Is Silence Rejection With Online Dating?

Posted by:

Is silence a form of rejection with dating online? If you email a woman and she doesn’t respond, is she not interested? Sadly, yes, silence is rejection when you are dating online. Actually, silence is a pretty bad sign regardless of whether you’re using an online dating site or a more traditional method.

The standard dilemma with online dating is the question: is it better to email someone back and reject them forcefully or just remain silent and allow them ...

The Best Online Dating Service

Posted by:

What is the best dating service on the internet? This is a popular question and that makes sense since none of us want to waste our time or money with a bad dating service. The answer to this question, though, isn’t a simple one.

It’s All About Your Situation

My thought on this is that there is no universally “best” dating service. Each individual’s situation will determine what is best for them. For example, when I started dating online, the “best” dating ...

A Pattern for More Successful Online Dating

Posted by:

For most of us, when we start dating online there is some level of disappointment within the first few weeks of signing up for a dating service. From the outside looking in, dating services appear full of single people looking to date. While that’s true, what most of us get wrong (including myself, initially) is the idea that this fact alone will be enough to make dating online easy. As I discuss in my guide and ...

Installing Disqus on WordPress Is Amazingly Simple

Posted by:

For a while I’ve been considering installing Disqus as my commenting system on this blog. Even with what I consider to be healthy traffic I get very few comments. I thought perhaps using a system like this might encourage a little more conversation. Then again…I am in the business of providing dating advice and sometimes I wonder if people shy away from being associated with needing such advice.

At any rate, I am simply amazed at how easily the install ...

Online Dating Success Story: Post-Wedding Thoughts

Posted by:

Some years ago a friend of mine had been discussing the idea of loneliness with me and while she didn’t come out and say she was looking to date, I felt the signs were there. I mentioned this blog and then discussed some ideas on why I think she might want to try it.

She did try it and for a time, things didn’t go very well. She met quite a few jerks and sometimes it seemed to me she was ...

Level 80 Paladin LFG (Looking For Girlfriend)

Posted by:

I found this image and thought it was great. I suppose many readers may not get this…but then again when World of Warcraft has millions of subscribers I guess more than a few will get it. This one may ring a little too true for some of us! Having an MMO background (played Everquest for years starting at its launch and it still has a warm place in my heart), I can totally understand this. Some of these games are ...

Men Get Stupid When Talking To Beautiful Women

Posted by:

If you’re a man and you’ve ever been frustrated by the fact that you fall apart socially around beautiful women, it’s not just you. According to a study discussed in the Telegraph, studies have shown that men actually do lose much of their ability to think and reason when around pretty women:

The research shows men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain function than ...

Women Giving Bad Advice About Men

Posted by:

Over at SingleCityGuy.com, there’s a discussion of how women give their female friends awful advice regarding men. I’m not sure that this is a universal problem but I have seen exactly what he’s talking about. I’ve been absolutely flabbergasted by some suggestions women have made when debating dating situations regarding men. The problem, as the article points out, is that women are over-thinking how much thought we’re putting into our decisions.

First Date Fashion Assistance

Posted by:

In a recent article, I discussed how to dress for a first date. However, even when you know what to wear in general, there are times where it’s not clear if a particular outfit is worth wearing. We often second guess our opinion on the outfit and either decided not to wear or we wear it but worry all night long. In both cases, we can end up regretting our decision.

I’ve seen it recommended to upload a photo of yourself ...

eHarmony Is Giving Me No Matches

Posted by:

eHarmony is very committed to their matching system. The site takes the approach that it would be better to give its members no matches than to give them bad matches. eHarmony will even reject applicants that they feel they can’t provide adequate matches to. In some ways, it’s good to see eHarmony being so honest but it does cause problems. If you’re not getting any matches, a number of things could be happening.
