First of all I consider myself to be a nerd, I read science fiction and fantasy, I played World of Warcraft for a while, I even have watched and liked Dr Who. (I like it, but consider it to be the pinnacle of Nerdom). Now I would never mention any of these topics to a girl I was trying to pickup. (Consider that lesson a bonus) Over the past few years, since I have learned some tricks and skills I do very well with women. I did it by working hard to shore up my weaknesses and enhancing my strengths. If you read on I will give you two of the major key-points that will help you in achieving success with women...

It was difficult to prove until just recently. But has fixed that. is an online dating site with a difference.

The interesting part is the blog where they publish statistical analysis of how men and women interact with each...

Did you ever see a man in the grocery line who you wanted to talk to? Maybe he was in the line at the bank or even at a friend's party. You struggle to come up with something to say. It feels like you can hear the clock ticking while you pray that your brain will finally kick in and come up with a clever question. Well, one thing I can tell you is that it doesn't have to be hard at all. In fact it can be amazingly simple and easy. Here's what happened to me this week. I was at the gas station standing by the pump waiting for it to register so I could fill my tank. On the other side of the pump was a man in his 40's, who poked his head between the pumps from the other side, smiled and brightly said...

The Situation Paul and I went to Home Depot Sunday to pick up a number of items. The biggest one on the list was the filter for our under-the-sink water filtration system. We walk in, I see a couple of employees and I ask where the water filter replacement parts are. The guy walks us over to where they are displayed. The Fax Paux Had I been using my feminine brain instead of my masculine chick-in-charge brain, I would have realized the best course of action was to step back and let my husband take over. No such luck - I forged ahead discussing options with the guy. My husband started fuming - it took me while to catch on. Oh oh. Emasculation is Not Pretty Since the Home Depot guy was interacting...

There are many ways to tell if a date is going well, although none of them are infallible. Maybe you just have a really, really polite date. But still, there are some ways of telling. Does your date look right at you when you talk? Do they look you in the eye and not down at their food or past your face all the time? You don't want somebody staring at you but if your date looks at you while you speak it's a good sign. It means that he's interested. Does your date occasionally touch your hand or arm? This, too, means that your date is interested. And you can try it yourself if you're interested in your date as well. Does your date make an effort to learn more about you? Does he ask you questions and...

My dating coach client Ellie met Mark, a really great, attractive guy (via Match) and had a wonderful dinner date. In fact, she never met a guy like this. Usually there isn't much spark, but she does give many guys the three date try as I often suggest. But this date was really special for Ellie including sparks, laughter, and smart conversation. Mark emailed to say that it was one of the best 1st dates he'd ever had. He asked Ellie to go out again next weekend, so things were looking good. But still, she just worried that her enthusiasm could appear as desperation and she didn't want to scare him off. Ellie said, "I'm not desperate, just excited to meet someone like him." First I congratulated...

Think about dating as a sport, an opportunity to have fun and get to know different people. While you may have an "end goal" in mind, to find someone special with whom to develop an intimate, loving and eventually permanent relationship, think of this is an opportunity to meet different people and have different experiences. In dating, some people think that they need to do a "sales job" to convince the other person that they are interesting, attractive and a good catch. In reality, dating should not about finding someone who likes you nearly as much as it should be about finding someone who is a good fit for YOU. This involves sharing about yourself but it also means finding out about the other...

Did you ever date a guy who you had a great time with and saw weekly, but for some reason, never on the weekends? What's up with that? I met this guy at a singles dance. Very attractive, kind of macho even. Sort of a bad boy still at 40. You know the kind of guy. We caught each other's eyes as I walked to the ladies room. On the way out, he struck up a conversation. Hmmm. Very interesting as I remember. He asked me to dance. Great dancer. Wow a man who seems sure of himself. We danced a few times. Walked over to s table and talked a while. He asked for my number, then leaned down to give me a kiss on the cheek. Who is this guy? Yeah, he called in a couple of days and asked me out to dinner. Friday...

It's no surprise that many women are drawn to men born under this particular sign. These men tend to be very romantic, loyal and make wonderful, caring fathers.

I think that it's pretty safe to say that women playing hard to get is not exactly a secret for most men. We all know that women are prone to playing hard to get and for some men, this is enough to drive them bonkers. Don't let that happen to you. It's really not that big of a deal when she does play hard to get and in most instances, then it is actually a good sign that she is doing this. Women play hard to get for a couple of reasons. One reason is that it makes things more exciting. And you really cannot deny that it does not put you on edge and get your heart racing a little when a woman decides to play hard to get.

How Independent Women Can Balance their Energy for More Appetizing Results on a Dinner Date This may seem surprising to some of you, but as a strong, independent woman, you have likely adopted a lot of dominant masculine traits unknowingly. I encounter this all the time as a Dating Coach and have found these behaviors can create an unnecessary stumbling block. One way this shows up for me personally, is the seat I choose when my husband and I go out for dinner. Last weekend we were meeting another couple for dinner and were brought to our table to wait for them. The table was next to a wall and surrounded by other tables on the remaining three sides. From a Feng Shui perspective, the command seat at...

It is nice when a woman shows interest in you. Especially one you are attracted to. Consider this hypothetical situation. Say she says to your co-worker that she thinks you are cute. Great. Later she offers you some kittens. Awesome. She is going on vacation soon to a remote country location and wants you to come with her. Whoa, you have not even been out with her. The topper? She emails you and says that you are her dream guy and wants to settle down with a man like you. Double whoa. You have not even been out with her. Does that scenario sound familiar? It might not have played out exactly like that with you, but I bet you have experienced something similar. There is a balancing act we always talk...

It seem like with the advent of online dating services and social networks that dating has entered an entirely different stratosphere. To a certain degree it has.

The question of what to say when he finally calls isn't a new one. Most women have wondered about this. The scenario is typically the same and it's always as frustrating.

Dating can be fun and challenging at the same time for any age. When you're younger and dating, anything goes: dinner, movie, mini-golf, concert, basketball game.

I. Encourage Growth and Don't Be Needy or Jealous Here's where literally ALL Long Distance Relationships fail. When the premise of it is "keeping things the SAME between us" then it's pretty much guaranteed things won't last. Remember that once you separate into two different worlds, just like any human being, there will be a desire to meet more people, try out new things, and just basically settle in to this new place. So, that's exactly what you want to encourage, and not the opposite. If you can show your partner that you actually want them to grow as a person wherever they're at, it's a true show of love and care and crushes all neediness. Now take not that you have to do this too. You don't...

Retiring to bed alone at night can seem strange to certain women. This is in the case of women who have been married for years and have had children with a man.

It can be the case that these women find themselves feeling as though they are feeling pressure to start dating and they are not yet ready for this. If they still have...

It's a classic thing that usually happens when a guy likes a girl. He starts to try and run into her whenever he can, tries to get her to hang out with him as much as possible and basically, ends up chasing her around. All this is done with the hopes that she will somehow be overcome with attraction and end up in his arms. However, as most guys will know, this hardly ever winds up being how the story ends.

I hope that you already know that looking like you are desperate to a woman is not at all going to make you attractive to her. Though you might really feel that way, you are going to have to do your best to hide it and not let it show. When a woman sees that a man seems to be desperate for her attention and her approval, it's like an automatic signal that tells her to stay AWAY from that guy. You want to come off like you really do not need her attention. This makes you seem much more like a secure and confident kind of guy, the kind of man that women are naturally drawn to. Unless you want to get rejected over and over again by women, then you need to keep that feeling of desperation at a minimum...

Most men are taught to have an over romanticized view on dating and women. They are taught to think of women as being delicate flowers that you should place high on a pedestal. They are taught to do things like buy her flowers and chocolates and jewelry, and that these things will make them appear to be the classic Prince Charming that all women have been waiting for. Well, to put it mildly, that is a load of bunk! While I don't think that men should become the kind of jerk that treats women like dirt, I also don't think that most men need to continue to believe in these "fairy tales" of dating and romance. Anyone that has any dating experience knows that the nice guys that do all of the "right...

In order to make a woman fall in love with you, is important that you understand that there is no way that you can do this by trying to control her.

I remember when I was a teen. To get a young lady's attention, I made sure "the check list" was met. "Do I look nice enough? What will I say to her? How should I act?" I spent so much time trying to make a good first impression that I didn't end up enjoying myself. In that case, what's the point of going out with someone if you're not going to enjoy yourself? Why the pressure? Those teen days are over for me but I still find it fit for me to give the present teens advice that I wish I received. Many people don't realize that you'll never impress someone by being someone you're not, but instead, only by being yourself. I remember thinking about what I was going to say before calling a young lady. I...

Every girl has that feeling of butterflies in her tummy when she thinks about her first date. Especially if it's with a guy you really fancy. There are a million and one questions that will run through your mind before the D-day. Will he ask me out on a second date? Will he arrive on time or even show up at all?

So you see a hot woman at the bar and you want to approach her and get her attracted to you so she will give you her number and go on a date with you. Here's how to do it... Firstly, realize that beautiful women are hit on dozens of times in an evening, so trying to seduce her right off the bat will nearly always fail.

Many of my clients come to their coaching session, uttering this statement about a recent dating disappointment: "But we had such a great connection! why didn't things work out?" Yup, you know what that's like - when you feel like you both really seem to "GET" each other. You have a lot of eye contact and talk like you've known each other forever.

First of all, most women immediately assume they did something wrong. I'm happy to report that usually, that's totally not true. Often the dropped ball and lack of call have little, if...

It is understandable that dating can be a very nerve-racking experience for both yourself and your partner. The reason for this is because each of you are desperately trying to please the other, while at the same time hoping not to make any silly mistakes that could give the wrong impression.

One way to avoid this from happening is by following this important rule; never take yourself too seriously on the date. Keep in mind that you are not the only person that will be nervous or that is looking to show the best of yourself. As nervous as you are, you will find that your partner will be feeling the same. It does not...

I consider myself sort of an expert on blind dates. Over the years, and since I was old enough to date, caring friends and concerned family members have been trying to convince me that they had found "the perfect match for me"… Unfortunately that has not turned out to be true – yet! But keep hoping and stay sharp, because blind dates CAN work! When a blind date has been arranged, the question is: how do you prepare yourself, mentally and physically, for such an event? To start, make sure – and repeat this to yourself a couple of times – do not set your standards either too high, or too low. If at all possible, try coming to the date without any preconceived notions about the other person. It...

If you've ever been set up by friends, you know what it's like to be set up be an amateur matchmaker. It's fair to say your friends know the type of person you want to date.
