Dating Tips for Those Who've Been Out of the Game for a While by Holly McCarthy

If you are newly single, or haven't been out there for quite some time, the world of dating is somewhat new and improved, for lack of a better phrase. However, some of the same old rules still apply when it comes to dating. Take a look at some of the following tips if you feel like you might just be a little rusty when it comes to dating.

Be Yourself

Although it is some of the most cliché-sounding advice you'll ever hear, it is so true. More and more, individuality is something that is celebrated, no matter how homogenized our society seems to be becoming. We may have more options, but we are all slowly becoming conformists for various reasons. Don't change who you are for anyone else; if you are comfortable with who you are, you need to wait for the person who will love you for being you.

Take Care of Yourself

In order to feel good about yourself, you're going to need to have high self-esteem. Make sure that you take good care of yourself in various ways. Eat well and make sure you get plenty of exercise and activity. Buy clothes that complement your body right now and that make you feel good when you wear them. Get a great haircut and look sharp—you never know when you're gong to run into someone special.

Hang Out with Your Single Friends

No one understands the plight of a single person like another single person. Social events and gatherings are more fun when you have someone to share the experience with, and you may just run into two friends of the opposite sex who are looking for someone to meet as well. Get out and about with your single friends regularly and own your life. You will meet someone who's right for you in time.

Use Caution if You Decide to Date Online

There are many stories in the news about online predators and people who scan dating sites just looking for action. If you are really looking for something serious, look into online dating sites and read reviews of the sites by users. This is one great thing about using the internet: everyone's a critic. Check into dating sites thoroughly before picking one. Most are not entirely free if you are serious about finding someone online, so do your research.

Humorous Romantic Resolutions for 2009 by Miss Know It All

I am not one to make resolutions for the New Year, because within a week, those promises are usually broken. Most people are good at making and keeping pledges when it comes to love and romance. However, I decided to be a contrarian and came up with twelve amusing declarations, which I really plan to execute. You might agree with me and try some of these affirmations. If they work, you can thank me; if they do not, you can still thank me. Have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

Resolution No. 1 - I will search and find love and romance in all the wrong places.

Resolution No. 2 - If I meet someone and decide to get married, I will make that person sign a pre-nuptial agreement, but if he asks me to sign one, I will drop him like a hot potato.

Resolution No. 3 - On my wedding day, I will promise to be faithful unless someone better comes along.

Resolution No. 4 - I will always support my true love, even if he flat broke, behind in his child support payments or has no credit history.

Resolution No. 5 - If I find my future husband, I will not lose weight to fit into a wedding dress half my size but will continue to eat junk food as a reward to myself for finally snagging my better or worst half.

Resolution No. 6 - I will not judge a person by his looks but will definitely look at his bank statements.

Resolution No. 7 - I will play the romance card to avoid repaying a loan to my ex.

Resolution No. 8 - If I am in a committed relationship, I will make it clear that what is mine is mine and what is his is mine.

Resolution No. 9 - On my first date, I will talk about all the men who have done me wrong.

Resolution No. 10 - On my first date, I will discuss what type of wedding I desire, how much he should plan to spend on the reception and the number of children I plan not to have.

Resolution No. 11 - I will never do a background check on someone I meet on-line.

Resolution No. 12 - On Saint Valentine's Day, I will send my my ex a greeting card that reads, "Still not missing you."

Singles Socialize - Social Network For Singles

About www.SinglesSocialize.com:

We created this website with you (the single person) in mind. Although you may meet that special someone on www.siglessocialize.com, it is not your traditional “dating” website. We noticed a big change in the dating world and a void online. What we mean by this, is that traditional ways of meeting others is dying and social networking has become so popular, but how about a place where singles can just be single without the pressure of creating ads to sell themselves? Before we created this website we did some research and found lots of other social networking singles sites but they were very niche markets geared towards specific groups. We never found anything that focused just on singles globally. We thought if singles could share information amongst each other around the world, it would be powerful. Our main focus is to create an open forum to multiple levels of human interaction regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion or culture.

Singles Socialize is a free lounge with many features such as:
