ATTITUDE – Get an attitude adjustment first. Lighten up and do a 180-degree about face. Read the Sunday comics, grab an old comic book, turn on the Comedy channel, watch funny videos or DVDs. Get in a better mood and pass it along to your mate. Invite your mate to tune in to comedy with you, too.

FRIENDSHIP – Go back to being friends for starters now that you’re in a good mood. Forget the love stuff, if you want. And just focus on being good friends; share compliments, do things for one another, go out and have fun together, enjoy one another’s company.

RELAX – Let your hair down. Trust and relax. Be yourself. Don’t let old wounds open or fester. Forget the garbage memories and just be in the here and now together.

TIME OUT – If possible, spend extra time together for awhile, like during your original courting days. Hire a sitter, order out, eat at fast food places, grab ice cream cones and go for walks in the park. Get to know each other all over again. That’s the key. Then you’ll remember why you fell for each other in the beginning and history will hopefully repeat itself.

COMMUNICATION – Take it slow and easy. Keep away from subjects that you don’t agree upon. And slowly re-learn to communicate with each other all over again. If necessary, and it’s not a crime or shame – get help. Seek a trusted friend or adviser, a church clergy member or certified professional counselor. No need to go it alone. Find your weak areas and how to over come them and plan for future communication difficulties.

GOALS – Gradually develop goals together so you’ll have a direction to head. Write them down in a notebook just for the two of you. And over time, develop them, revise them, cross them off your list. The idea is to HAVE goals together and work towards a common goal.

SCRAP BOOK – Create a memory album together. Add photos, clippings, menus and anything that reminds you of the “good times.” Then when tough times comes, you’ll have something to “hold on to” – your bridge to romance.

So don’t just sit back and sulk. Take short steps to improve your relationships and let life’s problems magically pass by while you hold on to your relationship.

You have done most of the preparation for your wedding and now it’s time to buy your wedding stationary and wedding invitations. Your wedding stationary should reflect you own personal style and possibly a bit of your wedding location.

Your wedding invitations should be first on the list of wedding stationary. Wedding invitations can be purchased online or in bridal shops. These wedding vendors usually provide online views of these invitations or catalogs of their products that you can look over. Alot of printers supply samples of wording for your invites and most of the time you can custom write your own wording.

Invitation styles include traditional, contemporary, hearts, roses, cherubs, floral designs, special papers, handmade looks, beach or nautical and many other styles. Some of the folding styles include tri-fold, pocket folds, gate fold and single flat panel cards. Invitations usually come with blank outer envelopes but have the option of printed addresses for an additional fee.

Announcements are the same idea as wedding invitations, except you are only announcing your upcoming or previous wedding rather than inviting guests to attend you event.

Respond folders are a way to get an idea of how many guests will be attending your wedding. On these response cards you may want to have menu options for guests to choose so you will be able to tell your caterer.

Reception cards are traditional used if your wedding reception will be held in a separate location than your ceremony. They include your reception name and address.

Menu cards and thank you notes are optional as well as wedding programs that show how the wedding will proceed.

In this article, I will try to answer some of those questions for you. I’m not promoting a particular online dating service or even online dating in general. However, I do believe people want to know a little more about what online dating is and what they need to be aware of and beware of if they choose to participate in online dating.

One of the things people need to consider, whether they meet someone in a chatroom, a forum, or in an online dating website, is that a person’s personality online in most cases does not equal that of their personality when you meet them in person. They may be very shy online, but not in person, and vice versa, which is the more likely of the two.

People tend to be more blunt, outgoing, and talkative online because of several reasons. Online they have a buffer zone between themselves and you. Sometimes that makes them feel more comfortable than they would be if you were sitting in front of them. People also tend to be braver online than offline for the same reasons.

One thing to beware of is that people also tend to lie more online than they could get away with in person. They can tell you they look like Tom Cruise or Jessica Simpson. And that’s just the guys. They may even use someone else’s picture in place of their own.

Before meeting anyone in person that you met on the Internet or at an Online Dating Service, you need to know all you can about them. Especially for you girls and women who are out there looking to use an online dating service.

Unfortunately, there are men out there who will take advantage of you and even those that might cause you harm. If you plan on meeting a man or boy in person, you need to let several of your friends know where you are going to meet him, who he is, and as much information you can give them. If you can take a friend with you, that’s even better. Always meet in a very public place and don’t go anywhere to be alone with them until you know a lot more about them.

Remember, you may have liked their online personality, but in person you may not like them at all. That does not only have to do with the way they look. It may be about their personality. However, if they do not look like or are not the same person in the pictures they sent you, leave immediately. They have already started off by lying to you, so it is not going to get better from there.

I don’t want to scare anyone off, because online dating can be a great way to meet people and start dating. You may even find your true love. I just want you to be cautious.

Many people have even married the person they met through online dating websites. It can be a great experience as long as you go in with both eyes open and realize you will meet all types, just as you do in everyday life.

There was a time when online dating was considered to be for geeks who couldn’t get a date anywhere else. That hasn’t been true for a long time if it ever was. Now many professional men and women use online dating as a way to meet new people because the demands on them from their professions require so much of their time that it leaves little time for socializing.

Others are just shy. They pass up opportunities to get to know people out there who might be Mr. or Mrs. Right because they never seem to make their move before the opportunity is lost. Online, they don’t have that same problem. So for someone who is shy, online dating can be a great way for them to meet people.

With many online dating services they do their best to make sure you are chatting with people who have similar interests. That helps break the ice, but don’t only try to meet people with similar interests. Remember the old saying, “Opposites Attract.” Don’t assume that because both of you like many different things that it cannot possibly work out. I’ll bet you know couples who seem to be two opposite people but still make one great couple.

As with any service you might pay for online, making sure you are dealing with a legitimate company is very important. Many online dating services are out for the money and will continue trying to sell you more and more products. Signing up with them is like agreeing to accept all the spam mail they can generate to you.

There are legitimate online dating websites that only wish to provide a good service for a reasonable signup fee. Ask around online. Find a website other people you know recommend. If you cannot get advice on which one to join, search the Internet for complaints about those you are considering. Find out all you can about them, then make your choice.

I hope this article has helped you learn a little more about online dating. However, you will never know more about it unless you are willing to try it. You don’t have to pick someone at an online dating service and meet them in person. Maybe you will just enjoy meeting them and communicating with them through the online dating service. Remember, you are in control.

Christine Hancock runs “The Personals Network!” There are hundreds of online dating sites out there today, so how do you know which one to choose? That’s why we decided to build Online Dating, your #1 resource for info on the top Dating Sites on the web!

1. Things to already have and believe

You know who you are and believe in yourself and what you can offer to a woman.
That is exactly what a woman wants from you, to be a strong man who honestly cares for her!

You already have a couple of female friends and you understand the differences between men and women and that a woman communicates her emotions and feelings more and that’s what she wants from you (they use their right emisphere more than we do – the emisphere that runs emotions, instincts and creativity).

You’ve met her and kissed her, she is now attracted to you and you would like to know how to keep her(this includes getting intimate with her). You really like her, you like the person she is, not just her looks.

All women want nice relationships and you would like to offer her just that.

You are interested in paying attention to her needs and pleasure and not focusing on yours only.

2. Be yourself!

Accept who you are both strong and weak points. That proves you are mature enough and know what you want. Women find that attractive you know. Be yourself when you are with her, show yourself and don’t be afraid to show your vulnerabilities.

An emotionally-strong man is one that knows his weak points and is honest with them. A man that doesn’t accept that he has weak points he turns them into complexes and can turn aggresive and/or introvert.

3. You don’t always have to dominate

You don’t have to be macho to be a man. It’s good to take initiative and to be responsible but if you dominate all the time it shows you are insecure.

A woman feels good in the places she enjoys, take her there.

At first date it’s good to decide for her the time and place so that she knows you know what you want and not put the responsibility of choosing on her.

But if she would like to go some where else especially on 2nd or 3rd date (and it seems like she honestly wants to connect with you and that place would be a better one for just that) take her there and forget your masculine ego. It might be a more private place and she might open up faster and things could run faster than you’ve ever have thought.

5. Open up!

First few dates are very important, it is the period when a woman is paying attention to the way you treat her. It’s important not to argue in this period, to create a perfect harmony between the two of you. That doesn’t mean you should take her nonsense or not have your own opinion on things. It just means that this period is a trial period where most men fail tests and are dumped because this period is a preview that let’s her know whether she’ll enjoy a relationship with your or not.

Be open with her, be GENUINE, no canned or fake stories needed here. You want a relationship from her not an easy pray. A woman can feel very well whether you truly like her or you just want to use her.

6. Get to know her for real

Find the things that draw you together, the things you have in common and to those. For that you have to be honestly interested in getting to know her world and involving in it. Also give her the opportunity to get to know your world, involve her in your activities, in your schedule.

Introduce her to your social circles and meet hers. She wants you to be happy you have her as your girlfriend and if she cares for you she will be proud you are her boyfriend.
Get to know her in as many situations as possible and try to understand her without judging her.

Be honestly interested in getting to know her, make her feel SPECIAL (this is very important) and you will be special for her. If she has what she truly wants you will receive it back ten times more.

7. How to have sex with her

Don’t talk about sex before it happens. Don’t try to make her interested about the subject by boasting how you satisfied your ex-partners. For her sex is a sublime way of communication, a very intimate connection. If the subject comes up thought discuss it showing maturity and responsibility, from the point of view of a beautiful relationship.

Stop thinking about what do to get her in bed as quick as possible. Most times the exact opposite will happen. Relax when you are with her, feel good and let things happen by themselves. That doesn’t mean you don’t take the necessary steps for that … you just have to take them without a clear goal in mind. Say to yourself: “It doesn’t have to happen tonight” and things will run smoother. If you satisfy her emotional needs, the next step that comes naturally after emotional connection is the physical one and that’s what will happen.

8. Carpe diem

Enjoy every moment you spend with her. It’s you, her and the rest of the world. Enjoy YOUR world…
Beautiful memories are like gems in the life of a person. Treasure them!
