What Can You See?


I can’t tell anyone to be kinder to their parents (except for our own children, when they’re jumping on our heads). But I can invite everyone to cut all parents some slack. 
Whether you have children or not, whether your parents are still around or not, stop thinking about what you can see – a frazzled mum or dad, snapping at their child; a parent, letting you down – and imagine for a moment what you can’t see: a lone adult trying to do everything on their own, with no back up; someone trying to keep a tiny human from running into the road, when they've only had two hours’ sleep in the last three days; a loving carer who had to drive across a continent while their ‘other half’ is nowhere to be seen, and certainly not when their joint children are behaving like Tasmanian Satans on horse burgers.
Just take a moment, and give them a smile, or a hand, or just restrain yourself from judging them because they can totally see it on your face.

Writing Your Online Dating Ad


So you’ve decided your about to take the plunge into online dating. In essence what you’re going to try to achieve is selling yourself, so before you go wading in and then end up starring blankly at the profile page, here a few pointers in writing a good personal ad.

Many of the dating sites provide templates and questionnaires to help, but you will have to have some writing input into it with things like your profile name, hook line ( one sentence that sums you up ) and a bit about you.
The internet dating gurus recommend writing a bit more about you then just a few sentences as the brief profiles tend to get passed over.
It is important to describe yourself as honestly as possible. The questionnaire bit normally takes care of the weight, height, colouring, body type, religion, smoking/drinking preferences, education and profession. Be honest with this as trying to pretend your into the stock market to snare a rich chap or that you’re a 6 foot model when your not doesn’t do you any favours and wasting your own plus others time.
When you think up your username try to steer clear of the ‘cutesy bunnies’ and ‘never found love’ types and don’t use anything that gives exact information about you. In your bit about you, you can mention hobbies and interests you like. Try and write with a personal touch instead of coming across cold and factual. Be humble but stay away from self-deprecating humour.
Some good words to try and include – sophisticated, loving, generous, reliable, my colleagues describe me as…… affectionate, likes to cuddle, sensitive, caring, down to earth, looking for best friend.
Words to defiantly avoid using (even if you are all of them) – great in bed, animal, great lover, erotic, uninhibited and other sexual connotations.
Also spell check and check your grammar. People notice these things in a little box. It’s good also to include what kind of person you want to respond to your ad and also state if you are just looking for friendship, casual relationship or marriage material.
As for posting a photo of you – the internet dating gurus reckon that the ads with photos get up to ten times more response then those without. So it’s your call on that one but if you do, choose you’re best recent photo and don’t even bother with a pretend picture of a model. Your profile might get rejected.

What is Dating and Why You Should Do It!

Dating is a fascinating process. It is the time when both parties involved are trying to understand the other person, and so are on their best behaviour at all times. They do not want to show the less than perfect side of things and so are always trying to impress the other party and make sure that person realizes how lucky they are to have them in their lives. It is after all the time when two people decide if the other person has the potential to be in their lives for… well, forever, to look at it in a bit of a corny light! Dating is also when confusion reigns as one of the more prevalent emotions, along with a certain degree of happiness, self-importance (here is someone who thinks what you say is significant) and maybe, for the lucky ones, the initial stages of love.

Dating is considered a good way of getting to know another person, as it is in this time that you learn a lot about how compatible you are with the other person. It can be a fun and exciting process, with both parties flirting and enjoying each other’s company. If, after going through the dating process, either or both of those involved feel like they would not be able to have a long-term relationship, they end the relationship there and then , which bring us to another good thing about dating – unless really serious, it can be a totally no strings attached approach, which significantly reduces the pressure for both, at least at the beginning.

Do You Love Your Pets As Much As Your Partner?

7 out of 10 pet owners claim their dogs get jealous when they hug their partner, a recent study found.

As a result, many resort to the rather unromantic measure of including their pet in the embrace to pacify them!

Happy Valentines?


So how was Valentines Day for you? Everything you wanted it to be? Did the love of your life shower you with rose petals and shared a romantic meal with you?

Or are you still looking for Mr/Mrs Right?

It's never too late to find your perfect partner, but it's no good sitting around feeling sorry for yourself. Like most things in life, if you don't actually do something about the situation, it will just carry on as before. As the saying goes, "change nothing and nothing will change"

So take the plunge, get back out there, and start to enjoy your life again!

Don't Be a Liar!


In the world of online dating, white lies can take on many forms, including,

posting a photo more than nine months old
lying about your age
lying about your income
lying about your job. 

The simple fact is that you are likely looking for your soul mate, so at some point in the dating relationship, those lies will come back to haunt you. Always be honest and truthful in everything you say and post. 

By always telling the truth, you'll never have to remember what you said!
