Are Group Events The Next Logical Step To Online Dating?
Match.com has made a lot of news with their recent foray into board game nights and other events that brings members together.
But is this a good idea?
Online dating is for bring people together to find love.
Face-to-face events are for bringing people together to share a common interest that may not quite include looking for more than a possible game partner.
And if you meet someone on a dating service and go to meet them for the requisite coffee date you can always bow out early with some excuse or other.
But on a game night set up by your dating service, meeting with someone you first met online with the same intention of finding love, can your common game interest make up for any dating choice date you may have made of just meeting to play a game?
How do you walk out on a game without ruining your other chances with possible matches?
My suggestion here is to not search out your potential game play partners before you show up for game night.
Some times too much information can be a bad thing.

You Made It! Dating Profile Headline of the Day
When you're ready toot your own horn!
Today, December 1st, marks the last few steps to the beginning of the “silly spending season” and beyond to 2012. I am pretty pleased to have made it this far with only losing 2 body parts (long story) and gaining a 2011 Red Dodge Challenger. No matter how tough a day is when I am sitting behind that steering wheel and punching that engine button, hearing those horses roar to life, it gives me satisfaction that I don’t get every day without it.
My writing career has stalled but my latest article (All I Want for Christmas is a New Girlfriend) has given me new life in my capabilities. I don’t generally go with the “New Year’s Resolution” gimmick. I believe that the force of change is within each of us and waiting for a specific time of year to start what should be a positive change in our lives is just silly. You know you should do it, so do it! By the end of the month you can then say “I made it!”
The biggest positive chnage you can make with your life is to share it with someone special. Make no doubt about it, without the love and support of someone special your life will never have the full meaning your life should have (past, future and present clergy excepted).
Wear that power tie, put on those sexy panties, slip into those plaid socks, you’re going to have a great day today and a tremendous life - just come back to read this blog daily for everything you need to know.
For your first headstart rewrite your headline into a power headline that will attract the type of person you want - no need - to have in your life:
“I do not back down from pressure but I will be the person that wants to be right for you!”
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
First One Down: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Match.com
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!

Online Dating Starter Kit: Match.com March Marathon
Match.com wants you to succeed in your dating adventure because when you’re happily dating the people you meet at Match.com, you become a believer in what online dating accomplishes for single people like you and at Match.com in particular.
Match.com has the technology and the experience (online since 1994) to make online dating work. But every “joiner” does not arrive at match.com with the same expectations. After all, we are all unique.
Online Dating Starter Kit
To help you get started with finding success with online dating (if you’re a first-timer or not having much success so far) there is an online presentation called “Online Dating Starter Kit” that is an online presentation and or as a downloadable pdf (from this link as well as on the match.com website) that takes you step-by-step through the online dating processes that will help you to create headlines and profile tips that will attract the type of person you seek.
You’ll need to sign in to this part of the Match.com website (maybe for the second time) but you can use your existing email and password, you don’t need to create a new account.
To find the FAQ and “Online Dating Starter Kit” you’ll need to head over to the “Help” section and search for “Online Dating Starter Kit”, then click on the answer link “What is the starter kit?”. I don’t know why such a goldmine of information is tucked away and hard to find, but there it is, now laid at your feet.
Remember, Match.com is the software, and no matter what, you are the result. You need to do your best to become an online dating success story and Match.com provides more opportunities than any other dating service to make that success happen, in my opinion.
ProfilePro: Match.com March Marathon
If you think of yourself as “less-than-perfect”, how well do you think you’d be able to write about yourself in a positive light?
Besides public speaking, one of the categories that is hardest to be talkative in is when you have to talk about yourself, share intimately your positives and minimalize your negatives and still come across as a nice, caring and loving person that someone else would want to meet.
Yes, describing yourself out loud is a very hard task for many people. Describing yourself to an anonymous and judgemental audiance can be “deer in the headlights” frightening.
This is where Match.com has you covered, they offer a professional writers service that can fine tune and offer some critical elements to your profile that will help others (people that have not yet met you) find a level of attraction in you by emphasizing your good qualities without being egotistic or self-involved beyond redemption and show you off in the best possible light. This is a great feature/service!
Match.com ProfilePro Feature
You do have to pay for this service and you’ll have an expert profile writer to review your existing profile, ask you some questions (if needed) and make the most of what you’ve told about yourself into a profile that becomes an interesting mini-bio about yourself that you would have written if only you knew how.
You don’t have to use the profile that is written for you but there isn’t a refund of the service cost if you decide not to. As well, you may be asked to have a better main profile picture of you made available for your updated profile and that could include Match.com suggesting professional photographer services to you, again at an additional fee.
Most people are anxious when they have to talk about themselves about their deepest desires and personality traits. It’s good to know that there is a professional waiting in the wings if you need help.
You don’t need to be a premium member (subscriber) to use this service, obviously you’ll receive the most attention and be able to communicate more with other members if you are a subscribing member of Match.com.
You can join here and receive a 7 day free trial premium membership today.
Who Has Seen You?: Match.com March Marathon

Now, this feature is sometimes offered free at online dating services but you do need to be a subscriber here. One way or another notifications that tell you who has visited your profile page is used as an incventive foir you to pay a membership fee, so Match.com isn’t out in left field asking you to pay for this priviledge and, of course, you receive all of the other premium member benefits too.
So if your curiosity is about to kill the cat, pay the fee and see who’s behind door number 1, 2 and maybe even 3.

What this feature is, in a nutshell, is anonymous phone calling. Your number and any other caller ID information is not passed along when you make a call to another member. You are given a special number to dial into using your regular (land-line or cell) phone from which you call the other member in your matchTalk phonebook.
Your private information is hidden by the system and it’s easy to stop someone from contacting you, all you have to do is remove their details from your matchTalk phonebook.
Anonymous phone calling services have been around for years and now come in a variety of formats and feature-sets. matchTalk used to be a fee-based service but now it’s available for free as an added feature to the premium subscriber membership.
Join now and receive a 7 day free trial membership because this feature is only for premium (subscribed) members.
