It’s quite the interruption to many people that are looking for dates this weekend, literally millions of singles may lose their connection to their online dating service and profile.

This ups the chances for you to find a date easier as many people will not be visiting their online dating service while the power is out.

So get to it, update your profile and change your headline, using our Headline of the Day:
“With weekends like the one past who needs hell?”

Have a great day!

Time To Start Dating Again: Dating Profile Headline of the Day


$1 per Minute - California Psychics

When is the time right to date other people after a relationship breakup?

Why would I write this post when, clearly, you’re dating now and have moved on from your past indulgences (me)? For some people the answer to the above question = a few weeks to a month.

All the more power to you, but are you really setting your previous partner free? Have the feelings you once had entered their own ice age?

To be certain that you’re free and clear of your past relationships, keep away for a couple of weeks, maybe more. Including no emails, texts and phone calls.

After 14 to 28 days you can decide to send an email for them to answer or not, or simply take the next step and ask for a restraining order if you have not been likewise left alone. Did I say keep all copies of they’re emails and texts and voicemail messages?

If you receive texts and emails and voicemails from that person, it shows how much they still need you in their life, even if any type of help will be thrown back into your face. Do yourself a favor and ignore them all.

I’m sure you’ve done all you can. You’ve bit down on the bullets, you’ve drained your bank accounts, and nothing ever was good enough. When the pot of gold empties, some types move on.

But some pass the test. Hey, embrace the challenge and allow for no one else to take the blame for your own current circumstances.

This, basically, is the type of person you want to date.

Your new date should be unencumbered by previous responsibilities and waiting in awe as their new world unfolds before them with you by their side.

Tread carefully and enjoy your new freedoms. My profile headline suggestion for you today to us is:
“I have followed the rainbow and am ready to share the gold I found.”

Have a great day!

Do you like pets? Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Pets can be great friends

Pets can be great friends

What is your favorite type of pet?”

This question (and variations) can be found on most dating membership profile applications. As a question, alone and isolated, it’s harmless enough. Add the answer to the other 20 to 200 questions you may also be asked to complete in your dating service profile and it loses it’s importance, a little. But what if your answer to this question becomes the only reason why you will be contacted for a date or not?

The proper answer to this question is “I’ve been around many animals and if they have a good personality then they’re my favorite.”

Even if you already have a pet, you need to answer the question in a way that shows you have open arms for all pets, similar to my answer above. Don’t get pinned down by one type of pet (dog, cat, fish, bird or whatever), and allow yourself an opportunity to judge the animal on it’s own merits without upsetting the owner, and possible date, before contact has even made. Maybe this will lead to meeting the owner, right?

I’ve given you this example so you can understand the best way to answer a rather generic question that doesn’t give someone that will be reading your answer a reason to pass on by you.

For your dating profile headline suggestion, today I offer you this:
“Four legs, beaks or scales, they’re all friends to me.”

Have a great day!

Normal: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

I like to think that “some” of the small things in life actually give us an open window into our own future.

As your life (spins) into a free-falling state and you’re grabbing onto any small thing that can “return normal” for you, normalcy will return to your life and, by using the right guides, control over your life becomes second nature.

What we percieve to be normal (each in our own unique way) can only be our normal. The main people-varient to normal is whether others see normal the same way we do. And this brings with it plenty of room to guess and get things wrong about other people.

Hopefully they’re not making the same mistakes about us too. And this leads us to today’s personal ad headline that I strongly suggest you use for the next couple of days.

Your next date should be with someone that accepts your invitation with the time that they’re available and having brunch with you is already in mind. Good stuff!

None of that awkwardness surrounding the question you’d otherwise be dying to ask “Do you want to go out for a meal with the?” and fretting for the answer minutes, maybe even days later, because your profile headline has done most of the work for you, in advance.

Post this headline and watch the messages you receive plough into your inbox:
“When is the best time to invite you to a Sunday brunch?”

Have a great day!

Dating Profile Headline of the Day

“People are like sheep, waiting for direction.”

It really doesn’t surprise me any more how much people put their faith in something other than themselves to find direction in their lives. The world is a big scary place and we are often reminded how little we have control over the events around us.

While this may be true in a larger, more general existence, the distinction of what we do and don’t have control over in our day-to-day lives becomes an increasingly blurred line for most.

I’m not saying don’t rely on experts for advice, what I am saying is question their “expertness” until you are satisfied about their veracity.

Show that you stand above the competition and post this cheeky personal ad headline to see how your responses increase:
“Question authority. Go ahead, ask me a question…LOL”

Have a great day!
