One Simple Bit of Dating Advice For the Ladies

Ladies, consider growing your hair long. Of course, if short hair is your thing, then don’t change it. But the majority of men love long hair, and for many recently divorced women the first thing they do is grow out their hair before they get back on the dating scene. If you haven’t had long hair in years, maybe it’s time to try it out again.

Dating Tip: Confidence is Sexy

If you believe you’re sexy, others will, too. Confidence really is a natural aphrodisiac. If you go into your date slumped over and insecure you’ll be far less attractive than if you strutted into the room. Seriously, the sexiest people are those who are cocky enough to believe it about themselves first, then everyone else follows.

Ladies: Keep Your Nails Manicured

Manicure those nails, ladies! You’re no longer 22 years old rocking out to Hole like it’s 1995, so chipped nails are not OK. Of course, sometimes nails break or chip by accident and you can’t get to your manicurist right away; but before you go on your date, make sure you remedy the situation. You don’t want to reach for a glass or his arm mid-laugh and have him notice your index finger is missing a chunk of red polish. Ugh.

A Simple Tip That Can Make a Huge Difference

Red wine is delicious! But it also stains like it’s nobody’s business… and not just your clothes if you spill it, but your teeth, too. If you decide to make wine your drink option during dinner, choice white so as to prevent having one of those dull grey toothed smiles by the end of the night.

Find Your Perfect Match in 2012 With These Tips, Part Three

Today we give you part three of our tips on how to find your perfect match in 2012.

Put the judgment aside. Whether you’re judging yourself or potential dates, you need to stop. Leave your old judgments in 2011 and give yourself and others a chance. Remember you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Make time in your life to smell the flowers. As human beings we spend our lives in a hurry and bustle. Too many of us don’t stop to smell the flowers or meet someone new, and yet we’re confused as to why we’re still alone. If you make time to enjoy the things you’ve been rushing past these last few years, you never know what you might find.

Don’t just think positive; be positive. Not only does being positive have a major impact on the health of your mind and body, but it’s contagious, too. People want to be around positive people because even on a gloomy day, a positive person is a glimmer of sunshine. Be that positive person and people will naturally gravitate toward you. No one likes a killjoy.

In case you missed it, here is part one of our tips and part two. Come back tomorrow for the final installment.

Find Your Perfect Match in 2012 With These Tips, Part Two

Yesterday we covered three tips on  how to find your perfect match in 2012.  Today, we discuss two more.

Be realistic. It’s time to understand that perfection doesn’t exist and romance isn’t a nicely packaged Hollywood movie with an impossible ending. In having realistic goals in what you want in another person, you open yourself and your heart up to someone special automatically. However, once you do meet that person, the next thing you need to realize is even with great love and companionship comes the need to cultivate, dedicate and work hard at maintaining it.

Expand your interests. Not only do well-rounded people make for interesting dates and conversationalists, but they also make for better human beings. As January gets underway consider taking a class in something that interests you or donating your time to a charity that is important to you. People love a person who’s selfless enough to engage in volunteer work.

Look for more tips tomorrow as we post part three.
