Heard the one about my disastrous first date? Herald.ie
A long, long time ago in a school far away, I fancied the socks off a girl and finally managed to get a ‘first date’, which was in a seaside shelter on our lunch break. I, too, believed that being funny was the way to impress the opposite sex and told …

No need for medical history on first date. Winnipeg Free Press
Certainly not on the first date. You needn’t lay out a list of aches and pains and health conditions over first coffee. (Though this works well if you’re trying to scare the person away). The right time to disclose medical conditions is when you’re …

I find it funny the things some people will do on the job, attempting to get away with their disturbed sense of humor through anonymity but getting caught anyways. Suckers!

TSA Will Reportedly Fire Agent Who Wrote ‘Get Your Freak On’ After Finding Sex Toy. If the traveler wants to get her freak on don’t leave messages in her luggage cheering her on. And when you work for the TSA you will get caught and you will be fired for bringing to notice a passenger’s personal sex toy. Better hope the Chinese cookie factory is hiring fortune cookie writers, numbnuts.

FX picks up Charlie Sheen sitcom. Yes, he’s coming back!!! Sheen and his production team announced that they were working on the pilot this summer, but FX has just revealed that they’ve picked the show up and ordered 10 episodes. Sheen has “come up with a wonderful, hilarious vehicle for Charlie’s acting talents—and a character we are very much looking forward to seeing him play,” FX Networks president and general manager John Landgraf says in a statement. “Two and a Half Men has been an outstanding component of FX’s schedule for the past 14 months, and we have every confidence that Anger Management will soon be as well.”

Sometimes you don’t stop all of the ‘bargain shoppers’ but eventually they get busted. Property crime detectives said the suspect knew about weaknesses and soft spots in Target’s security operation and used the knowledge to his advantage. The theft suspect would just load the items into a shopping cart and walk out, police said. Detectives had a trailer full of stolen evidence from the man’s residence. They seized movies, video games, clothing, electronics, and even crayons, to name a few things.

Sexy, funny costumes make Halloween good time for romance: survey.

Personal Ad Headline of the Day: The Best Time of Your Life

Africa Beauties

When was your “Best Time of your Life”?

The moment that if you could stay there forever you would?

We all have had such moments in our lives but they may be so far back in time or unrecognized for what the moment really was until you think back into your past and it the moment for what it truly was.

Hindsight is 20/20 as the saying goes.

And history does repeat itself even if you do forget. You’re just as likely to have a second “Best Time of Your Life” that is very similar to your first whether you remember it beforehand or after the second.

Life is a circle, my friend.

For your dating profile headline today try this:
“If we don’t meet now we’ll meet again later!”

Have a great day!

Courtship Connection: If at First You Don’t Succeed, Try to Get Her Wasted. Above the Law
This is the kind of first date story that Wannabe Lara Logan will be able to milk for years… Wannabe journo said she’d be carrying a yellow umbrella. Our womanizer said he would be in jeans and a button-down with “Screech-esque, dark, curly hair.” Nice move, womanizer. Compare thyself with a decidedly unattractive character to set expectations low and display your humility. Bravo. Though, if you actually look like Dustin Diamond, I would advise against this tactic. …

Life is so much easier without a cold.

Yes, I have fallen to the latest cold virus sweeping my workplace.

Having a “bad physical event”, such as a cold, when you’re having an online dating adventure really does take you out of rotation for a few days.

The obvious move would be to suspend or place on hold your online dating membership account and profile, so no one sees it and you don’t have to worry about putting a possible first date or meeting on hold.

But don’t do that. You do want to stay available, just add a short note saying you’ve got a cold and meetings will take place once you’re on your feet again, or something to that effect.

Coincidence being what it is, you’re likely to have more interest when you’re not feeling well but you want to keep at it and not lose out on a possible life-changing message coming your way from another member.

For your dating profile headline you might even want to post this:
“I have a cold but there’s still a warm place in my heart for you!”

Have a great day!

Cheaters Never Prosper: Personals Ad Headline of the Day

Free Honeymoon on AsianBeauties!

Free Honeymoon on AsianBeauties!

Writing a catchy headline for your online personal ad or profile is key to getting responses and replies to everything you do on your chosen dating service.

If there are forums and chat rooms you can be certain that people are checking out your profile too and if they aren’t impressed by your headline then you might have just ended any type of relationship before it started.

Think humor, comedy and thoughtful terms to use. Generally your dating service allows for about 60 to 80 characters for your headline so you’ve got to maximize the potential of your words to generate initial attraction and attention.

“If the door is scary (or boring) no one is going to click-through to the fun inside.”

My suggestion for your headline today is:
“Cheaters never prosper, that’s why I’m doing so well.”

Have a great day!

First One Down: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Match.com- Canada

Match.com

Do you remember when the first of your friends got married?

On that day you lost a friend and you gained a “married couple”. Or so we were told.

I remember losing a friend and getting in return a two-headed monster and one that wouldn’t come out to play to boot.

Then more friends got married, others “played house” and were also otherwise occupied when poker night came around.

You start with single being fun and after a while it becomes a disease.

Life offers you many turns over time. Keep that in mind as you continue on your path.

For your dating ad try this headline today:
“Do you agree that we cannot go on like this?”

Have a great day!
