First Date Jitters: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

We all have them, unless you’re so confident in yourself that it’s a complete turn-off.

So how do you handle first date jitters?

On of the worse things you can do is have a “pre-date drink”. Alcohol may relax you but with the added stress of the first date and all the possibilities you may be more nervously making mistakes that wouldn’t otherwise happen.

The real key is to have the date in familiar territory, but not so familiar that you’re likely to run into an ex or some friends that may intrude.

No one wants that to happen and your date may judge you based on your friends and the first date isn’t when that should happen.

So scout around, find a nice place and do your best to enjoy meeting face-to-face with that person that may become someone special.

For your dating profile headline today give this a try:
“I’m very nervous on first dates so can when we meet it’ll be our second, ok?”

Have a great day!

Mystery Date: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Isn’t every first date a mystery date?

You may have chatted with the person online, had a few phone calls, Skype, etc., but until you see them face-to-face anything is still possible.

They could dress weird, they could smell, they could have terrible table manners… anything.

Nervousness of making a great first impression and handling anything that might go wrong has to be a part of your game plan.

Be prepared and have a good time.

For your personal ad headline today give this a try:
“The only mystery is why haven’t we met sooner?”

Have a great day!

Dating Profile of the Day: Moving Forward

Big stone heads get nowhere

How has your dating adventure been going?

We can’t all get a second chance (Obama wins!) to do right, you have to make the first time count, in all things (including politics!).

I’m not just talking about your first impression on a first date but your opportunity to make the date or relationship work.

If you’re not moving forward you’re moving backward, the saying goes. And equally, if not more important, is that you know the difference.

There’s help for that.

For your personal ad headline today give this a try:
“Walk strong, stand tall, meet a wonderful person today!”

Have a great day!

Are You “The Walking Dead” On A Date?

Here’s the scenario:
You met a nice person in an online dating service. They seemed to be almost perfect.
Then the first date happens and all hell breaks loose.
Cheap food, paid using a coupon no less!
Bad conversation and they couldn’t stop checking out all the other people in the place, even flirting with the server while you’re at the table!
So you begin to withdraw.
Small talk turns into pregnant pauses. Interest in the food devolves into merely pushing it around the plate. The look of fear comes into your eyes when dessert, or god forbid, the dreaded after-meal walk is suggested.
You can feel the will to continue living slowly draining out of your body.
You become a walking dead zombie, waiting for the right time to reach across the table and eat your date’s brains, or at least rip their flesh apart so that the fear you feel will also be felt.
The Walking Dead can have their revenge and still survive a first date tragedy.
Next time don’t let it go on so long.
Good luck.
