoOl, BuT MaYbe ThAT iS jUsT Me. LOL. Neither iz riting lik this.LolZ.

• Your Title Needs To Grab Attention

  Along with your photo, the title is normally the other thing people see before deciding to click on your profile. Something humourous and unique is a good idea here. It is worth spending some extra time thinking of something good for your title.

• Write Something Catchy And Interesting

  Boring need not apply. Writing that you like to have fun, hang out with friends and many other lame totally obvious things shows your lack of creativity and puts your profile with 90% of the other profiles. Most sane people like to have fun... be more specific and let people know what things you enjoy doing and perhaps the kind of places you enjoy going to. A dating profile is like a CV, if you don't catch them from the start, your profile is likely to be discared to the recycle bin very quickly.

• Be Positive And Don't Bring Yourself Down

  A dating profile should show your best side. Don't write about things that are negative and put yourself down.

• Be Honest

  Your dating profile should somewhat resemble reality. There is no point sucking someone into falling in love with some figment of your imagination if you are looking for someone to love the real you.

• Review Your Profile

  After your first draft, perhaps wait a while and come back and read it again. Subconcious thought can often come up with great ideas. When you come back and read your dating profile again in a different light, you may find some improvements... or that what you wrote sounds horrible on second inspection.

  Remember, don't write, "I like to have fun", but have fun writing your online dating profile. Did that make you cringe... it was terrible. See if you can write something uncringeworthy on your dating profile.

How To Get Out Of A Really Bad Date?

Ever been on one of those really bad dates where you would just about do anything to get out of there... but you don't want to seem rude. Here is an idea for escaping bad dates.

Supposedly, the creator of mobilealibi.com came up with the idea during his own bad date. The idea being that you get a phone call from someone and then you can make some excuse. You can order this service from the internet or from your phone.

There are some configuration options, like phone numbers and the voice that will be your partner in dating evasion.

I'm not sure where this falls in the karma ratings, but it might make some people feel better about getting away from that bad date.

You've Got Them - Don't Lose Them Being An Idiot

Are you dating a hot member of the other sex and can't believe your luck? If you are looking at these pages of wisdom, perhaps not, but remember this one once you take the advice and are with that supermodel ;)

If you dating someone who is always being hit on, it can be very hard not to get jealous. Very, very hard. Whilst you may not be able to stop yourself getting angry because they are getting looks, phone numbers or whatever it happens to be... make sure not to take it out on your partner.

They are probabaly used to it anyway and not everyone likes getting fawned over either. Remember, it is (probably ;) not their fault that these people are infatuated with them. Your partner chose you, so try not to make them wish they didn't by acting like a jerk and giving them trouble for something they didn't initiate. Take that jealousy and try to remember that you are the lucky one who has them and they don't.

When Saying Hello Isn't Enough For A Date

One of the best "pickup" lines is saying, "Hello". Generally if the person is interested in you, then this will allow a conversation to start and the rest to follow.

Other times, you may have to be more persuasive. Not, this should not be anything sinister. If a person shows an obvious distaste for you, it is best to move on.

If the person is just bored and flicking people off whilst barely looking, perhaps there is a chance. She may already have a partner, not be in the mood or whatever. Depending on the reason, you may be able to turn her around or shake her out of it with a witty comment or whatever.

A bit of preparation can help with your subsequent conversation. If you are making the approach, look around for things you can comment on. Note, we are talking witty, not weak pickup lines.

Just don't take it to far and know when to move on.

Know What You Are Doing In The Bedroom

If you are dating someone and it gets to the bedroom, it pays to know some tricks.

There is plenty of sex advice freely available on the internet. Look around and see if there are some sex tips that you don't already know.

Other good sources of sexual tips are both male and female magazines. Both sexes can read both types to get some a perspective from both sides.

Being able to give a sensual massage is often well received.

Know your positions, what goes where and how to find those special spots. Being great in bed makes it enjoyable for both parties and gives points if you ask for another date.

Having confidence in your sexual skills can also give you more confidence when conversing with the opposite sex.

Enjoy your sex and always make sure it is safe sex!

Dating Advice - Don't Neglect Your Friends

When caught up in a relationship, some people forget about other people in their life. Try to make sure this doesn't happen to you. In the exciting initial stages of a relationship, this is most likely to happen, but try not to let it drag on too long.

Make sure you see your friends and let your partner see hers. Sometimes a little time apart can make you appreciate each other even more.

Your friends are also going to be the people you turn to if your relationship breaks down. Your friends are often in your life longer than many relationships will be. If you ignore you friends, you may find they are not there when you need them.

Best Way To Get A Date

The best way to get a date is to ask for one.

Sure, there ways to make your success rate higher, but consider that the more times you get the courage up and ask someone out on a date, the more likely you are to get one.

Obviously you should not be hitting on everything in sight, but if you see someone that you like go up and say hello. See if you can talk to them for a while and if you are getting along, tell them you enjoyed the conversation and would that you would enjoy their company again. You don't necessarily have to set a time and place right then. If you get a phone number, you can set up a date at some later point.

The more times you ask people out on dates, the more confident and at ease you will become on your next attempt. Analyse successful and unsuccessful attempts to get a date and refine your process.

If someone is enjoying your company and they are not attached, it is pretty likely they are going to say yes if you ask them if they would like to see you some time. Just remember to be graceful when asking for dates. Accept that some people will say no and do not become aggressive or insulting if you are refused a date or phone number.
