First Date Safety: Finally Made it Past Their Inbox? The Top Ten Rules to Plan The First Date SAFELY & Possible Scenarios…
Opening Lines: How To Charm Your Way Into Their Dating Site Inbox Once You Found Someone You Really Like…
When it’s finally time to go ahead and contact someone for the first time, what is the best approach? Consider the following guidelines while still adding your personal style.
Not too long. Not too short.
Some people opt for a simple ‘Hello, how are you?’ and leave it at that, whilst others choose to narrate their whole life story with a full medical history, which is probably not a good idea!
Our advice is to strike a happy medium. If you’re hoping for a reply, and that’s what it’s all about, we suggest at least 3 or 4 meaningful sentences, with a question or two to show interest.
Make it personal
People want to feel special – that you absolutely had to write to them because of their compelling profile. Include something that shows you’ve read their profile – for example:
- What do you like about their profile?
- Why do you think you’ll be a good match? (Our system shows what you have in common and shows

How To Send Out The Right Signals With Online Dating Sites To Get Noticed By The People You Like!
Sending Out The Right Signals? So you’ve seen someone you like – what now? Have they seen you? Today we take a look at sending the right signals tot he right people.
In the real world, the first step in meeting someone would be to catch their eye so that they know you’ve noticed them. In the online dating world, you need to make little advances (or send signals as we like to call it). It’s the virtual equivalent of real life eye contact, smiling, winking and breaking the ice with an introduction.
Five Basics Steps To Make a Good First Impression in Online Dating and Get The Attention You Desire!
How to be more sexy and courageous with women? In a word, confidence…
The first thing you need to understand, is that courage is sexy. So it’s going to take courage to be more confident, and to be confident at anything requires skill, competence.
How do you get competence?
You practice, and how do you practice? You start. How do you start? You have the courage.
So you don’t go out and talk to the hottest chick in the bar. First of all, you’re probably not going to meet her there anyway, you’re probably going to meet her at a coffee shop, so just disregard the bar thing. But start with something that’s manageable, a little bit out of your comfort zone. If you are super shy right now and you have a difficult time making eye contact, then start practicing making eye contact with people in general. Not hot girls, just normal people.
Start by saying hi and smiling. Whatever it is that is a little bit beyond your comfort zone, start there, get really good at it and then move to the next step.

The Top Two Mistakes Most Guys & Girls Make When Trying to Approach & Seduce Good Looking People
The top two things that I’ve seen a lot of guys do. Most guys do this. Most guys make this mistake. The reason why I’m doing this now is because I only realised yesterday it’s actually on a sliding scale of the same emotional polarity, but your’e two different ends of the scale.
And I thought that’s really weird…
I’ve interacted with and it’s come down to actually trying to pull, trying to seduce girls, or whatever does this, and you know, I’m lucky because I’ve been able to see it both sides of the fence. I’ve been the guy who chose. I’ve made these mistakes. I’m about to tell you some stuff and I have made these mistakes believe me, but I’ve also been able to sit on the other side of the fence. I’m lucky enough to have a lot of female friends. Some of them are very good looking so I have heard the I’ve been lucky enough to be able to sit with them and watch guys try and approach them and see what guys do.
Mistake number one is putting them on a pedestal.

Rejection Sucks – Tips for What to Do When You Get Rejected
So, you finally gathered up your courage, and… got rejected? Right, first thing you need to do is refocus your thinking. You want to retrain your brain.
When I used to sell real estate, I would make a hundred calls a day, most of those were no’s… it was a numbers game.
So I’d either call a hundred, or till I got to a yes. So there was a lot of rejection and I used to think, okay, every no was closer to yes. You got to really think that way too about rejection, I mean you’re not looking forward to it but if you get rejected really early on, especially early on, you want to thank that person for only wasting this little of my time so that I can move on to really finding my right partner.
The other thing too is that as you’re dating, or getting rejected, you’ll be finding out things that you like and don’t like about people, and perhaps if some of these people are honest with you about why they were not interested, if it’s
something that is changeable, you have the

Setting Yourself up for Success
