The new way of communicating for active daters - Part 1
Thursday, January 31st, 2013
We no longer live in a society where the only form of communication is via telephone. Granted that one of the best inventions of the last century was the telegram or telephone, but nothing can beat the communication tools of today that is now readily available to everyone.
Many of us today routinely take for granted the devices and ease of access to all the information and knowledge that is now freely available over the internet. Unbeknownst to many of us, there is technology that is operating quietly on the backend called VOIP (voice over internet protocol). This is the technology which will ultimately become the standard way of communicating allows users to talk and video chat with other people anywhere in the world. It is the technology framework that has allowed ‘Magic Jack’ to be a huge seller all over the world. It is also the underlying technology that drives Skype users all around the world. In summary, the VOIP is a protocol which allows users to communicate via the standard medium that we are all familiar with and this is the internet. We do not have to communicate via the Telco networks, if we choose not to. So how exactly can you make the most of this when it comes to communicating with other active singles looking for a date. Lets go through the process of communicating for online daters.

If you join a dating website like Jumpdates, you already have access to some of these tools. The first most obvious is the messaging tool and operates very similar to the email application that you are already familiar with. In addition to this messaging system, it may even tell you if the user is currently online and logged into Jumpdates. You can then transition to the ‘instant messenger’ that Jumpdates also offers. Here again, the system is similar to the chat system that you may have across such as Yahoo chat, MSN or AOL chat. Suppose now that you wanted to communicate via voice. You have the option of exchanging telephone numbers, but this is not encouraged right away until you get to know the person well enough. In this situation, you can talk over using your phones and depending upon the Telco services that you have signed up to you will incur the appropriate charges.

Four tips on dating in an Office Political Environment
Wednesday, January 30th, 2013
A while ago we covered the subject of office dating in an office environment and about the dos and donts.
However, there are some hidden office politics in place that one needs to understand and be aware of. This will help you to continue your office romance without having any disruptions to your job. Here are four tips to consider:
Four tips on dating in an Office Political Environment
(1) First find out where office romance stands in the political shelf of the company.
This will vary from one place to another, in some cases it will be relaxed whereas other places it will be very strict. It may border on sexual harassment if other colleagues report it to HR.
(2) Be discreet but genuine
Do not fret too much over a romance you are having with someone as long as it is permitted. Be genuine and don’t feel that need to cover every track. Sometimes, it doesn’t take that much for other colleagues to know the signals are all there.
(3) Absolutely no sex in the office
This may seem like a trivial piece of advice but many have made this mistake and have regretted it.
(4) Do not let the romance interfere with your work
This also may seem obvious, but the point is that you may get up in very emotional feelings that you don’t have any control over. This can indirectly impact your work and bring a negative rap with your other colleagues.

Dr Dato: Dating Fantasies and Truth of LA Singles
Wednesday, January 30th, 2013
Los Angeles is ranked as the third best city for singles by Forbes. A city loaded with singles, nightlife, arts and culture, the concerts, Universal studios, theme parks, beaches, hiking trails, the sun, rollerblading, boardwalks, the observatory, amazing restaurants, shopping malls makes it one of the most exciting cities to live in. The openness of most people and the friendly fit women appears to be the perfect blend to find a date easily.
Dr Dato: Dating Fantasies and Truth of LA Singles
The upscale nightclubs and lounges are known for their plush interiors and trendy music which are where the crowd gets unruly after drinks. The popularity of these clubs attracts the hottest performers and musicians in the trade. Lot of venues offers live music that adds a different charm to the place. The dance clubs are the place to get into the dance rhythm even if you have two left feet.
Los Angeles becomes the ideal place to make life so complete and fulfilling for LA singles. Find the right person to date and life is a scripted romantic Hollywood movie. The most good looking guys and sexy gals are residents here. The singles in the world dream to find an LA single as his/her partner. Each one searches for that perfect mate who will be the soul mate. Dreaming is easy and fun but converting the dream into reality is tougher here.
The most vibrant city in the world where one can enjoy life and relax is facing a major issue on the dating front. LA singles ratio is totally skewed. Women have more options to choose their men so it is tougher for her to decide who the best choice is. This can be an advantage for the singles world to find the handsome hunk as a date or soul mate.
Distance is another barrier to intimacy. LA has an area of about 5000+ square miles and a traffic that will drive you crazy. Even if you have found the cute person you are interested in, the traveling time and traffic pose an obstacle which one has to overcome every time. The energy that is required to overcome this potential barrier is called the activation energy. Science tells us that higher the activation energy, the less the chance of the occurrence of the event so people are less likely to meet often and thereby remain casual friends. Attempting to meet somebody 20 miles away is like traveling along the length of Manhattan twice or crossing a few borders in Europe! If you are in another state then don’t book your ticket for LA but any nearby airport to sideline the traffic and commotion at the airport.
The more often you meet the stronger the relationship develops. With distance most of the people are in cars so there is minimal probability of meeting someone regularly as you don’t tend to walk around the block. Traffic and bottlenecks force even the most punctual people to miss an appointment. Showing up late makes you feel unworthy even if it is beyond your control. This develops into disinterest which evolves as a dating obstacle in LA.
Though LA is loaded with lots of entertainment and attractions like night clubs and museums the fun factor for the LA singles is much lower as compared to other cities in USA. Night life shuts as 1 am and there is lack of public transport too. If one has to drive back home, one has to keep sober. Lesser the party time, lesser drinking which amounts to lesser fun. This also keeps people away from partying and increases the stress levels.
Each person needs a companion to relax and unwind. The best option for LA singles to find a companion from amongst the ones who are in close proximity either at work or school. Relax and unwind with your friends and enjoy the beautiful city of LA whether you are single or dating. Open your mind and think of the various options available, enjoy your hobby, form a group and reconnect with real people.
Why You Are Single?
Monday, January 28th, 2013
Everybody looks out for a companion at every stage in their lives. If you are single, most of you have asked yourself “why me”? Devote some time for yourself and ask yourself the answer to these questions that are probably preventing you from developing a relationship.
• The top excuse is that I am focusing on my career. Successful people do maintain relationships. Stop hiding behind your work and look for a person to add spice to your life. Support will come in many guises in having a good partner in a relationship
Why You Are Single
• Are you afraid of change or commitment? Most people find a comfort zone in the way they live their life. A companion surely enhances the quality of life so why are you denying companionship even if you had one failed relationship?
• Have you set unrealistic standards about yourself? You believe your standards are so high that you are preventing people from meeting and relating to them. Let go and have some fun
• Relationship is a two way street which requires hard work. Are you lazy that you don’t want to work towards building and nurturing a relationship?
• I am not attractive/hot/young/smart enough to find a date is what you have started believing in? Forget what others say, get your confidence and self esteem up and focus on where you want to go
Don’t fool yourself. Go find a date for yourself amongst your friends or from online dating websites rather than hiding behind excuses.

Structured Dating Advice in the book for Dummies by Dr. Joy Browne - part 2
Sunday, January 27th, 2013
The remaining part of Dr Joy’s book is dedicated to explaining in detail how to find dates and prepare for the dates. She goes into explicit details of these topics related to dating and I find it in some cases often overkill. Any intelligent person will be aware of the certain do’s and dont’s of dating and they don’t have to be reminded of this. Although the book does structure itself to provide the relevant details such that you can skip certain chapters and jump to your topic of interest.
Structured Dating Advice in the book for Dummies by Dr. Joy Browne - part 2 - jumpdates
I was curious to read about her advice on the sexual matters of dating and she aptly titles this chapter (31) with a commandment…Ten Sexual Commandments of Dating. Her advice thankfully is up with the modern times and she makes it very clear that sex is something important and should not be rushed as there are consequences. She does not advocate when you should have sex, but she states that only when you feel totally comfortable and you want to for the genuinely right reasons. For example, not because you are being pressured, cajoled or through peer pressure or on a rebound etc. Dr Joy also mentions the importance of using protection in these days of growing STD cases.
Dating for Dummies although in it’s 2nd edition, is a refreshing guide for daters who need a structured plan that they can follow and make use of. It is useful for inexperienced daters as well as the experienced daters. Like they say, it’s easy to pick up bad habits and this book may highlight those bad habits that need to be corrected. The book is well structured and simple to read and follow and is a good read for anyone who is in the area of dating but also for others who are just looking only for a light-hearted read.
