Your prince charming suddenly came up to you and asks you
out. This is a chance of a lifetime, so you said yes.

But how in the world would you know if the date would turn
out fine? You certainly wouldn’t know unless it’s over.

You notice that your prince charming is quite nervous on
your date. It looks like he had taken gallons of coffee
before the date.

It seems that long silence always gets between your
conversations. Prince charming then starts to look like he
is going to faint. This would turn out to be a bad date
unless you try helping him find his words a little.

Maybe he just needs a little push that can provide him with
the idea that you want to make this date a memorable one.

Usually, the first date involves going to movies, having
lunch, or spending dinner with a lot of sharing. Dates like
these just need a little jump-start to be more effective.

Try suggesting some activities that involve fun and
adventure.

Let your prince charming know that you are okay with him.
Try helping him get to his words or unfold his plans for
your date.

Help him by telling the stuff you want to do and the things
you want to try. Places you want to go or places you want
him to see would be very good things to tell your date if
you want to loosen him up a bit and have fun on your date.

Help your date in conquering the limitations that separate
him from you. Help him break the ice. After some time, he
may be starting to feel okay and loosen up a bit.

Afterwards, he could then start living up to your knight in
shining armor dreams.

There are three main types of dating abuse that you should be aware about when you or one of your friends are dating. The main types of abuse are physical abuse, emotional abuse and sexual abuse. There are distinct differences between the three, and when you are aware of what each means, then you will be able to identify it at the drop of a dime.

Physical abuse happens when someone actually does something physical to hurt the other person or knock that person off balance against their will. For example, if a man is upset at his partner and he slaps her across the face, then that is physical abuse. Another example is when he shoves her out of the way while walking past her. If she did not approve of this or is not in the mood for it, then it can be counted as abuse. In fact, there is no time when anyone should be pushed, shoved or hit. Other examples of physical dating abuse are when one or both partners are kicking, scratching, biting each other or throwing things at each other. The reason why this is so bad is because it can easily escalate into domestic violence where someone can get seriously hurt or even killed. If you see this happening, then run quick!

Emotional abuse happens when one partner calls the other partner names or puts them down. There can be emotional abuse without physical abuse. It is one thing to give constructive criticism, but to tear someone down or to belittle them, especially in front of other friends and family is not good at all. If someone is to point out something wrong that you did, then there must also be a solution mentioned, and it must be presented in a courteous way. No person deserves to be called any names or be bullied. Another form of emotional abuse is when one partner neglects the other partner. He or she either keeps them away from seeing friends and family, or they don’t even spend time with them. Either one is a dangerous form of emotional abuse, and if you see it, then run quickly.

Sexual abuse occurs when your partner forces you to do something sexual against your will, such as touching, kissing, or having sex. This can easily escalate to physical abuse like hitting, shoving, kicking, scratching, etc. If you see any of these forms of dating abuse happening in your relationship or the relationship of one of your friends, then tell them to leave quickly. Everyone will be better off.

If you are saying “he dumped me. How will I ever survive?” mere words in an article will not give you comfort. It may help to know that while you’ve broken up, you are not a broken person.

When you’ve been in the position that “he dumped me,” you have two fears. The first is that you will never recover from the pain. The second is that no one will ever love you again.

Take heart, dear. The fear is real. The pain is real. But, the situation exists in your head, not in the real world. While one part of your life may be over, your life is not over.

You still have friends and family who care about you. In fact, you now have more time to spend with them. Many times, when you get into an involved romantic relationship, we lose touch with the other people who bring meaning to your life. You now have a chance to reconnect with them.

In fact, sharing your loss with them may encourage them to share their break up experiences with you. When you say, “he dumped me,” that allows them to be vulnerable about how they’ve been hurt. You will begin to see that your pain is not unique. You will also be able to see that other people have lived full and complete lives after a break up.

In addition to having more time for others who you care about, you will have more time to work on the issues in your life. Many times, when you are in a relationship, the activities you care about get pushed aside if your boyfriend isn’t interested in them. This is a good time to get re-involved in the things that matter to you.

If no particular activity comes to mind, then maybe you need to get a hobby! No, really, when you say “he dumped me,” what you tell yourself is that you are worthless. When you take up a new activity and invest in yourself, you prove to yourself that you matter.

There are all kinds of activities you can get involved with. The best thing to do is to join a group, class, or workshop. For instance, joining a hiking club will let you meet lots of people who enjoy the great outdoors. A ballroom dancing class will introduce you to people who enjoy the finer things in life. A writer’s workshop will be filled with creative types.

As you begin to re-engage with the world, you will lose the sense of desperation you felt when he dumped you. You will make new friends who share a common interest. And, you may even meet someone special to spend your time with.

The truth is that you will find someone to date again. Your soul mate is out there.

Your ex may have done you a favor by breaking up with you because now you have a chance to find someone who fits you better.

And, always remember, the best revenge when “he dumped me” is moving on!

Do you know what the main purpose of a social networking website is? If you are an avid internet user, you likely do. Social networking websites are online communities that make it easier for internet users to meet and communicate with each other. If you are an internet user who enjoys using the internet to meet new people, there is a good chance that you already belong to a social networking website. What about an online blog? Do you have one of them? If you do, do you know that you could use your social networking website to promote your blog?

Promote your blog? Why would you want to do that? Honestly, if you have to ask yourself that question you probably shouldn’t even have one. The whole purpose of a blog is to document your thoughts, views, and opinions on a particular topic, issue, or subject. What good will your blog do if no one reads it. In addition to sharing your thoughts with the rest of the world, did you know that you could also make money from your blog? You can signup for affiliate programs or other programs like Google Adsense. If you are using your blog to make money then you will defiantly want to promote it.

When it comes to promoting blogs, there are many blog owners who decide to let the search engine do the work for them. Search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN use special techniques that reads the content on your website. That content is then used to rank your website with particular keywords. This means that you run a blog on graduating from high school in New York, there is a good chance that your blog will appear in searches done on New York high schools. Although many blogs are successfully ranked in search engines, not all are. That is why you are advised against relying solely on search engines, when it comes to promoting your blog.

As previously mentioned, if you love meeting with or talking to people online, there is a good chance that you belong to a social networking website or community. The individuals that you talk to and that are in your community are likely the individuals that you wish to target.

But, before they can read your blog, you have to let them know that it exists.

When it comes to promoting your blog on social networking websites, you have a number of different options. Your first option is to include a link to your blog in your community profile or profile page. This will allow other community members to checkout your blog, only if they wish to do so. The other way is to inform your online friends of your blog through private messages. Once you join a social networking website and create or join a network of friends, you should easily be able to communicate with those friends. Sending each of your friends a private message with information and a link to your blog tends to be more effective than just placing a link in your profile or on your profile page.

Although there is a good chance that you are already a member of a popular social networking website, you may not be. If you are not already a member, but would like to become one, you will need to find a social networking website to join. This can easily be done with a standard internet search. In your search, you will likely find a number of popular network sites, such as MySpace, Facebook, FriendFinder, Yahoo! 360, and Orkut. Before becoming a community member at one of these networking sites, you may want to first examine the website to ensure that it is everything that you want it to be.

As you can easily see, there are a number of different ways that you can go about promoting your blog on online social networking websites. You never known, but, in addition to promoting your blog, you may also make new friends along the way.

It’s true: men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Men and women are worlds apart when it comes to thinking, feeling and doing things. This difference is highlighted most especially in the game of dating.

It has gotten harder and harder to find a nice date that won¡¯t end up really badly or at least end hopefully. Some dates seemed destined to fail from the start. To make matters worse, one may have to go through these several disaster dates before hitting the jackpot and finding someone we actually can click with.

The problem is, it often feels like hopeless optimism to think that you may ever find “the one” especially after your personal history of disaster dates. You’re also experienced enough to know a good date doesn’t always end up in the kind of relationship you hope to find. Perhaps the key is to just keep trying. After all, you will never succeed if you quit trying.

Perseverance and a positive outlook are all well and good. However, it is totally understandable for you to feel like giving up. Going on dates require a lot of effort. In fact, finding someone to date to begin with can already be daunting.

Going to a bar or the local hot spot may be the obvious choice but naturally, these places are saturated by other individuals who are on the prowl for dates. Aside from that, you’re not sure to find individuals with the same interests as you in the local date scouting scene. If you’ve run out of dating options and want to give the whole business a new go, why not try speed dating.

Yes you can take advantage of speed dating services right in your area. Find other singles in Austin and go on a speed date. Perhaps you feel that singles are a dying breed and there are none left in Austin. However, if you decide to sign up for a speed dating service, you might be surprised to find a lot of singles in the area for you to choose from.

Speeding dating in Austin is the same phenomenon happening the world over. Singles come together in one venue and everybody there gets to meet everybody else. Speed dating in Austin takes the hassle out of trying to figure out which venues will be the best place to find dates or at least meet someone interesting.

Plus, speed dating in Austin takes the guess work out of the dating game. Sometimes, when you meet someone interesting, it takes a few wonderful dates before you realize that he turns out to be married. With speed dating in Austin, you can have a lot of short dates in just one night where you can meet a lot of singles with your preferred demographic. If some dates during the whole speed dating event doesn’t go well, you have a lot more dates that night to make up for it.

If however, at the end of the evening you still come out empty handed, it’s no big deal. You didn’t really waste a lot time and you can do something as fun as that again another time. While dating can be a nightmare, speed dating, particularly for singles in Austin, can be just the thing the doctor prescribed.

Speed dating is a modern approach of singles (including divorced, widowers, widows) regardless of genre, age, and status for even gays and lesbians merit considerations in this 21st century practice of meeting acquaintance, or would-be future partners in life.

Although, it objects likewise with that of the traditional type of mate-matching done so by ancient wealthy and royals of antiquity, beside that it has been practiced also in the orient by the Chinese as a part of their tradition, the present approach is very more liberal, for the people concerned in here have the opportunity to outstand to their choices and interests.

Speed dating of today matches and gives opportunity to interchange types, status, age and genre to such extent that it renders match-making of the olden days totally obsolete in make and perspective. Speed dating became popular in the United States after the introduction of the Jewish Rabbi Yaacov Deyo of Aish Ha Torah; who, in his observations, the Jewish singles were outnumbered by the non-Jewish, and that they should meet each other in groups, in cities where single Jewish are fewer.

The practiced has evolved general acceptance and went across other borders, and continents, and became a recent global practice. Various places of interactions to promote the meeting of interested groups or individuals are open in clubs, restaurants, and other places of social venues where it is openly organized. It also became popular in the inter net where there are a lot o traffic visitors of the entire global network.

Speed dating has reached the continent of Canada. It is widely practiced in Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Winnipeg. Up-market bars sponsor the meeting exclusively of singles (they specialized more on unmarried males/females), ages 20 to 35 years old who are more adaptive of their personal choices and interests.

A single individual could meet a group and decide his/her choice later, when it is more convenient and less awkward not to be so blunt in right-at the moment preference of one from the other. Speed dating tends to be fast, safe and full of fun when a group of singles from 8 to 12 in numbers meet in up market bars. The practice extends in such popular places specified above.

Don’t mistake it; speed dating is totally different from romanticizing. It has nothing to do with treating the event as a prospect for any sex relationship, although it could be a fun time for flirtations for both male and female who chance at meeting a number of people in 20s. There’s time for enjoyment with total strangers having different levels of interests and respective characters and choices.

Group encounters entails a three-minute chance to evaluate the person of your preference, and choice is to settle on whether you’d ever wish to pinpoint the person of your elect to forego with in lengthier relationship that would front a lead for a life-long commitment.

There’re adverse angle as regards to speed dating around this side of the continent. Addressed exclusively to ladies in two categories; namely, the lady singles who speed date for the first time; and, the sex oriented/experienced young females such as divorced, widows, and plain play-girls. The male may have a lot of expectations on them either the positive sex expectations, towards results of their encounters on either these types of ladies.

The other type male date is that without expectations towards out-right sex relationship. These are the most wholesome speed dates where a “good choice” is on hand.

The Law of Attraction basically says we can get what
we think about. Our circumstances aren’t determined by
the fickle hand of fate, but instead are shaped by our
own conscious and unconscious thoughts.

To make the Law of Attraction work for you, you have
to know what you want and ask for it. Then, go ahead
and start making plans for after you receive it.

This doesn’t mean ask for money, and then start
spending like it’s in your pocket. But make plans for
how you’re going to spend the money when it does get
here.

The hardest part for most people is to be open to
receiving it. This is where doubting you really
deserve it can prevent anything good from happening.
If you don’t think you deserve good things, they won’t
come to you.

Another problem some people have is thinking about the
things they don’t want to happen to them. The thought
fulfilling universe doesn’t understand the concept of
“I don’t want”. If you spend your time dwelling on
negative things, that’s what you’re going to get.

The Law of attraction isn’t going to solve all your
problems overnight. But if you start practicing it on
a conscious level, eventually it will become second
nature to you.

You won’t have to steer your mind to thoughts of
positive things. It will already be there. Positive
thoughts breed positive actions and reactions. Give it
an honest try and you may be pleasantly surprised.

It is depressing to see many marriages that are in turmoil, and it is especially disconcerting to see them end up as messy divorces, so you may ask how can I save my marriage? Filing for divorce is not the solution for when a marriage has hit its pushing limits. There are a number of solutions that require that both partners to be fully committed in saving the relationship that they have. The first step is counseling, which enables the couple to have a mediator in dealing with their issues.

In addition to professional services, there are a number of different things that can be done to save a marriage, it is not a complicated process and does not require much outside of both parties working towards the common goal. Below are four things that you can take to heart and utilize to “save my marriage” and improve the odds of successfully avoiding divorce.

First, know that the perfect marriage is a myth. Whenever two people are brought together, there will be problems, including the few that can grow into deal breakers in your marriage. This is a natural result of brining two people together. Even perfect twins differ in likes and dislikes. For the marriage to succeed, the couple must learn to deal with the rough patches and overcome their problems. Seeking perfection will only destroy everything. People make mistakes, work with your partner and overcome the problems you face, and you’ll realize it is possible to “save my marriage.”

Second, good communication is vital, for when the communication is insufficient; the marriage is doomed to face problems. The most vital thing is to be honest with your partner. Just about every issue and problem can be solved if communication is maintained. The third tip is to accept compromise. Many have made this an art, with good reason. The middle ground that will enable a conclusion to the conflict has to mesh with both parties and their interests before it can “save my marriage.” Marriage on a whole is about compromise and knowing that there are times when your spouse will have to give and times when you have to give in order to “save my marriage.”

Really, a marriage is about commitment, the fourth tip. Like a car, if it breaks down, you don’t abandon the car on the side of the road. The only time you do get rid of the car is when there is no hope. Saving your marriage involves the same level of commitment and working towards making things work, if you ever have a chance to “save my marriage.”

Sometimes, the damage to the marriage totals it, and no matter what you do, nothing can change it. Some issues cannot be solved, counseling cannot help. It is in these cases that divorce makes sense. Out side of these cases, divorce is not the answer. Instead, you should work with your partner to solve the issues that plague your marriage, and hopefully you will be able to say that you can “save my marriage.”

Everything has to start somewhere. Unless you start revamping your self confidence, you will have to agonize endlessly with the very thing you are fearful of- low self confidence.

Our self confidence is the accumulation of all our reactions to the experiences that life brought us, the manner by which we were guided by the older people in our environment and how we and the society view us. Many factors are contributors to our personal understanding of confidence.

One determining factor is how well we expect ourselves and the circumstances of our lives should be. Many tend to fall into the trap of creating unrealistic expectations. In the process, their losses are becoming too painful that they eventually suffer the effects of creating lower self confidence. Others, on the other hand, lean more on playing safe and thus create more achievable goals that are easier to attain. And because achievements add largely to the development of self confidence, these people benefit from knowing that they are somehow capable of doing something.

You may already have heard the phrase- “its all in the mind”. And to many psychological and emotional conditions, we can actually say that everything is all in the mind. They rooted and develop from the mind and so, the antidote might as well come from the same source.

You can always condition yourself to feel the way you want or to feel the way you don’t want. You can suppress emotions and in the process, help emotions materialize. Say you want to feel hatred of yourself over not being good enough. If you make yourself believe in that hatred and you truly are convinced that you are not good enough, you will only get two products- one, genuine hatred and two, lower self esteem.

The majority of us are caught unaware with our words. We sometimes fail to check ourselves of the things we are registering in our subconscious mind.

You may not have deliberately said it recently but since you are used to hearing yourself mumble- “I am a looser”, or “I’m not worthy of anything”, your subconscious self might as well believe that these are the facts.

Even now as we speak, many out there believe in these statements.

They are not mere words. They are for real and they will actually dig deep in your subconscious mind, which will then be integrated into your being. If you believe in these then there is no way that you won’t believe in their direct opposite.

Central to building self confidence is one’s belief in himself. Whatever you set your mind to believe will all be taken as factual. Thus, you only have to manipulate the values that you would like to acquire. Otherwise, no amount of waiting can make you change. The motivation must come from you. Suggestions may come from outward sources but in the end, it will be you and yourself that will set out to do the battle.

Changes must begin from you. You may start with talking to yourself using positive statements like “you are great” (for you truly are a great individual waiting for your talents to be tapped). Or “you are beautiful” (because believe in this or not each one of us were created beautifully to give glory to our Maker).

You cant stay long in your madness over having low self confidence. Somehow, you have to change your perspectives and live a different life that looks forward to better things.

Are you interested in meeting new people online? How about people that share the same interests as you? If so, one of the best ways to find those individuals to use online social networking websites. Social networking websites are often compared to neighborhoods or communities, but ones that are online. If are interested in making use of these popular websites, if you haven’t been already, you will need to find a social networking website to become a member of. One of the websites that you may be interested in joining is Orkut.

Orkut, sounds interesting doesn’t it? With other popular websites such as Yahoo! 360, Friendwise, Classmates, and MySpace, there are many who wonder how Orkut became the name of this popular online community. Orkut is named after the individual who created it. That man was an employee of Goggle and he is known as Orkut Buyukkokten.

If the name of the website doesn’t automatically draw you in, there is a good chance that the website features will. Like many other social networking websites, Orkut has a number of different member benefits. These benefits are what makes it worthwhile to become a member of this popular social networking website. As popular as Orkut is and as much as you would like to join, there are special procedures that you must follow. Unfortunately, Google does not allow just anyone to become a member, you must be invited.

Current community members are the only ones who can extend you an invite. This means that you should not waste your time trying to convince Google to let you join. Being invited to join Orkut really isn’t as difficult as it may sound. Orkut is so popular that there is a good chance that you know someone, if not personally than online, who can extend you an invite. By performing a standard internet search, you should also be able to find Orkut members who would be willing to extend you an invitation, without even knowing who you are.

Although many internet users refrain from joining Orkut, just because of the invitation requirements, there is a good reason for limited membership. Orkut is a social networking website that is free to use. Unfortunately, free means that many people would wish to use the website. Many online social networking sites, that are free to use, have literally become ridiculous. A large number of internet users get joy out of creating fake accounts and causing online controversy. Google decided to make Orkut a special membership online website to prevent instances like that from happening.

Orkut, like many other online social networking websites, has a number of different purposes. Of course, the main purpose of Orkut is to allow you to connect with your friends, especially the ones that have extended an invitation to you, but you can do much more than that. Once a member of Orkut, you can easily famialrize yourself with other website members who share the same interests as you do. This will not only help you make new friends, but it may also result in the finding of your next romantic partner. That is what is nice about Orkut, once you are a member, just about anything is possible.

If you are interested in learning more about Orkut, before trying to obtain an invite, you will want to visit their online website. You can do this by going to www.orkut.com.
