Ten Types of Friends Who Will Ruin Your Relationship

November 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Are there friends of yours that can actually affect the success of your relationship? According to Matthew Lynch, columnist for The Huffington Post, the answer is yes…10 of them!

…All is fair in love and war. Over the past 15 years, I have been in several relationships and they have ended for a variety of reasons. One of the avoidable hindrances to relationships may be the company you keep. Essentially we would like to believe that our friends have our best interest at heart, especially when they offer advice or listen to our relationship issues. In many cases, this could not be further from the truth. If we are honest with ourselves, we all have or have had friends that fit that profile.

These kinds of friends tend to have ulterior motives. This includes platonic friends who have been in our lives since forever or friends who could possibly be romantically interested in us. Although they genuinely care, the heart wants what the heart wants. Thus, they unconsciously or consciously sabotage your relationship. Let’s not forget about the ex that lingers around hoping to get a second chance. Now don’t get me wrong, it is human nature to seek out counsel in the midst of a storm, but you have to make sure that the individual you seek out has your best interest at heart. It is my hope that by reading this article, you will become equipped with the power of discernment. Without further ado, here is my list of “The 10 Types of Friends Who Will Ruin Your Relationships”…

Do’s and Don’ts of Online Dating: An Open Letter from Women to Men

November 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

According to a recent article I found on the Huffington Post, statistics show there’s a 1 in 33.33 chance an adult will meet his or her partner on an online dating site. With those type of odds, it’s a good idea to know the do’s and don’ts of online dating. Fortunately, Paige Parker from DatingWithoutDrama.com offered up some great do’s and don’ts for men. Here’s a sampling of Paige’s advice:

WRITING YOUR PROFILE

- DO say something about yourself. It makes it impossible to write to you if all you have is a list saying you’re “kind, fun, nice, and want a girl who is attractive and easy-going.” You and everyone else in the world.
- DON’T select “it’s complicated” as a status. Why would I consider meeting a man who is in a situation he can’t end? -EJ

CHOOSING YOUR PHOTO

- Although your mom thinks you are great, DON’T include a photo of you and her. Sweet and endearing as it may appear, it is such a turn off.
- Photos that DON’T impress women include: you and your car, you wedged in between two scantily clad women, you and your ex (even if you think you’ve cleverly cut her out of the photo). -Blossom
- DON’T post webcam photos. A dark picture of you, wearing a gray hoodie scowling at the camera is only going to make me think you are some creep-o unibomber who watches porn at two o’clock in the morning. -tinydancer2009

And, our favorite from the photo category: DON’T send me pics of your penis. Just don’t.

MEETING IN PERSON

- No, we DON’T want to come over to your place on the first date for a “sexy massage.”
- If you’re nervous, DO say so. It’s charming and immediately breaks the ice. I probably am also.
- I DON’T need to hear about the girl in high school who broke your heart and made you scorn all women from then on. You’re 35, get over it. I don’t need to hear about how you have no game and no one will date you. Feign some confidence.

COMMUNICATION

- DON’T come on super strong and then back off.

Can Wearing A Certain Color Really Affect Your Dating Success?

November 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Believe it or not, the color red can! Redeye Chicago takes you deep into the effects this sultry color has on both men and women in the dating world.

You know how bullfighters will use a bright red flag to attract the attention of a bull? Apparently, we humans have a similar reaction to the primary color. And because both men and women have been proven to have psychological and physiological reactions to the color, wearing red might be the simplest, most universal piece of dating advice ever.

Not that you can simply slip on a red sweater and become the most sought after person in the room: your personality is still going to have to do the majority of the work. But for people who live in metropolitan areas, a huge part of the dating game is simply getting up at bat. If you want to ensure that you get noticed in a crowd, might as well use Mother Nature to your benefit.

3 Dating Sites Every Woman Must Join IF She’s Serious About Online Dating

August 25, 2010 By Leave a Comment

How many times have you been on a date and mentioned how much you adore kids, only to hear your date say, “Kids? I can’t stand kids.” For women, this is a deal-breaker. No matter how much you like the guy, if he doesn’t want to have kids, then you might as well end the date right now before it goes any farther, right?

Or, how about this scenario. You’ve been going out with the same guy for about a month now, and it’s starting to get a little serious when over dinner one night you innocently mention how one of your goals is to be the president of the company you’re working for, and he says, “Oh. That’s great. However, I definitely don’t want my future wife to work. She needs to be at home with the kids.” Talk about disappointing…

However, both of the above scenario’s can be prevented by taking one important step. Join eHarmony, Chemistry.com, or PerfectMatch. Why? Because all three of these dating sites require their members to fill out a detailed questionaire that truly gives you an idea of who they really are. If they don’t want kids, you’ll know it. If they want their future wife to be a stay-at-home mom, you’ll know it. If they’re looking for a freckled-faced, red-headed, blue-eyed, tall, slender woman who goes to a Methodist church and enjoys mountain-climbing and gardening, you’ll know it.

Get the picture. If you’re serious about online dating. I mean, if you are truly serious about online dating and are tired of just looking at photos of single men, then eHarmony, Chemistry.com and PerfectMatch are the perfect dating sites for you. Between these three sites, there’s no way you won’t find someone who is perfect for you. Give them a try. We personally know many women who’ve found their steady boyfriends, and soon-to-be husbands on every one of these sites, and we’re confident you can too.
