			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I met a man through an online personal posting. We have gone out three times, all very casual so far. I like him and he seems to like me but I am shy and it takes me time. What bothers me is that he doesn&#8217;t call. He uses email to ask me out. I know the call has a small long distance fee, but I gave him my work number and that is local and he still doesn&#8217;t call. Yet he wants to go out on a fourth date. I want him to know it bothers me that he doesn&#8217;t call, but I don&#8217;t want to make him defensive or feel pressured by telling him so. What should I do? Give up on him maybe?</p>
<p>Hmmm. . . the only options you see are a nice little, &#8220;hey, give me a call at work tomorrow, ok?&#8221; or giving up on him?? This guy you actually like? You want to ditch him because you think he&#8217;ll feel pressured if you ask him to call you???</p>
<p>Ok, please excuse all those question marks. I was just a little startled. I forget sometimes that far too many women really do think that to ask for something &#8211; something completely acceptable and expected is somehow a sign of impoliteness. Repeat three times: &#8220;When I date someone it is ok to expect him to call me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, I am not completely insensitive to your plight here. If you&#8217;ve lived a lifetime of trying not to be demanding, a couple of extra question marks from an online advice columnist isn&#8217;t going to snap you out of it. So here are two techniques you need to learn.</p>
<p>First of all get just a tad out of your own head and see things from his perspective. Many people are too busy at work to field personal calls, he might just think he&#8217;s being polite. Or he might be shy he knows you have a rapport on e mail after all, talking on the phone might just be a hesitating, complicated disaster. So give him the benefit of the doubt for a moment. He&#8217;s working up to calling you, just hasn&#8217;t done it yet.</p>
<p>That brings us to technique #2. Learn to be creative. So you can&#8217;t bring yourself to say, &#8220;Hey buster, call me like a normal paramour already, ok?&#8221; Fine. In fact if you said it like that, it&#8217;s true you might make him feel defensive just as you worried. But what about an e mail that says, &#8220;oh, I&#8217;m totally bored at work right now the boss is out and I have nothing to do, give me a call. Here&#8217;s my number again.&#8221; Or a cute, smiley, this is a little joke between us that I know you&#8217;re nervous to call me &#8220;um, so do you think you&#8217;re ever going to call me?&#8221; at the end of a date. If you can get him to call you once or twice, he&#8217;s going to be more comfortable with that.</p>
<p>More than anything, he will hear this request as a Big Deal only if you turn it into a Big Deal thing you have to psyche yourself up to tell him. If you can learn to just sneak such things lightly into conversation, you&#8217;ll find you&#8217;re able to ask your beaux for a lot more. And you&#8217;ll realize that asking for the things you deserve isn&#8217;t such a trauma after all.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This is an article which discusses the act of older, single women who have an appetite for younger men.  Is it this growing trend pathetic, or incredibly hot?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>She is sleek, powerful and beautiful.&nbsp; She is also deadly, predatory and dangerous.&nbsp; Always stalking her prey with unrelenting patience and skill, she doesn&rsquo;t stop until she gets what she wants.&nbsp; Who is this seductive temptress?&nbsp; You may ask.&nbsp; Of course, I speak of the urban Cougar, the fiercest of the jungle feline.&nbsp; Since the airing of the ABC comedy series &ldquo;Cougar Town&rdquo; starring the beautiful, funny Courtenay Cox as sexy older neighbor Jules, I began to wonder if use of the word &ldquo;Cougar&rdquo; is more empowering to single forty-plus women, or if it is a detriment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a woman who is proud of reaching the age of 40, I can&rsquo;t help but still feel like a young, desirable woman still in her twenties.&nbsp; Back in those earlier, carefree days, labeling the mature, single woman after the powerful mountain cat somehow rendered her to be nothing more than an older, desperately oversexed woman who would devour one hot, young stud after another as they innocently wandered into her neck of the jungle.&nbsp; She was something to both be marveled and feared; a man eater with insatiable blood lust and sexual appetite to match.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p>I am wondering now, at this age, if we haven&rsquo;t stereotyped older single women unfairly.</p>
<p>While our male counterparts are cheered on and praised for their desire to date young, beautiful women, the cougar should also be commended for her prowess for hot, young boy toys; giving little worry to what others around her may think.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2009/11/09/is2505621_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I think it&rsquo;s time for older, vibrant women to reclaim the word, and be proud of their cougar status.</p>
<p>With the divorce rate climbing ever higher, there are more cougars on the prowl than ever before.&nbsp; Expect to see an upsurge of older, financially stable, attractive women ready to compete in the love market.&nbsp; Of course, antiquated notions still exist in this world, and will probably exist until the end of time but I still think that the Cougar is someone to be admired; a woman who doesn&rsquo;t allow her age to get in the way of her happiness.&nbsp; I think it&rsquo;s fabulous that sexy, powerful women can step out and feel proud of whom they are, not allowing the old double standard to interfere with their happiness.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the celebrity world, we see dozens of examples of gorgeous, older stars dating younger actors.</p>
<p>I think of Cameron Diaz with Justin Timberlake, and legendary star Demi Moore dating adorable Ashton Kutcher.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2009/11/09/taw22141_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Reaching the age of forty wasn&rsquo;t nearly as difficult as I thought it would be.&nbsp; In many ways, I am a better woman than I was in my twenties.&nbsp; I am intelligent, experienced and independent.&nbsp; I don&rsquo;t need a man to define who I am, or what I do.&nbsp; I can see why some younger guys would feel compelled to come to us, a refreshing change from needy, insecure younger women.&nbsp; I should know, because I was once one of them.&nbsp; Suffice it to say, modern times allows us cougars to leave our homes on a Friday night, dress into our sexiest little black dress, and enjoy ourselves as much as anyone else would.&nbsp; That, in itself is the most empowering thing of all.&nbsp; &nbsp;All that is left to say is, Happy Hunting, gals!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
</p>
<p>As the roles between men and women blur in our society, so do the dating rules.&nbsp; Older women put themselves out as being sexy, independent and just as worthy of happiness as anyone else.&nbsp; She is sure of herself, knows how to flirt, and uses her beauty, intelligence and sophistication to land her next man.&nbsp; On the flip side, despite what society tells us, young men also enjoy dating older women.&nbsp; Many young men aptly named &ldquo;cougar hunters&rdquo; actively seek out these sleek jungle cats.&nbsp; Their reasons of seeking out older female partners may vary according to who you speak to; &nbsp;&nbsp;Some men say that the attraction of the cougar lies less in her confidence, and more in her wallet.&nbsp; Many cougars have established careers, own their own homes, Mercedes, and have few emotional ties.&nbsp; The man who is on the search for a woman with money could also be the cougar hunter, the victim suddenly becoming the predator.&nbsp; The laws of the concrete jungle are always changing and reinventing themselves to suit the needs of those who dwell within its glistening towers.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[So you're on the dating scene, scoping out your options, weighing the qualities you must have against what you'd be willing to deal with.  But there are some types of men that no one should have to deal with...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>The Mama&#8217;s Boy</strong></h3>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it&#8217;s great that he&#8217;s close to his family.&nbsp; But there&#8217;s a family bond and there&#8217;s an unhealthy clinging.&nbsp; If he still lives at home (and is of a reasonable age to be living on his own), if he visits his mom more than twice a week, or if he talks to his mother on the phone longer than he talks to you, be worried. You will never live up to his standards.&nbsp; His mother raised him, took care of him when he was sick with homemade soup and a kiss on the forehead, was there for him throughout his entire life.&nbsp; He will never give up that unhealthy attachment to his mom, and you shouldn&#8217;t have to try to convince him he should.&nbsp; Say things get serious between you two, despite his mother&#8217;s interference: Forget about moving away from his mother.&nbsp; In fact, he may invite her to live with you when she gets older and less independent.&nbsp; She will be an active participant in all decisions made between you and him, whether she&#8217;s around or not.&nbsp; And if there is an argument, he will always side with his mother.&nbsp; Your relationship will never be you and your boyfriend.&nbsp; It will be you, your boyfriend, and his mom.</p>
<h3><strong>The Lazy Guy</strong><br /></h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/10/22/lazyman_1.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="269" /></p>
<p>This guy has never cleaned anything in his life.&nbsp; Nor has he cooked, picked up his dirty socks, or held a job for more than two weeks.&nbsp; Chances are, he was a mama&#8217;s boy in a former life and had all of these things done for him, which he now expects his new girlfriend to do.&nbsp; If your duties resemble those of a mother&#8217;s instead of a girlfriend&#8217;s, you know you&#8217;re in trouble.&nbsp; Why would this type of man be appealing, you ask?&nbsp; Because it&#8217;s a female instinct to nurture and care for others.&nbsp; We see an injured bird and we take it home, feed it every two hours, keep it warm, talk to it.&nbsp; The lazy guy is our injured bird.&nbsp; But worse.&nbsp; This guy WILL NEVER do anything for himself as long as he has someone else who&#8217;s capable of doing it for him.&nbsp; This is why you need to bail on this loser.&nbsp; For his sake as well as your own.&nbsp; Think of it as letting the injured bird, now healed and back in good health, fly back into nature where it must again fend for itself.</p>
<h3><strong>The Workaholic</strong></h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/10/22/bluetoothheadsets3manheadsets600x600_1.jpg" alt="" width="385" height="255" /></p>
<p>This man is successful, classy, well-dressed and proper.&nbsp; He only buys the finest, has a fabulous house in an exclusive neighborhood, and drives a Benz.&nbsp; He&#8217;s well-educated, polite, and charming, but be wary.&nbsp; If he&#8217;s wearing a Bluetooth device 24/7, only discusses business, and has to pencil you in for dates, he won&#8217;t make you happy.&nbsp; His work will always come first.&nbsp; If you have dreams of traveling, moving to another state, or pursuing any dream of your own, you will be sorely disappointed if you expect him to support you.&nbsp; Nothing, not even you, is more important than his work.</p>
<h3><strong>The Womanizer</strong></h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/10/22/abercrombiemodel_1.jpg" alt="" width="376" height="282" /></p>
<p>This man is gorgeous, popular, fun, and a great guy to hang out with.&nbsp; He&#8217;s flirty, a fantastic lover, and excellent eye-candy.&nbsp; Chances are, you met this guy at a party of a mutual friend.&nbsp; He approaches you, all suave and debonair, buys you a drink, flirts and showers you with compliments.&nbsp; He makes you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.&nbsp; Until, of course, you witness him play the same lines on another woman.&nbsp; A good womanizer won&#8217;t make it obvious he&#8217;s cheating (yes, he will cheat!) and will try to conceal his women-on-the-side, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t detect his infidelity.&nbsp; He&#8217;ll get random phone calls from women that he&#8217;ll insist on taking, he&#8217;ll have increasingly pathetic excuses for being out all night, he may even call out another woman&#8217;s name during passionate love-making.&nbsp; Take this as a hint.&nbsp; This type of man will never be happy with one woman.&nbsp; He&#8217;s easily bored and only wants to get laid.&nbsp; He&#8217;s not worth your time.</p>
<h3><strong>The Body Builder</strong></h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/10/22/1035901_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This man cares about his appearance.&nbsp; He&#8217;s gorgeous, and he&#8217;s well aware of it, with a chiseled face and a body you can&#8217;t keep your hands off of.&nbsp; And how did it get that way?&nbsp; Yeah, the 9 hours a day he spends at the gym 5 days a week.&nbsp; This is the type of guy who is obsessed with achieving 3.2% body fat and so spends all of his free time working out.&nbsp; The rest of the time will be spent in front of the bathroom mirror, flexing his muscles and perfecting his tough-guy look.&nbsp; You will never see him except when it&#8217;s advantageous to him.&nbsp; There&#8217;s nothing this man loves more than a swooning woman hanging off his chiseled arm to complete his ultimate goal of being the most attractive, strongest, manliest guy around.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Can't decide if you want to run or stay, maybe these words of wisdom will help you make the correct decision.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/10/06/canovacn02601_1.jpg" alt="" /><br />Lust is a passionate desire. You meet someone and fancy him. This can be mutual or it might be one-sided. He might fancy you and you might think, what a nice guy. Either way, one of you has a strong physical interest in the other and the other isn&#8217;t completely indifferent. The one with the interest pursues it with the necessary amount of vigor, rousing the interest of the not entirely uninterested party and soon, in the popular vernacular, emotions take over. This will involve passionate kissing at the very least and depending on how everything else is going, could move on to very much more.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/10/06/canovacn02541_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is what confuses the issue. In the heat of passion you exchange your common sense and share your bed for several nights with someone who you were very attracted to and now that person avoids you like the plague.</p>
<p>Therefore, you wonder what made this person change so quickly? But sooner or later, reality will rear its ugly head and you are forced to acknowledge that the person whose attention you have been pining for isn&rsquo;t actually interested in you at all. However, it is better this happen early on, so you can appreciate what you&nbsp; had was only a brief romance and nothing to break your heart over.</p>
<p>Love is the emotion that will sustain you through fifty years of living under&nbsp; one roof, watching each other breathe and listening to each other eat. It can be but isn&#8217;t necessarily part of the chain that leads to the golden wedding party where two young people will catch each others eye and smirk in mutual recognition. Here, for your edification, is how the chain works.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/10/06/lovelife1_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>It is perfectly possible to enjoy a really good song with someone you don&#8217;t much like, but only once or twice. With luck, in between the flirting, you will be speaking to each other and establishing some kind of mental connection which will involve recognition of mutual interests, hopes, expectations and things you find funny.</p>
<p>This will give a whole new dimension to the relationship and hope for the future, be it ever so short. During this period you will enjoy each others company and in between the courting you will try to spend as much time as&nbsp; possible with one another. When you are not together you might feel sick with longing. This is a good sign but doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean anything significant long-term is happening. Lust and delight in romance can play funny tricks on judgment and you always need to make certain you are in control.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a single working woman? You dare to be different, dare to be independent and dare to be just yourself. You don&#8217;t kowtow to societal pressures or family demands. You are single by choice (may be waiting for the right man or may be not). You are confident, happy and fiercely ambitious. But you are also under a lot of <a href="http://www.productsherbal.com/stress/" target="_blank">stress</a>- the stress that comes from daring and from doing things differently. If you are one of these women then we have something for you that will help you combat the stress that may hinder your growth and development. All you have to do is make the following Dos and Don&#8217;ts a part and parcel of your life.</p>
<h4><strong>DO &#8211; Be an optimist</strong></h4>
<p>Do remind yourself again and again that the whole world is there; ahead of you waiting to be conquered. Your glass should always be half full and never half empty. People may find it difficult to accept a &#8216;career-oriented single woman&#8217;, at work as well at home. If you can&#8217;t change their thinking, then there&#8217;s no point in worrying about what others will think. So many times you worry not because there is an issue but because you have become a habitual worrier. Instead of thinking: &#8216;Will I find a man who will be supportive of my career,&#8217; just go ahead and say yes to the man who will support your career wholeheartedly. You will soon realize that having a positive and optimistic attitude will reap positive results.</p>
<h4><strong>Don&#8217;t &#8211; Create problems that are not there</strong></h4>
<p>Many times your worries are the fruits of your own wild imagination. Can you recall how many times you have thought: &#8216;If only I had the figure of Cindy Crawford, if only I had the energy of a five-year-old, if only my boss wouldn&#8217;t boss, if only the men didn&#8217;t come too close &#8230; &#8216;<br />The list of &#8216;if only&#8217; seems endless. We have a special stress buster to rid you of all these imagined worries. Set an alarm for 15 minutes and think of all the possible worries that you can. As soon as the alarm goes off, rush to the bathroom and wash down all those thoughts down the washbasin.</p>
<h4><strong>Do &#8211; Be happy</strong></h4>
<p>Happiness is a perfect antidote for stress. Just be happy and watch all that stress vanish into thin air. The most important happiness is intrinsic &#8211; one should be happy with one&#8217;s own self. In fact make it a point that at least once in a day you tell yourself, &#8221; I am happy, I am good and I love myself. &#8221; Chant this mantra and you will see that all those problems that you thought were big are actually trivial. You don&#8217;t need a reason to be happy, but when you feel you do just write down five things that you think are great about yourself or your five greatest achievements. Do you still need a reason to be happy?</p>
<h4><strong>Don&#8217;t &#8211; Set unrealistic goals</strong></h4>
<p>Remember as a kid you were always expected to do things that seemed beyond your capacity and capability like excelling in mathematics while you just hated it, learn swimming when all the time you were scared of water and go win some medals when all that really mattered was that Nancy Drew on the shelf. You could be doing the same thing to yourself like aiming to put a full stop to male female discrepancies in the office, or wanting a double promotion where none is due or waiting for six tall, dark handsome men to propose to you. Remember the story of the hare and the tortoise &#8211; slow and steady wins the race. You too can win the race if you aim for things that are within your reach. Setting realistic goals not only <a href="http://www.productsherbal.com/q/relives+stress" target="_blank">relives stress</a> but also boosts your morale in such a way that you are able to achieve the unachievable.</p>
<h4><strong>Do &#8211; Pat yourself on the back</strong></h4>
<p>It would be great if someone told you that you are doing a great job. But if nobody seems to be doing that then why don&#8217;t you go ahead and pat yourself. But take care that you don&#8217;t overdo the praise. There is a critic and patron in each one of us. The trick lies in striking a good balance between the two. It&#8217;ll do wonders for your ego if you tell yourself occasionally about a great job you have done or the pretty picture that you have painted. In these competitive times, when everybody seems to be outdoing the other to reach the top, stress can keep mounting. All you need to do is give yourself a pat on the back and see the difference.</p>
<h4><strong>Don&#8217;t &#8211; Crib and sulk</strong></h4>
<p>Many times we get trapped in the vicious circle of cribbing and sulking that leads to stress and then more cribbing and more sulking and more stress and the circle goes on and on. If you are always cribbing about something or the other you will feel discontented and stressed out. There are always going to be various pressures on you like marriage, work exploitation, juggling between home and work or being the sole breadwinner. You need to accept the fact that your life has these problems and instead of cribbing you need to tackle them with calm and fortitude.</p>
<h4><strong>Do &#8211; Let go your Ego </strong></h4>
<p>Ego is that side of your personality that brags, criticizes, exaggerates, judges, is selfish and self centred. It is normal to have an ego but it should not become a super ego. Remember the time you passed a judgment on your colleague because you didn&#8217;t like her way of dressing or you refused help from your male counterpart because of his gender. This is your super ego at work. The minute you let go of that ego you become a more pleasant, happy, generous and helpful person. People tend to then fall in love with you and you with them thus leaving little space for stress to creep in. You will then see yourself building stronger bonds and relationships that you will treasure.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Things that, as a single person, I have learned to avoid the hard way.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever noticed that many of the best dating advice come from those who are not married or otherwise affiliated? That&#8217;s because when you&#8217;ve been in the trenches for any length of time, there are lots and lots of mistakes that have been made that we writers of dating advice columns hope that you can learn from. As one of the walking wounded, I have the following to offer&#8230;</p>
<p>If your potential significant other tells you that he or she is a bad girl/boyfriend, it is in your best interests to believe that person. Run far, far away. Whether there is a shady past involving restraining orders or if it is just as simple as they know themselves well enough to explain that for the moment, they are emotionally unavailable, listen. You should also count yourself lucky. Most folks aren&#8217;t so willing to wave their red flags so readily. They usually try to hide their ugly side for at least six months.</p>
<p>Never date a person who talks incessantly about their past dating experiences. Thousands of columnists have advised, and wisely, that you should not discuss exes when getting into a new relationship. Anyone idiotic enough not to heed this advice is not worth your time. It is a sure sign that they are not emotionally ready, and if you let them get away with it, you can rest assured that they will never be fully invested in you. Accept the free dinner and or fun night and then head for the hills.</p>
<p>It is an ugly reality that money impacts a relationship, even in the early stages. Of course, in these economic times, it cannot be a huge priority for a potential mate to have a high paying job. But be honest with yourself about what you want. Personally, money or lack thereof is something that&nbsp;can, and should be worked around, but that&#8217;s just me. I think it is far more important that your potential partner has aspirations of some sort, and is enthusiastically working toward those goals. If your guy or girl&#8217;s only excitement in life comes from dating, you are taking on a load, and I don&#8217;t just mean a financial burden, either.</p>
<p>Does your potential significant other have friends that he/she actually goes out with to do social activities? If not, you could be the only interesting thing in that persons life. You DO NOT want to be the only interesting thing in anyone&#8217;s life. That is way too much pressure for anyone. Different sorts of relationships in anyone&#8217;s life provide them with different things. You probably don&#8217;t go to your Dad with the same problems you would go to your Mom with, ditto with brothers versus sisters, and friends versus lovers. No one can or should get every emotional need met by one person, and one person only. And that sort of isolating behavior can be a set up for some dangerous situations.</p>
<p>So there you have it, four big red flags to avoid. Here is hoping that I, personally, do not have to discover more of them&#8230;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A report on the ups and downs of mid-life online dating.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last several years, I considered myself a reformed (or better yet, <i>retired</i>) lifetime dater. I&rsquo;d like to take full credit for this brave and late-coming choice, but a complete surgical hysterectomy pretty much took the wind out of my social sails, at forty-five. After spending the better part of my life single, childless, and continually chasing my own version of the perfect romance, it was actually a bit of a relief. For the next few years, non-dating felt somewhat lonely and strange to me.</p>
<p>But by fifty, my interior life had settled down considerably, allowing me the opportunity to pursue a second college degree, take up a hobby I longed to pursue, and adapt the persona of a mature woman with a real life. Gone were all the awkward first-date insecurities and jealous confrontations of paranoid, new love. Gone, as well, was a lifetime legacy of dear John/dear me notes, delivered all too often as phone or email messages.</p>
<p>So, when the slightest urge to couple resurfaced in my long-hormonally-vacant heart, I first suspected my pharmacist of a serious estrogen switch-a-roo. All of the sudden, my social butterflies were hovering around me like a reverse romantic force-field. What fateful force could possibly induce my leap from the comfort of the celibacy wagon? In a word: Yet-another-dating-site.com. Overwhelmed with curiosity, and, dare I say it, <i>hope,</i> I perused the site for ten or fifteen minutes, then bit into the Internet love-bullet. For those of you whose hands sweat at the thought of taking such a drastic step in the name of new romance, I&rsquo;ve returned from the cloud with some good news, and some bad news.</p>
<p>The good news is, nothing&rsquo;s changed since high school. The bad news is, <i>nothing&rsquo;s</i> changed since high school. In the romance-on-steroids pace of cyber space, dating site members expend their online energies in one of two major ways: The pursuit of ASAP sex, or the practice of serial flirtation. It&rsquo;s as if the Internet has opened a portal to the generalized pubescence rampant in all of us at age seventeen. My first invitation to participate in an instant messaging chat arrived as soon as I posted my new profile and least-damaging photo. This might not be so bad after all, I thought. What began as a friendly conversation with a nice-looking, fiftyish IT guy, rapidly deteriorated into a fly-swatting fest with what turned out to be a disgusting, online porn talker.</p>
<p>And that was day one. I managed to cut off access from the potty-mouthed creep with the convenient, parasite-blocking functionality offered free on the website &ndash; I&rsquo;ll bet it&rsquo;s their most utilized feature. I avoided visiting the site for a few days, and then jumped back on for another try. I also decided to take a new tactic, and make first contact with some potential mates of <i>my</i> choice.</p>
<p>An hour of browsing turned up three distinct possibilities, based on pretty much nothing but handsome photos and charming online profiles. I emailed the trio with crisp, non-committal notes of introduction, and bided my time. Bachelor number one replied within minutes, and offered a similarly staid greeting, but closed with a twist. &ldquo;Could I handle a bad boy?&rdquo; he ventured. A bad <i>what?</i> This guy was easily sixty-five. How much &lsquo;bad&rsquo; could he possibly have left? &lsquo;Bad boy&rsquo; struck me as a man who asked for an attitude for Christmas, but got a Viagra prescription instead. Delete.</p>
<p>Bachelor number two came off sweeter in his initial response. <i>Much </i>sweeter. &nbsp;&nbsp;He then proceeded to email me day and night, attaching cartoon hearts, balloons bouquets, and every other gooey, lovesick messaging icon dating sites provide to induce additional panic in potential mates. And all of this before he shared a single detail about himself. I daresay he was banished to the land of lost socks, as it became clear that his affection, or affliction, in this case, was here to stay.</p>
<p>Bachelor number three responded with a rare combination of tact, kindness, and better than average writing skills. He was easy-going and very nice looking. He also found me &ldquo;funny, attractive and intriguing.&rdquo; Would I like to meet him for coffee tomorrow morning?&rdquo; Now this was my kind of guy! Imagine my delight when he appeared (on time, mind you), looking even better than his dating profile photo. He was a dead ringer for Jeff Bridges. We enjoyed a good chai tea and a solid hour of light-hearted, comfortable conversation. About fifty minutes in, I began to silently entertain notions of movies, dinners-in and baseball games, all in tandem.</p>
<p>Then the sky fell. He asked that absolutely-don&rsquo;t-ever-ask-a-woman-this-on-a-fist-date question. &ldquo;How soon do you think we might start having sex?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Sex? Sex? How did we get on sex? I had just finished delivering the abridged version of my last divorce. He picked up immediately on my unglued look, and proceeded to press further still. &ldquo;Look,&rdquo; he argued, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s just that I&rsquo;m a really sensual, sexual guy, and the last thing I&rsquo;m looking for here is another <i>friend</i> to see a movie with.&rdquo; I was instantly transported back to high school, and imagined myself in the passenger seat of &lsquo;Jeff&rsquo;s&rsquo; Vega hatchback, fending off his passes while trying to watch &lsquo;Jaws&rsquo; at the drive-in.</p>
<p>And so goes the tale of my brief, but seemingly familiar foray into the world of middle-aged cyber-romance. I should be relieved that the face of dating hasn&rsquo;t changed much since I was a youngster. I could hop back in the saddle tomorrow and navigate my way through the usual fray of meaningless sex, secret agendas, and sudden break-ups, changed little with time. Or I could curl up with a good book, and leave the drama to those who still have the stomach for it &ndash; or the writing chops.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[First dates, are a nervous time for both of you, but sometimes, it is the man, who is in need of a bit of coaxing to join the conversation.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That fellow you have been covertly admiring, out of the blue asks you out. Hardly believing your own luck, you say yes. Well, how much time did he really need, for goodness sake. You were starting to doubt if he would ever notice.</p>
<p>Well, did you stop to think that maybe, he&#8217;s just a bit shy? Most men have just as many doubts about themselves as you do, life just doesn&#8217;t happen like it does in the movies, really. Those men that are overly sure of themselves and their own attractiveness &#8211; are up themselves anyway. Being a bit shy, is a bit cute.</p>
<p>So, what about this first date. You are both nervous and this is only natural, possibly, he is a little more so than you.<br />Does he seem a little jumpy, too quick with inane answers? Or maybe, he seems to just have nothing to say. For some men, the first date can be paralysing and a little help, from you, will probably get things rolling. Now don&#8217;t start whinging about having to make the first move with conversation, if you want movie type perfection &#8211; you are going to be a long time lonely.</p>
<p>Usually, the first date involves an ice-cream in the park, or spending dinner with a lot of sharing. A walk in the park, or anywhere, is a great idea for a first date, for the both of you. There is always something to comment on &#8211; trees, flowers, squirrels, other walkers, etc. This will also lead the conversation naturally on to similar subjects, such as hobbies or interests, interesting associated stories, and such like.</p>
<h3><strong>Dinner, Lunch Dates</strong></h3>
<p>Dates like these just need a little jump-start to be more effective. Establishing eye contact with your date will let him know that you are listening, at the very least, look straight at him. Men are instinctively attracted to women&#8217;s faces, in particular, the eyes.</p>
<h3><strong>About You</strong></h3>
<p>To start things off, tell him about yourself, the stuff you want to do and the things you want to try. Then ask his opinion on these matters, as in &#8220;What do you think?&#8221;. If he shows interest, but no knowledge, you could say &#8220;You should come with me sometime, to &#8216;whatever&#8217; it is&#8221;. This will instantly put him at ease, by giving him the knowledge that you are not just here for a free meal &#8211; and want to see him more than this once. Generally, once you get the conversation started, he will join in, a little bit at first, then more as confidence builds. Shy men need to be coaxed into open conversation, so patience is necessary.</p>
<h3><strong>About Him</strong></h3>
<p>Ask him something specific about himself, like what hobbies he has, etc. Steer clear of sports, or cars (unless you too are into it). One thing you can guarantee about most men, is that they love talking about themselves. There is a reason for this, males need to impart as much positive information (to their minds) about themselves as they can, in order to prove to the prospective female, you, that they are a good catch. Unfortunately more often than not, men just won&#8217;t stop banging on about stuff that you have no interest in and even less desire to know about. A male can go from monosyllabic one moment to an out-right bore, in a heart-beat, given the chance. Not many women are aware, but this is very easy to fix.</p>
<p>If your date has gone from mute, to explaining the diameter of the bolts on his favorite &#8220;whatever&#8221;, the trick is &#8211; plow straight through whatever he is saying and start talking about something completely and utterly different. Do not concern yourself about being rude, or offending him, believe me &#8211; he will not notice. He is pursuing you. There is nothing that you can do, within reason, that will not be instantly forgiven and probably forgotten in any case.</p>
<h3><strong>An Important Note:</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;If you notice that his eyes start to glaze over, this generally means that you are taking too long to get to the point. It does not mean that he has lost interest in you, just this bit. Men with relationship experience do this, a sort of suspended animation, the &#8220;self preservation&#8221; part of their brain is keeping track (in case there are questions) and will automatically respond, but the actual animated part of their brain, is thinking about &#8211; well, boy stuff &#8211; nuts, bolts, numbers, sport, boring stuff, etc.</p>
<p>As everyone is different, and rightly so, there are no real set rules to talking to guys on the first date.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm in a relationship. We're happy most of the time. The drama level is low; he says nice things to me on occasion and doesn't cheat. He’s sees a future for us and we discuss it often. So, I’m in a good, healthy, loving relationship. I have friends, girlfriends, that aren't in relationships. They sometimes ask for advice: or more truthfully, I give unwelcome advice on how to have a relationship.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was lying in bed just before I started to write this and thought&hellip;that&rsquo;s just plain stupid. I remember when I wasn&rsquo;t IN a relationship and the advice I got from women that were &hellip;unhelpful (to put it mildly).</p>
<p>So I&rsquo;ve compiled a list as a way to atone for my unsolicited advice. I admit I&rsquo;ve been stupid and unhelpful. To all my single female friends out there: I&rsquo;m sorry for saying the following things.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<h4>You&rsquo;re trying too hard. The right guy is out there for you.</h4>
<p>To be told this by a friend is like hearing you are some sort of wild man stalker, hunting your unsuspecting prey.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>You don&rsquo;t need a man to be happy.</h4>
<p>A little condescending? Try a lot. The friend giving this advice is usually the one deliriously happy with Mr. Perfect while you&rsquo;re stuck with Mr. Perfect&rsquo;s distant cousin, Shiftless Joe.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Have you tried going to church? There are some great single men there!</h4>
<p>Yeah&hellip;right.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Sometimes I wish I was single; you can do whatever you want.</h4>
<p>Yet the friend who says this stays in her relationship. Not exactly leading by example.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>I have a great guy I want you to meet.</h4>
<p>Question: if he&rsquo;s so great, why aren&rsquo;t YOU dating him? Answer: because he&rsquo;s a loser.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>You&rsquo;re too picky.</h4>
<p>Excuse the woman who actually wants a man that she can be around without getting nauseous.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>He wasn&rsquo;t good enough for you anyway.</h4>
<p>And you didn&rsquo;t tell your friend this before&hellip;why?</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Your standards are too high.</h4>
<p>This is very stupid of women to say to one another. Your friend should be glad you have standards&hellip;and not ridicule them. Would she like it if you brought around the smelly guy from the subway that said your hair looked yummy? Nope.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Whatever happened to boyfriend X? He seemed like such a great guy.</h4>
<p>Ah, rehashing the failed relationships of your friend&rsquo;s life is always helpful. The pain, the humiliation&hellip;nothing like it in the world.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>I never liked boyfriend X. I knew he was bad news the first time I met him.</h4>
<p>Such strong feelings are never related when it could have done some good&hellip;like before that guy steals your friends TV and laptop.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>You just date the wrong guys.</h4>
<p>Duh.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>You can&rsquo;t rush a thing like love.</h4>
<p>Double Duh.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>He&rsquo;s not that ugly. Besides, it&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s on the inside that counts.</h4>
<p>Like your friend can&rsquo;t draw the line at men who are hunted at night by angry mobs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>If I were you, I&rsquo;d give him another chance.</h4>
<p>There should be a definitive text on how many chances a person should get&hellip;or maybe a point system. If he steals your car, that&rsquo;s 10 points and automatic breakup but for a 4 point offense, like not calling for 2 weeks, he gets another chance.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Some people are just meant to be alone.</h4>
<p>Maybe, but does it have to be your friend? If so, why is she even talking to you?</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>You make things way too complicated.</h4>
<p>No, they just are.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Have you tried counseling?</h4>
<p>Because your friend might meet a cute doctor perhaps?</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>There are a lot of fish in the sea.</h4>
<p>But there is no motion in your friend&rsquo;s ocean.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>My relationship is not that great (when it really is).</h4>
<p>Sure. Thanks for giving your friend pity.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h4>I never had your kind of problems finding a man.</h4>
<p>That&rsquo;s because you have big boobs.</p>
</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ego! We do not understand why can not people stop and ask directions, up to 40 km in the wrong direction? &#8220;What is not reasonable to ask for directions, you save time, petrol and energy?</p>
<p>It would kill to remember? They remember the names of cricketers from Holland and the assessment of each player has done, but life does not remember buying of birthdays, anniversaries, and gifts. What selective memory is?</p>
<p>Flirtation: You love it) read ogle at women (breasts, even if your date. How, How Rude!</p>
<p>Double Talk: The shake his head, insisting on a conference on gender equality, and then to the payment of invoices at a time, because it is not man enough to pay for the woman. Yeah, right! At least not if one sees. <br />Sloth Speaks: gender equality and women&#8217;s support, how about you give us a hand with the housework?</p>
<p>Possessive &#8230; ugh! They are very possessive. What makes him so sure represented as their male image?</p>
<p>Hypocrisy: They love going out with cool girls, but when it comes to couples who want a simple girl and family. Guys, seems to have to catch up over two centuries. And &#8230; Please hurry with it! <br />The basics of life: a life without alcohol, sex and cigarettes is unthinkable. And, no, do not take the order of importance. </p>
<p>The phallic symbol: You have a birthright to the remote. More like a phallic symbol, they need to stay at home, I think. Superman! They believe that they are superior beings &#8211; a mechanic, engineer, plumber and financial consultant in a box. We&#8217;d love you if you have not made such a big deal out of it!</p>
