Saturday

If you’re with me this weekend, that is, you’re doing the “long weekend” thing at home between a friend’s place and the backyard or balcony, then you’re with me.

Good for you.

While a lot of people you know are off camping, boating and other daring doings we’re the smart ones, saving the gas and rental fees to have extra dollars for online dating memberships and coffee dates.

Yes, life is good.

Even myself, I will be working today at a retail job, selling computers to the literate, offering advice to the incomprehensible.

I’d laugh at myself if it didn’t hurt so much. But my point is, we do what we need to do, when we need to do it.

Sane and thoughtful, looking at the future is what we types do, right?

I know you’d agree with me on that last point.

Agreeable people always seek out people of the same type but have often tried the “opposites attract” approach before deciding that life just doesn’t work out like that. Good for you there’s a free communication weekend going on right now at eharmony.com. You can find a compatible match rather than a shouting partner. Hopefully.

And first and foremost (after you complete the personality profile and comprehensive membership questionnaire) you need an outstanding headline to help catch that first glimpse of someone’s attention as they scan their hopeful matches. I suggest this:
“Your future has brought you here, what is next?”

Have a great weekend!

Friday

There is a party and you’ve been invited. The problem, as you see it, is that you don’t know anyone there and only have a passing acquaintance with the person that extended the invite. Do you go?

The answer to this circumstance, no matter what it is, defines you as an introvert, an extrovert or someone that’s just so tired of doing nothing that taking a risk on what could be a terrible night is outweighed by the possible thrill of just being out.

I’m talking about this because the situation above, and the feelings about it, are similar to being an online dater.

You have an invite, and you might know of someone else that’s tried a particular dating service (with good or bad results) but the decision to go there, to do that, is entirely yours and often extends your comfort zone quite a bit.

And it’s all good.

Millions of people have taken this step (online dating) and a high percentage of these people have had great results whether that means getting a few dates or finding a marriage partner.

It all starts with the decision to do it and a place to do it at.

I can offer a few suggestions:
- match.com
- eharmony.com
- doyoudate.me
- aLoveLinksPlus dating great

Start by joining for a free membership and complete your profile. Remember to have a good, recent digital photo of yourself so potential new friends can see what you look like.

Start with a good headline too, something like this will work well:
“Yes, this is my first time… help!”

And have fun!

Wednesday

We all live our lives by some kind of personal creed or philosophy. Without our personal rulebook we are lost and when those rules are broken by someone close to us the pain runs deep and heals slowly.

We know deep down that these rules don’t necessarily apply to other people but it would be a nicer world if these rules were at least acknowledged to be fair to one and all.

Your online dating profile is one set of those rules, that honesty exists and is to be understood by all to be in “this place”, your online profile.

When this is understood by a potential date then you both have higher-than-normal expectations that need truth to exist in your lives then you have that quality of match that most relationship services depend on.

So date well and find your match; start with this headline for your dating profile:
“Where would we be for a quiet romantic walk?”

Have a great day!

Thursday

“Hot with thundershowers.”

I don’t know about you but I hate weather forecasts like that. Rain I can handle, hot weather I can live with but mix it together and you have a day that I’d just rather stay under the covers, thank you very much.

Revealing little idiosyncrasies can be not only liberating but help you with your relationships because people understand you better as you act out against the weather, rats, or whatever drives you crazy.

Your online dating profile is a great place to reveal these little things about yourself because when you are “pre-judged” by people that will meet you because of your profile you are also “pre-approved” as a friend and dating prospect.

So go ahead, share a little something crazy about yourself in your profile and see if your dating prospects don’t improve.

While you’re add it, now is a good time to change your profile headline too, try this one:
“I am following my inner drive.”

Have a great day!
