David Butler asked:
Dating a friend or just thinking about it? Many wonder if it’s a good idea if best friends date one another. So what do you think? I know the cynical among us may agree with that line from When Harry Met Sally, “that a man and a woman can’t really be just friends.” But that’s the topic of another article. Let’s get back to the issue of whether or not friends should date.
One of the driving forces behind friendship dating is the saying that “the best of friends make the best of lovers.” Yes, there are no easy answers here. But if you are planning to take the plunge and date a friend, you should at least be cognizant of the following:
* Dating a friend changes the complexion of that friendship forever. If it doesn’t work out, there will be awkwardness even if you attempt to remain friends. If things do work out, your platonic friendship (which does have unique benefits) has moved to a different level. Sooo… you need to contemplate whether you’re willing to risk that great present friendship for uncharted waters that may lead to disaster.
* Remember, while you may actually love that girl or guy, there is always the possibility of unrequited love.
When your friend has different expectations than you do, dating that friend is probably a bad idea from the get go.
Overall, please don’t get the idea that we are dissing dating a friend. We are not. Dating a friend, if things go well, can be one of the most exciting and thrilling things happen in a relationship. While some friends who date are ideal soul mates for each other, most of these relationships do not last. Just be willing to count the cost.

Tomas Labas asked:
Dating can be quite a lot of entertainment, but it can also be quite stressful too. Although some persons prefer to have their relationships become serious after only a few of dates, dating is ideally more of a gradual procedure of getting to know each other. Thus, it is important to practice some dating conversation tips during those first several important dates.
Use Humor
No matter how serious a person is, chances are that person still likes to giggle at something. Humor is needful in any dating scenario, because not only does it lighten what might be a stressful position, but it also creates the occasion for the couple to create private jokes between each other, which is a fun way of solidifying a relationship.
Learn from each ones differences
Although it is notable for a couple to share similar interests in some things, it would be monotonous for a couple to like all of the same things. Thus, during a dialogue it is important to mention hobbies that the other person might not enjoy but be curious about, and this could be the basis for a futurity date.
During these initial conversations, it is egregious for the couple to keep the conversations light, and not too substantive. More personal conversations should be reserved for if and when the couple decides to have a serious relation. Above, all, it is important for the couple to relax and be themselves, because dating is, after all, supposed to be a fun impression!
Finding Common Ground
Whether the couple met via friends, a dating online service, or some other method, there must have been a ground why the couple has chosen to go out on a date in the first place. Yes, physical attractiveness is important, but beyond that, it is necessary that the couple find similar interests.
Thus, as a dating conversation tips, when it comes to similar interests, the easiest way for someone to start a dialogue is by asking the simple question, “What do you like to do in your free time?” Most likely, the other person will list off a variety of different things. If one, or even several of those things are also liked by that other person, that person should immediately express that.
Those first few conversations might still be a bit tense, with each person not knowing what interesting thing to say to the other person. However, once someone has used the dating conversation tips about asking what the other person likes to do, and found common interests, that can be used as the basis for a variety of humorous anecdotes about those interests.

Pauline Go asked:
In today’s world dating is a common word among people who love to post their profile and upload their photographs on social networking sites, friendship sites and/or dating sites. But even before the evolution of the Internet, people were familiar with dating in a more traditional way. Dating has evolved from supervised dating to one night stands. A brief history on dating in America will help us to know more about the differences of dating between past and the present times.
Until the early 1800s, marriages were considered more seriously than dating; marriages were based on social standings and not based on couple’s attraction or “love at first sight”. The late 1800s saw a transition in dating as it became more formal. Approval from parents was needed. At this time dating was synonymous with romantic relationship or courtship.
In the early 1900s dating between couples were supervised by their parents. Guardians observed the interaction and discussion between couples. The girl’s mother invited the boy to her house and chaperoned the meeting. This period witnessed a trend in public dating.
The mid 1900s saw a great change in the style and values of dating, People came to know about each other through dating and were more influenced by their peers and they determined the rules of dating. People were more influenced by movies and advertisements. There was no “supervision” and interactions between couples were without any commitment. Dating became synonymous with dancing as dancing on the first date was considered for a more serious relationship.
Dating became common among high school students during the 50s and the 60s as there were more weekly dating, exchange of phone calls and physical intimacy which led to early marriages among couples. Prior importance was given to love and this was considered as a main reason for a happier marriages.
Presently dating has become more synonymous with infidelity as married couples are having affairs with either their colleagues or “old school friends”. Thanks to the online revolution and transition in thinking!

Rhonda Ray asked:
Dating through the internet has never been this easier since more and more people are now connected online than ever before. There is a dating website available for everyone and anyone who feels that they need them. If you are new to dating online, there are just a few things that you need to know so that your dating experience would be fun and worry free.
When you register to these website that offer dating services, be sure that you read everything carefully and what kind of website you are joining. You do not want to join in something that you are totally against of something that you have totally no interest in as it can provides you with a lot of headaches and you would have just wasted your time registering something that you will not be using. When you are filling out the registration form, take note of the information you are providing. You do not want to be providing unnecessary information or information about you that can cause trouble. Remember the information you provide in these sites are often available for other members to see unless otherwise stated by the registration form as confidential.
Once you’re done with the registration and start checking out other people’s profile, you will see that others will be looking at yours as well and others would send a message of introduction if they are interested. Don’t make the mistake of meeting up right away with these people and use some common sense and get to know them. You do not want to fall victim to people who use these sites for unscrupulous things. Dating in the internet is very similar to dating in the real world.
