Dating 101: Women love free drinks

The secret to success with the opposite sex is confidence. Or in some cases, bare-faced smugness. This is more important than ever when you aren’t blessed with the torso of Brad Pitt and the finances of David Beckham.

They say the opposite sense like a good sense of humour, but more importantly than that, they like a man who is sure of himself. An example of self-confidence that has always worked for this writer is the old ‘free drinks’ approach.

Now traditionally a man saddles alongside a girl at a bar, engages in awful small talk for a few minutes, and then offers to buy her a drink. However this often depends on the girl being by herself in a bar or a club– which they very rarely are.

Instead break the ice immediately by going straight up to a group of ladies and enquiring whether they’d be interested in a round of free drinks. This writer has never met a group of girls that don’t appreciate a free round of vodka and cokes and if you are with mates, they’ll appreciate the ballsiness of your move as well as the sudden presence of female company.

All in one swift move, you have displayed self-confidence, the fact that you are possibly the ‘alpha’ in your group of friends (even though you might not be) and the fact that you aren’t cheap (which even if you are, they are not to know for a while–.).

Once the drinks are bought, conversation follows naturally and before you know it, you are all sat down enjoying the rest of the evening and you have sealed your reputation as a smooth, confident ladies’ man.

A friendly tip: Do not use this on a group of more than four girls. You quickly find your funds for the evening diminish before you can even glance at your garmin running watch again...

Avoid These Mistakes When Internet Dating

The Internet offers many single persons great opportunity because from the comfort of your own home you may meet people from all over the world. Internet dating sites are now very popular, and there is a match for everybody out there if you listen to what many of they promise users. However, you must be careful and take a few cautionary measures, and avoid exposing yourself and personal details to those who will harm you in one way or another.

Especially during the first few conversations with the respective person, do not mention your address, your family status, your income and other such aspects about yourself and your life that a stranger should not know about. Let some time pass, have multiple conversations online, even video chatting, just be careful with the details.

If you take online dating seriously, and you truly want to find the perfect match, then you should avoid falling into the other extreme: lying. This, is a common issue among people who chat online, because they have the opportunity of becoming who they want and of looking how they wish by posting a fake photo. You should try to present yourself in a balanced manner, not telling the whole truth regarding your personal details, but also staying away from major lies. It is not beneficial, and you will definitely not be able to find yourself the partner of your dreams.

Have several chat sessions before you actually give out your phone number. You can easily wake up being harassed by people whose sole target is to steal personal information and harm you. If the person you chat with is patient enough, and can wait even for weeks until you switch numbers, he/she has probably a genuine interest in you. If, on the other hand, the person is very impatient to find out your address, phone number and other personal details, you should most likely look elsewhere for an eventual partner. These are very simple rules and codes of safety you should always remember when you are about to enter an adult dating site.


But do get out their and do it. These warning are just precautions, it really is a fantastic way to meet people rather than the randomness of bar or sitting on your

used sofa hoping the next pizza delivery person is female. Never has is been easier to find the exact person, who shares your interests.

Dating In London When You're New To London...

Imagine the scene: you have never been to London before and in your mind is the idea, no, the entirely plausible dream, that finding a date will be simple and easy. After all, London is enormous isn’t it? How hard can it be to find someone? Surely at every turn there could be a potential date waiting to go out with you, right?

Well...yes, in theory you would be right. But then again, in theory it should be easy to find your way around London if you’ve never been before but...well, you get the picture. There are almost more people in one place in London than there are grains of sand in one place in various parts of Britain, too, so you would think that would improve your chances. But let’s just slow down and think about this now...this is London we are talking about, so you may have to refine your tactics slightly.

One of the major problems with finding a date in London is that a lot of people in London, purely out of conditioning, are in a world of their own and don’t like talking to strangers (anyone who is not them, a relation, or someone they know quite well). That’s not to say they might not look at you and think You look nice, it’s more that it’s extremely unlikely they are going to say it out loud. As anyone knows, getting a smile from someone on a tube is worthy of an Olympic medal, so with that in mind you can imagine that actually speaking to someone about anything remotely date-related – ask someone on the tube for directions and you’ll see just how hard it is to get someone to speak to you in any capacity – is potentially about as likely as losing weight on a diet of pizza and chocolate and beer.


The best thing you can do is be brave about it. You may find that some people are reluctant to talk, but who knows? You may also find that you meet that certain special someone.

Another way to improve your chances is to look online. There are several dating / friends websites other than Facebook which provide Londoners and people who are new to London with ways of meeting potential dates and friends in a pleasant and safe environment.And who knows, a couples trip to chalets val d isere may be on the cards for you Londoners yet...

Dating Tips For Men - Keeping That Girl

Most men do not find it hard to meet women and begin dating them. The problem is that once they reel them in, they can’t seem to keep them. This is usually due to the man acting too clingy or desperate for her and she then becomes bored. There are a few rules to dating that every man should follow to not only find that date, but keep her interested.

Learn how to become an attentive listener. Nothing ruins a relationship than someone not listening to what the other person is saying. The key to this is to really zone in on what she is saying and give her frequent head nods or verbal sounds that lets her know you are getting what she is saying. Ask her questions or have her elaborate on cetain things she has said to show your interest in her words. Lean in slightly when listening to show you are captivated with what she is saying.

Show her you are confident in yourself. This is not the same as having lots of money or power or because you have a job which enables you to play with medical supplies all day. Just act confident in yourself by smiling, speaking up and by doing things a little out of the ordinary.

Prepare for your dates by giving yourself the proper grooming. Give yourself a clean shave and add a nice smelling cologne. Just as important as your own looks, so is your car and apartment. Make sure that both are tidy and smelling good.

Give her a slight challenge. Do not make yourself too available for her. Break a date every once in a while. Do not answer your phone every time she calls or go out and make plans with your friends instead of her. Being too available and clingy turns a women off.

These are just some of the things you can do to not only find a date, but keep her interested in you and always wanting more.
