Guide to Dating

ahmm... just be yourself.. LOL!! i dunno. i'm a single myself but never been thru a date before.date like a candle lit dinner with flowers and all. that's a date for me if you'll ask.. now a days courtship happens thru chatting, on line, emails, texting.. if ever ill be caught up in the middle of a real date, aww.. i really dont know myself what to do..

I see some of my friends that are single, because of divorce, and I am so thankful that I do not have to date. It would give me a tummy ache. They just seem so lonely and sometimes a bit too desperate. I think that if something happened to my husband I would seriously consider staying single.

To be honest I gave up dating last year and I've kind of given up thinking there is a right person for me out there. I have tried dating through papers, on the internet which is incredibly popular nowadays and my days of clubbing are well over. I am very happy being single but for those that want a partner then the internet is a good place to start, don't knock it, there are literally hundreds of dating sites now, sprung up all over the world and there have been a lot of successful stories. But like anything, becareful and always meet someone in neutral territory and always tell someone who you are meeting and when. In today's society you have to be even more vigilant and safeguard yourself. For me my dating day are well and truly over but I wish everyone else every success!

hehe, shall we first date online, then offline?

Yes, I didn't get married until I was 39 so I dated for quite a few years. It is nice to have someone there who you feel comfortable with and can just relax. I don't think I have the energy for dating anymore. My only dating advice would be to go out with someone you can laugh with and makes you feel comfortable.

I dont have any guidelines in terms of dating.. All you've got to do is be yourself.. Show him or her the real you.. It's the only best advice I could give.

Your opinion is very importent.

Don't pretend to be someone that you're not. That always turns me off. Remember, this date of yours is a potential partner for the rest of your life, so he/she might as well get to know the real you. I especially hate social climbers. Trying too hard usually leads to disastrous results. Relax so that your sense of humor will come out. Everybody loves that.

Learn to love yourself. Before you can like, love anybody else, or give them the kind of passion in a relationship that they may need to start it up and keep it going, you have to know what YOU want out of a relationship, what YOU are willing to sacrifice and what you are not. You have to accept yourself for who you are without trying to be a perfectionist, as no one is perfect. And once you finally accept yourself, turning to someone else to accept and let into your life becomes much easier. As you are searching for someone that fits your wants and needs, instead of trying to randomly go after every man/woman out there. :)

Just be yourself and......try to pretend you don't care too much for her. Because if you do she will think that it's ok to use you or even abuse you. So just act cool about going out with her.
