Ten More Dating Tweets

June 24th, 2009

 

  • What you say is not as important as how you look and how you sound. You must come across as confident, relaxed & friendly.
  • “The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we can never give enough of is love.” Henry Miller
  • Have no expectations so you can shrug off the fear of rejection.
  • Read their body language when you chat to them so you get a feel for what they think of you.
  • Switch off your iPod when you’re out and walk with an open and friendly posture. You’ll be surprised what happens.
  • If you chatup two people together, treat them the same and let them decide.
  • There’s a pick-up agenda in clubs & bars. This doesn’t happen when you chatup strangers in shops, airports & art galleries.
  • “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” Dr. Seuss
  • Most couples start out arguing about one thing and, within five minutes, are arguing about the way they are arguing.

A Dozen Ways Women Flirt With Their Eyes

May 22nd, 2009

Women have 52 flirting signals, whereas men have only ten. Of the 52, they have twelve which use their eyes to connect and attract men. The list below is not in any particular order.

The Flirting Triangle is when she looks at your eyes, down to your mouth and back to your eyes. She will usually do this when you are talking.

The Lingering Look sends the signal that she can’t take her eyes off you. She uses this when you are both in a small group of people and you’re doing the talking. When you finish speaking she will continue to look at you for a few seconds longer before she looks at the person who’s taken over the conversation.

The Look Away and Back is when she makes eye contact with you and then looks away for a few seconds before she looks back to make eye contact again and smile.

The Sexy Look Across the Room is a form of the look away and back, but it’s across a crowded room. She will make eye contact with you and smile. You will watch as she looks slowly around the room before she comes back to you and makes eye contact again with another big smile. She can do this from over thirty feet away and the message is that you are the most interesting man in the room.

The Sideways Glance. She will use this when she’s sitting to the side of you, but nor next to you. She will glance at you quickly and then back so you catch the movement out of the corner of your eye. If you don’t she will do it again with a bigger movement. As you turn to look at her, she will look back so your eyes meet and she will smile or give you a Peek-a-Boo or Diana look. She can use the Sideways Glance up to fifteen feet away.

The Glance Back is sometimes called the over the shoulder glance and it’s when she looks back at you with her head tilted down slightly. This is the famous old movie signal where they look back as they ride off into the sunset and is a classic way to pull the heart strings. She might combine the Glance Back with a wink or she could lower her head and give you the Diana look as well.

The Diana Look is when she tilts her head down and looks at you from under her eyelids, she might combine it with a blink to flash her long eyelashes at you. She often uses the Diana Look when she’s taking a sip of her drink.

The Eyebrow Flash is probably self-explanatory. It’s the term I use to describe how she raises both her eyebrows at you for less than a second. She might raise only one, in that case it’s quite a cheeky signal and has sexual connotations in Japan.

Peek-a-Boo is when she looks as you demurely behind something. It could be a menu or a magazine. In the 19th century it would have been a fan. It’s a playful peek-a-boo game that women often use to play with men.

Wink. Need I say any more except that sometimes she winks quite quickly so you may not notice it.

The Mouth Gaze. This is a very sexual signal where she stares at your mouth for about ten seconds when you’re talking. It will probably melt you.

The Come Hither Stare is when you both make direct eye contact across the room and she looks you up and down. She will finish at your eyes with a smile, she might even combine it with an eyebrow flash or a wink. You’d be a fool to ignore this one.

Five Things about the First date

May 1st, 2009

Keep It Short - you don’t want to be stuck with someone who’s a bore. So meet for drink after work or a coffee during your lunch break.

Dress To Please - wear clothes that are appropriate for where you’re going. But make sure they can see that you made an effort.

Smile When You Meet - show that you’re pleased to see them. Greet them with a beaming smile that lights up your eyes.

Show You’re Interested in Them - talk about the things that interest them and animate your head in response to what they’re saying. They will happily talk about where they live, holidays, work, interests and hobbies, and their taste in music, films, etc.

Say Goodbye in Style - if you want to see them again agree a date and time before you part. Guys always try and kiss her on the cheek or lips, otherwise she’ll think you don’t fancy her.

Internet Dating Primer

March 20th, 2009

The internet is a wonderful way to connect to people who you would not get the chance to meet in any other way. But you need to spend some time up front to create a good profile.

The better you know yourself, what you are about and your best bits, the more confident and together your profile and ad will sound. Write your profile from the heart. Think in marketing terms - say what the product is (you), what the benefits are (what you like), who is your ideal customer and who is not. You also need to look at your competition and see how you can stand out from the rest of the crowd. This works in advertising, so it’ll work in the world of Internet dating.

You will know how effective your profile is by the type and number and type of responses you get. Some of them will be off track, so tweak your ad and profile.

Let your imagination run wild about the kind of person you want to be with and the kind of relationship you want to have. Write all this down in note form. Use this information in your profile to filter out the ones you don’t want to meet. Also use it as the criteria to check against their profile and develop questions to ask them.

If you were a sales person, you’d expect to set up a meeting with ten out of every hundred letters and phone calls, to be asked to quote by five, and to sell one. The same happens in internet dating. If you are a woman you can expect to get a hundred responses to your profile. You might email back and forth with about a dozen, meet five face-to-face, and start a serious relationship with one.

But be warned, it can be addictive. So set yourself a limit, say one hour a day for one month and see what happens.

BE ANONYMOUS AND BE SAFE

  • Think up a nickname. You must never give out your full name as they might be able to find you through the search engines.
  • Create a Hotmail or Yahoo email account under your nickname.
  • Get a cheap pay-as-you-go mobile number so you don’t jeopodise your normal mobile number.
  • Never tell them where you live or work, just use the name of the nearest big town.
  • Never give them your real email address or phone number.
  • Always meet in a public place and tell a friend where you’re going and something about the person you are meeting. Get a friend to call you after an hour or so you have a reason to leave if you need it.

First Date Day

January 31st, 2009

Today is when there are the most first dates of the year. The pundits say that 700,000 people in the UK will start a relationship between now and Valentine’s Day.

I think it’s because of a lonely Christmas and a New Year resolution along the lines of “on Valentine’s Day I’m going to be out with a potential partner.”

Email me if you can think of any other reasons.
