Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day

Sunday

Happy Father’s Day, for those of you that celebrate such a “holiday”.

I am not one that believes that holidays have to give you a day off work, but the world might just be a little more calmer if they all did, am I right?

So do two things today:
1. Give your dad the day off of his chores, and/or
2. Call him up and give him a big “Thank you”.

When you have done one of the above, and the next thing I ask you to do too, you can also have the rest of the day off. And if anyone asks why you’re doing nothing, look them straight in the eye and say “Rob said if I did two things today I could have the rest of the day off.” You might get a strange look but wh cars, you still get the rest of the day off, right?

So, the second thing you need to do is to post a new dating headline, like this one:
“This is my new headline, how do you like it?”

Have a great day!

Why Can’t I Get A Girlfriend?

Hot Girl In Bikini

Hot Girl In Bikini

Guy’s, if you need help getting a girlfriend, then settle in because this post is going to lead you to the promised land of dealing with loneliness and being single.

Rejection sucks – get over it

The first thing you have to face is that by actively looking for a girlfriend you’re going to get rejected too. A lot. And it isn’t necessarily you that is getting rejected, not as a whole man, but you’re getting rejected because of the things you do. Because of a part of you.

Get it? Good.

You need “retraining” because what you’ve been told so far (and what you’ve been doing, clearly isn’t working.

It is OK to have girls as friends. Of course it is. But as soon as you have feelings for a girl you have to switch into “boyfriend mode” and not stay in “friend mode” because if you don’t make the change, sure you won’t get rejected by her but she will not really get that you want more, that you want to be her girlfriend… understand?

Are You Her “Girl Friend vs Girlfriend” Test

If you are her “girl friend”, that is, listening while she complains about her latest jerk boyfriend, seeking consoling from you, then you are acting as if you are another one of her “girl friends” and not being taken as possible “boyfriend material” by her.
Sure, you understand her, you do console her. Hell, maybe you even offer her relationship advice, all the while dying inside. “Why can’t she see that you’re the best boyfriend she’d ever have” you wonder to yourself. Dude, she doesn’t think you even have a penis. Why? because you’re a girl to her.
If you actually want to date her, and you’ve done all that other crap, then my advice to you is to STOP right now.
Take a three day break from her. Why? Because you’ve been seeing her way to much while she’s seeing someone else, that’s why. And if she says “Hey, why haven’t we met up, or texted, or emailed, or whatever, you tell her (during this three day break) that you just have some stuff to deal with but want
to meet up with her again in a couple of days.
At the end of the three day break from her (the girl you want to become your girlfriend) you contact her, but not by whatever the previous way was before. If you texted, emailed or IM’s her, mostly, now is the time to take that big step and actually call her… on the phone… hear her voice.
And when you do talk with her, on the phone, you will say that you’ve been having a hard time realizing that she just doesn’t see you as boyfriend material. And she will offer excuses and also try to console you (“I have a lot of friends that would love to meet you” she’ll say) but will not ask why you want to choose you. She won’t ask because it might take seconds, it might take hours or even days, for her to realize that yes, you have a penis, and might have wanted something more than friendship all along.
Give her time. And if she doesn’t see a future with you and her dating, dump her. Not ending all contact but certainly stop being her “girl friend” and stop being so immediately available and stop helping her troubled relationship continue. You can still be friends with her, just not as close, not why she’s still dating the jerk.
Yes it’s true, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and if you’re unavailable a few times you might just give her time to miss you… which is all part of the master plan for her to decode to date you (after the final straw has been thrown down because he cheated on her again, or whatever the ‘jerk’ did to the woman you want to date.
Hold your ground, wait for her to come to you.

Or Stop Holding That Torch!

OK, before I go further you have to know that I’m not going to have all the answers you seek, not in a single post, but there are some guys that have written not only some great articles but also some great books and DVD programs that will help you “find your way”.
So you might want to do some additional reading here, on www.alovelinksplus.com starting with:
David Deangelo
Ross Jefferies
Joseph Matthews
and R Pseudomen, just to name a few.
Oh, and David Wygant, my favorite dating coach for guys because understands the rejection part of beginning to date and he has some great tips to share with you, to counter a woman’s rejection and still get her to be with you.

Too often we find a girl we like, but because we’re afraid of being rejected by her, we play little games (unintentionally) like being her friend, IMing her a lot. Maybe texts and phone calls to.
You comfort zone is reached and you share things with this girl, and she does too, about subjects that you’d never talk to anyone else about.
And what ends up happening is that you’ve made a friend, but not someone that wants to date you. And you carry on, holding that torch for her, shining the light of love onto yourself (which, by the way is not a superpower) which she cannot see.
Stop doing that. Here’s another rule:

You are not allowed to date only one woman when, currently, you’re not dating any women right now anyways.

Stop holding out to date that one girl! There are many other opportunities that you are missing, usually right in front of your eyes, because you’re behaving like such a wussy that: you can’t get the girl you want, and; the girls that want you are overlooked, intentionally. (I say intentionally because that’s what it is. The girls that want to date you aren’t even noticed by you, you are so infatuated with that one girl. Sad really, quite sad.)

I’m going to end this post now because I think that I’ve shocked your system enough for one day and that I’ve provided more than enough information, and links, to keep you occupied for a while.

Saturday

Hello? Can we talk?

There’s been some talk about the profile you posted a while back. People have been saying that it’s full of half-truths and outright lies.

Yes, about yourself.

So, today being Saturday, you should have a few minutes to correct what’s “inaccurate” and a “little dated’ in your profile.

Let’s start with today and work backwards instead of starting back a few years and moving towards today, ok?

When your profile begins in the present you’ll find that people can relate more to you, because they share the same time that you do. Save your history stories for another time, like maybe after the 4th or 5th date.

Once you’ve done all of your rewriting you can also change your headline to this:
“Brand new profile, same great person!”

Have a great day!

Friday’s Conversation Topics

When you need something to talk about…

This is the blog that brings to you the best conversation topics to chat about tonight and through the weekend. Read the headline, my comments and follow through the the story. Now you know the rules, let’s get started:

- Kinect and Move: motion control expanding beyond the Wii. I don’t know about you but I’m a more than a little excited about playing some games without fumbling with controllers. I never could figure out whether to punch the A, B L2 button, or whatever it might be. Games that use the keyboard to move and shoot are just as bad for me, unlearnable. But I might make a great “human controller”. LOL. Kinect and Move might just get me in the game again, after all, Wii bowling only takes you so far.

- Apple’s iPhone4. Does anyone else see the growing storm that starts with a computer maker that sells more music, phone and ebook readers (under various guises) than computers could bring to humanity? Am I the last calm voice that sees the control that is being handed over by the plebes?


- The Big Bang Followed by The Big Wheeze – The astrophysicists have figured it all out: 13.7 billion years ago (+/- 2%) is when this whole thing started. And if you want to appear intelligent, you’ll read this article and learn something, even if it isn’t all figured out yet.

- Goose with arrow in neck evades capture again. With pictures. This is one of those stories that you have to read (and see) to believe.

Have a great weekend!

Dating Profile Headline of the Day

You smile-o-meter for the day

You smile-o-meter for the day

Friday

Smile… you look so good when you smile.

Smiles are built-in emotion meters. They appear during the good times and disappear in the bad times.

I wonder if there was ever a study about Wall Street brokers and how much they smile in relation to the performance of the stock market.

Anyways, when you can write a headline that smiles you have a distinct advantage over everyone else that is posting a profile and headline because you’re will give the reader a positive emotion and create basic curiosity about yourself.

Here are some headlines that smile, you can pick one to post as your headline today:
- “I can see rainbows in your eyes”
- “Can you smile for the real thing?”
- “I have never been in a Starbucks”
- “It has never rained on my parade”
- “Unicorns and bunny rabbits, I have had some strange dreams”

Have a great day!

Making A Geat First Impression

What does her body language tell you?

What does her body language tell you?

Tips to making a great first impression.

First off, let’s face reality: people will judge you, fairly or not, within the first couple of minutes after meeting you.

The first response, to fight or flight, is an automatic unconscious decision that we all make. Once that decision has been made the next action is whether there is attraction or not.

Both of these decisions are automatic and if you’re not at your best, and making a great first impression, you’ll fail and it’s then that much harder to attract someone.

When you do want to make the first impression the best it can be you have to:
be clean
be polite
be well-dressed
smile

You also need to keep a positive body language position. That means no hunching over, no crossing the arms across your chest and try to avoid the nervous laugh, it’s a big turn-off. When you speak to someone look them in the eyes, not at their chest, not over their shoulder.

These simple tips, when practiced and used, will help you make the best first impression ever!
