How Low Do You Go in Online Dating?
Sep 29, 2010 Dating True Stories
If you have more than a few minutes of experience in online dating, you know the above question is a fair one to ask. How low do you go in online dating? How low are you willing to go?
Okay, so maybe I’m a Mickey Mouse television journalist turned online dating blog dude. The photo to the left of Mickey and Goofy doesn’t lie. But really, I’m thinking of the low end of the online dating spectrum a little because of myself, but more because of interviews I’ve done recently with online dating users.
I spoke with a woman tonight who genuinely seemed pleased that so far none of the men she’s met online have turned out to be real psychos. Is that how we judge success in this thing called internet dating? On a brighter note, she is hoping her online dating experience gets much better when she meets the guy she’s been wanting to connect with but hasn’t yet due to their continued scheduling conflicts.
A guy I’ve talked to told me he’s lowered his expectations to the point that now when he meets a woman in person who he’s been communicating with online, if she’s within being 25 pounds heavier than her posted photos he considers that okay. Is that really okay to you?
Another attractive woman I know is dealing with her low expectations by intentionally putting up what is essentially a keep away sign on her online dating profile. She’s taken down her photos and listed her home cities as being in both the northern and southern parts of the United States. Is that a good state to finding one’s perfect match or soul mate?
How low do you go? Hopefully, you don’t go low at all. Singles shouldn’t do the limbo for love. No matter how many frogs you kiss that hop onto your path, hold on tight to your high hopes. Remember, it’s only that one prince or princess you are seeking.

How to Find True Love & Luxury in Online Dating using Forbes
Sep 28, 2010 Online Dating Tips
Real value for free? Really? You bet. Here’s a valuable multi-tasking, money-making, online dating tip if there ever was one.
You already know not to settle for someone who isn’t your perfect match or at least a great match. And remember, whenever a bride and groom exchange wedding vows, they always speak of for richer or poorer. But since no one roots against richer, let me pose this question to you:
Why shop for singles in poverty when you can zero in on wealthy women and mega-rich men by zip code?
To do this, we follow Forbes Magazine. Believe it or not, Forbes can create better fantasies than Playboy or Playgirl. Forbes has just released its ranking of America’s Most Expensive Zip Codes. It’s a list that could give all new meaning to the term “Mail Order Bride” because it features the top 500 pockets for you to look for luxury while you’re looking for love.
Do Duarte!
The funny thing about the Forbes list is more than half of the richest zip codes come from the financially strapped state of California. Duarte, California, the small suburb near Los Angeles has the #1 ranked zip code in 91008. Forbes finds that the median cost for buying a home here in the most expensive housing market is $4,276,462. The air quality ain’t great but multi-million dollar mansion owners can afford to buy a mask if necessary.
Targeting Duarte for your online dating prospects would be a hunt for quality not quantity. There are only 1,391 legal residents in 91008.
In some encouraging online dating news and economic news, more than one out of three zip codes in the United States saw its median prices either increase or stay flat in the past year. However, the slump staggers on for high-end homes. The slide continues but at a slower pace. In the top 500 high-end zip codes, the average home price fell 5% to $1.2 million from last year. In 2009, the decline of the markets on saw a drop of 7%.
If you’re wondering about Beverly Hills, 90210, it came in at # 6. Somehow, my zip code of 85286 in Chandler, Arizona must have been forgotten by Forbes. Here is their list of the top 10 richest U.S. zip codes:
1. 91008 – Duarte, California
2. 94027 – Atherton, California
3. 90274 – Rolling Hills, California
4. 07620 – Alpine, New Jersey
5. 10014 – New York, New York
6. 90210 – Beverly Hills, California
7. 10065 – New York, New York
8. 94920 – Belvedere, California
9. 10012 – New York, New York
10. 93108 – Santa Barbara, California
Here’s a link to look at the full list by Forbes of the most desirable U.S. zip codes for wealthy online dating prospects.
Happy hunting!

Brits Believe There’s BS in U.S. Dating Sites
Sep 25, 2010 Dating Websites
Maybe they’re right. But we keep it real at BlogOnlineDating.com. So, we’ll also point out maybe the Brits are still angry from 200-plus years ago when some overmatched colonists kicked the asses of their official army. In any case, some British online dating professionals are taking what they believe is a much smarter approach than what Americans are doing. You decide.
KISSING means “Keeping It Simple Stupid”
A new online dating service says it has just the person you’re looking for. And they say it’s much easier to find love online than many people think. UK Loving keeps it simple for singles with a simple to navigate website. It has deleted most of what American online dating sites do. There’s no touting of elaborate computer algorithms based on science and psychology. It’s more like animal instincts.
Back to Basics not BS
UK Loving gives its members a back to basics approach in looking for love online. The dating service did so because a survey found most singles don’t believe in or use the many tests available. Instead, it’s driven by first impressions, curiosity, and basic sexual attraction. The fun in searching for a boyfriend, girlfriend or soul mate comes down to noticing your possible perfect match because of how hot they look in their photo or something they say in their profile.
Just like in the United States, online dating is a booming trend throughout the United Kingdom. There is a constant stream of new singles using the internet to find a man or woman to meet, date, or perhaps share a lifelong relationship. Every day as a member of an online dating site brings more hope and possibilities.
Personally, I love to listen to British women talk. So, if any of you Yanks want to do a straightforward search for a British beauty or beau, you can log on to www.ukloving.co.uk.

Las Vegas Shows Good Odds for Online Dating
Sep 24, 2010 Dating True Stories
It is one of the great marketing slogans today. “What happens in Vegas…stays in Vegas!” As someone who lives within driving distance of Las Vegas and goes there for business at times, I will do my best to not violate that code by writing this online dating blog post. But here is the real truth of some of what I witnessed.
Oh my! I was powerfully reminded of how much there is to see in Vegas. I’m not talking about the amazing hotel casinos, or the mountain views, or the city lights at night. I’m just talking about the people!
For a long time I’ve said if there was a real job for “people watching,” I’d be a highly sought after employee. I never get tired of it. And since launching BlogOlineDating.com, this was my first trip to the city of sin with a keen eye on dating.
I checked in to the Hilton. Leaving the elevator as I was entering, was a balding, big-bellied white man. He was about 60 years old and stood about 5’7. He was proudly accompanying a heavily tattooed African-American woman. She looked to be about 25 years old and stood about 6’0. Add a few more inches for the heels on her feet and you can imagine how they really stood out. Call me crazy, but I suspected this couple took a different road to the concept of paid online dating service. If you know what I mean. Wink. Wink.
That night while walking the Wynn, I couldn’t help but notice a group of tall young scantily clad women posing for every drooling guy with a camera they could. The one brunette kept saying about her blonde friend, “She’s a bride, not a slut.” Meanwhile, the bride had her hands up the short skirt of the brunette and was rubbing her everywhere she wanted.
Furthermore, regarding lesbian related activities, there seemed to be a big run on large lesbian couples featuring women who looked very much alike and seemed very happy. Also, as I was my on my way to the men’s room in a restaurant, I heard the bartender tell two young passion filled women, “Hey girls, you can’t do that here! You’ve gotta go!”
I lost count of how many just married couples I saw. The Elvis lookalike cab driver even told me about a popular Rent-a-Wedding-Gown business that gets him multiple fares every single day. It makes you wonder how many of those couples met through online dating.
The friends of mine I met for a business brunch met through Match.com. They’ve been living happily together for more than three years now. At a business dinner that night, two of the fellas I’ve recently met told me they both have enjoyed online dating success. One guy met his current wife through Match.com. Another guy met his current fiancée through Chemistry.com.
So, in my first Vegas visit since starting this blog, I saw the odds were pretty good that many people there may have found love and romance through online dating. But I couldn’t find anywhere to get odds on the bet I wanted. I would have loved to bet against that one young bride to be. From what I saw, there’s no way her new marriage is going to last a lifetime.

Attitude is Everything in Online Dating. I’ll Prove It!
Sep 19, 2010 Dating True Stories
Singles who think positive will have more success. I’ll get to that in a moment, and give you a valuable but free gift, too!
Attending college provided a wonderful setting and opportunity for me to learn about dating women. I’m a proud graduate of Temple University. The school is located in my hometown of Philadelphia, PA. One of the things I’m most proud of is in 4 years I never got mugged or carjacked making my way to and from campus through “da hood” of North Philadelphia.
Our school mascot is an owl. But Jesus knows I certainly wasn’t one of the 3 wisest men to ever attend Temple. I held frequent hidden keg parties on Friday mornings right inside the Student Activities Center of all places. If you’ve seen the impromptu party scene in the classic film, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” you get an idea of the insanity of my actions.
I also had the honor of being named “HomeComing Big Man on Campus” during my junior year. In one of my less than proud moments, the front page of the Temple News featured a big story on how I was intoxicated at the football game. I would have sued the paper for slander if only it wasn’t true.
An even more crushing blow was delivered to my young male ego. My hopes of creating a romantic remake of the classic film, “Love Story,” were dashed because the HomeComing Queen and I couldn’t have possibly been or looked any more like the stars of a new “Laurel & Hardy” movie instead. Only this one I didn’t find funny.
Like most guys who attended college, I still remember the women that got away, usually more than the ones who didn’t. Majoring in Radio-Television-Film, there was a stunning woman with blonde hair I saw throughout my four years of college. Her name was Nina Tod—-v. She was so breathtakingly beautiful to me that I could make myself a nervous wreck just thinking about her. I can’t tell you how many times I convinced myself that the next time I saw Nina Tod—v, I would somehow strike up a conversation with her. Nada on Nina. I never did.
In an amazing but true story, I actually ran into Pope John Paul II while I was a college student and shook his hand. Yeah, I could pull off a real-life miracle like that. But…
I couldn’t get a date with Nina Tod—v. I struck out in college with my silent crush on her more than the entire Philadelphia Phillies roster did during those 1979-83 Major League Baseball seasons. To this day, I could whack myself in the head with a bat for being such an idiot. So, if you know Nina Tod—v who went to Temple University, please send her a link to this blog post for the laugh of a lifetime.
No, I didn’t forget the headline. Here’s where I prove “Attitude is Everything” in Online Dating.
Temple University’s football team put on losing performances even more dreadful than mine with Nina Tod—v. But our basketball team got really good when the unique John Chaney became head coach. There were billboards all over the city with his picture and the marketing slogan, “Attitude is Everything.”
I latched onto that saying and used it many times over the years, often in a joking manner. But it always stuck with me. So, when I first became an author and started doing speeches to promote my first book which was a celebration of children, I thought about creative messages I wanted to share. I brainstormed on how to use one of my favorite sayings, “Attitude is Everything.” Eventually, I came up with something most audiences found to be quite memorable.
So without any further self-deprecation or rambling, here is my amazing proven formula for why “Attitude is Everything” in Online Dating:
- Spell the word attitude. A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E.
- Now assign a number to each letter based on where it is in the alphabet.
- A is the first letter. It gets a 1, and so on. Here goes:
- A -1
- T – 20
- T – 20
- I – 9
- T – 20
- U – 21
- D – 4
- E – 5
- Now add up all of those numbers. What do you get?
You should get 100. A-t-t-i-t-u-d-e equals 100! Attitude is 100%! “Attitude is Everything!”
Please be kind enough to share this online dating blog post and formula with some men or women you know who might be in the market for a boost of confidence in the world of online dating.
Now if only I thought of this when I had a chance with Nina Tod—v.

Online Dating Quiz: Have you ever had a Honeymoon Salad?
Sep 17, 2010 Dating Websites
I just had to sink my teeth into this story. It is simply way too good to pass up. But before we get to the meat of it, let me just say that never in a million years did I think I would actually such an opportunity to write about what I dare now do. Oh the joys of having your very own online dating blog!
Of all the bad lines I use with reckless abandon in my verbal and written arsenal, this one I am about to share is up there with the best. Or, perhaps should I say it is down there with the worst? I use it often at restaurants and dinner gatherings, much to the chagrin of the digestive tracts of those within earshot of me.
The question I ask is this: “Have you ever had a Honeymoon Salad?” (Insert clueless look here). The answer I always get is, “No. What’s that?” I then smile and shout out, “Lettuce alone!” Get it? Let-Us-Alone! Do not disturb. We’re passionate lovers on our honeymoon…
Yeah I know. Let’s move on to the real meat of this online dating news story. Just when you thought you’ve heard everything about online dating and matchmaking, now there is a way for you to find true love by finding your salad soulmate!
Gives New Meaning to the term “Pick Up Bar”
Just Salad is a make your own salad bar in New York City and Hong Kong. It has created an online dining component to match singles based on their salad preferences. tastes and healthy eating lifestyles. Apparently, the locations have somehow transformed into spots where singles connect. So, they decided to dress it up a bit, build a website, and allow customers to have fun when they not in the restaurant. It’s www.saladmatch.com.
You can create a free profile talking more about your tastes in salad than sex, love, and rock n’ roll. Then magically, just like Perfect Match, Zoosk, eHarmony, or any other dating site, the computer algorithms will try to find you matches.
Check back later here at BlogOnlineDating.com because we’ll be telling you about some other food-friendly dating opportunities.
Now if only I could get Chris Rock out of my head. Do you know his standup comedy routine where he talks about what the term “tossing salad” means in a men’s prison? Consider yourself lucky if you don’t!

Entourage meets eTourage in Online Dating
Sep 14, 2010 Dating Websites
Entourage is the popular TV series that has aired on HBO since 2004. If you haven’t seen the creative and entertaining show for yourself, surely you’ve at least heard about it.
The theme for the series Entourage revolves around a young A-List movie star Vincent Chase, and his best buddies from Queens, New York, as they experience the up and down, real and surreal adventures that only Hollywood can actually bring to life. The premise for the show is said to be based on Executive Producer Mark Wahlberg’s real-life journey as an up and coming star and always having his boys around.
ETourage is a new online dating site launched in July 2010 that revolves around setting up group dates. It is making online dating news by going after a niche that targets young people who would rather avoid the trials and tribulations of disappointing one on one meetings and dates.
Stephen Bennett, a single guy in his 20’s from the Washington, DC area simply got so busy in his life with responsibilities from work and school, going to the gym and caring for his dog, that he claims he never had time to meet new people. So, he and partner Benjamin Gottlieb created a business to solve his own problem. “I naturally turn to the Internet to meet new people, but the options available online really aren’t geared toward the younger crowd,” said Bennett.
He points out that 18-29-year olds account for roughly half of the American singles. (You can check out our earlier post to see the results of singles in the latest U.S. Census). However, Bennett believes that young people aren’t using most of the existing online dating websites due to high costs and the LoserVille stigma they carry with them. In addition, most online dating sites promote everlasting love and marriage, but many young people today are really looking first for casual dating or just having a good time.
This online dating system works by creating an online profile, then recruiting your single friends to be in your eTourage. Other users can search the website for girls or guys who catch their interest. If they communicate and connect, they can ask each other out and simultaneously ask the members of their eTourages if they’d like to go on a group date.
To this online dating blog, the eTourage concept certainly sounds like a safer approach for young women. It also seems to have plenty of other advantages such as being more relaxed, feeling less pressure, and simply having fun being with a bunch of your good friends. Who knows? A person could wind up finding the love of life with the selected person or someone else who is one of the friends of another eTourage.

With September 11th, Most are from Mars. Victims are from Venus.
Sep 13, 2010 Dating True Stories
I know this is a “different” topic for an online dating blog. And that’s okay.
On September 11th, I stayed true to my goal and my word. I knew I had a hot date with my memories of being in New York. But I tried to get through the day being grateful and focused on where I was in the present.
I cherished the blessing of having custody of my 4-year old son on a not too hot sunny Saturday in Arizona’s Valley of the Sun. It was a formula that brought about many more smiles than tears. And thanks to my trusty digital camera and photogenic little boy, it helped me to create some wonderful new memories.
What I noticed again was that when it comes to the experience of September 11th, most people are from Mars. I’m talking both men and women. I’m also talking about Americans.
The folks from Mars it seems are the ones who remember and talk about 9-11 as though it somehow revolved around them. They speak of it in terms of where they were that day. They remember how they learned about the event. They remember they were watching it on TV. They remember how it altered their routines.
The people who appear to be from Venus are those of who who were directly connected or impacted by the powerful tragedies that took place 9 long and short years ago. We too remember where we were, and what we saw and heard. The difference is we too remember what we felt and still feel. And we remember how others felt and still feel, too.
In Arizona, it’s only natural that most people have a Mars-like experience. They were 2500 miles away from the World Trade Center. (It’s interesting, I originally wrote they “are” 2500 miles away as if those beautiful towers are still here). Anyway, the first tower was hit before six in the morning on Arizona alarm clocks.
But it’s okay to be different. And I spent the day of September 11th, 2010 recognizing it.
We had a scheduled morning play date at a nearby playground for my little boy and one of his best buddies from preschool. My son is caucasian. His friend is Chinese. I am divorced. His friend’s parents are happily married. Some parents at the playground participated in the fun with their children. Others paid more attention to their smart phones, seemingly hoping their kids didn’t get hurt too badly or run off with a stranger.
Of the hundred plus people there, two of us wore something that let others know we remembered. And that’s okay.
After the playground, my son and I then went shopping for a present for a new friend of mine. It created a whole new experience of differences. The guy we were shopping for is a real nice guy. I like him. He’s funny as hell and kind as heaven. He happens to have September 11th as a birthday. He happens to enjoy making jewelry. He also happens to be gay. We couldn’t be more different as men.
So, upon the wonderful recommendation of our mutual friend Karen, I carried my little boy into Michael’s, the arts and crafts store near our home in Chandler, Arizona. A female employee could tell right away I was lost and clueless. She led me to the beads section and was initially eager to help. But with question she asked about who I was shopping for, I actually noticed her step back physically and pull back emotionally. It was written all over her face. I couldn’t help but assume she was assuming I was gay and was shopping for my new “friend.” Now that was different.
We took our presents to the birthday party at a place in Phoenix that lets people create their own painted plates and pottery. Everyone in the place was so serious about what they were doing. Again, I couldn’t have been more different.
My son was like me. He soon was pulling me out the door because he wanted to go outside and play. We went to an awesome open area in the outdoor mall that has fountains coming up through the floor for kids to get wet. All of the other parents sat far away enough at tables to avoid getting wet. I was the one who wound up getting soaked from head to toe, including the discomfort of wet socks and sneakers. Again, I couldn’t have felt more different.
The day ended by helping a woman revamp her online dating profile for eHarmony. I took some photos of her and uploaded them. I also proofed what she had written and gave her some advice from a man’s perspective.
Needless to say, even more so than shopping for jewelry making supplies, this experience of seeing how women and men approach online dating was the crown jewel of recognizing differences on my September 11th. And that’s okay.

Debbie Does Millions
Sep 10, 2010 Dating True Stories
Yep. This is an online dating blog. So what? It doesn’t mean all of the content has to just be about using the internet for hooking up. In fact, with this post, we’ll be more than hooking you up. It’s sharing a story that can lift you up above the threatening thoughts and frightening forecasts of these challenging times.
Yep. This is online dating blog. So what? It doesn’t mean there can’t be real substance about real love, real life, and real people who can be inspirational and motivational when it comes to both love and life. In fact, I’d like to tell you about one such person, a new friend I just made. Chances are, you’ve heard about her.
Yep. Debbie Allen hails from Gary, Indiana, the same longtime troubled town that welcomed Michael Jackson to the world. Yep. Debbie Allen never went to college. So what? It doesn’t mean she isn’t smart, isn’t successful, isn’t wealthy and financially free, and isn’t a great student of business, life, and love. She’s all of those things and more, saying she specializes in Shameless Self-Promotion, Entrepreneurial Business Development, and Wealth Creation.
Yep. I went to visit with Debbie Allen in Scottsdale, Arizona yesterday. I also got to experience her as a live speaker for the first time. It showed clearly why she is one of the top female speakers and stage presenters in the world.
Yep. Debbie Allen is heroic yet humble. She’s a woman who has built and sold multi-million dollar businesses. Some she admits she was totally clueless about when she started.
Debbie spoke from the heart about how a year or so ago she was stuck in her life. Like so many of us she had to change the channel of the negative chatter she had going on her head. She did. And let’s just say now that Debbie Allen is unstuck and thriving.
While the struggling world economy has even reached the upper class of public speakers, Debbie transformed herself in the past year into a popular international speaker with rock star status in some foreign countries. She managed to raise her fees in the past year as most others were lowering theirs. Can I hear an “Atta Girl” for that?
Yep. Debbie Allen’s professional career is riding a new wave of success. But her personal life is equally successful and inspirational. She had a best friend, business partner, and relationship partner in love, all wrapped up in one. Peter is a successful real estate training professional in Australia. He was here in the immigration hot bed of Arizona living with Debbie. Through a chain of interesting events, he wound up getting deported and was sent down back under. And once again, “what doesn’t break you makes you stronger.”
Peter and Debbie have managed to keep their love alive. They’ve improvised, adapted and overcome their blessing originally disguised as an obstacle. They have survived the incredibly long distance love relationship. They Skype with each other online every night. They travel together. Debbie will now be living about half of the year with Peter in Australia. They are happy together and growing together.
Debbie Allen is living proof you can have it all in life. If you would like to have it all in your life, perhaps you can give her a long look and listen. You can come here to visit Arizona’s Valley of the Sun from November 19-21, 2010 to attend a wonderful weekend seminar Debbie Allen and partners are hosting. Here is the web address for more information: http://www.millionaireentrepreneursummit.com/
Yep, whether it’s inspiration for your love life, career, or personal life, I think you’d get an awful lot out of your weekend visit to Arizona with Debbie Allen.

9-11 Newsman Turned Blogger Gives Free Online Dating Profile Reviews for September 11th Victims
Sep 8, 2010 NewsRoom
www.blogonlinedating.com offers online dating news, reviews, interviews, tips, and fun for singles. The new online dating blog is run by a single Daddy, who is an expert at internet content development through writing and video.
Chandler, AZ, September 8, 2010 – 9 years later, he still remembers. As a producer for ABC News, Thomas Baldrick covered the 9-11 tragedies for about six weeks straight. Most of it was in the New York City area. The rest of the time he spent in Shanksville, PA where Flight 93 crashed. Now, he’s using his online dating blog to show a little kindness to other singles like him who might be hurting on that unforgettable day.
The newsman turned Internet Content Development Specialist will put to use his creative and writing skills to help others on the upcoming 9th anniversary of 9-11. Eight years ago, he unveiled his “9-11 Wall of Hope” at the Shanksville Elementary School with Pennsylvania Governor, Mark Schweiker. The heartwarming and heartbreaking project paid tribute to children affected by the tragedies through showcasing their feelings, artwork, poems, and prayers.
Now in 2010, through his new online dating blog news site, blogonlinedating.com, Baldrick is offering a free online dating profile review and consultation to the first 20 singles personally affected by September 11th. Interested singles need only send an email to: blogonlinedating@gmail.com.
“As September 11th rolled around last year, I thought I’d gotten all of the tears out my system. Ouch, was I wrong,” admitted Baldrick. “This year, I feel grateful to have custody of my little boy on 9-11. My original goal was just to give him a very happy day. But then I got this idea to do something more. Since my online dating blog already offers 10 free tips for creating the perfect online dating profile, I decided to personally help 9 female singles and 11 male singles to improve theirs. Why 9 women and 11 men? Because guys need more help than women!”
Baldrick says he is not going to require official confirmation from men or women who request his help through this offer. All he asks is that they were truly impacted by 9-11 by losing a loved one or by being a survivor of the tragedies. “I’m sure we’ll talk on the phone and share experiences,” he said. “And if there are any American singles who would lie about something like this on such a sacred day in our country, then they would need far more help than I can give them through this small act of kindness.”
The online dating industry has been experiencing a rapid rate of growth. Most research shows the industry now has annual revenues of more than $ 4 billion dollars. The latest U.S. Census Bureau figures report there are some 96 million American men and women over 18 years of age who are singles. That equals 43% of the entire U.S. population.

Come Labor Day – Get to Work on Dating!
Sep 6, 2010 Online Dating Tips
While the official calendar says differently, Labor Day marks the end of summer in the minds of most of us. An online dating blog should look at this.
While the fall weather usually brings relief and a pleasant change outside, inside the minds of many men and women who are singles, Labor Day also means a shift in our thinking as we search for casual dating partners, sexual partners, or serious relationship partners. You can become more interested in finding a partner knowing what is ahead on the calendar.
Traditionally, if you hit this time of year, some of us might be looking for a special someone with whom to watch football games and create your own more exciting halftime show. For those of us who are unable to forget September 11th, that is certainly a day of reflection about where your life has gone, where it is at the moment, and where you want it to go.
But really, the next major milestone on the single’s calendar might be Halloween. That can be a really fun social event with a significant other. Next comes Thanksgiving. While turkey and all the fixings are often shared with family, having a person you’re dating can make everything taste better.
And then of course there is Hanukkah for some, and Christmas for the rest of us. All the wrapped presents in the world can’t replace the feeling of being wrapped in the arms of someone you love on Chrismas Eve or Christmas morning. So you can wait and ask Santa again for your perfect match. You can try to convince him you’ve been a good girl or boy. Needless to say, having someone to kiss at midnight on New Year’s Eve is really the only fireworks singles care about at all.
Or you can take a chance and put yourself out there in the world of online dating.
The internet is such an amazing tool. You use to search for things you want to find, things you want to buy, and things you want to learn about. So why not use online dating to find men or women to date, or find the perfect match of your dreams? You can’t use the internet to buy a person legally, but you can use it to buy an online dating service. And you can certainly jump into this process to learn more about yourself and other people.
So, if you don’t have an online dating profile, why not create one? If you already have a profile, why not give it a fresh look? AND SIGN UP FOR OUR 10 FREE TIPS TO CREATE YOUR PERFECT ONLINE DATING PROFILE!
Hopefully, either of these actions will lead you to the goals you have and the happiness you want in sharing all that life has to offer with a relationship partner. So, now that Labor Day has come, why not get to work on dating? Improve your social life before the long, lonely days and nights with Old Man Winter!
