Dating in the News
Here’s another batch of dating related stories you need to read.
It give you something to think about while you try to figure out why you’re still single, at the very least.
The Mommy Penalty
This is a bias of single men against dating single mothers. Yes, having children in relationship is hard and as a good thing mom’s shouldn’t introduce their new boyfriend for at least a few months until the relationship has legs and is going somewhere long term. Kids shouldn’t see a revolving door of men. At the same time there isn’t the same bias against single dad’s. I know from personal experience it’s one of the hardest relationship types to be in. You’re the man but not the husband or father. You have a good idea of how your kids would behave but need to keep quiet about how her kids behave. It’s a tough balancing act and love often in’t enough. Single mothers can improve their chances by understanding a few rules about finding a good man and still being the mom they want to be. Men could use a relationship primer too.
How Geeks Find Love
While there’s no real shortcut to finding a partner that will make you happy, understanding yourself better is a great way to start. There’s an inherent investment in yourself that you need to make so that you truly shine when someone comes close enough for you to consider them a romantic option in your life. The article lists a few points that I’ve oft repeated over the years and it’s worthwhile to refresh, or learn, them now.

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.)

Fantasy Love: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
In a general sort of way we all like to be scared, to find that adrenaline rush and inner strength rush awake inside us.
That’s why horror movies are so popular, feeling fear and ultimately coming out a hero, saving the damsel, the town, the children.
There is also the “romantic love” drama movies that awaken inside up the compassion and heartfelt love we seek in the real world.
I know you know what I’m talking about.
It is this need for stimulation that keeps us scaring ourselves and searching out love, whether real or entertainment.
Know that you can recognize these differing experiences you can work on the ones that you prefer, like real-world love.
For your dating profile headline try this one today:
“Let’s step out of fantasy and meet in the real world soon!”
Have a great day!
Romance: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Our romantic evening.
Does your version of romance match the person you’re dating?
(Take our ‘How romantic are you?’ quiz.)
I know from personal experience that I’m often in left field when romance strikes.
Being romantic should never be forced, it should be as natural a situation as that first kiss and if you can hold onto that moment, you’ll always be “romance ready“.
Romance brings people together and the lack of romance drives them apart. More than financial stress or other events that occupy your mind at all hours, romance will reduce the stress you feel and make other pressures take a step back from your daily struggles.
For your headline today I’d like you to imagine a romantic moment and use the first 7 words as your headline and continued at the top of your profile in the “About me” section, like this:
“I will start by lighting candles and…” (now on your profile page) “… have prepared a bottle of wine and some chocolate truffles to start a wonderful evening.”
Have a great day!

Anywhere and anything...
If you could suspend reality and have anything happen, anything at all, what would you become?
- The world’s biggest billionaire?
- The world’s sexiest person?
- The world’s biggest music artist?
- The best known actor?
The choices really are limitless but there can be only one choice? (No, you can’t choose to have extra choices!)
I know I’d choose to be the best romantic. Why? Because if you have romance in your life you will get everything else you need and you don’t even have to be deceptive about wanting those other things either.
I hope that the answer satisfies you and gives you pause for any other answer. Life is full of surprises, eh?
I’m surprised too…
Surprises aren’t always the best thing to do when you’re meeting people but at the same time a little bit of difference, of challenge, keeps the events in your life fresh.
No one likes a stale life, right?
Let’s work on adding some romance, and a bit of a surprise, into your life and the next great person you meet, their life, too.
Start with a great headline that will get their attention and start them on the road to attraction for you. Post this for your online dating headline today:
“Great looks and personality too!”
Have a great day!
