Dating Games: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

I'm ready for a real love life.

I'm ready for a real love life.

Tuesday

If I asked you to write down, right now, your top five goals you’d like to achieve in the next 10 years what would they be? You have 30 seconds. Don’t read past this yet until you’re done but my five are below.

Don’t peek!

This is what I came up with, within the 30 seconds.
- have a strong plan for retirement
- travel more
- be more healthy
- have a better relationship with my family
- work less

I’ll tell you, I knew the question, I was prepared and I still took all 30 seconds to get my answers straight and coherent. Having a plan for the next 10 years is not easy.

It’s a tough task to write down on paper (or what have you) your future goals. Even typing it out forms a type of commitment to the goals you’ve stated. And that’s tough. But you should have done this by now.

How else will you be prepared to share your life with someone if you don’t even know how your own life will be turning out in the “near term”.

When you have a life plan, whether it’s a ten year plan, 5 year plan or the “next week plan” (where you’re going to write down what happens to you throughout the week and at the end of the week you’ll look back at the past seven days and plan the next seven days to do better than what your journal shows) you also have to define the steps you need to take to reach your goals.

Besides the fact this this is great conversation material, it’s a great way to begin to figure out what you want out of life and the steps to take to reach those goals.

A good start for a single man and woman is joining a top dating service and doing the best that you can to meet people by sending out that first message to someone you find interesting. If you’re not sure which to join to get started with online dating (then choose one of our top ten online dating service choices and get started.

As a part of your “Welcome to online dating package” I offer you this great headline to use with your dating profile:
“The games are over, I’m ready for a real love life.”

Have a great day!

In Context: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Monday

While I have not formally studied English in an advanced academic atmosphere I do appreciate the language and how not only using our wide variety of words can make our questions and answers very precise, there are always some ways to use other words in questions and answers that may leave your precise answer somewhat less well defined, maybe even rather ambiguous.

It’s the usage and the meaning of words “in context” that when taken “out of context”, or understood with a different purpose in mind we find trouble on the horizon.

Without a certain level of English comprehension in the abilities of the person (or group, committee, etc.,) with which you are conversing any single answer or statement can become something else entirely, misinterpreted or misconstrued.

I really do think that ambiguous words in your dating profile headlines often will get you the attention you desire. But you do want to be certain that in your online profile you should have an understandable answer to the strange headline you have posted. Consider these choice suggestions:
“My road to glory is in motion!”

Have a great day

Fun: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Sunday

It’s been a long day, the day after the night before which was the staff Christmas party.

I’m not too badly hung over, but I certainly appreciate having the day off of work to nurse myself back to hydration.

Sundays are great days to catch up on all the things from the previous week that have been left not done.

This is just my way of saying I am hung over and am going back to bed so I can be ready for a busy Monday.

I want you to get to work on completing or updating your online profile, upload a fresh picture, and search for a date.

You can use this headline suggestion too:
“Fun is my middle name. Really!”

Have a great day!

Opportunity: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

BeardCember is coming!

BeardCember is coming!

Saturday

Are we champions or victims of opportunity?

Now that the late holidays are past us we have just one more to go, Christmas. (Remember, New Year’s is next year!)

My question to you today is: are you where you want to be because of the positive (and good) choices you’ve made or are you in a place that isn’t very kind because fate has dealt you a cruel hand?

We live our lives and do the best we can. I honestly believe that if we can make a positive change in even one other person’s life then we have lived a life that is worthwhile.

Big choices or small changes, either can make a difference in someone else’s life that then will help them to make a positive change for yet another person. A type of “Pay it Forward” that has near and long term results.

The things that we do and write no longer need to be written in stone, they are immediately immortalized online and in places all over the world, mostly unknown but still as close to eternal as current technology allows.

We can be “that person” that has control over their own life, that has compassion for another. As an example I offer you this:
“BeardCember” is coming!

This is a small Facebook group that is bringing some of my friends together to remind of us our fortune and how to share some “Christmas Cheer” while having some fun too. Feel freely invited to join and/or start your own group to share something this Christmas, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Even holding the door open for someone can have an impact that changes their entire day.

Give some thought to what I have written and asked.

For your dating profile headline today I offer you this suggestion:
“This is not a garage sale, it’s an invitation.”

Have a great day!

My Facebook takes me to CNN.com

Going to Facebook takes me to CNN

Going to Facebook takes me to CNN

Please, whoever is in chnage of the Internet, make this stop!

Are the Chinese up to something bad again?

This seems to happen every few weeks or so, I try to go to my Facebook page and instead end up at CNN.com, even when my browser address bar says I should really be on Facebook.com.

Anyone have any ideas about this? I’ll even take conspiracy theories!

Black Friday: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Friday

I would say let the madness begin but for many holiday shoppers they’ve been in line for hours and shopped already and are now back at home, cosily in bed.

Yes, Black Friday has taken it’s first victims.

Now, whether you are at home, at work planning a later shopping trip to forage through the leftovers, I have one word of caution for you: sometimes the deals aren’t that good, so knoiw what you’re buying. Or just wait for the storm to pass and shop at home, online, on Cyber Monday.

Your choice.

Online dating does not have a sale, it’s the same people in different laces, so you have to have your “warrior helmut of love” on and storm the walls of several dating services from not to New Year’s Eve so youeither have a date or you’ve had a few dates and are preparing to ask someone out on another date for New Year’s Eve. That’s our goal now.

To help you on this task I offer this headline for you to use today:
“You like? Let’s chat and maybe we’ll date!”

Have a great day!

Interesting Conversation Topics

This week has again not disappointed us with some interesting and fun things to talk about. But I will be making a trip to the bank…lol…

- Wi-Fi is killing the trees. Dutch researchers have discovered that the closer a tree is to a wi-fi connection the more likely it is to suffer physical harm. Bleeding and deep fissures have been found on trees within a wi-fi region in urban ares while similar trees in rural areas are not showing similar injuries. Anyone ready to open up the cell-phone and cancer discussion again? Or maybe just start shopping for some radiation-sheilding clothing?

- Man leaves life savings on top of car and drives away. Of course he loses all of his money but finds the empty plastic bag later in his frantic search. Yes, there still are people that don’t trust banks and in this day and age who can blame them? But still….

- Big boobs get extra attention. Yes, another lop-sided complaint against the TSA. Eliana Sutherland said “It was pretty obvious. One of the guys that was staring me up and down was the one who pulled me over,’ she said. ‘Not a comfortable feeling.” I have also been objectified so I do understand. Scroll down (in the article), I like the underwear.

- Woman fears breasts will be re-possessed. Three things you don’t want your ex-boyfriend to leave you with: any STD, children and a debt for your breast implants. Yes, times are tough, but no matter how hard the economy makes life there are many things you should not owe money on, including your newly augmented boobs, especially owing the money to a guy you dump.

- Petville rings us $400.00 bill for parents. Another sad Facebook game story but the rules still remain: you’re responsible for what your kids do, online or RL (Real Life).

Hey, have a great weekend. Talk up a storm!

Holidays: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Holding your hand

Holding your hand

Thursday

Happy Thanksgiving is the first thing to say today, in proper company, so I have said it to you. You’re welcome.

Holidays are generally a hard time to start dating someone new. The protocols are all mixed up with who does what, asking a “close stranger” into a hectic family gathering or sad little lonely 4lb turkey you microwave up for your Thanksgiving meal.

The real first rule is this: if you asked them for a first date you also ask them to join your holiday celebration, no matter how crowded or sparse the company will be that you keep. If the invitation for a dinner is made for a meal you do not prepare yourself make sure you are allowed to bring a guest with you. Forcing the host to provide another plate may make for uncomfortable dining for you and your guest.

The second rule is: no gifts are to be exchanged, unless it’s something non-committal as in a box of candy or a bouquet of holiday blossoms.

The third rule of holiday dating is: no booze. While you may give the host of the meal a bottle of something “wine-ish” boozing it up while your date sits in a corner blocking unwanted advances from Uncle Ted while you reminisce with family isn’t a good date memory. So no drinking to the point of being illegal to drive your date home after the meal/gathering.

The fourth rule is: there is no fourth rule, I just wanted to know if I have held your attention this long. Thanks.

My dating profile headline I’d like to offer for your use today is:
“Why are you not holding my hand?”

Have a great day!

Life: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Wednesday

Life is always throwing you curves, don’t you agree?

I mean, I have a career, I have hobbies, a good family life, but still there is not a “constant”. Once you think you have life figured out there’s another crisis-type of event that makes you think a little harder about caring for yourself and your family (those you love are always considered family to me).

Last week my father-in-law received a clean bill of health from his doctor on his annual check-up. the very next day he was in the hospital with chest pains that was later confirmed to be a heart attack. The scary part is that his father died from a heart attack the very next day he received a clean bill of health from his doctor after his annual check-up.

Deja-vu fear scared all of us, let me tell you.

But all is well, this is not a sad story, mostly, the prescription bill has increased exponentially but his health is once again in the “firm” territory.

The reason why I tell you this story is because I want to remind you that life lives in the moment. We can’t expect the unexpected but we can do our best to prepare for change, because there is one thing about life that is constant and that’s change.

For better or worse, life changes our living.

As you ponder whether or not to use today’s headline suggestion (and I hope that you do) I want you to pay particular attention to the type of person you want to attract, to meet, date and maybe even love forever. Because you’re always one message away from fulfilling your relationship dreams. Use this as your dating profile headline today:
“Life happns a moment at a time.”

Have a great day!

This is the Day: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Tuesday

This is the day!

The day that we break the mold on what we’ve been doing before and make a transformation.

This is the day!

The day that what we know to be true about people isn’t necessarily so.

This is the day!

The day that we go with inspired rather than tried and true.

Make the break from the old and move your relationship possibilities into high gear. Smile to the girl you usually duck your head from, a smile in nothing to be embarrassed about, right?

Give the guy from across the room a little wave hello, a little wave is nothing to be embarrassed about, right?

Today we take charge rather than waiting to be grabbed up like bait fish. We do the moving rather than being pulled by the tide, right?

Yes. And your second objective today is to change your dating headline to this:
“Can you hear? I am calling out for you!”

Have a great day!
