Online dating tips - Cupid OK

What woman doesn't want to be treated to a little romance every once in a while? Many women will agree that romance is all about the details. Small gestures really do make a normal night out into something romantic. So listen up...because these tips will sure earn you some points...

The key to being romantic is thoughtfulness...so start being a little less selfish. Learn that mood, location, situation and ambience can heighten romance with dramatic effect. Anticipate her desires and needs. Look at your partner when they are talking and hold their gaze.

Phone just to say hello, I love you and give your partner a nice surprise. Send them notes and small cards telling them you are thinking of them. Be spontaneous and do little deeds that show you care. Bring home take out from their favourite restaurant or take them to their favourite ice cream shop. Flowers are always a nice touch at any time of year. Be creative and pick out their favorite colors and types for a personal touch. Remember birthdays, anniversaries and landmark days such as the day you first met or first kissed, and plan something...maybe a return to the first date location. Listen to clues that your partner might drop, such as their favorite dessert or books they like, and surprise them with little gifts.

Learn how to hug, cuddle and make physical contact. Dance together when the occasion arises. Hold hands and do anything to make your partner feel close to you.

Write him/her a letter and let them know that you love them and you mean it. Use nice stationary, or make your own card, which shows thought and inspiration.

In terms of dates, learn how to cook your partner's favorite dish. Plan a surprise candlelit dinner followed by a romantic movie. Take your partner on a picnic to the park or beach and prepare in advance without involving them. This initiative is very romantic.

If you are like most men, you're not too keen on the fascinating world of dating where anything goes. Perhaps you experienced being rejected once too many times or you simply become jaded from a couple of unsuccessful relationships. You lose interest, or worse, your self-confidence declines. Most men struggle to maintain an alluring appearance in hopes of reeling in an attractive woman, but if you lack the charm, confidence, and wit to go with your well-dressed image, you're definitely headed towards a huge disappointment. Hence, you managed to approach a woman, but you just can't find the right words to say. Alternatively, you were able to lure an attractive woman at one point, but the name of the game is keeping her interested and coming back for more until you successfully engage in a meaningful relationship.

Have you ever seen an unattractive, stocky man with a hot babe? You're wondering how that person was able to captivate such a beautiful lady with his appearance. The bottom line is while looks play a significant factor in the art of attraction, establishing "game" promotes your chances of conquering the woman of your dreams. In other words, it's all in the attitude.

Here are some fabulous tips on attracting women from the online dating site MillionaireCupid.com.

Tip: When you meet someone new for the first time, try to spark up a conversation by making some general statements. For example, if you meet her at a work function or wedding, say something in reference to the hostess, food, venue, or anything you both can relate to. Once she's engaged, avoid chatting about politics, religion, or anything controversial. Remember, you want to keep it light and breezy. Your aim is to get to know her and not to impress her with your intelligence and success as you may appear to be cocky. Most women shy away from arrogant men.

Tip: Give her attention, but don't overindulge. It's no secret that women love to get showered with attention and affection. You should pay her a compliment, say something sweet, and show interest by asking questions; but don't overdo it. When you're not together physically, make it a point to contact her, but remember not to overindulge. If you do, her appreciation for your efforts will slowly diminish.

Tip: Try to maintain a good level of confidence by honing in on your positive qualities and accomplishments. If you do, you'll certainly improve your level of confidence which will translate to charm and wit. Your choice of words and ability to add humor to the conversation will become effortless.

Tip: Men are considered the stronger between the sexes. Generally speaking, women are turned on by strong men. Don't you ever wonder why women are attracted to men in uniform? It's because men who typically wear uniform represent a career which involves saving lives. Thus, saving lives equals strength. So, don't be shy to reveal your stronger side either from a physical or emotional standpoint.

Tip: Attempt to maintain a sense of mystery. You should disclose certain things about yourself to her, but do it gradually and in small proportions. This will keep her guessing and motivated to see you again and again in an effort to learn more about you. Remaining mysterious to a woman can be challenging.

While these approaches seem difficult, it's all in the act of conditioning your mind and developing a "game" plan for yourself. Of course, everybody has different angles, so step into the dating scene and cultivate your own style that's compatible with your personality.

It's officially true: You can find anything online. A llama up for adoption. A wallpaper hanger who sings Puccini while he works. A spirit medium for hire. And yes, even romance.

It's hard to remember a time before online dating existed. Still, many people are wary of it and prefer to meet people the "old-fashioned" way. In bars; blind dates set up by a well-meaning coworker who pities you for being alone; serendipitously getting into a fender-bender with the love of your life. But what if you hate the bar scene, don't trust your coworker's judgment and have a good driving record? Looking for dating material online might not be a bad idea. And, as with most new pursuits, it makes sense to have a plan.

Find a reputable dating site.

The best sites keep their members' identities (including e-mail addresses) anonymous, unless the member chooses to share that info with a prospective date. This is important, since you don't want to share too much about yourself (especially your physical address, for crying out loud!) with someone you literally don't know. Be wary of free sites, since they usually don't offer any identity protection and don't have a way of screening their members.

Also, avoid committing to a long-term contract with a dating site. You should be able to choose what type of package you're interested in, and one of those options should be month-to-month membership. After all, if you end up with a bad vibe about the site (or, if you meet someone you flip head-over-heels for), you should have the option of canceling your membership when the month's up.

Be clear about what you're looking for in a date.

There are plenty of twenty-year-olds out there who pick a different date every weekend. They're not thinking about life after the first date. (Oh, to be 20 again!) But, depending on your age and how you envision the rest of your life, you might not want to date people just for the "fun" of it. (After all, if you've got kids or if you've been through a tough divorce, dating might not seem like loads of joy, but more like a necessary evil.)

While relationships are hard work and require time and energy, you don't owe prospective dates that level of commitment. Therefore, you certainly shouldn't resign yourself to wasting lots of time on people you don't even know yet. Your time is valuable and you can save yourself needless waste if you're clear about what you're looking for in a relationship and if you stick to it. Make sure your potential love interest meets your specific date-worthy criteria before you expend dating time on him/her.

Don't waffle about the most important things in your life. For example, if you have four cats you absolutely adore and he happens to hate cats ever since witnessing an unfortunate event involving a zoo tiger, then you might want to end things now, at a friendly e-mail adieu. If you want children someday and she's adamant about leaving the world's population right where it is, don't waste your time on "seeing where it leads," because you'll end up at an impasse that's too important to compromise on.

Don't believe everything you read.

Online dating is a godsend for very shy people who can't walk into a room and strike up a conversation with a perfect stranger. However, people can hide behind their computer screens and spin glorious lies about themselves. They can become someone or something they're not.

Dating itself is a leap of faith, no matter how you meet someone. And at some point, if your intuition tells you it's right, you'll want to take that leap of faith. But take everything with a grain of salt, and expect some "résumé padding" in the online profiles you're reading. (Heck, you might do some padding yourself, and not even really notice it!)

Dating someone new involves putting our best feet forward. And that means people pretend, and try to be not only their best selves, but the selves they wish they were. Keep this in mind, especially when all you've got to go on so far are some words on a monitor. True, at a bar or at singles night they can pretend, too. But in person, although they can still spin fictitious degrees or accomplishments, they can't claim to be 6'5" with a full head of hair if everything points to the opposite. This shouldn't convince you to spend the rest of your Friday nights with Law and Order and a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia. Just be aware of the common tendency for people to fudge the truth while they try to appeal to others.

Exchange photos.

Okay, so you like everything you've read about him, you like what he's said, and you both seem to be on the same page about life's major points. That should do it, right? Wrong. Not yet. There's no accounting for chemistry, that tricky, fickle force that transcends reason and rationality. Insist on a picture. You might see the picture and just know you can't get excited over him physically. That doesn't make you shallow or superficial—it makes you human. Beauty truly is subjective and in the eye of the beholder. And, as the beholder, you owe yourself a first glance before you're sitting across from a table from him. Trust me—you'll be glad you did.

Don't rush the first meeting.

Be very afraid if the person you're corresponding with is chomping at the bit for a quick meeting. S/he may not really want to "date" per se, but may have something very different in mind. (As in, "It's 2am, I'll let myself out…oh, and don't call me, I'll call you.") If you feel bullied at this early stage, what would a full-blown relationship be like with this person? Besides, undue pressure should raise caution flags. If s/he evinces anger or frustration about you proceeding with appropriate caution (except they call it "dragging your feet"), there may be a dangerous reason for that, a reason you don't want to find out about later, when you're vulnerable. Nix it now.

Consider talking on the phone first.

E-mail is great because you can sense a lot about someone by how they express themselves via the written word, by what they choose to say or to leave out. However, although writing can show you things, it can also cover up others (not to mention she may be having her roommate, a skilled novelist type "her" responses). When people have time to reflect and be selective (versus the quick give-and-take of a verbal conversation), it's easier to be evasive. Add the voice to the picture; if you like how s/he is conversationally, if you appreciate the sense of humor (which is not always as apparent in e-mail), and if you FEEL TOTALLY COMFORTABLE, proceed to the next step.

Meet in a safe, public, populated place.

I.e., not a park after sundown or an alley between an abandoned warehouse and an ancient barbershop. Don't automatically trust this person. People should earn your trust. (For example, beware of a tell-tale tan line on the ring finger!) No matter how much you believe everything s/he has said and no matter how gentle and docile the picture portrays this person (remember: you still don't know that picture is really a picture of the person behind the e-mails and the profile), you need to think of yourself first. So pick a safe place to meet. A place where the parking lot is nearby and well-lit. Let a friend know about the details of this meeting and when you anticipate it ending. Have that friend call and check in at some point.

No matter how we hem and haw and gripe about the hazards of dating, most of us want to be in a relationship and realize dating is the first step. In this technologically-rich age, it makes sense to use the Internet to your advantage. But it also makes sense to apply planning and foresight so that your experience with meeting people in cyberspace doesn't end in a mangled connection.

You're both work 40 hours or more a week. You spend time with your kids, fight the good fight against traffic everyday, and manage to handle all of those unexpected problems that crop up. By weeks end you're tired. No, not just tired, you're too numb to do anything but prepare yourself to do it all over again. Oh sure, you have a few leftover hours free here and there, but definitely not nearly enough time to devote to your personal relationship, let alone sex life, right?

Wrong!!!

Guess what. Being romantic and intimate with your significant other doesn't require massive amounts of time. Dating expert from Millionairecupid.com explained. Hey, truth be told, it doesn't even require a whole lot of thought or planning. With only a little bit of effort and desire, you can give your love life a big, pleasurable boost. How little an effort? Well, if you can spare at least 2 measly hours a week,  you can go from zero to sixty just like that! It's true. Check out these 5 quick tips to learn how.

5 Quick Steps to Romance:

Before you start, please note the following: All list time frames can be adjusted to suit.

Day 1.) Wednesday

Activity: My Treat Night

Time Frame: 15 Minutes

The schedule begins on Wednesday night (just a suggestion) because for most couples/parents, Monday and Tuesday are notoriously hectic. As the week progresses, things tend to settle down for most of us.

While family dinners do help us stay connected (if we have children), adult need together time just as much! Also, the 15 minutes listed for this exercise is an approximation for the ordering time, not eating time.

Since we all generally eat dinner anyway, doing so with your loved one should not stretch your schedule too much.

Suggestions:

• Take turns. If he picks up dinner the first time, she should the next.

• Keep it within budget. You don't have to break the bank.

• Be creative. While you may love Chinese, must you always choose Chinese? • Be open-minded. Maybe you won't like sushi the first time (or any time at all). Still, can you really be sure if you never try it. Rejecting your spouse's selections out of hand without foreknowledge can be as insulting as not giving him or her a choice to begin with.

Day 2.): Thursday

Activity: "Movie"/ "Play" Night

Time Frame: 30 Minutes

Okay, we know you're not going to watch a typical movie in 30 minutes. This activity is named movie because those of you lucky enough to have the time, could in fact go this route. However, with the proposed time frame in mind, you should concentrate instead on sitcoms, books, games, the news, etc. We're going for variety here.

Suggestions:

• Go outside of the box. Pick something new and different. You could choose to watch a new show, to read a new book or a section of the newspaper to each other, to discuss current events, to solve a jigsaw puzzle, etc.

• The fresher the idea, the more intriguing it will be.

• Expand yourselves. You can both learn more about yourselves and each other if you do.

Day 3.): Friday

Activity: Gift Exchanges

Time Frame: 15 Minutes

Who doesn't have to go to some sort of department store, grocery store, restaurant, gift shop, etc. during the course of a the work week? Not to mention the amount of time we all spend on-line. It's not necessary for anyone to spend two hours at the mall agonizing over a gift. Let's aim for fun, amusing, cute, cuddly, sexy…you get the drift. Everyone likes to be on the receiving end of gift giving. For most people, it is the thought that counts.

Suggestions:

• If by chance you aren't out and about, do a little online shopping. It's not time consuming, the choices are endless, and you could actually buy a few things ahead of time to have on hand for the appropriate moment.

Day 4.): Saturday

Activity: Bath Time

Time Frame: 30 Minutes

Take turns and do it together. What can be more comforting and sexy as washing each other's backs and…other parts?

Day 5.): Sunday

Activity: Kissing & Touching

Time Frame: 30 Minutes

At week's end, a little affirmation can go a long way. Whether you're curled up together, watching the game or a movie, snuggled up in bed, or stealing time after church/before dinner. Nothing is more intimate, more emotional, or more soothing to both partners than this…well, almost nothing.

Go ahead. For the next couple weeks try making the time to love by using these suggestions. As long as you both keep each other in mind, the romance will come as easily as breathing. Good luck to you both.
