[250][251][252][253][254][255][256][257][258] | | 04/11/2006 | Online Dating BasicsBy Ron ZvagelskyWhile you have likely heard the many horror stories of online dating when watching television, it is important to separate fact from fiction.
The advent of the internet has given rise to online dating – a great alternative for those who are either very busy or very shy. Additionally, it is a great tool that can allow you to get to know a person over the internet before meeting them in person. Not only can the internet allow you to rapidly communicate with anyone around the world, it can also be done at a low cost.
There are a lot of people that dislike online dating, but it is important to realize that there are advantages and disadvantages to this technology. One of the biggest disadvantages to online dating is that y... [read more] | | | 04/11/2006 | Computer DatingBy Jonathon HardcastleThe dawn of computers has made life easier for people in a number of ways. We can express our thoughts and ideas better. We can communicate easier with other people wherever in the world they may be. We can even conduct business more efficiently and more quickly. Why, computers have even improved the way we play the dating game.
With the growing popularity of online dating, meeting a member of the opposite sex has never been easier. The days when men and women grappled with the problem of finding a date for Saturday night are long gone. Now all you have to do is to spend a few hours online, maybe even less, and you can find a date instantly.
With online dating, a new world of possibilities has been opened for sin... [read more] | | | 04/11/2006 | Creative & Unique Date IdeasBy Ron ZvagelskyDating shouldn’t be limited to dinner and movie. Society has become accustomed to this pattern, but you shouldn’t have to.
If you want to really impress your date, come up with some unique date ideas. Of course, what you can do on a date is somewhat limited to your geographical area, but no matter where you are there is something fun and new to try.
Have you ever gone geocaching? Geocaching is a type of “treasure hunt” game. You would need to buy or borrow a GPS unit and check out the geocaching website. All you need to do is input the coordinates into your GPS and you are off to find the location. This is a great date idea for a Saturday afternoon. It is fun and will create a sense of bonding as the two of you work to...

In most cases, it is directly connected to dating safety and domestic violence.
It is important to realize that people who are inclined to domestic or dating violence will not show it in the first few dates. There are warning signs you will want to look for, and when you see them, you will want to stop dating the person immediately, no matter how much you're attracted to the person. All of the warning signs can be defined in one word, and this word is "control."
If you are dating someone who gives the impression that they always want to be in control, this may be a bad sign. Those who are violent need to have power over their victims. While dating v...

The thing is that once you are out of the dating scene then getting back is like attending a school reunion and most people prefer to avoid that as well.
That sort of feeling is nothing unique or even abnormal. There are hundreds of singles who are currently facing the same situation and what you have in common with a lot of them is that they all want to get started with online dating.
While online dating has revolutionized the entire dating scene there are still people who hesitate to step on to this virtual platform due to fears or doubts that are not really related to the Internet or online dating services but dating itself.
... [read more] | | | 04/11/2006 | Fun Ideas For Your First DateBy Ron ZvagelskyThe success of your date will be dependent on the activities you have planned for it. If you choose the wrong idea for your first date, it is unlikely that you will get a second chance to improve it. The only time you should not place an emphasis on dating ideas is when you and your partner enjoy each other so much that it doesn’t matter what you do. When many people choose things to do for their date, they will often make the mistake of taking a pragmatic approach. You can make the date interesting by doing something out of the ordinary.
When I refer to “ordinary,” I’am talking about things such as a dinner and a movie, nightclubs, or parties. One good idea for your date is to go to an art gallery. There are a number of ... [read more] | | | 04/11/2006 | Lust, Trust, Bust: The Relationship That WasBy Janet J Reiss
It's happens to so many of us. You meet someone, fall in love, trust them to the hilt, and then in the blink of an eye the relationship ends. Just like that. I call it the "lust, trust, bust" syndrome! It leaves you asking why even bother again?
Think of the relationships you have been in and take a look at how they began, where they were headed, the period of time when all was good, and then the ending. What went wrong?
The Lust: You date someone and you feel the chemistry well up inside. The desire to get to know this person is strong, as well as the desire for intimacy. After awhile, you allow your defenses to step aside and you take the risk of letting this person into your life. You risk your emotional and...

Many people have fears of making a commitment. This is called commitment phobia. Fear of commitments comes in all shapes and sizes, whether it be a job commitment, time commitment or a marriage commitment.
When we speak of commitment phobia among singles, we are referring to folks who avoid commiting to long term relationships such as marriage. People who suffer from committment phobia come in all varieties. Commitment phobes (no, I didn't make this term up!) can be both male and female, Christian and non-Christian, teens, single parents or seniors.
Commitment phobia among singles can occur for several reasons. However, most commitment phobic men and women truly yearn for a deep and intimate relationship leading... [read more] | | | 03/11/2006 | Ending a Relationship:By Janet J Reiss, LCSW
Are you feeling disillusioned with the person who you thought was the love of your life? Are you stuck in a never-ending maze of negative feelings? Are you afraid to leave your relationship? The answers to these questions may point to being in and wanting to leave a bad relationship.
Letting your partner know that you want out is the hardest part once a decision has been made to leave. The fear in facing the truth about your relationship is often what keeps you in a maze of inaction.
RECOGNIZING A BAD RELATIONSHIP: If you had a relationship satisfaction meter where would the needle point? On one side the meter indicates your level of satisfaction, compatibility, joy, happiness, focus and future-planning. ... [read more] | | | 03/11/2006 | The First KissBy Janet J Reiss, LCSW
There are some events in life that we just never forget, although sometimes we wish we could. Those are the memorable events that become forever forged in our psyche, only to come back from the recesses of our mind reminding us that we are human and we are made up of a lifetime of experiences.
As a counselor in a junior high school, dealing with adolescents and first love was always an experience for me. I will never forget the day that one of my young female students knocked at my door, tears welling up in her eyes, lips quivering, fighting back her tears. After a moment of composure she told me that her boyfriend finally kissed her and it was awful. "He drooled on me", she said with utter disgust. "Ugh", sh... [read more] |
