5 Quick Ways to Find Your Next Date
Overwhelmed with family, school, work and volunteer obligations, woman are turning to online dating or speed-dating services to do a little of their homework for them. However, you do not have to anymore. Here are five easy things to look for whether at work, the grocery store, the local coffee shop or bookstore to locate you next date during your spare seconds--minus the fees.
1. Allows women to enter/exit the elevator first.
It may not seem like a big deal to most, but if a man is running late for a meeting yet still takes the time to let a lady on or off the elevator first, he is showing respect and appreciation.
2. Treats the janitor, waiter and cashier with respect.
How a person treats those who may not directly affect their livelihood, can tell you how he will treat you when a possible argument occurs in the future.
3. Offers you the last piece of pie or final copy of a best-selling book.
He is considerate and thoughtful. If you both reach for the item at the same time and he takes the last dessert or book without so much as a pause, he may be selfish.
4. Gives up his seat on the crowded commuter train to an elderly person.
Besides good manners, this man is considerate, protective, attentive and concerned for the well-being of others.
5. Greets/acknowledges those around him (when appropriate).
By acknowledging that others exist, he is respectful of others and not completely self-centered.
Determining if a guy is worth your time is all about his actions ? what he DOES versus what he SAYS. Time is a precious commodity many don't have the luxury of wasting. Why spend the next month dating someone who turns out to be egotistical, selfish and rude? Why pass on a potential date that fails to use the "right words" during your two-minutes at a speed-dating event. If you take the time to look for just five actions, you can "gift" your time to a better man. © Copyright 2005 by Tiffany Green.

Surprise Your Love
Has dating unknowingly become just a habit to you? Becoming not as fun and exciting as before, as when the both of you just started going out together? Well, I am not suggesting that there's any problem in your relationship. In fact this is something very common. Along time, as a couple get to know and understand each other better, they naturally enter into a comfort zone with one another. It's within this comfort zone that they begin to share with one another more of their own personal life, building a mutual trust and a stronger bond in the relationship. However, it's also at this time when all the surprises and excitements somehow get lesser and lesser during their dates. Both have got so comfortable with one another that there's basically not the need for them to impress one another as during their initial dates anymore. Sadly, dating has become more of like a routine and habit to them.

Using the Internet as a Method for Adult Dating
In this day and age, many find it hard to find someone that can share their passion and love with. With so many people experiencing a hard time with relationships and many have gone through failed affairs, a multitude have given up and just moved on. Adult dating seems so awkward to many because they feel they don't have the same vigor and charisma that they used to. They pine for their lost youth and feel a bit of insecurity. That should not be the case though, dating is not exclusive for those who are young, and adults have the right to experience love and passion in their life. This is the fuel that makes life a bit exciting and something that can make us look forward to the new day.

Oh, No, Single Again!
When I separated from husband number three, I was 47 years old and
plenty scared that I would never find a good man to love. I read all those
stories about how a woman over 40 has a better chance of being hit by
lightning than getting married again. It's all nonsense. Your life is
determined by the state of your consciousness.
When you end an unhappy chapter of your life, it means you've got
some soul-searching and spiritual work to do. If you are willing
to do the work required to heal your emotional hurts and resentments,
you can write a new chapter with a very different ending. I went through
a real "Dark Night of the Soul" following my third divorce, but I had such
a big, stubborn ego that the only way I was going to learn the lessons I
needed to learn was to be completely humbled.
Love Discrimination
Why is it people, especially the media, thinks that looking for love on the internet is shameful? The discrimination is particularly evident if you are looking for a foreign bride. I met my wife, Eileen, who is Filipina, on the internet. The narrow-minded nay sayers like labeling this media as "mail order bride" They seem to believe these ladies are enslaved by Western men who are seeking a foreign wife. And if by chance a relationship of this sort does go sour, they use this as all-inclusive evidence that looking for love on the internet is morally wrong.
