Advice Articles
Below
are a listing of dating advice articles available on this site.
First
Impressions
There
are no second chances at making a spectacular first impression.
Those first few seconds of contact become a benchmark for every
subsequent impression you make.
Internet
Dating 101
Here's
a handful of important things to keep in mind when you're answering
or placing a personal's ad. If you're involved in any kind of internet
dating, you'll want to read this!
Avoiding
Spam & Scams
Not
all sites, even ones that look professional, are above board. Just
like all other online businesses, there are some people out there
who just want to create a quick buck.
Saving
Face Online
Internet
dating isn't all that much different than any other form of dating;
it just gives you a chance to meet people you wouldn't ordinarily
meet in your everyday life.
5
things not to reveal on the first date
It's
happened to all of us: You're excited about that first date, but
it ends up being a total disaster. You may have a good laugh about
it later, but right now all you can ask is, “What happened?"
The
search for your special someone
There's
no denying it: Members of the gay and lesbian community are significant
contributors to the community of online dating. In this busy world
where meeting quality people is often difficult, online dating is
a great option.
Isn’t
honesty just plain easier?
So
you’ve had that all-important first chat. You even received
an “I’m glad to meet you” email. Good start. It’s
hard to meet someone who wants to date—especially in the online
gay community. Most want stats and pictures first—and if you’re
not perfect—adios amigo.
Ready
for a heart-to-heart?
I
suspect that Cupid doesn’t have a sexual preference; that’s
a human quality. So when it comes to us gays and lesbians, I bet
Cupid is an equal opportunity matchmaker—just as likely to
shoot an arrow at us as anyone else. But somehow the arrow has missed
you so far, and you haven’t made that heart-to-heart connection
yet.
Does
age truly matter?
Recently,
my friend Jerry starting dating a man who's ten years older than
he is. These two guys really like each other, they have a lot in
common, and there's a strong mutual attraction; everyone who sees
them together says that they seem really happy.
Can
you be friends with your ex?
Last
year, my ex-boyfriend Ricky came to visit after living in Germany
for three years. I was excited to see him and glad that he contacted
me, but I'll also admit I was hoping we might get ... reacquainted,
so to speak.
He
couldn’t keep his eyes off other guys
We
met at Caribou Coffee—in the gay ‘hood. My first time
there—what better place for an infrequent first date then someplace
I’d never been. Of course I should have known how it would
turn out.
Putting
it out there for all to see
For
many of us, giving and receiving affection is one of the best parts
of having an intimate relationship, and this may range anywhere
from a hand on your partner's knee to a big, juicy kiss. Everyone
has his or her opinion about public displays of affection (PDA),
but most people generally accept hetero hugging and kissing in public.
About
Online Dating
Everybody’s doin’ it. CyberDating is growing increasingly
popular with people of all ages. It’s quick, easy and inexpensive.
That’s why so many are wearing their heart online.
