Posted by Mia

Very often the biggest question on singleton’s minds is to how to meet new people. Many relationship experts advise that people need to work on themselves first and that this will help them to meet others they can connect with. This is a very stereotypical piece of advice but they say it is proven to work.
Their reasoning behind this, is if a person is doing things in life that make them happy, they have good relationships with family and friends and have good career prospects, they are more likely to meet someone with similar qualities and with the same outlook on life.

The Benefits of Speed Dating

Posted by Spencer

Speed taking can seem like a very strange way of dating but for many it is an ideal way to date people. It generally works with a couple sitting at a table and chatting for 4 minutes to find out more about each other. After that time a bell will ring, the women stay at the table while the men move to the next table. There is normally a twenty minute break at half time but after the dating is over the company which organised the speed dating will take your notes and only put you in contact with others that also wanted to get in contact with you. It s a great way to meet people you want to again as well as avoiding those that you don’t.

It’s also a great way for professionals with busy lives, or those who tend to always socialise with the same group of friends to meet other people.

Safety Tips for Online Dating

Posted by Mia

Online dating can be a daunting prospect and you want to make sure that you keep safe so below are some tips on how to make sure that you get the best out of your online dating experience:
1. Trust your instincts
Listen to your instincts as they will tell you what feels right and when you should pursue something or run in the opposite direction.

2. Be careful with your personal information
Make sure that you don’t give away your personal information too soon. Things like your home phone number or full name provide an easy way for other to track who you are and where you live.

3. Set up an new email account
If you are going to communicate with someone outside of the online dating facilities set up a new email account dedicating to your online dating. Make sure that you set it up so that the “from” field does not show your full name, which will protect you from others being able to find out more personal information bout you.

4. Use a Mobile Phone
When it becomes time to chat to someone on the phone rather than email, make sure to use a mobile phone rather than your home phone. This again, just gives you more protection until you decide to get to know the person better.

5. Meet in a public place
When you first decide to meet face t face make sure that it is in a public place, and provide your own travel. Make sure that someone knows where you are going and do not accept an offer to be picked up at your house. Once you make that face to face meeting, remember the first tip of going with your gut instinct.

Dating in the Dark

Posted by Dominic

Dating in the dark is a TV program on Living which does exactly what it says on the tin. The show, which is in its second series, gives singletons a unique way of dating and possibly meeting someone special. The show takes physical appearance out of the equation when these singletons get to know each other better in complete darkness.

We put so much emphasis on the way people look, but this show makes people think differently and concentrate more on personality. In the second episode of this new series two models will meet in the dark room, and so it will be interesting to see what happens.
