Food that Make You Less Anxious before Dating
Friday, February 1st, 2013
No matter how often you go on a date, one just gets anxious every time like it is the first time. That is the beauty of dating and the mind cannot comprehend nor contain the excitement of spending time with a companion.
It is always more convenient to pop a cookie or a chocolate when one is anxious. One tends to eat more when stressed or anxious. To make dating more enjoyable, it is better to unwind and de-stress with foods that help one to relax and not pile on unnecessary calories either.
Food that Make You Less Anxious before Dating
The best drink to relax the mind is a glass of milk. Milk is known to contain Tryptophan. Ice cream is also known to have the same effect but it must be low in sugar content so as not to consume unnecessary calories.
Eggs are a great source of amino acids and tryptophan. Remember to eat it hours before you go else you will be relaxed but your date will get turned-off with the pungent odor.
Cheese is loaded with proteins and has a calming effect on the brain. Cottage cheese, cheddar, Gruyere, Swiss and Ricotta are known to contain tryptophan.
Honey in its natural form relaxes the mind and body as well. The potassium in the honey has a soothing effect on the brain and nerves which relaxes you.
Nuts and seeds are a good option to munch on before going on a date. The Vitamin B keeps you relaxed and keeps the stomach full too so it does not grumble.
Last but not the least is dark chocolate which must contain at least 70% cocoa. All these foods contain Tryptophan which induces production of serotonin (the feel good hormone) and help you relax almost instantly. The relaxing effect on the brain ultimately makes dating more exciting and fulfilling.

The new way of communicating for active daters - Part 3
Thursday, January 31st, 2013
There are many applications that are available for the smartphone that allow users to communicate seamlessly much like a phone and it does not depend on where they are on earth as long as their service carrier has fast enough data speeds. Telco companies are now investing heavily on the carrier space as they see strong growth due to the strong demand for smartphone. Already companies are offering high speed 4G networks with speeds between 2-40 Mbps. Be sure to check with your carrier first before attempting to make calls using your smartphone as they may charge you for over data usage. Here are a list of few other apps that are growing in popularity.
This is a messaging app. that allows any smartphone user to send instant messages similar to the instant messages you have now. The advantage is that the messaging is seamless and extends the functionality of the SMS messaging provided by the Telco carrier. When two people have this app installed on their smartphones, they will have a seamless way of communicating via SMS irrespective of where they are on the planet.
Another popular service that has won many friends is an app called Viber. This app has the ability to make free calls too and is available for all the platforms such as IOS, Android and now the Windows Phone.
As you can see there are many ways for online daters to communicate with their partner once they have found them online. It does not matter where you are on the planet, providing if you are savvy enough to have a smartphone and few of these great communication tools then you can probably talk from sunset till dawn without any issues. For those that still do not have smartphones there is also the option of pre-paid phone cards. These offer exceptionally cheap call rates to rest of the world but the disadvantage is that you will need to make a pre-arrangement with your date that you will be calling them at a specific time. The smartphone apps are always open to you and providing your date on the other end does not have his/her phone turned off and internet connection always remains on then you can both talk freely whenever and wherever.

The new way of communicating for active daters - Part 2
Thursday, January 31st, 2013
In this modern day the world has become a tiny place and suppose you wanted to chat with someone from say England or Morocco. In these situations, there are many options available to you and this is where VOIP scores big time and can be a great cost saving to you. We show you one of the most easiest way of communicating through VOIP primarily using Skype as this is one of the best known communication tool available today. The cost associated with making calls using skype may be zero or minimal at best.
Skype:
This is the most ubiquitous software known by practically everyone in the western hemisphere and allows for voice and video communication when two users have the same application installed on their computer or smartphones. The quality of the voice and video chat will depend on the internet connection speeds between the two parties. If there is a degradation in speed then one will hear the words jumbled up or not even hear at all. The skype application relies on both the applications to be properly configured on both ends ie. mics and videos set up properly for communication.
Skype uses a unique skype name that is assigned to you and anyone given the proper contact can send their contact information or request that their contact information be acknowledged by the recipient. Although skype to skype calls are free, you do have the option to talk to someone who has a land line. In this case skype will charge a small fee for the privilege of using their VOIP as well as making a connection to the Telco service at the destination end.
Many users especially in the countries that have the modern and high speed internet infrastructures have made use of Skype devices. Essentially these are hardware devices that are permanently connected to your internet router and operate very similar to a phone system. Assuming that the internet connection is always on, then these devices will remain on and bleep or ring when a call comes in from another skype user. You can simply pick up the skype phone and talk in the same way as you would with normal phones. Some skype hardware devices also have video integrated with the system which allows you to see video too!
With the growing popularity of the smartphones you can expect Skype to have made applications for these type of devices too. In actual fact, these apps have been available for a number of years and theoretically, it is possible for anyone to chat one to one free of charge if both individuals have the skype application installed on their phones. This once introduced a problem to the Telco companies who tried to find ways to circumvent this from happening. However, at the end of the day, you will still need a Telco carrier for your phone anyways and most of the Telco plans are prepaid on a monthly basis. For example, you can purchase 450 minutes per month or 750 with any leftover minutes rolling over to the next month such as in the case with AT&T. All Telco companies have some kind of a data plan where they make money from the bandwidth utilized by applications such as skype etc.
