My Wish For You: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Good, Better, Best: Have you ever thought of this as your dating profile headline?

The art of writing a headline for your online personalized is something that a lot of us don’t fine-tune very well.

Spontaneity, as well as realism, is generally demanded.

However, if you can pull off a small joke inside of the usual 80 characters that are allotted for a profile headline you’re going to get a lot more responses.

It’s all about standing out from the crowd, or more importantly, being at the top of the list of the search results.

Don’t forget about originality either, after all if all of the headlines seem similar or the same you’re just one in a crowd lost, in the blur of colorful webpage.

If you take any one of the personality and intimacy tests that are on the aLoveLinksPlus.com you will find parts of your personality that other people can identify with, and you will find the path that will lead to the love of your life.
http://www.alovelinksplus.com/test/

Every step of life has a stage and the direction and it’s our need to walk forward positively along the path that we have. But we do so blindly, feeling around our way in the dark, sometimes unsure of our own existence in a sea of people.

Of strangers.

While I endeavor to offer you a new online personal ad headline every day on my blog, it is up to you to decide which is most fitting, which is the most personal of the personal ad headlines I offer to you.

Our goals are the same to reach out and find that someone special.

It is my most fervent wish for you.

My suggestion for a personal ad headline today is this:
“I was blind and now I see that love is still before me.”

Have a great day!

One Quick Minute: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Join Match For Free

Join Match For Free

One quick minute is all it takes.

And anything could happen:
- You’re hit by a car
- You catch a cold
- You fall in love

If you broke your life down into minutes, you’d find parts of time that reflected work periods, rest periods, entertainment activities, etc., you’re likely to spend less than 60 minutes of your life time actually falling in love.

Sure, the “Extreme Love Period”, when everything is as good as it gets lasts a lot longer, but the minute of realization that brightens your world, of the realization you are in love, is time spend rarely and quickly.

Your job, as a woman is to make that moment last forever; and as a man your job is to provide everything the woman needs to fulfill her part. (It’s called loving, respectful love – try it the next time you’re world is aglow with romantic possibilities.)
[Women] [Men]

For your dating profile headline give this one a try:
“This is your best chance to end your search for love today. Email me!”

Have a great day!

Do You Have Love Potential? Or Have You Never Found Your Tongue?

I was taking a drive to get a couple of packs of cigarettes when I ended up on the highway. I felt a moment of freedom and stood on that gas pedal until I realized that I could lose my license for the pleasure of passing other cars at close to the speed of light.

I did get my smokes and I did make it home.

And I came upon a realization:
The only enjoyment in life is when you’re actually enjoying life.

We are slaves to the “routine”, chained to the “life” that we think is the right path. What if we are wrong?

Do you remember your first love? Of course you do. We all have those memories of innocence, youth and love.

The memory persists but the love was lost and if you think back to that episode of your life you’ll find the reason why you lost on love.

And it’s not for me to tell you why, you already know.

Inexperience and the inability to communicate intelligently without losing your voice to the emotional feelings of love is the big wall that your love could not develop around. It sure was mine, way back then.

As we get older, and gain experience and understand the world around us and our place in it, love becomes harder to find but no less than our assured ability to communicate to others can remain to be that big wall that still obstructs us from finding and managing love.

There is help.

Isn’t Love Grand? Your Credit and Dating

Love and money

Love and money

I love love, really I do.

The days seem brighter, everyone sees you smiling and secretly you know that they know that you’re in love and that’s why they’re smiling back at you.

Love is great!

Have you ever heard the phrase “Love and money”?

Love and money go hand-in-hand to bring the brightest days. When you’re in love there can be little expense you would not encumber yourself with to make your loved one’s existence a little more perfect, a little less stressful.

And therein lies the crux of the matter. Love and money and the willingness to be a great provider/lover.

Throughout your life, including your online dating adventure, somone at sometime will ask you for money. It may not be a loan but a gift they ask for. Help with an outstanding bill (big or small), or maybe simply your signature on a piece of paper to allow your new love to get a mobile phone, or the electricity turned back on.

You are put on the spot to prove your love through a financial arrangement that helps your lover out of a bind or makes their life just a touch less stressful.

And we all want to help, to be the savior of this unfairness that we now see our partner suffering.

It may just be a few dollars, it may just be a signature on a line. But with these actions you put your credit on the line and even worse, these decisions will (not could) make or break your relationship.

If you are asked for money make sure you get a promissory note that your lover signs that acknowledges not only the loan but also the repayment plan. You can easily find a promissory note sample online and a free fax service, if needed, to use to have the note signed.

If your lover is bold enough to use your relationship for financial help then you need to step up and protect your interests by having a loan document signed by them.

If they are asking you to risk your credit by signing on the dotted line to get them a mobile phone account then you need to seriously consider if you can handle the payments on your own should the relationship terminate.

Because contracts only end at the time specified but love can end in a heartbeat.

If you don’t have a handle on what your current credit score is or what your credit report says about your financial health then I urge you to take the steps needed to know that your credit score is and what the financial companies you deal with are saying about your credit-worthiness. “Get Equifax 3 Bureau Credit Report and Scores Now!”

Here are a few horror stories to help you understand that this issue can arise with anyone at any time.

- Love May Be Blind, But MoneyGram Recommends Keeping Eyes Wide Open To Avoid Risk of Romance Scam

Do You Like Candles? Dating Profile Headline of the Day

What are the three things that are the most important during a dinner date?

The man, the mood and the momentum.

Yes, the pressure is on you to be at your best.

The Man: You’ve got to be the man that sparks not only her curiosity to want to learn more about you but you have to be the man that she wants to be with because of your actions and positive attitude.

The Mood: Don’t bring troubles to the dinner table. The last thing anyone wants to hear, especially a dinner date, is about the awful day you’ve had or issues in your past. Stay upbeat and she will too.

The Momentum: Have a plan of conversation topics based on the interests she has first and what you share second. Be a great listener, ask good questions that do not require a simple yes or no answer and you’ll carry the dinner date to a successful conclusion that will leave her wanting more.

For your personal ad headline today give this a try:
“Can you hear the song in the air tonight?”

Have a great day!

About Your Life: Dating Profile Headline of the Day


Have The Relationship You Want eBook
Your life is not an answer to a ‘yes or no’ question.

Life is full of maybes and needs and desires. Also rounded out with plenty of ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something (legal and proper) because we all have the power to accomplish something, many great things, in our lives. And to greatly enhance the lives of others, especially those near and dear to us.

Do you want to make someone feel special?

Love them with all you have, with everything you have and in every way that you can. Because what you have might not last and the opportunity to make someone feel the love you have for them could be lost – forever – in a moment.

When you leave this place do so without regret because regret is the one wound that will never heal.

For the headline of your online personal ad try this to capture the heart of someone special:
“What could I share with you to make you feel loved?”

Have a great day!

Twas The Night Before Christmas (Chatroom Version)

Christmas Wishes from Santa!

Christmas Wishes from Santa!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house people were stirring, they were clicking a mouse.

They clicked to go here and they clicked to go there, they knew St. Nick would still be coming with gifts for their care.

The boys searched for girls and the girls searched for boys, the men searched for women and the women, well, the women waited for the men to be found.

Chatlines were logged into and bookmarked with care, and friends shared their bookmarks listed in “Google Docs with share”.

When suddenly in a forum their arose a great clamor, webcams jumped to life and men were showing their “personal power”.

There were shrieks and there were moans and then suddenly there were stones. Good old St. Nick had entered the room and had seen the naughty men, rocks of coal St. Nick let fly, knocking the men’s “personal power” back into their desks.

“Oh Danner, oh Blitzen” cried good old St. Nick, “Dial 911 and Dateline and make these men pay for their perverted trick!”

With a shout of “Let’s go!” old Nick jumped on his sleigh, he whipped back the reins and told the reindeer “Let’s get out of here!”

“We have childrens toys to deliver and must make good time this eve, let those men find Perverted Justice and that guy on TV!”

And with a mighty roar St. Nick was in the air, reminding to others to always beware!

Why VERY INTELLIGENT Men Fail With Women

The Ten Reasons Why HIGHLY INTELLIGENT Men Fail With Women… AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT…
By David DeAngelo

I’ve been teaching men how to become more successful with women and dating for a several years now… and one “problem scenario” just keeps coming up OVER AND OVER… and OVER
and OVER and OVER again…

…and it’s really amazes me.

I’m going to refer to it as “The Genius Failure Paradox”.

“The Genius Failure Paradox” is the tendency for UNUSUALLY intelligent men to have very LOW levels of success with women and dating.

After contemplating this particular paradox, discussing it, and working on it for an awesome amount of time, I’d like to share my thoughts about it with you.

I assume that if you’ve read this far, then you see probably yourself as smarter than the average guy.

You know that you’re a little different than other guys.

You probably realized at a young age that you saw things differently, and thought differently than others in school…

And you’ve probably realized that your smart mind gives you an advantage over others in many areas of life…

Your smart mind gives you a particular type of advantage that can be very, very powerful in life: YOU’RE USUALLY RIGHT.

Smart people get used to being “right”, because they usually ARE right.

And when you’re RIGHT more often than others, you can get ahead in many situations.

But unfortunately, this smart mind of yours can actually be WORSE than USELESS when it comes to a key area of life:

WOMEN AND DATING.

By the way, I did say WORSE than useless.

It can actually be like having a hammer when you need to tighten a bolt. If you use the tool you have for the job, you’ll most likely make the situation WORSE.

Of course, it’s hard for a smart guy to even IMAGINE a situation where his smart mind could HURT his chances for success…

But trust me, this is one of those situations.

So relax, open your smart mind, and let me share with you the ten reasons why smart guys fail with women… and what to do about it.

REASON #1: THEY’RE WRONG, BUT THEY CAN’T OR WON’T SEE IT OR ADMIT IT

I mentioned that smart guys are used to being RIGHT in most situations.

And what do most smart guys do when they come across a situation where they’re WRONG?

They find a new situation… one that fits their strength. They know they’ll be right next time, so they just walk away… knowing that it won’t be long before they’re right again.

(OR they let the “problem situation” destroy them… more on that later.)

Well, the BITCH about being wrong when it comes to women and dating is THERE’S NOWHERE TO RUN AND HIDE.

There’s no quick “I’m right” around the next corner to make you feel better.

It only takes “failing” with a few women in a row for a smart guy to see the pattern… and realize that something isn’t working.

Solution? Think harder.

A smart guy just assumes that his logic must be good… so he just keeps thinking harder.

But when no success comes, it really starts
to become mentally difficult.

Accepting that you’re wrong is a VERY hard thing for a “smart guy”.

Accepting that you’re not only wrong, but you have NO CLUE WHERE TO EVEN START is even more difficult.

Ultimately, many smart guys come up with the following logical conclusion:

I AM A SMART GUY, THEREFORE IF I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH WOMEN AND DATING, THEN THE PROBLEM MUST NOT BE SOLVABLE OR WORTH SOLVING.

Try that on for a self-defeating idea.

REASON #2: THEY’RE BLIND AND ARROGANT

In short, many smart guys refuse to accept that a good, solid, workable answer could come from someone “dumber” than them, so they discount any idea that comes from an “obviously less intelligent person” before trying it.

Let me ask you a question:

If you were going to be walking across Africa on foot, would you rather have your guide be the guy on this planet with the highest I.Q., or a caveman who lived a million years ago that had an I.Q. of about 50… but who grew up being chased by lions and all kinds of animals that wanted to eat him all his life?

It’s an interesting question.

Now, hopefully you’d like to have the guide who isn’t the smartest guy around… but who has escaped from many, many dangerous situations with deadly animals…

But now let me ask you:

If you’d like to learn how to be more successful with women and dating, would you take advice from a guy who isn’t very intelligent, but who knows how to attract women?

There’s something about being smart that makes some guys unwilling to accept input, ideas, or instruction from anyone who isn’t either as smart or smarter than them.

Well, any SMART GUY can see the folly in this particular approach… once it’s examined closely.

If you’ve been making this mistake, then you need to STOP IT. Stop being an arrogant bastard, and open your eyes.

Look around.

Learn from some “dumb” guys… and let them teach you how to get what you REALLY want.

REASON #3: POOR SOCIAL SKILLS

It BLOWS MY MIND how many smart guys I meet that just don’t GET IT when it comes to basic social skills.

It’s as if they have logically reasoned that social skills are for lower beings who need to play games… and not worth the time it would take to learn them.

In fact, I believe that there are a lot of smart guys running around this planet who don’t even have “social skills” and “be a cool guy that people like” in their “MENTAL MODEL” of what it could possibly take to be successful with women and dating.

Social skills are just that… SKILLS.

They’re not social INFORMATION.

They’re not social THEORIES.

They’re social SKILLS.

And you don’t get them by THINKING about them. You get them by GETTING them.

Excellent social skills are the foundation for good communication with other humans… and if you don’t have good social skills, you dramatically lower your chances for success with women.

REASON #4: THEY PSYCH THEMSELVES OUT

Smart guys do something that fascinates the hell out of me…

They come up with all the reasons why everything WON’T WORK when it comes to women and dating.

They actually figure out why what they would like to do will probably fail…

They use their amazing creative imaginations to imagine all kinds of horrible pictures and scenes… and then they use those imaginary outcomes to create negative emotions… which ultimately stop them from having success with women and dating.

THEY DON’T EVEN TRY.

Now, if you’ve thought something through and come up with a good reason why it would fail, it makes sense to not do it, right?

I mean, why would you want to do things that are going to fail?

It’s sound logic, but HORRIBLE thinking when it comes to the REAL WORLD… and success with women.

Because smart guys don’t UNDERSTAND women, and they don’t UNDERSTAND what it takes to be successful with women, they are working with bad figures. They’re wrong before they even start figuring!

Using your mind to come up with all the reasons why things won’t work in this area of your life leads to ULTIMATE FAILURE.

You must learn to overcome this habit if you have it.

REASON #5: THEY SEEK ONLY “INFORMATIONAL SOLUTIONS”

What does a smart guy do when he runs into a problem… or he needs to figure something out?

He looks for INFORMATION to help him solve the problem.

MORE INFORMATION is always the answer.

Information is the friend of a smart guy.

Got a strange virus on your computer? Just hop on the internet and search for how to eliminate it.

Don’t know how to change the alternator on your car? No prob. Just buy the manual and turn to page 147.

Don’t know the definition of a word? Open up your dictionary.

MORE INFORMATION solves the problem.

So what do smart guys do when it comes to overcoming a problem with women?

They want MORE INFORMATION.

They think the answer lies in learning just ONE MORE TECHNIQUE… or one more magic concept.

Well what if there were a situation in life where the “get more information” strategy actually made things WORSE?

How would you even know that it was making things worse?

Now, I don’t want to suggest that learning more about how to be successful with women is a bad thing. It’s not.

But if you have a problem that is EMOTIONAL or PHYSICAL in nature, then reading five million theories on it probably isn’t going to help you very much.

You need to get out in the real world and try some stuff!

You need to look at the REAL problem… the ROOT of the problem.

When it comes to women and dating, there’s a very good chance that you have MORE than enough “information”.

Smart guys often use “more information” to distract them from TAKING ACTION.

I’ve heard this referred to as “Creative Avoidance”.

Nod silently if you’ve ever figured out a creative way to avoid facing something in your life.

Good, thank you.

REASON #6: THEY FOCUS ON LOGIC INSTEAD OF EMOTION

NEWS JUST IN: Women don’t feel ATTRACTION for men who make them THINK.

Women feel ATTRACTION for men who make them FEEL.

So what do most smart guys do when they first meet a woman?

EXACTLY!

They get into a LOGICAL CONVERSATION.

I’m shaking my head right now…

Smart men try to engage women in LOGICAL conversations and interactions because that’s where THEY feel comfortable… not knowing that they’re SHOOTING THELSEVES IN THE FOOT by doing it!

Get this: A monkey sitting at a typewriter will type the collected works of Shakespeare before you will make a woman feel ATTRACTION for you by engaging her in logical conversation.

When you start a logical conversation with a woman you’ve just met, you are basically taking out a NEON SIGN that says “I don’t get it when it comes to women” and putting it on your head.

Typical “logical” conversations include talking about work, family, school, and jobs… discussing politics, religion, weather… and anything that has to do with math, science, or INTELLIGENCE.

On the other hand, if you start talking to a woman and you say “OK, so tell me something… Why is it that all women say that they want sweet, nice guys… but they all date sexy, selfish bad boys?” (and then make fun of any answer she gives) you’re having an EMOTIONAL conversation.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, keep reading. You need more help than I thought.

REASON #7: THEY’RE NOT USED TO THE CHALLENGE OF THE MOMENT

Smart people usually have time to THINK about things.

If you’re taking a test, you can sit there and work out the answers.

If you have a math problem, you can work on it until you’ve figured it out.

If you’re trying to fix something, you can keep working on it until it’s fixed.

Smart guys are used to being able to take at least a LITTLE bit of time to prepare and show off their “good sides” in most situations.

Not so with women…

If you don’t know what to do at every step along the way, you’ll be shut down very quickly.

Women have an AMAZING “He doesn’t get it” radar system.

Women have all kinds of subtle and ingenious tests that they throw at men to separate the “get its” from the “don’t get its”.

And if you don’t get it, then you’re going to fail one of these tests VERY quickly.

But the worst part is that you won’t ever KNOW that you were being tested… OR that you failed.

Smart guys aren’t used to dealing with complex EMOTIONAL and COMMUNICATION challenges in the moment… and especially the “women and dating” kind.

One of they keys to becoming more successful with women and dating is learning to handle all of the tests that women throw at you effortlessly.

But before you can learn how to deal with the tests, you must first learn how to communicate on an emotional level, how to demonstrate that you have fundamental social skills, and how to keep your cool in the moment.

REASON #8: THEY THINK THAT DOING “NICE” THINGS IS THE “SMART WAY”

OK, let me ask you a trick question:

If I told you that you were going to have a date with the supermodel of your choice, which of the following would you choose as a “smart” way of preparing:

1) Find out what her favorite type of flowers are, and show up with a dozen of them so she would be “wowed”.

2) Learn about her favorite travel destination so you could discuss it with her.

3) Find out what her favorite type of food is so you could take her to dinner… and she could see that you cared enough to choose something that she enjoyed.

OK, time’s up. Which did you choose?

Now, I already mentioned that this was a TRICK question.

The answer is NONE OF THE ABOVE.

But WHY?

These three options all seemed logical, right?

I mean, why WOULDN’T you want to show up with her favorite flowers?

Why WOULDN’T you want to talk about her favorite places to travel?

Why WOULDN’T you want to take her to eat her favorite foods so she enjoyed herself?

Go with me here…

Smart guys think that they’re being CLEVER when they do things like buying a woman her favorite flowers… and bringing them to the FIRST DATE.

Right?

In their minds, they’re thinking “I’m going to be the guy who is thinking ahead… and I’m going to show up with the flowers that I KNOW she loves… and she’s going to see them and like me more because of it”.

Makes sense… good math, right?

Well the one teensy-weensy mistake that these “smart” guys make is not realizing that it doesn’t actually take a smart person to think like this!

In fact, ANY jackass can figure out how to kiss a woman’s ass.

And guess what?

WOMEN KNOW THIS!

And guess what else?

EVERY WUSSBAG DOES THIS STUFF.

An intelligent guy, in his proud arrogance, will think he’s being such the charmer by using this “thoughtful” approach…

…and the woman he is chasing will interpret it as just another Wussy who’s trying to MANIPULATE her.

Ouch. Another blow to intelligence.

MISTAKE #9: ALWAYS NEEDING TO BE THE EXPERT

Have you ever met a smart guy who always needed to be “right”?

Have you ever met someone who would actually argue with you about something they knew nothing about… and make a fool of themselves because they just couldn’t shut their “smart mouths”?

Over the last few years helping guys improve their success with women, I see this one pattern over and over again…

Smart guys don’t like to be “beginners” at ANYTHING.

They don’t like the idea of screwing up… especially if others are watching.

They want to maintain this “smart guy” image of themselves… so they try to always be “The Expert” at whatever they do.

Instead of saying “Hey, you know what? I’m a beginner at this… how do I do it? What should I do first? What next?”… and instead of being totally OK with screwing up, making mistakes, and making a fool of themselves in front of others in order to LEARN…

…they won’t risk embarrassment, failure, or others thinking that they’re beginners… so they wind up ultimately FAILING.

MORE NEWS JUST IN: It’s OK to be a beginner.

MISTAKE #10: THEY CAN’T DEAL WITH FEAR AND OTHER EMOTIONS

A smart guy’s STRENGTH is his MIND.

His WEAKNESS is often his EMOTIONS.

Smart guys are often IMMOBILIZED by FEAR.

Totally stopped.

FROZEN.

And since many smart guys aren’t comfortable dealing with things they’re not good at, they just repress or RUN away from fear.

Many men would rather DIE in lonely isolation than admit that they don’t know how to deal with their emotions… or, GODFORBID, ask for help!

Hey, I went for YEARS like this.

I know what it’s like.

But the reality is that any guy can learn to handle and even MASTER his emotions (even fear)… if he just takes the time and effort to learn HOW to do it.

If this is you, then do yourself a big favor… take the time. Take the effort.

Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks of you… it doesn’t matter.

What matters is you doing the things that YOU need to do FOR YOU.

…I think the reason why I’m so fascinated with “The Genius Failure Paradox” is because I have had to struggle with all of these issues for a lot of years of my life.

Now, I’m not saying that I’m the smartest guy on the planet…

But I don’t think mamma raised no fool.

And it always bothered the hell out of me that even though I was so good at figuring things out, I couldn’t figure WOMEN out.

Something tells me that you know what I’m talking about.

Well, after beating my head against the wall for a few years… trying all kinds of crazy “logical” stuff… I finally got the “bright” idea to start studying guys who were “naturally” good with women.

Of course, I found out that you could be both NOT SMART, and VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH WOMEN at the same time.

I also learned that you can be SMART and VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH WOMEN too.

By carefully studying what the “naturals” did with women… and learning how they “thought” about the topic, I began to realize that success with women wasn’t entirely LOGICAL.

Much of what I learned was very tough for me to accept… because my logical brain just didn’t want to buy into it.

One thing I saw was guys pushing women away from them… and having the women then chase them in response.

Made no sense at all.

I saw guys tease beautiful women and make jokes about them to their faces… and then watched those women become “little girls” in response… unable to maintain their composure, and therefore unable to maintain their manipulative power…

It took me quite a long time, but I continued to learn, test, and refine what I was learning until I personally figured out how to approach women in any situation… get any woman’s number I wanted anytime I wanted… date any type of woman I wanted…

…and most importantly, GET RID of that “empty” feeling that I carried around my whole life because I didn’t know how to attract women.

And once I got this area of my own life together, I decided to help other guys get this area of THEIR lives together.

Friday’s Popular Conversation Topics

We have entered that special time of year, that usually shows us consumerism at its highest demand and honesty at its lowest.

Yes, I watch the stock market and at this time of the year there is often a few weird selling patterns that appear consisting of the everyday man-woman-investor cashing in to pay the anticipated bills of the season.

I’m not talking just cash for gift buying. Business people need cash (liquidity) for the new calendar year, parents need to pay the bills for the upcoming school semester. Hell, maybe a guy plans for a very special Valentine’s Day to be pre-paid after the big marriage proposal surprise on Christmas Eve (I did that one).

Sadly, the world markets are out of control, real investor values are all over the board and that doesn’t include the run on the stock market still to come, knocking of hundreds from the stock market indexes in what are normally slow, almost no ripple trading sessions until after the new year.

And all of this leads up to the stories you need to know about so you have some awesome current events to share at the dreaded office party or that lonely corner bar stool tonight. Read and enjoy, here we go!

- Too sexy for that veggie. An Islamic cleric living in Europe reportedly has warned Muslim women not to get too close to bananas, cucumbers or other produce — to avoid having “sexual thoughts.” Hahahahaha ho. Gotta wonder which “western video” sent this cleric holy man onto this particular line of thought. I know it’s not the same guy that said women shouldn’t drive because it may affect their virginity.

- “I never intended to break the rules.” For a final payout of $12.1 million dollars I wouldn’t know too much about my bankrupt company either. Just saying….

- This is the guy in the running for Last Place Criminal Dufus of the yYear. There’s a video, below, too. But essentially dude snoops on his girlfriend’s teen daughter’s phone, found a nude pick of her and sexted the picture to almost 40 of her contacts to “teach her a lesson”. I can only guess that a couple of the kids might say the photo is old news but this guy has a fun time in store for the holidays and I hope he remembers his “soap on a rope”.

- Where would we be without a heart-fely gift shopping story? Right here is the answer. Dude with a .322 blood alcohol level is arrested for trying to steal 2 big screen TVs from Wal-Mart while he’s wearing the same coat he stole two days earlier from said store. They never said if it was the booze or the greed that gave him away. Too bad, one of those TVs was supposed to be my holiday gift!

- This will not be abused because it’s lobbyists and politicians making gift giving rules for lobbyists and politicians to receive gifts from one and another in time to give and receive this holiday season. Albeit belatedly because the new rules start January 1, 2012. State lawmakers and city council members can accept expensive gifts from lobbyists without disclosure if they are dating, and can receive meals and lodging in lobbyists’ homes without telling the public, under rules approved Thursday by the state ethics agency.

I told you it was a special time of year.

Even Teddy knows what to do!

Even Teddy knows what to do!

You have your list, you’ve checked your budget twice.

Now you’re at the mall, alone, and have the job of a lifetime ahead of you: selecting gifts while picking up women. In a nutshell you’ll be looking for single women shoppers that catch you’re interest and like any good plan you have to have a pick-up line, or two, that will be your introduction and segue into treating her for a coffee date for her helping you.

Your pick-up lines:
1) “Hi, can you help me? I’m looking for a gift for my sister’s boyfriend. Gifts have to be under $20.00 and I think he’s into collecting socks to wear to work. And my name is Robert, what’s yours?”
2) “Hello, your holiday shopping is seems like it’s in order, can you spare and idea or two? My great aunt is joining us this year for Christmas and I want to get her a gift but i can’t think what does someone in their 90′s need? I’ really appreciate a couple of ideas if you can help me out. My name’s Robert, what is your name?”
3) “Wow, look at all these toys, I haven’t heard of most of them. Can you spare an idea or two to help me find a fun gift for my 6 year old nephew. By the way, my name’s Robert, what’s yours?”

The lines above contain all of the needed structure that will give you a very good “in” for the beginning of not only introducing yourself to a prospect but also describing in just enough detail a request for help that makes it seem to not be a cheesy pick-up line but a sincere plea for help from a nice guy that is genuinely out of his comfort zone: shopping for gifts.

Of course you’ll need to customize the lines and add a few ones to better match your gift buying list, the “recipients” and for your personality but that shouldn’t be too difficult.

Keep the cost of the items low, $20.00 or so, again depending on your budget and needed gifts. The single women will be looking for something for a friends or family members children, so think toys, puzzles and games, those departments and stores ofer the best opportunities as well as being helpful to separate the single women from the others.

After you’ve been helped by her ask her if you can by her a coffee, now or later. And get her phone number or email address so you can set something up for another time.

If you do successfully get a date be sure to buy the gift, even if your recipient is imaginary and give the toy to a local children’s Christmas toy drive in your community. Create for yourself some good karma. This way you can reveal the lie to her, if it ever comes up, that you did indeed use a pick-up line on her and at the very least one child this Christmas will open a gift that you are both responsible for, sweet isn’t it?

I’ve done my part, now it’s all up to you brother.
Good luck,
Robert

Finding Something to Talk About

Do you remember the last time you were a part of a conversation, the other talkers looked your way and all they received from you was an uncomfortable moment of silence (the dreaded “pregnant pause”)?

Life isn’t all sex and french fries.

Many people, men and women, can run out of something to say. And if you’re with someone you like, running out of conversation is on par with over-drinking and becoming an obnoxious giant-mouthed bigot.

Yup, it’s that bad.

The pregnant pause never has to happen if you do one of two things:
1) read regularly, and/or
2) be an active member of real-world social clubs.

It’s important to note that people that do not run out of conversation topics are also people that frequently participate in conversations.

If you’re “too shy” to talk with people then that is something you need to work on. You can join a social club (Toastmasters has chapters in many towns and cities), read and stay on top of the daily news and current events.

You have to expand your horizons if you want to be able to be heard and have people that want to hear you.

Or you’ll become old, alone and stupidly opinionated, not knowing much about the world around you other than your own miserable experiences.

Dating Profile Headline of the Day: An Exciting Date

CafePress: The Number One Website Mall For Unique Presents and Gifts

I’m in a great mood!
My favourite team, the BC Lions, won the Grey Cup (the Canadian version of the NFL’s Superbowl, BC Lions won 34-23 over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers) and there’s no stopping me now! (Health issues aside. Yup, still healing from an emergency appendix surgery but I’m feeling the positive energy, people!)

Great moods are 90% based on your outlook on life and 10% based on the luck of what happens in your life outside of your control and how you deal with your own current events versus the world.

You can win!

I firmly believe that we are all WINNERS,
we just haven’t found the right game rules to play yet, and maybe for right now it’s not dating.

Unless you have confidence in the things you love to do the most, how in hell should you be expected to have confidence when you’re putting yourself “out there”, emotionally and physically, on the dating line in the department of romance?

Consider that if things haven’t been going so well for you maybe it’s time to read some articles about dating and relationships, maybe also an ebook or two to download and read in privacy and take what you’re learning to pump up your dating game.

For today I hope that you’ll start stepping up your dating game right now with this headline for your online personal ad:
“You could be the reason why I stop online dating… You can be The One!”

Have a great day!
