Tony Ross asked:
Dating confidence for men can be a very tricky issue. Despite what many people would think, there are lots of things that can add pressure for men when it comes to dating. Men are quite often judged by how much money they make, how nice their car is and more. Is he losing his hair, does he own his own home, etc. These pressures can and do build up and can have a strong impact on dating confidence for men. Fortunately, there are things that can be done to help in this area.
The first thing that I recommend is to work on an attitude that can resolve many of these pressures, and boost dating confidence for men. The first is to realize that many of the same sorts of pressures that are applied to men, do in fact apply to women as well. We live in a society where women have equal rights. They have jobs, own homes, own cars, have body image issues just as well as men. Knowing that women can and do have pressures, and quite likely find dating just a nerve wracking as men should help you with your confidence. She is just as likely to be nervous and self conscious as you. Knowing this should help bring with it some relief.
The bottom line here is that women do have pressures themselves around dating. The days of when men were supposed to be the only bread winner, and the pressures that go with that, are mostly gone. Both parties in the dating scene are quite likely facing the same issues, and would probably be sensitive to the others feelings. This knowledge can be used to help boost dating confidence for men.

Manuel Wiggins asked:
Most couples will have some form of dating before they become an official relationship, although in some cultures this is not necessarily true. In its simplest terms dating is an agreement for a couple to meet up and partake in some for of activity, like eating a meal or going to the cinema.
There has been much development of the traditional dating approach. The first development away from a traditional date probably occurred with the start of blind dates. Blind dates do not have a great reputation as they are often perceived as a date where friends have interfered on another person’s life. What normally happens is that people who have never met before go on a date; this could mean that the couple has nothing in common and so could easily turn into an embarrassing experience. That isn’t to say though that this form of dating cannot also be successful.
Another form of dating evolution was the speed dating phenomenon. This proved to be a great way to meet a lot of people in a short amount of time, and it is possible to meet someone whose interests match your own, and arrange a proper date at a later time. Speed dates normal work by one group of people sitting down, say women, and then men come and sit with them, when a bell goes the men move onto the next woman and the women therefore have a different person to talk to.
The advancement of technology had made it possible to get to know people without having to actually meet them. Online dating allows people to search for potential dates based on set criteria like age and interests. This form of dating may allow for compatible people to meet although having the same interests is no guarantee that a relationship can develop. Even online dating has moved on as virtual dating now occurs as well. Virtual dating is all about the creation of avatars to undertake dates in an online environment. There are many complicated settings where a virtual date could take place, and whilst some people would like it to lead to a real date, many others just like to have an internet relationship.
Dating, in what ever form it may come, is a great way to meet new people in the hope of forming a new relationship. For those in a relationship, many couple find a date with their partner is a great way to keep the relationship fresh.

Internet Dating Investigations on the Rise
The rise in online dating worldwide has changed the way men and women meet around the globe. As more and more people become accustomed to doing business on the Internet, so too are more and more people finding romance over the Internet. New match making sites appear in the search results each week, and from the U.S. to China to Argentina, consumers are finding love online. With this new playing field, however, come sizeable risks.
Honest people seeking new relationships aren’t the only ones taking advantage of the new services. Criminals are also finding their way onto the match making websites, including major sites such as Match.com and eHarmony. No matter what a site may claim, no dating website is immune from fraud and scams. In fact, international scam cases have risen along with the rise in dating websites. And with the rise in scams and fraud, the demand for professional background checks has never been greater.
Beware of any individual overseas proclaiming his or her love prematurely. Be skeptical of any sudden emergencies that require financial assistance. If there have been no requests for money, and everything seems to be legit, consider a background check as an insurance policy. Many victims end up losing money and learning the hard way. A background check early along in the relationship can save you time and money, and also prevent you from potential heartache and emotional distress.
Several services are now available that offer international background checks and surveillance. Probably the most respected in the business is Wymoo International, which also runs a separate division for investigations in the Philippines, known as Philippine PI. Whichever firm you decide to use, consider the service an insurance policy, and when it comes to fraud and scams, it’s better to know sooner rather than later. These types of services are usually strictly confidential, so the subject will never know, and you can sleep easy!
Happy hunting,

Derek Collinson asked:
It is estimated that more than 20 million people visit online dating sites every month. So without doubt this virtual means of meeting people and seeking that elusive person (usually referred to as a soul mate) is by far the most popular nowadays.
Some people are successful in their quest to find a soul mate online and others are not.
Fortunately a group of Psychologists from the University of California have discovered the key components in creating an attractive online dating profile – the first and fundamental step in finding a soul mate via online dating.
Here in summary are their findings based on the two key dating profile components, adding a picture and completing free text:
Adding an attractive picture:
In a study of Australian online dating users (Whitty and Carr, 2006) 85% said that they would not contact someone without a picture. It is clear from this that the single most important element of creating an attractive online profile is the addition of an attractive picture.
In addition what represented an attractive picture for both men and women was assessed.
It was found that men’s pictures that were perceived as being genuine, trustworthy, but not warm and kind, were considered to be the most attractive. Women’s pictures that were perceived as more feminine and portrayed higher self esteem, but not self centered, were considered more attractive.
Self description (free text profile component):
The study (Whitty & Carr, 2006) also suggested that men’s open ended free text profiles were considered more attractive when they were perceived as being genuine, trustworthy, but not too warm and kind and overall seemed masculine.
Attractiveness was not associated with the length in words or with the percentage of positive emotion words, negative emotion words or self-references.
However, women’s open ended free text profile components seemed to have little bearing on their perceived attractiveness.
Recommendations:
Both men and women are encouraged to add an attractive picture to their profile.
Women seeking men should add a recent picture as it appeared that men judge women’s attractiveness almost entirely by their pictures.
Men need to present themselves as genuine, trustworthy, and extraverted and additionally to show their feminine side without compromising their masculinity.
Women need to present themselves as feminine and not masculine plus their picture should convey high self esteem without appearing to be self-centered.
Implications For Online Daters:
People who are serious about online dating need to include pictures in their profiles.
Men’s pictures need to convey that they are genuine, trustworthy, and extraverted and show their feminine side without appearing emasculated. One way to do this would be a picture playing with a dog (perhaps a big dog to convey their masculinity).
Women’s pictures need to show their femininity and relatively high self esteem without appearing self centered. Suggestions include wearing a feminine dress or skirt, looking confident and stroking or playing with a dog.
Since men take little or no notice of women’s free text in their profile but are attracted by their pictures, then it would seem sensible to add several attractive pictures to their profiles.
Men need to show their feminine side by opening their hearts and expressing their true feelings in the free text part of their profiles whilst maintaining their overall masculinity by touching on their male interest hobbies such as rugby or football.
Women need to confidently confirm their femininity by opening their hearts and expressing their feelings in the free text part of their profiles without appearing self-centered.
A final word of caution:
No-one should try to convey what they know is not true. Misrepresenting one’s self is bound lead to disappointment for everyone concerned and certainly will not result in finding a soul mate.
Before subscribing to online dating, it is suggested that completing a free personality test such as the Myers – Briggs typology test may be a good place to start. One such free test can be found at www.humanmetrics.com.
The result will then enable online daters to accurately describe their personality profiles. This is a much better way than relying on the opinions of friends who may be inclined to veer away from accuracy and more towards flattery in the name of loyalty.
As always honesty is the best policy!

M. Johnson asked:
Speed dating is a fantastic way to meet people. Just about any major metro area has a speed dating organization. Check in your areas weekly papers. Or search online for websites.
You will have a chance to have little 8 minute dates with up to 25 partners. Talk about a fast way to meet a lot of dating prospects. The typical speed dating event is set up in a lounge or restaurant and lasts a couple of hours. There will be a host to get things started and you will sit down with your date for 5-8 minutes and then move on to the next lady. Very relaxed and stress-free dates.
There is little pressure, as long as you remember this is just fun. Stay calm and relaxed and just go with it. See what happens. Just think about how much you will have to talk about for the next week. It is an adventure and will give you many stories to talk about with people.
You will want to be dressed well and looking your best. Now you are probably wondering what you should talk about. Well it is only 8 minutes so you don’t have to try and impress.
Simple but unusual questions are the best. And you only need a few, you can ask them all the same question if you want to. Nobody will notice, they are busy talking to someone else.
Don’t ask them about their job, family or what they like to do.
Ask something she hasn’t heard before, something she will have to think about to give you a good answer.
Some unique questions for speed dating or dating in general:
1. Where do you want to be in 3 years?
2. What was your favorite toy when you were a kid?
3. Tell me about your first crush.
4. What do you look for in a guy?
5. If you could jump on a plane tonight, where would you go?
6. What made you pick out that color of scarf?
7. What’s the scariest thing you have ever done?
8. Tell me what superpower would you love to have? Flying, invisible, able to leap buildings?
9. What parts of your job do you absolutely love?
10. Why did you want to try speed dating?
11. How would you spend a million dollars in 30 days?
12. Where do you really want to travel to?
13. Why do you live in Seattle? What do you like about it?
14. What is your favorite holiday?
15. If money was no object, what would you love to do for work?
So there you have some great examples of unique speed dating questions. You only have a few minutes with each person so be different and make her think. If you listen carefully and pay attention, she will give you ideas on where to go next in the conversation. Give her your complete attention and look at her eyes!
