  • Cheating 14.02.2009 Comments Off on Valentines day is big for investigators to catch cheating

    I just stumbled upon an article from a news station that has an interview from a private investigator who says his business is swamped for valentines day. Apparently it’s a good day to catch someone cheating. It seems that it’s believed many people will try to spend time with their spouse or primary lover, but also get away and spend some time with the person that they are cheating with.

    So a date at the movies sounds like an easy no brainer, it’s been part of the American heritage for many years, but a date at the movies is not as simple as it looks in the movies.

    Tonight was a great night for a movie date, and for several reasons. First off it was an easy choice since there a new film out that we would both enjoy seeing. That takes out the whole “let’s barter about which movie to see”. Often it’s a choice of something the girl is going to enjoy and the guy will be bored with, or visa versa. Tonight that was not an issue. Twilight was still playing, and we both wanted to see it.

  • I’ve dated several girls over the years who are / were bisexual, and there are both pluses and minuses to the whole bisexual dating scene. Of course most people who have not dated a bisexual girl or guy think about the ultimate threesome fantasy and about kinky threeway sex, and certainly that can be great fun, and sometimes it can lead to incredible love being shared, but it’s not all Hollywood or a porno flick the whole time, there can be downsides to it as well.

    Today I read an interesting article from a girl who had a great experience with speed dating at her college in Oregon. I was impressed that she included some other sides of the coin such has some negative issues with speed dating, things that I had not considered.

    This story brought a tear to my eye! In an article from Reuters, that I found via yahoo news, we learn that an 81 year old man posted online looking for younger women to date. After conversing with more than 50 women and meeting and dating several, he hooked up with a girl 23 years younger, and they just got married!

    A snippet from the article:

    An 81-year-old Chinese man has proved age need not be a barrier to Internet love, marrying a 58-year-old bride he met online, a local newspaper reported.

  • Interesting article found via the Tennessean, originally from a USA today writer, asks the question of what to call the person you are intimately involved with, when you are over 25. I agree that boyfriend and girlfriend may sound childish when you are over 30 in some circles and social situations.

  • This is the story of how I’m getting over my fear of asking someone out, and why.

    Tonight I was at the local cafe with some friends and this beautiful girl walks down the stairs and our eyes meet. The eye contact lasted longer than I expected, and when she got to the bottom of the stairs she looked down, then looked back at me. At this moment I knew there was a mutual attraction between the two of us, I certainly did not expect the look back. I couldn’t help but to stare watch her walk outside the cafe. I gazed with admiration as she walked around the corner, and she actually looked back at me, it was a look of interest, not a look of “why are you staring at me”. I watched her walk to a car with her friend, and I sat there glued to my seat.mistakes - motivation

  • Tips for Better Dates 17.02.2008 Comments Off on A couple body language hints for judging the first date

    Found these tidbits in an article about body language at Web MD:

    Body Language Put to the Test continued…

    First dates. First dates are laden with body language signs that can help you gauge whether or not a person is interested.

    “Men tend to talk a lot on first dates when they’re interested in a woman,” says Wood. “If you’re interested back, make eye contact and listen.”

    If either person isn’t interested, and looks around the room and avoids eye contact, that’s a sign that a second date isn’t likely.
