Dating Opportunities Are More Abundant Than Ever Before
Dating, there are many thoughts that word brings about. Many of us have had both bad and good experiences with dating. Most of us can say that those experiences go back to our teenage years, when we first began dating. As we developed into a teenager, our maturity evolves and
emerge, as does our experience with dating. Dating, the
awe
inspiring teenage ~thing~ to do, one of life~s greatest
milestones, finally we are into it, girl meets boy or boy
meets girl and suddenly we are thrown into the often
exciting world of dating! So what is all the hoopla about? In times gone by, courting
was the olden day version of the more modern times dating.
Courting, sort of a catch me if you can type dating scenario
was a societal event. Courting was time to get to know one
another, to develop a friendship before the routine of
a relationship were thrown into the mix. These days we call
it dating, but it is a far cry from the ritualistic courting
that our ancestors were accustomed to. Or is it? Maybe
today
we are much more open and that openness has become
the big
difference in courting versus dating. Dating is modern! Dating is hip! Dating is the definition
of hormonal overload! Unfortunately gone are the days
where
impressing them was the aim of the game; whereas today,
dating is much more complicated than that! With many avenues of dating available to us today, dating
serves an identifiable purpose to most. Dating is about how
to find your first sexual experience, how to find that life
long partner that you have often dreamt about; dating is
about life experience, an act where it could occur just the
once or could continue for months, often years. Dating could
spark romance or electrify with heartbreak. So how do we go about attracting a date? Dating services
are
everywhere. Every roadside billboard lists web based dating
services, every evening television advertisement mentions
dating chat lines, every newspaper has a personal
questions
column, every club offers a speed dating service. The best thing to do is to get a clear picture of what it
is you are wanting in the way of a relationship. Keep
that vision in mind and be alert to how synchronicity
brings you opportunities for the right person to show up! The author has been through all the "normal" ways of
meeting people, including blind dates. Her motto is: "dating
should be done with your eyes wide open", instead of
closed with your fingers crossed and hoping for the best. She has taught many people to get clear about what they
are looking for in regards to a potential mate. Carmella Difonzo is passionate about dating and

The Best First Date
First dates cause anxiety and thoughts of disastrous and embarrassing moments. We all dread the awkward but necessary first date. It comes with the territory when looking for love. But it isn't necessary to feel this way. You can have the best first date experience with every new person you go out with from now on. Here are a few tips on how you can actually enjoy yourself and possibly make yourself even more attractive on each first date.
Don't bring your expectations or baggage with you. The last thing your date wants to hear about are your past relationships, ex's and the problems you had with other people. You not only sound like a whiner who can't let go, but you also make yourself sound critical. If you also list what you think a relationship or person should have been, you are setting the other person up for failure because you are obviously judgmental. Your past is your past and it should stay there. You are with a person who has many aspects of their personality you can spend countless hours exploring. Look at it as an adventure instead of like a job application. Enjoy each new thing you learn about the person even if you know you don't want to see them again. You never know what you will learn or if you have found a new friend.
When you leave to meet your date, remind yourself that you are your own person and this is a great opportunity for someone to get to know who you are. You are a person with dreams, ideas and intelligent thoughts that can share so much with the right person. Walk into your date comfortable in your own skin. Maintain your happy composure and keep the conversation light but honest.
Don't talk about yourself in any negative terms. If you point out what you consider to be your shortcomings and flaws, they will be seen. They might have only been visible to you before you called attention to them. You will also be obvious in your insecurities and this can make other people feel uncomfortable. This is not a feeling you want someone you are interested in to associate with you.
While it is absolutely acceptable to participate in conversation, remember to be just as good a listener. It means so much to people when they feel as if they have someone's undivided attention and they are important enough to have your focus. When making a comment on a topic or answering a question, you are letting them know you find them interesting and worth the time and thought. This courtesy is not always noticed on the surface, but when they think back on the date, they will feel as if you truly cared about who they are and what they have to say.
Finally, show them that you have a sense of humor and have fun. Laughter and humor is attractive on its own and can only help ease the tension of a stressful meeting situation. While you might not meet 'the one' on your next first date, you will know you gave it your all and the next one won't be so bad.

Defining a Relationship
How does one know when a relationship is really a relationship? Very good question for all of us to ponder don't you think? Generally, when you meet someone and decide to persue some type of relationship, you most often think if the other person agrees to go out with you multiple times, one begins to think that you "click" and that maybe, just maybe this time it might work out. Do we all live in a dream world? I must make it clear that I am not "profiling" either sex as both genders are guilty of this practice. Sometimes when you meet and things click along beautifully you just automatically assume that they are just as interested in you as you are them, not always the case and we need to be aware of the signs that tell us this.
