Amazing Secrets to Meeting Fascinating Singles on the Internet

by Jay Reiss

At the end of a long day at work, what better way to enjoy the evening than to share it with your heart's companion - your Soul mate. Not only is having a love relationship a healthy way to live, but you'll feel more fulfilled as a person too.

As an online dating Coach, I've had the pleasure of working with clients worldwide. People just like you have contacted me from all over the world wanting online dating advice... with the ultimate goal of finding their Soul mate - no matter where he or she may be living. In the global community we all live in today, connecting with and meeting singles online is the most natural thing imaginable.

Today I'll be your Dating Coach while I share some helpful online dating tips. With my online dating advice to guide you, learning how to find your Soul mate through online dating can be fun and easy - so let's get started!

A Dating Coach Offers some Tips for Success

One of your first and most important decisions is your commitment to joining an online dating service. Whether you join a large dating site with millions of members, or a dating service that targets matches within a smaller niche, your online dating success will, to a large extent, be the result of how well your Online Dating Profile is written. With this in mind, here are the first steps to finding your Soul mate.

First, make a commitment to joining one or more paid dating services, each of which has enough members living in your general vicinity so you'll have a variety of prospective Soul mates to choose from.

As your Dating Coach, I'll help you create your Online Dating Profile, since this will become your "Online Dating Brochure" and "calling card."

Then, decide who you would truly like to meet. Your online dating service can help you to some extent, but always keep in mind that you're using computer matching for your introductions. Therefore, to take full advantage of the technology, it would be helpful to first understand how it works! Online Dating services match their clients by performing both a keyword search, as well as a simple match of the preferences you've assigned in your Online Dating Profile. 

When the online dating services ask you to select your "interests and hobbies" for example, you'll be much better off selecting as many of them as you can while still being truthful. Let's say, for example, that under "interests and hobbies" you have 25 options to choose from. If you select only one of them, then you'll be matched with site members who have made that one selection too. 

Computer matchmaking works by matching the words or phrases from your dating profile with those of other members within your chosen age range and geographic area, while applying your preferences for height, hair color, drinking and smoking habits, and so on. So one of the secrets to getting more matches is to be more flexible with the options you choose, just like in the example I've given.

Finally, and most important of all, to take full advantage of the online dating services you join, whether you're a man or a woman, take the initiative and send some letters of introduction - and if possible, do this every day. Don't expect the online dating services to do all of the work! My best advice to you as your dating coach is to become pro-active - and be responsible for your success!

My Dating Coach Advice

You really can find your Soul mate on the Internet. So just take a deep breath, make a decision that you WILL succeed, and then get the ball rolling! Today more than 25% of single adults use online dating services, and within the next five years, this number is predicted to double. Will YOU find your Soul mate through Online Dating? To a large extend, the decision is up to you!

Depending on where you are located, we wanted to put together a list of top romantic beach destinations that you could whisk off to for a weekend getaway or a week's worth of relaxation and love.

This article is for US beach destinations; however we'll provide a list of outside the US in a second part of this series, as we know there are some gorgeous locations all over the world.

Discount Florida Vacations List of Top Romantic Beach Destinations:

**Hawaiian Islands have to be on this list. Maybe it's because we have heard so many great things or have been drooling to visit the islands for a long time.

Offering a sense of inner peace with very warm, welcoming people, Hawaii is a great beach destination and one of love and beauty. Rated number one by many travel agents and experts, the serenity, tropical allure, amazing beaches, ambiance, and more has couples desiring to travel to the Hawaiian Islands in droves.

**Florida Beaches have to be added as top romantic beach destinations. You know we would have picked a few and said these are the best locations in Florida for romance and honeymoons, but we don't do that anymore. After visiting many of the beaches in Florida, we realized that they all offer something special and something unique that you can't find elsewhere. Whether you vacation on the Gulf, Panhandle, Atlantic Coast, or Keys, you will find love and romantic ideas everywhere. Plus one couple's idea of romance may be different from another's.

(You can obviously learn more about Florida vacations at our website).

**The California Coast: My dream has always been just to hop into a convertible with the love of my life and cruise up the coast visiting each city that invites us in. Big Sur is one destination that continues to pop up on the top romantic beach destinations radar. We've also heard nothing but great things regarding San Diego with a lot of cool stuff to do together and plenty of quality time. Among the other spots there are a handful of secluded spots nestled within the coast of California that you can choose from.

**East Hampton in New York. We had to mention some East Coast beaches along with the beautiful West Coast. Unbelievable homes, grassy dunes, sandy beaches, and roaring ocean breaks will have you drooling over more than your loved one. Aside from hobnobbing with the elite and famous, The Hamptons are a great place just to enjoy each other's company by staying in the whole time - be sure to get a beachfront stay.

Cape May in New Jersey

Why Love is Not Enough

by Greg S. Baker

Is it not true that you argue more with people whom you say you love the most? Is it not also true that you've been hurt more by people that claim they love you than by anyone else? If love is enough why then do 50% of marriages end in divorce between two people who once said they loved each other? This article takes a look at this problem.

Often, when asked why two people decide to marry each other, the answer comes back as, "Because I love her/him!" Despite a profound misunderstanding of what love really is, this comment has become the stock reason for marriage for most couples. Yet, their love for each other is not enough to keep them married. Everyone who has gotten a divorce, at one time, felt like, believed, and trusted that they loved the person they eventually divorced. Clearly, love wasn't enough.

In fact, is it not true that you argue more with people whom you say you love the most? Is it not also true that you've been hurt more by people that claim they love you than by anyone else?

Society promotes love as the sole reason for a successful relationship. They believe that love will solve all problems conquer all obstacles. This idyllic and euphoric concept of love works great for the movies and fairy tales, but is impractical and unbiblical in real life.

Biblically, love does not conquer all. Biblically, love is a sacrifice, a giving of self that reflects the character of the giver more than honors the qualities of the receiver. The Bible teaches us that greater love can no man have than to lay down his life for his friend. The Bible also says that we are to love our enemies, and the word love is no less deep and meaningful for the friend as it is for the enemy. God so loved us that He gave his only son-to death! It was a sacrifice, not an emotional force that turns back the evil tide.

When you love someone, you express it in the form of a sacrifice of self. It is a measure of the giver, never the measure of the power of love itself. It is why God can command our love. Love is something we all have. It is something built into us. We are created in the image of God. God is love. We too have this same attribute...and attribute of God Himself. Thus, God can command our love.

Love is vitally important in our lives. It provides the right perspective on life. But it doesn't solve your problems. God loved us and so sent His Son to die for us so that we might go to heaven. But that love didn't prevent masses of people from killing Jesus anyway. And it doesn't prevent millions of people from rejecting His saving grace.

Yes, you ought to learn to love, because as you love, you set the groundwork and the necessary foundation to solve problems, to overcome obstacles, and to have successful relationships. Love keeps the door open. In that, it is essential. Learn to love.

But love, of itself, is not enough. It's just the best start that you can have. Every relationship must expand upon their love. Communication skills need to be developed to express that love. Patience is important. Controlling your anger is essential. Even learning to forgive someone else is vital to the success of a relationship.

The five leading causes of divorce have nothing to do with love. They are:

1. Bad sex life

2. Disagreements over child rearing

3. Trouble with in-laws and / or friends

4. Finances

5. Unrealistic expectations

Love isn't enough. It's a good start and if you truly love someone, you'll work on these other areas as well. Love provides the opportunity. Now we must act on the opportunity.

Smart Tips for Online Dating Profile Pics

by Text Dating

In the world of online dating, the one thing that prompts most singles looking for a relationship to hit the 'send a message' button is a profile pic. Although we would agree that most online daters usually resolve to very flirtatious (or so it seems) profile pictures on online dating sites to attract other singles, however, we cannot help but get attracted to the ones that really catch our attention. If you are single and are looking for a serious relationship, here are some smart tips for profile pics that you might find handy in finding your perfect date:

Make eye contact: Statistics show that most singles that upload profile pics in which they stare right at the camera, so as to make a direct eye contact with those looking at the pic tend to attract more hits and messages. As against this, looking away from the camera may amount to a beautiful picture but does not reveal your interest in the onlooker. Such as picture might make you seem distant and reserved and is not a good choice for a dating profile pic. Pics that have eye contact make you seem interested and friendly.

Smile: Looking serious is frankly a big turn off. A smiling profile pic, on the contrary shows that 'you won't bite', are friendly and approachable. This will not only help you attract like-minded singles but also reveal a positive and lighter side of you and help you attract similar singles interested in dating or looking for a relationship.

Flirt (but only a bit): Flirting seems to work quite well on online dating sites. But when it comes to choosing your profile picture, be a little cautious. You do not want to send out the wrong vibes or attract the wrong people. While it is okay to appear a little flirtatious in your profile pic, going overboard might make you seem very frivolous.

Abstain from pornographic profile pics: Nude/seminude or pornographic pics show that you are desperate for a physical relationship and are not serious about finding a good dating partner. Watch out! This may attract sex predators!

Avoid bathroom mirror shots: Dude, seriously, that is old!! Bathroom shots taken of oneself with the flash reflecting in the mirror is passé. Think of more innovative ideas to click yourself!

Use a 'present day' picture: What good is a ten years older picture of you in which you looked younger (and probably slimmer!!) when you are looking for a real date in present day? Do not give out an incorrect impression about yourself. Ageing is a natural process. Accept it and let genuine people get attracted to who you really are now.

Here's hoping that you will find these tips useful. So go ahead and put up your bests shot. You never know, your perfect date might just 'hot poke' you!

Outsourcing Online Dating

by Text Date

A lot of singles are paying strangers to find them suitable partners to date. With this, the entire concept of online dating has acquired an all-new perspective.

In times when outsourcing is the 'buzz' word that drives the economies of many countries, outsourcing online dating a brand new form of business. Singles who are interested in meeting suitable partners contact websites that provide such services. That's right - relationships just got added to the list of things that can be outsourced, just like buying groceries, paying bills or painting your car.

This is how it is done. Those interested in meeting friends, finding dates, flirting or a long term relationship get in touch with these websites that provide excellent services. These websites typically have freelancers with a relative amount of experience in online date and match making industries. These freelancers work as online dating assistants and help their clients find a suitable date. These personnel pen down relevant and attractive profile details for their clients and submit them on their website to attract other single men and women who too are looking for a perfect match. When someone shows interest in their client, these professionals respond to their interest by writing messages on their client's behalf. In this way, while they help their clients acquire a database of possible suitors, they also save those interested in feeling embarrassed about not receiving any response.

These dating assistants decide who should they respond to and if the interested partner is ready to go on a date with their clients, they even set up a time and place for their clients' first real date!

Women are also prone to outsourcing dating as men, although the latter comprise over 80% of the outsourcing agency's clientele. Most women find first-hand experience of going through a man's profile information and pictures quite intriguing and they do not wish to let go of this opportunity. However, if she is on the receiving end of the outsource set-up, she is all too glad to receive sincere and soulful messages from her interested partner, which in reality are sent by the virtual dating assistants.

The best part about outsourcing the responsibility of finding a date to an agency or a website means that singles do not have the time to get into the nitty-gritty of 'hit and trial' dates before they find their perfect match. Plus, because the entire correspondence is done by a third person, to whom the responsibility is outsourced, the chances of getting emotionally attached to suitors or making the wrong decisions are often less.

So, you think you should give outsourcing online dating a shot? Go ahead!

Deception in Online Dating

by Adam Valentine       

                                                        

How to Spot a Liar in Online Dating

There are so many online dating services now. In the recent years online dating has seen a substantial increase in popularity and doesn't seem to have the stigma it once had.

Online dating offers several benefits, one of the main benefits being that you have a large number of potential people to date that you would not otherwise have. But, how do you know if the person on the other end of that internet connection is being truthful?

Online dating offers people quite a bit of anonymity. For some people this is a great benefit because they can say things in there profile that they would be afraid to say to someone in person. For other people, anonymity makes it easier to pretend to be someone they're not and they will try to get the attention of others by being dishonest and misleading.

So, here are some tips to help you decide whether someone is being truthful or dishonest.

1. A good way to spot deception, whether online or off, is noticing inconsistencies. If someone tells you the same story more than once or you ask the same question a few times but the "facts" change, there is a good chance the person is not being honest.

2. If someone seems evasive, like they're trying to avoid answering certain questions or disclosing certain information, that person is probably hiding something.

It's not always a bad thing for someone to keep some information to themselves but if you're going to go out on a date with someone there are some things you need to know about that person. What's there age? What's there name? What kinds of things do they like or dislike?

If someone is not forthcoming with even the simplest information then that individual is hiding something.

3. Trust your gut. I'm not suggesting that you tap into any latent psychic powers. I'm just saying to listen to that little voice in your head. If you feel uneasy about something don't just ignore that feeling and say "oh it's probably nothing." Trusting your gut can keep you out of a bad or even potentially dangerous situation.

4. One last tip is to ask a prospective date you meet through an online dating service to have a conversation with you via web cam. This way you can see the person. Seeing someone will uncover some obvious information. If someone tells you they are 26 years old, 6 feet tall and 185 lbs. You'll be able to have a pretty good idea if they are being truthful just by looking at them.

Being able to see someone can also reveal other, less obvious information. Being able to see someone’s eyes or watch their body language will also give you a better idea if this is someone you want to meet in person.

If someone refuses to use a web cam or makes a bunch of excuses they could possibly be trying to deceive people.

To sum it up, online dating should be based on truthful information. If you even suspect someone is being dishonest or deceptive you should find someone else. There are plenty of other people out there for you.
