Article Body:

People have always looked for ways to enrich and improve their lives by

finding a friend, lover or partner. However, in our busy modern world, it can

be difficult to find time and energy to meet a partner the conventional way.

That's why internet dating has become so enormously popular for singles all

over the world. And it's not hard to see why. More and more people turn to

dating websites: both paid and free

dating sites, rather than traditional places like churches, social clubs

and friends' circles.

The internet offers a fast communication system. People with a common

interest can almost immediately start messaging others looking for the same

thing. The internet is an extremely time saving, cost effective, economical

and anonymous medium. You don't have to a be rich, high profile movie star

or a well known sports person to be on the internet and meeting people.

Everyone is equal in cyberspace, and everyone has an equal chance to succeed.

That is, if you know how!

It all comes down to knowledge and expertise. No matter how great and trendy

the technology is, it is you who has to make use of the knowledge, and only

you can take the initiative. Technology only helps us, as a means to make

dating services quicker and often cheaper than what was once possible.

Online dating success is more likely when you have polished practical

communication skills. There is no single solution for effective online

conversation with another person. In the article that follows, I've listed

some important points to get you started. And of course the more points you

follow, the more you will succeed at internet dating.

Let's start with your own profile on an internet dating website (most dating

websites require that you set up a 'profile' about yourself, to display to

others who are searching for someone). What you've written in your profile's

self-description is very important.

You may start a great online conversation with someone you like, but if they

look at your profile and see a clumsy presentation (like thousands other

profiles), I guarantee the conversation will not last long!

A poorly-written profile gives the impression that you're not serious about

dating. And remember, you profile doesn't have to be 100% honest. There is a

difference between being honest and being careful about the information you

present. Be honest about your best personal qualities, but not about personal

details such as telephone number, address, workplace and so on. Share that

private information with your online friend later, when you trust them more.

There are no 'good' or 'bad' dating website profiles. But there are '

effective' and 'ineffective' ones! If you are on a dating site and about to

write your own profile, work hard to create one of the effective ones. All it

takes is few extra minutes of thinking, and some planning. Actual writing

time will be the same, whatever profile you write (effective or ineffective).

A few extra minutes can therefore make a world of difference.

Your description should be a pleasing combination of funny and unique. Humor

nearly always attracts someone's attention, and the more you can describe

your unique character, the better. And the profile should not be too long, or

too short. And be particular. For example, don't write 'I love expensive

cars' but 'I'm interested in Ferraris and Porsches'. Being more specific

about interests and hobbies will invite further discussion from people

viewing your profile). It's a good idea to create your profile in a word

processor first, and use that software's 'spell check' feature. People expect

to read well-written descriptions with good English and correct spelling.

Think about your profile's title. The title is the part of your profile that

people first see when searching a dating website. It's like a personal '

headline' about you. A bad title might be: 'horny stud is looking for a sexy

chick'. A catchy title: 'Skydiving accountant looking for a down-to-earth

business lady'.

Contact someone whose profile has no picture or/and description - don't

underestimate this. You have far less competition when communicating with

people who have blank profiles. People with complete profiles get lots of

messages, so consider contacting people without pictures or a complete

profile.

Profiles with picture and a description - these require a different strategy

and approach. You will need more patience and persistence, because you are

competing with many other messages for this person's attention.

Be smart and use the information from the other person's profile as your

starting point for a message to them. Find out from their profile what they

like most. Follow-up on what they like, as a conversation starter. It could

be their new mobile phone or music album, or even a favourite holiday

location or restaurant that you are also familiar with.

It's also a good idea to ask intelligent questions that avoid a simple 'yes'

or 'no' reply. Try to make the other person express their opinion on a topic.

Instead of asking something like: "Do you like ABCD band?" try this: "What do

you think about ABCD's last hit?"

Use jokes appropriately. Avoid saying something funny/offensive about well-

know people, unless you are 100% sure the other person has a similar view. Be

creative and add some funny sentences to your messages. This will keep your

online friend attracted to you, and they will want to continue the

conversation.

Don't wait for other people to contact you. Make an effort to start a

conversation with someone whose profile caught your eye.

Be determined to achieve your goal. Start by making a realistic plan, perhaps

breaking it into measurable steps first. Approach online dating with a

positive attitude. Something like: 'I will only leave this particular dating

site when I've met someone I really like.'

Write individualised messages to people you contact. Don't send impersonal,

generic or ready-made messages. People spot these right away, usually by the

way text mis-aligns in your message (text that has been copied and pasted has

different alignment). Or by content that might not be relevant to their

profile details.

Write a few sentences in your messages. Don't just say 'hi, how are you? or '

hi, you look gorgeous!' People receive lots of short messages, and they won't

be impressed if you send yet another one.

Avoid writing long messages. It can annoy people as much as short one. It's a

mistake to write a long message containing everything you want to say. Bear

in mind what the other person wants to hear! An overly long or self-indulgent

message will often not receive a reply.

Show the person you chatting with that you care about them. It will put you

in a better position than other candidates. Do this by being empathetic, and

interested in their life.

Contact one person at a time. Doing this means you'll be more prepared, and

more focused. If you're more prepared, you're more likely to receive a reply,

which could lead to a ongoing conversation online.

Always have your best photos displayed in your profile. Update them regularly.

Make sure there are a few of them. At least one must be a recent portrait.

One full-length photo is also a good idea. It's a bonus if you're smiling in

the photos! Having photos online will considerably increase traffic and

therefore your chances of meeting someone. People often reluctant to contact

somone without a photo.

Be prepared to follow-up on every message you send. If the person you're

contacting hasn't replied in a few days, write another message, and keep it

friendly. Don't be demanding. Tell the person you're waiting for a reply and

you'd like to hear from them, so you can hear whether they are not interested

in you, or not. Don't keep sending further messages if you don't receive a

reply to your second message. Some people will only send a reply IF they are

interested in you. If you don't hear from someone, you can assume it is a 'no'

from them.

The last and one of the most important tip is never give up. This is easier

said than done! Remember that persistence brings success - there are no

shortcuts. Keep in mind that online dating does work - many people have met

their marriage partner from dating websites.

Follow the above tips to increase your chances of online dating success. Once

you gain experience and polish, you will definitely see results. Happy dating!

10 Common Lies Told by Women

Why are some relationships more honest than others? Why are some couples more truthful with each other while others like to deceive the partner? Nobody deserves to be lied, but there are no doubts that women are telling lies considerably and often. But so men do the same.

If you have trust issues in your relationship, in general, a woman may lie to you. Trust is something that you must build from the beginning of the relationship. Even though, a lot of people say ?white lies'' in order to make others feel better. Some women lie because, as caring creatures they want to spare the feelings of the man they are dating or seeing.

So, here are some common lies told by women that you should know. Someday you might hear them from your partner and it is better to know their real meaning.

1.You're perfect. I love you just the way you are and I wouldn't change a thing about you. Let's be serious; nobody is perfect. At the beginning of a relationship all of them say this because they didn't know you very well but after some time will definitely find something that needs changed. So, if she tells you something like this, don't be too enthusiastic because she finds you perfect just for a couple of days, and after that she will ask you to change.

2.You're right. Every time you are arguing with you're girlfriend usually ends up by telling you that you are right? Maybe this makes you feel proud of you, but you have to know that this is a big lie. She said this just to make you shut up, even if she didn't consider that you're right. She knows that after a while you will see that she was right, and may be waiting for apologize.

3.Nothing is wrong. The most common lie '' I'm fine'' when asked if there is something wrong is the most used by women. You see that she is upset, she is acting strange or doesn't want to talk to you too much and ask her what is the problem she says that everything is fine. They don't want to tell the real truth but they are expecting that men to figure out that something is wrong and those they had a mistake with something.

4.I do love sports honey. Maybe she agrees to stay and watch with you every week at a football game but this doesn't really mean that she like it. She accepts to do this just to show you that she is different from other girls and you have common interest. You may be thinking that you have found the perfect girl for you, because not many of them would like to stay to watch football, but don't be too happy because after a while she might had enough and get angry every time you sit down to watch a game.

5.I like spending time with your friends. At the beginning this is ok, but not too much. Even if they are good friends of you, she would like to spend more time alone with you and not with your friends. If she didn't tell you already this, she will ask you to keep visits from your buddies at minimum and then she might keep pretending she loves them.

6.Your family is adorable, so I like spending time with your family. The truth? Maybe twice a month. Think about it. Do you really think that she likes to spend time with your family where everybody is criticizing her and watch her every move? She agrees to spend time with your family when is necessary but she doesn't do it with much pleasure even if she is pretending in front of you that she likes them.

7.Your bank account doesn't matter. I hope you didn't believe this. We all know that this is definitely a lie. All women want a guy that is financial stable and independent, a guy that can assure her a future with no financial problems. This doesn't mean that you have to be very rich to have a girlfriend, but you have to have some money.

8.It doesn't bother to me if you look after women or go with your boys at strip-clubs. This is too good to be truth. Even she says that this is ok, she will definitely be upset that you want to go. They hate to feel second best to a night out with the guys, and accept this in order to make themselves seem less pathetically needy. If you choose to go, she will make you a lot of comments after, so you better think twice before you go.

9.You are very good in bed. If she choose to speak about this topic without you ask her, you don't have to believe all she says. If she starts to compliment you about your sexual experience it doesn't mean that she really believes that. Often a woman who cares about a man tell him all that she knows he wants to hear just to make him feel good about himself. So think about your girlfriend, your relationship, your sexual experience and see if you really deserve compliments on this topic.

10.Don't worry, it happens to everyone. If you just make a mistake, or fail in bed, you might hear this lie from your girlfriend. She doesn't want to show you how upset she is on you but in her mind thinks something else. I wouldn't be too sure that your mistake is forgiven and I would worry in not making too many '' accidents'' like these.

With all these presented, now will be more easy for you to know when your girlfriend is lying. As you see, what a woman says is not what she really thinks.

Being Successfully Single Until the Right One Comes Along!

Our planet is brimming with a random lottery of people; undeniably though, finding true love can be considered a risky business. Love is supposed to be a beautiful feeling with lots of happy thoughts emanating from the whole package of being in love, so why is finding true love is considered a difficult challenge?

Is finding love really so hard though? Or do we just make it hard? Finding love is not hard, but sometimes it takes a long time. So if you are single now, and I assume that you are, then you are likely goint go be single for awhile.

Here are some advantages of being single:

1. You are independent Basically you can do what you want when you want. You don't have to wait, you don't have to ask, you can just go.

2. You have more time When you're single; you don't have to sit around doing nothing. Want to go to the gym? Want to join the hiking club? Play an instrument? How about watch your favorite video for 10th time? Want to take a course? Learn a new hobby? Who's stopping you?

3. You don't have to deal with another's personal habits You can sleep without listening to someone's snoring and hog all the blankets all the time and nobody cares. You don't have to pick up after anyone but yourself. And you don't even have to pick up after yourself if you don't want to. Give your patience a well-deserved break.

4. You can be spontaneous Be daring! Do what you want when you want to and who cares if you don't get to dinner until midnight? Do something out of the ordinary, without having to get permission first or calling ahead. This is freedom!

5. You can focus on your career You can channel your energy into your work. Without a relationship, you have a lot more time. Put in those extra hours and impress your boss, or take on new projects.

6. You are your own boss Relationships need compromise and you don't always get your own way. Both people in a relationship have to give something up for the greater good of the relationship. Do what you want and treat yourself more. Selfishness is good for the soul (in small doses).

Don't stress! That special someone is out there and you can and will find them. It just takes time.

In the meantime, enjoy being single. In fact, I believe that if you can't be happy being single, you will never be happy with your soulmate! Kind of like rich and poor. There are lots of poor people who are happy and lots that are unhappy. Same with rich people -- lots are happy and lots are unhappy. Now what do you think would happen if we took a poor who was unhappy, and gave them lots of money?

You guessed it! They would probably be happy for a short time, but it wouldn't last and eventually they would be just as unhappy as they were.

Ever wonder why that is? Being happy comes from inside of you not outside. OK, you are single -- enjoy yourself and that special person will come along before you know it!

Are You Satisfied With Your Mate?

My idea of home is everything at the right place. His idea is to litter around as much as possible. I love to read, he prefers to go to movies. I love to party, she prefers a cozy dinner for two. I love what they call junk food and she wants organic vegetarian. And so it goes. Both the partners are so different in every thing, that one wonders how they ever came together. What can one talk about such relationships?

Many of us are involved in such relationships. One of the partner is a genius and the other could barely pass through the exams. How do such relationships develop and how do they survive? Such relationships developed because both loved each other because of the differences. The differences attracted them. They found each other so different to each other that it was something exciting for them. They loved each other for these differences and so they came to enjoy life as if it was some exciting trip to unknown destinations.

What is the future of such relationships? It is difficult to say. If the love and care that brought them together still remains, they will tolerate everything else. Doesn't a mother do everything for her toddler? That is because of love and care. So if the love remains, everything can be taken care of. If they are still very much caring for each other and get no thought of a break-up, nothing can break them. But if the love dwindles, the complaints will rise. The complaints will finish the remaining love and the relationship is doomed.

If you ask some one if he/she is satisfied with their mate, the answer will tell you about the love between them. Because even if their habits are very much similar and the love is lost, they will find imaginary complaints. Satisfaction with ones mate depends on one factor - love and care. If both care for each other and love each other, they will be satisfied despite thousand differences or similarities. Otherwise they will be dissatisfied under every circumstance.

What to do if she just needs a break

Long Term Relationships are very difficult to sustain. After some time appear a lot of misunderstandings, argues and problems which are inevitable because that's life. There are couples which know how to get over these problems and their relationship continues, but many of them fail. But there are also other reasons why a couple break down as because there is no love anymore, they can't understand anymore or just that one of them is bored in this relationship. Although, what happens if she say that she still loves you but she needs a break?

Let's say that a few days ago, your girlfriend of just over two years told you that she needs a break; she still says that she loves you and want you to be together some day, but right now she needs some space, a break in order to settle her minds. What should you do?

First of all you should try to ask her the reasons, doesn't she likes someone else? Maybe she won't tell you the truth and keep telling you lie in the face, but let her know that by taking this break is the risk of losing you forever. So if she really cares about you she will be a little worried that the game she planed would not go as she wanted. If you have the power, you should confront her and tell her that she is right, you feel too trapped lately and you consider too that is the best for you to have a break, even this is not what you want and your heart is broken.

If a girl asks for a break in relationship you have to give her that; if she still loves you as she said then she will come back to you. If she tells you that she will call you, you've better wait until she decides to do it. So do not try to contact her, to not call her, give her the time she needs. To not try desperately to get her back because she will run of you and then you will never get her back. Leave her alone, be busy and she will be sorry for letting you.

You have to think what may be the reasons why she wants to take a break as opposed to break up. Maybe you haven't been the best boyfriend she ever wanted. Or maybe she is making new friends, venturing on her own, enjoying the single life, having second thoughts about the relationship and she is outgrowing you; she is having fun right now, but having you as a boyfriend may not really fit into her new life.

Another reason why she wants to take a break is that she is not quite ready to let you go, but she wants to be able to meet other guys, without resorting to cheating on you; or she just met a new boy that she likes but she is not sure if she wants to stay with him or you.

What happens if she still calls you, dating sometime, but she doesn't tell you to get back together? The best thing you can do is to show her that you are fine without her, even if your heart is broken; all the girls are the same: when a girl it feels unwanted, is ready to do anything in order to be wanted again; so if she doesn't come running back it means that she didn't care too much.

You have to wait a little after her, but not too much. If she is sure that you love her, she likes this situation: she feels that she still has a boyfriend when she wants too, and also it is free to find someone new. So start letting go of your feelings for her right now and start date with other girls meantime because it is not considerate cheating because right now you are not a couple anymore, you are separated. It is the only way for you to move on with your life and if by some chance the two of you get back together someday, it will be on your terms. So go out with your own friends and have some fun.

When people decided to take a break, what they are really doing is taking time to see if there is somebody more suited for them out there. So you must think better if your girlfriend doesn care about her more than she cares you.

Why Couples Running Away Together

Elopement normally happens to troublesome teen couples. It includes not only the traditional form of eloping, where you head down to the local justice of the peace, but now, many couples are tying their knots in many exciting, out-of-the-ordinary ways.

Most couples will have a day dream and start with exciting plans of a romantic, enjoyable traditional wedding. They dream up wild ideas for creating a memorable event to start their lives together. And then... reality hits. Family members dabble their fingers in the minute details. For example, Aunt Jan offers to sing her favorite love song, in operatic voice, while you want a cellist and pianist. In addition to your family intrusions, you can see your bank account and maybe your parent's as well, beginning to plummet from all the essentials that make a wedding successful. Estimates put the average American wedding in the $20,000 to $25,000 range. And since 30% of couples end up paying for their own wedding, this can often mean the difference between having a memorable one day event and having a down payment on a home. Plus, coordinating everything... from photographer, to location, to dates, to relatives, becomes an increasingly painful experience.

Other factors have also played an important role in couples who elope. The average age of marrying couples has slowly risen since the 1950's. This has led to couples who are more independent and not as worried about pleasing parents and friends when they tie the knot. Also, due to high divorce rates, many second marriages lead couples to opt for smaller, more practical ceremonies. It also seems, in general, that social pressures have lessened in regards to non-traditional weddings.

Some couples find they have lived together for several years, and finally decide they just want to legally consummate their relationship. In fact, a large portion of elopers, some independent statistics show up to 75%, actually plan their weddings months in advance. This is much different from the common perception of an instant, spontaneous wedding... which is often how we see elopers portrayed on TV and in the media. If you have hit that point, where you are tired of all the stressful planning, all the schedule juggling, and all the money draining from your account, then maybe it's time to stop. Relax! And think about the other wedding option... eloping.

It seems that eloping is not a romantic idea at all. It is a wedding strategy that can lessen your stress and give you a lot of fun memories to share others.

You Can Improve Your Relatonships

Is there magic to what makes some relationships last longer than others? Maybe. Do some people just sit back and sulk, while others seem to let life go by right over their heads and problems? It sure seems so. Or maybe it just that some people learn secrets of success from their grandparents or other relatives or friends. And since the latter is probably more accurate, here are some tried and true tips from people who have enjoyed long, happy relationships.

1. REFRESH ?Take time to look back, refresh your memories and share what brought you together. Especially when times are difficult, lean back and rely on these old memories as your foundation and glue yourselves back together with them (not literally, of course!)

2. DATES ?Keep dating each other. Even if life seems too busy, meet at the end of the evening for something light and easy, like viewing your favorite sitcom (record it if necessary) together or playing a game of Euchre.

3. FUN ?Couple tend to have fun on dates, then get married and too serious. Lighten up. Head to Yahoo Games (off Yahoo.com main site) and join in any number of card or other games. Or head to a local rental shop and rent an Xbox or other game player and some games.

4. FORGET ?No need to lways?remember the bad things that happened during an argument. Actively orget?sometimes. Be the first to apologize and make up. Go for it!

5. SPACE ?Give each other some space. Either you trust or you don. Get on with life, though. People need time alone and time with their mates and other friends. Be sure to give and take your fair share of space.

6. DISAGREE ?Agree that it okay to disagree on some issues, and leave it at that. No need to create a new religion or political movement just to appease both of you. You don HAVE to agree on everything. And you won. And that okay.

7. MEMORIES ?Make some together. Enjoy special moments, special anniversary dates and events. No need to be elaborate. For example, maybe you enjoyed watching a hot air balloon race one spring day. The next year, you might schedule time to watch it again. Make it an annual event. Collect postcards with balloons on the, playing cards, toss pillowsver time it becomes a theme.

So don just sit back and sulk. Take short steps to improve your relationships and let life problems magically pass by while you hold on to your relationship.


Improving relationships require knowing what to do and how to do it. If you follow some tried and true tips, it is possible you can also improve your relationships.

Young Love?

Here in the western world we are obsessed with youth. Our media is saturated with images of the young, beautiful and happy selling us products on the back of the promise that we will become like them if we should only buy this face cream or that car or this insurance policy. The fantastic and circular equation this fallacy is based on seems to be that youth=beauty=success=desirability=love=happiness=youth etc. One only has to look at our icons of romance to see the indelible link between youth and romance. In fact, two of our most famous romantic icons, Juliet and Pocahontas (as lauded by Peggy Lee in the classic love song 'Fever') were so young at the time of embarking on their turbulent romances that they would not, today, be considered of legal age. In amongst all this, ne could easily be left with the impression that beyond the age of thirty, all hope for romance is lost.

Happily this is not so! Our senior citizens are getting involved in the dating game in their droves. Actually in all probability they have been doing it for years but the older generation, certainly in Britain, are renowned for their discretion almost to the point of coyness. Luckily for social analysts and writers like myself, a convergence of recent phenomena makes it possible to now gain a much fuller impression of just what our seniors are getting up to!

Recent years have seen an explosion in the number of 'silver surfers', that is to say people of retirement age or above who are web literate to a greater or lesser extent and are making regular use of the Internet. The same period has seen a rapid growth in the online dating industry. The result of these two phenomena is that we can see quite plainly, looking at the figures, that it's definitely not just the young folks who are looking for love online. A recent study carried out by my company revealed over 14,000 active dating site users over the age of 65 compared to an average age group membership of just over 25,000. With numbers like this it's understandable that seniors are regarded as an important demographic by us in the online dating industry and hardly surprising that classes in Internet dating are springing up at places like the Pleasant Hill Senior Centre in Contra Costa, California.

With a population that is increasingly ageing as the baby boom generation reach their 60s and take a greater knowledge and awareness of current and developing technologies into their later years, it can only be expected that this phenomenon will increase. And so it should be! Why should the spring chickens get a monopoly on the joys of spring?

True love is something that can happen.

True love is something that can happen no matter the circumstances of the situation. Whether you are a poor beggar boy chasing after the heart of a princess, a chivalrous and courageous Knight immensely in love with the queen that you've vowed protection to, or whether your families are hated enemies of one another, it is possible for love to take root and blossom. It also could be the simple attraction to what we cannot have, the forbidden. Regardless of the reason, love of these kinds has spawned off wonderful and inspirational stories. Stories about such couples as Aladdin, Sir Lancelot, Romeo and their lovely ladies have all helped to keep the dream alive. It is the dream that love, although forbidden, or seemly impossible, with great sacrifice is achievable.

"I can show you the world shining, shimmering, splendid. Tell me princess, when was the last time you let your heart decide?" Aladdin and Jasmine will forever be remembered by their magical carpet ride across the night sky, through the clouds, and over the lighted desert city of Agrabah. This Middle-Eastern based romance is only a cartoon, but it does illustrate clearly the aspect of forbidden love. Aladdin, a poor beggar boy from the streets of Agrabah, wished to prove to everyone that he was much more than what they thought he was, a "street rat." One day, he helped a young girl in the market place and he began to fall in love with her, not realizing her true identity in the beginning. The young girl in actuality is none other than the princess of his kingdom, Princess Jasmine, and fortunately for him she returned his love. Although the princess could only wed a royal suitor, Aladdin believed that someday he would be able to have his princess. As luck would have it, a mysterious old man took him to the incredible Cave of Wonders, in search of a magical lamp. Aladdin used this lamp to free the genie inside. With the help of the genie, Aladdin was able to save his kingdom from impending doom. This act off goodness convinced the Sultan that Aladdin was a worthy suitor for his daughter Jasmine.

King, Queens, and Knights in shining armor are all that a great epic romance needs to be successful. One such story is that of Sir Lancelot and his love affair with the very queen he swore protection to, Queen Guinevere. Guinevere was the beloved queen of King Arthur, the founder of Camelot. As the champion of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere and premiere Knight of Arthur's court, Lancelot was an unstoppable warrior. He almost never met defeat and quickly defeated all comers in or out of armor and regardless of the number of his foes. However, he was defeated, but only by the power of love. He was unable to control his love for the queen of Camelot and she returned his love, making it harder for either of them to deny it. They felt this love so strongly for each other they were willing to destroy all that King Arthur had worked for during his entire life, just so they could be together. Lancelot was Arthur's best friend and most trusted knight, and Guinevere was his wife and his queen, yet they continued their relationship together. Camelot fell, as they knew it would, and feeling the guilt of it, Guinevere and Lancelot decided they must separate. Lancelot became a monk and lived as a penitent until his death, and Guinevere did nearly the same. She went to a nunnery spending the rest of her life in repentance and serving God, hoping for forgiveness for what she and Lancelot had done. An unfortunate end to such a romance, but a tragedy such as this immortalizes the tale for all of history and the days that precede it.

"Oh Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet. `Tis only thy name that is my enemy. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet must be the most famous romantic couple of all time. Their love was forbidden by social status. Their families did more than not approve of their love for each other; the Montagues and the Capulets were archenemies. Even though centuries of hate ran through their blood, the love of their hearts cleansed the hatred with every beat. It is sad their lives would not last as long as their love. Romeo, hearing that Juliet was dead, went to see for himself and he found it to be true. He soon killed himself beside her body, not wanting to live another moment on this earth without his beloved Juliet. After he died Juliet awoke from her induced comatose-like sleep to find Romeo committed suicide because he thought she was really dead. Juliet, overwhelmed with remorse for causing the death of her lover, killed herself as well. Both Romeo and Juliet choose not to live life without the other.

These tales are only a few examples of forbidden love. It is not that clear whether any of these stories are fiction or non-fiction, but one thing is for certain, many people experience forbidden love like this. Love finds a way and with that thought, cannot be erased by laws or rules. It is the fabric that never fades, no matter how often it is washed in the waters of grief. Love is the power that motivates hope, and hope is what makes us live today as if tomorrow were yesterday. Aladdin and Jasmine, Sir Lancelot and Lady Guinevere, and Romeo and Juliet all saw this and chased their love and proved that even the most forbidden of loves is possible as long as they are willing to sacrifice.

Free 5 Relationship Dating Techniques

"How can I get a date?" This has been an age-old question for single, lonely men and women throughout the ages. And, let's face it - we have all asked ourselves this question at one point or another. Everyone faces a time in their lives when they have trouble hooking up with that right person for a date.
When you are looking for a date, it can feel like everyone but you has someone. And - it may even seem like certain other men or women you know have got some special "something" that makes it easy for them to get dates. The good news is, relationship dating techniques are very learnable, and anyone can do it if you have the right guidance.
Here are 5 relationship dating techniques that will put you in the position to hook up with that desirable somebody in no time:



1. Fish where the fish are:
There is an old saying among fishermen: fish where the fish are. In the world of dating, of course, this translates to: spend time and hang out where the desirable men and women are. This may sound obvious, but many people ignore this advice completely. They spend time alone on Saturday nights with a book, watching favorite TV shows, or surfing the Internet. Of course, that is the safest option for spending Saturday night. Trouble is, it is guaranteed not to net you a date. Instead, spend time where there are a lot of desirable potential mates hanging around. Could a bookstore, could be a bar, could be church - or even a rave. It doesn't matter where you go, just as long as you put yourself where the fish are.
2. Get involved:
If you are like most people, you have settled into a routine that goes something like this: go to work/school, come home, engage in TV/Internet, go to bed . . . [repeat pattern next day]. Chances are you, if you think real hard, you will remember of a few hobbies that you used to love - or that you don't spend enough time doing. The point is: zero in on what these hobbies are - these things you love to do - and find a way to do engage in them that can involve other people. Try online sites like MeetUp to get you away from your computer and in the presence of other who love what you love. Interested people are inherently more attractive than are people stuck in a rut. With just a little effort, you will find yourself in the midst of a bunch of potential mates. And, in the meantime, you will have rekindled your passion for life.
3. Tap friends and family for an introduction:
If you are fortunate enough to have at least one good friend or family member in this world, congratulations, you have a network (if not, revisit #2 above and you soon will). That means that it is highly likely that they know someone (who knows someone, etc.) who is great dating material. So, don't be shy: leverage your personal contacts and ask them for an introduction to someone they think might be a love connection for you. What's the worst that can happen? If you strike out on the blind date(s) they set you up on, you now have some more dating experience under your belt for next time.
4. Get a dog and take it for walks:
As common wisdom dictates, dogs and babies are great conversation starters. That is why it is so easy to meet other people at a dog park if you have a dog, and it's the same reason why mothers find it so easy to hook up with other moms in their area. Try borrowing a friend's dog or signing up to be a part-time professional dog walker. I guarantee that your dog will be a conversation starter. This is a great way to practice your communication skills, and it just might land you a date. (And, if you are a single parent, try joining a parent/child group in your area).
5. Put your most attractive self forward:
Many lonely single people resist putting too much effort into coming across and looking their best. This, of course, is a mistake if you want to get a date. Every time you leave your house, make sure you are clean, smelling good, and wearing clothes that make you look your best. If you are woman, try giving men a little eye contact now and again. If you are a man, project the right balance between cool confidence and humility. Put forth your best side and the best sides of others will be reflected back at you.
A parting thought: some lonely, single people harbor a flawed-but-understandable way of thinking that says, "If I risk and fail I will end up looking and feeling bad, but if I don't try at all I have no chance of failing." This type of thinking leads to inaction, and inaction is the greatest enemy of people looking for a date.

Free 4 Tips for Keeping Good Online Conversation Going with Women

When you make contact with an interesting woman online, you want to keep the communication going. Some people have a hard time knowing what to say and how to make sure that the exchanges remain interesting.
The main goal is to find a common interest or something that you both can agree upon. This could be any kind of interest, cars, exercise, family, school, the list could go on forever. From there you just need to keep communicating with her, with the intention of keeping the affinity high between the two of you.
Here are four tips that will help you accomplish that.
1. Read her profile. Get a feel for who she is, what she likes, what she does not like. Try to find something you have in common with her or something about her that interests you and makes you curious.
Women like to talk about whatever is their passion. If you can pinpoint what she really likes and just question her about it, she will be more than happy to keep exchanging emails with you and telling you what she thinks.
If you have the same interests, that's even better. Then you can tell her your own thoughts. At that moment, you've got two people exchanging ideas about something they both like, which certainly will keep the conversation going and also will increase the affinity between the two of you.
2. Express opinions that both of you can agree with. When you begin to exchange messages with a woman, it is not a good idea to express opinions that you know she might not agree with. Since she does not know you yet, she might like you a little less for it and may not feel as strong a connection with you. For this reason, she might not reply to your messages.
For example, if you are a smoker, you might want to wait a bit before you talk to her about it. Some women are turned off by smokers. If you tell her before you have found some interests or similarities between the two of you, she might not want to pursue things further. However, if you communicate with her and she begins to like you, then she might not mind and may keep talking to you even when she finds out you are a smoker.
Take another example: If you find out from her profile that she is a vegetarian, you might want to wait a bit before you tell her how much you like your meat cooked rare.
This does not mean that your opinions cannot differ from hers, but as you begin getting to know her, you want to keep the attraction between you as positive as possible. One way to do this is to keep talking about opinions that she can agree with.
3. Be positive. Negativity turns women off, more so if you have just begun interacting with her. When you first start communicating, you want to be positive. For example, don't start to tell her how much you hate cheaters, smokers, or people who are not punctual. Even if she agrees, she might not like the negative attitude you take when expressing your opinion.
There are always ways to turn your negativity into an equivalent opinion that is positive. For example, instead of expressing how much you hate and are frustrated by cheaters, or how angry you would be if someone cheated on you, talk to her about all the positive points of having a faithful relationship.
4. Make it easy for her to reply. After you compose your message, read it again and make sure it will be easy for her to reply to you. To do this, add several questions that will encourage her to write back.
The goal when you begin to communicate with a woman online is to create an attraction. You want her to like you, and you also want to like her.
One way to do this is to find something about her that you will interest you to hear about, or something that both of you will enjoy talking about. From there, you just keep exchanging thoughts with her while keeping things positive. Be sure to make it easy for her to "talk" to you, and you are on your way to making many friends on the Internet.

Online Dating: Free 6 Tips for Picking an Attractive Nickname

A nickname is an alias you use on dating websites to identify yourself to other members. All other members in the chat room and exchanging email with you will know you by that nickname, at least at first. Your nickname represents you throughout the website.
For this reason, you should spend some time choosing a good one. Here are six tips for men who want to choose a nickname that is attractive in women's eyes.
1. Do not choose something about sex. You will not attract women by picking a nickname about sex. You will basically just be wasting your time. Things like "Bob_69U" are a no-no.
2. Do not choose something violent. Do not choose anything that hints at any kind of hatred or violence. There is no room on dating websites for that sort of thing anyway, and women are not looking for people who talk about violence or hatred.
3. Do not choose something negative. Negativity is not attractive to women, or to anyone for that matter. Women just don't respond well to negativity, and if she's a woman who does, then you might not want to be in a relationship with her anyway.
4. Do choose something that describes you. Take some time to think about who you are. Ask your friends what they like about you. Look at yourself through someone else's eyes. Use that information to pick a nickname.
For example, if you are an airplane pilot, you could choose "AutoPilot." If you like to run marathons, you could choose "ActiveRunner."
5. Do choose something that you are looking for. If you are looking to raise a family, you could choose something like "FamilyGuy." Think about what you want in life and what kind of women you like. What qualities and values are you looking for? Write them down on a piece of paper, then use them to inspire your nickname.
6. Do be creative. Spend some time finding a nickname that is unique. If your nickname is already taken and you need to put a number at the end to be able to use it, then it is probably not original enough.
"BlueEyes," "BrownHair," or "TallMan" are all descriptive but not unique, they will not help you to stand out. If you want to highlight your height, for example, you could choose "ColossalAtHeart." If environmental issues are important to you, you could pick "BlueEarth."
What's important about choosing your nickname is to find a benign term that has something to do with you. Spend some time brainstorming. Write on a piece of paper all ideas that come to mind, whether they are good, bad, stupid, funny, or dull, until you find one that really makes you think, "OK, that's the one."
Having a good nickname on a dating website might not sound like the most important thing, but it does represent you right from the start. If you are serious about finding a good woman for a long-term relationship or even for a casual date, you should spend the time required to make it happen. You have to choose a nickname anyway, so you might as well do it right.
I remember having a woman tell me that the reason she emailed a man was because of his nickname. That's how they started their online relationship, by becoming friends after a conversation about the name he chose.

Free Tips for Successful Online Dating

First you need to get replies to your emails and messages. To do this here are some tips you may find helpful:-

Think about how your profile is written. Ensure there are NO spelling mistakes in your My Own Words section and your emails and messages. This is the first important rule.
Keep your description short but be completely honest. If you are not being truthful then when you meet, you will be discovered, if not before.
Add fun and humor to your profile, and don't be too serious at first.
Don't be afraid to state who you wish to meet and why. Most adults know the kind of person they are attracted to, even if they are not sure why.
Tell people what you like and perhaps things you don't. Don't be offensive though.

Take your time, you can edit your profile at any time. Change it occasionally to keep it fresh, and try to be original.Add photos to your profile. We find that DCL members with a photo can get anything up to 10 times the amount of replies, in comparison with those that do not include one.Be polite with messaging, and don’t make judgments about the length of time to get a reply.Please don’t feel you need to block someone just because they are too busy to chat this time. Be cool.

Keep your first email short and to the point, perhaps humorous and interesting. Don't include too much detail at this point, and just a few things that you have in common. Make the email talkative and allow it to flow. Don't be too serious at this stage or too emotional.Do NOT include you personal details in an introduction email. Leave that until a relationship is established, and you feel very comfortable with the other person.

Try and contact a few people at the same time, but always those who you have matched, not those who you have nothing in common with as they will not welcome your contact.Be honest and stick to the truth. It is all too easy to add things that at this stage are not checkable. However, you may get caught out later and ruin a fantastic friendship or romance.

Always reply quite quickly to any messages.Don't talk about money or possessions at this time. Most people like or love someone for who they are, not what they have. We assume you do not want to find someone who simply wants you for what you can provide.Do not apply any form of pressure in an email, whether it be for a reply or a meeting. Do not be critical of their profile or photo. This will create a negative response.Okay, so once you have mailed other members and are receiving their emails, then you may wish to consider the following:-

Ensure Your Privacy is Protected
The information you supply when you register at Devil Called Love is completely confidential. Your registration details are kept secret from all members and under no circumstances are made available to any third party.No one will ever ask you for your password. They must NOT use your contact or email details for marketing purposes. Any member who matches you in their searches can only see what you have told them in terms of your personal profile, nothing more. Remember

Not to include your actual email address or telephone number in the text of your profile or in emails unless you are sure that you would like to take your friendship further. We can not access your emails and do not have any control on what information you supply to another member. If someone you are in contact with is not giving much away then perhaps you should err on the side of caution.

Listen to Your Intuition

Often overlooked I feel. This is the thing we all use on a daily basis and we all trust our intuition often. It’s easy to get carried away when someone appears to be interested. Remember the rule, if you suspect something, you are probably correct.Trust your judgment. Listen to what you are being told. Ask many questions. Don't give too many details away if the other person tells you very little. If someone is being honest, they will be happy to tell you about themselves and their lives.

A key point is to make sure that you are enjoying your online dating. Never ever let someone pressure you. If you don't want to explain something or provide certain details then do not. A real friend will behave in a patient and relaxed way. After receiving an email, sit back and think about what you are being told, take your time and try and sense the person behind the email. And read their profile thoroughly.

When the Time Comes

At some point you may wish to meet in person the friend you have made. Remember the rule, you only have to meet someone if you really want to. If you feel uncomfortable about meeting, then don't agree to meet. Even if you have agreed, you can change your mind whenever you like. Perhaps you need to chat for longer, perhaps it would be better to use the phone first. Do not give out your home number, address, or personal details unless you are sure about the person you wish to meet.If you do decide it's time to take your friendship a step further, then here are some things to think about. It may save you a great deal of time and effort: -

Ask yourself these questions:

Do you feel you know the person well?Have they answered all your question?Are they patient, good humored and fun?Do you trust them?Have they applied any pressure on you?Do you know what they do for a living, and the area they live in?Do you know about their background and family?Have you seen their photo and have you more than one photo of them in different situations?Have you spoken on the phone?Are you sure they have described themselves truthfully?

If you can answer YES to these happily then maybe it is time to meet. Only you can decide that. Think about these general dating rules, and act upon them if you think they are a good idea :-

Tell a person close to you about the meeting. Tell them where you are going, when you are meeting them, where the meeting will take place, what time you will be returning. Give a person close to you as much information as you can. If you have a mobile phone or are close to a pay phone then perhaps call to say you are fine and that everything is great.

Agree to meet in a public place first. Perhaps a restaurant or bar or somewhere where there are plenty of other people. Agree to meet somewhere that you know, in familiar surroundings where you can relax and enjoy the meeting. You could arrange to have other friends in the same place but at a distance, so you feel more relaxed.Do not agree to be collected from work or home, and make your own way there and home on the first occasion. Perhaps get a friend to take you there and collect you afterwards.

Restrict the time of the first meeting. Perhaps a lunch hour or a short time after work. This is useful if you decide that the situation is not favorable and you need to leave.

If at any point you wish to leave then do so. Do not feel obliged to stay and find yourself feeling awkward. If you do not feel relaxed then you will not enjoy the date. You owe it to yourself to feel happy and relaxed, and it is possible that it may take a few meetings with different people before you find that special person.

Long Distance Relationships

Online Dating through sites like Devil Called Love means that you can easily meet people from all over the world. This is a fantastic way of dating and perhaps very soon you may find yourself emotionally involved with someone who lives a long way away.

Perhaps that may be part of the attraction even. However you should try and be practical. If the person lives overseas then ask yourself the question as to are you serious that you will travel a long way to see that person? If you do travel and find yourself more than happy, then how easy will it be to keep up the relationship? If you are content with this situation, and you decide to meet then there are some other things you may wish to consider:

ALWAYS stay in a hotel you have arranged yourself, and never stay at their accommodation, however generous. This will allow you both to feel less pressure, to relax into the situation and find some common ground. You may have both made promises in mail or on the phone that may be harder to keep once a meeting has occurred. If possible, arrange the hotel in a secure area of the city you are visiting, and arrange the hotel yourself. It's always easier to escape a date that's not going well, when not staying with them.

Provide the details of your hotel and travel arrangements to a best friend at home, and make an arrangement to contact them when you arrive, after you have met your new friend and when you are returning. Take a mobile phone if possible and keep in contact.

Always be cautious if in any doubt, and never be uncomfortable about changing your mind and returning home at any time should the situation cause you any concern.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line? Be yourself and enjoy your dating. We know that online dating can be great fun, safe and immensely enjoyable. We have found that as long as the basic precautions are followed, then it is possible to travel locally, or indeed, anywhere in the world to meet a special partner or make new friends.

The beauty of dating online is that the whole world is open to allow you to meet fantastic new people. Just use a little intuition and common sense. We hope you don't mind us offering some basic tips and wish you every success.

Free Casually Date Tips

There will probably come a time when you’re dating a girl and start to become torn as to whether you want to continue to see her as a casual date or have her become your girlfriend. You know you like being with her and always have a great time. Yet, you’re not sure if you’re ready to “take the plunge” and commit to just one girlfriend. Sound familiar?While it can be frustrating to decide which way to go, it is worth taking the time to make a smart decision. After all, you don’t want to lose a good thing or lose your opportunity to see what else is out there, right?

With that in mind, a good way to decide is to make a list or pros and cons about the girl you’re interested in. Also make sure to add asterisks next the points that are highly valuable to you.There are clear advantages and disadvantages to committing vs. being alone.When you’re alone, you have the freedom to do as you wish. You can date and have sex with as many women as you like. If you’re not getting along with one of them, you can choose to just not see them again. There’s a level of excitement to pursue whomever you wish. You’re free to go to strip clubs whenever you want. You don’t have to answer to anybody and you can kick girls out after sex. However, there are disadvantages to casually dating: it can get lonely without a mate, especially during the holiday season.

You don’t have that “special somebody” to just call and say “hi.” When you have events to go to for work or parties, you have to keep finding “dates” to accompany you. If you’re having a bad day, there’s not that “special someone” who can confide in. Plus, it’s fun going to bed with that special someone and waking up with them to laugh and giggle together.Now, let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of committing.When you’re committed to someone, you no longer have the freedom to do as you wish as far as having sex with girls. The only thing you can do – if anything – is just look at girls from afar. How do you feel about that? However, what you do have in a committed relationship is a trusted friend who can become your closest friend: someone to go to after a long, hard day at work. It’s also great to have a guaranteed companion no matter where you go.

Plus, you’ll probably save money on dating since you won’t be seeing other people & hopefully split the cost of dinner and movies with your new girlfriend. Of course, the downside to committing is you now have to consider someone else beside yourself. And when you’re with just one person, the sex can become boring pretty fast. And then of course, there’s the fighting and disagreements, which can really suck.But most men overall are happier with a partner than without. In fact, there was once a study done about happiness. And believe it or not, it said that married men are generally happier than single men.I can tell you from past experience that this is true. When I’m with someone in a committed relationship, I’m generally a calmer person and more satisfied with life. Of course, not everyone is wired for relationships and prefer to just be a player for life, which is fine.Only you know for sure whether you’re better off casually dating or committing. The bottom line: are you better off with this girl in your life or without?

Free Tips on Setting Goals To Find A Romantic Relationship

As you spend another Saturday night glued to the television, don’t expect Mr. or Mrs. Right to walk through the screen. Without setting goals to locate the love of your life, you'll continue to remain lonely until you put your best foot forward by outlining a plan for success. One of the best ways to open new doors for relationships is to seek out situations that add a little spice in your life.
It is highly suggested that you work on personal development and exercise better social skills that allows you to meet a fresh crop of good friends who may later turn into great companions and lovers. Below you will find a few suggestions on how to set goals for romantic relationship searching:


1) Look Around You
One of the most common ways that people forge new friendships is by tapping into their own cluster of close friends and family members, as their immediate social connections can provide a gateway to a whole new dating pool. You never know when you will find the next love of your life by asking your best friends, siblings, co-workers, and neighbors if they know of any single, available friends. You'd be surprised how many people have found husbands and wives in a blind date.
2) Join a Social Group
Make it a point to seek out a social group or "club" that shares the same interests as you. The advantage of joining this sort of "community" is that whoever is a part of the group already shares something in common with you, which makes for great conversation. This is one of the easiest ways to never run out of things to say because you will always have a platform of discussion to rely on.
Many people develop love interests within these types of groups, which often meet on a regular basis. Today, a wide-range of social groups exist, including interests regarding sports, theater shows, politics, scrap booking, photography, and gardening. In many cities, bereavement meetings have served as an effective way for widowers and widows to find a new lease on life.
3) Get Active for a Cause
The passion and intensity in fighting for a cause or volunteering your time with a charity is a good quality to find in a companion. Usually, those who are active in such activities are kind, compassionate, thoughtful, and motivated. When you share this same drive – sky is the limit for you and a new romantic interest. Whether you wish to save the rainforests, cure cancer, fight pollution, or eradicate illiteracy, this same determination can be used to forge a long-lasting bond with another. There are plenty of ways to fulfill this goal, as many clubs, not-for-profit groups, organizations, charities, and churches are situated in every hometown.
4) Be Patient
New relationships, especially the kind that end in romance take time to cultivate and although the process seems to take longer than you would like – you must stay realistic in your goals for finding love. It's not uncommon to experience a long stretch of time before meeting up with a worthy candidate. Also, once you find a satisfying friendship, it is important not to rush into or force a romantic relationship.
