Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This website is worth exploring as this article indicates and we will be conducting a review of this site shortly, so keep watching our section on Free Dating Site Reviews.
The concept behind GroupeeLove seems to address the growing proliferation of niche market sites such as dating sites that appeal to music lovers, cats and even gadgets. A review of those sites can be found in our section on Startup Online Dating Sites.
The way the site works is that it empowers users to create their own group and is best explained by an example. Lets say you lived in New York and you loved cats, you could create a group called ‘Must Love Cats, NYC’ and advertise this group on the site to draw attention from people with the same interest. In this way you can have all kinds of groups which people will be drawn to and have some common ground of conversation and possibly develop a relationship.
Although the idea is novel, time will tell if it has a wider appeal.

Dating online? Beware of grammar errors! - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The post highlights the importance of maintaining a profile that is free from grammatical and typo mistakes. In online dating, the first impressions are created by what is written on the profile apart from the photo of course. If the information presented here does not read well then it may fail to impress the reader and they will simply move on.
In my opinion, it is a good idea to look over your dating profile and ask yourself whether someone who read your profile will be impressed by it. Get your friend, family to go over it and ask them for feedback and suggestions. It’s amazing how often we can find mistakes just by going over the written material a few times.
I have seen dreadful use of unstructured sentences, capitalization, pronunciation that makes the profile look like it was written by a young child and this can come across very negatively when read by other users.
To increase your chances of finding that ideal partner, you do not want to overlook this important topic. It is often the case where I have met people who are extremely articulate verbally but their written language is poor and since in online dating the first impressions are created from the written material, it needs to be done right.
bad grammar can reflect badly on your dating profile

Online love or larceny? - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The article talks about potential scams to be aware of in the online dating world. In the case of Susan who thought she had met her ideal man was gradually becoming suspicious of his activities so she hired an investigator to track his activities. She found later that he was bankrupt and was married.
Some folks have been unfortunate enough to have got married only to find the next day that their entire belongings and life savings was stolen by the person they married and who had disappeared altogether.
These stories are likely very few and could happen to any one of us. The important thing is to be cautious but not overly cautious creating resentment in your relationship. It is best to get to know the person as well as you can and to get to know them in their own social environment ie. the habitat they live in with friends, family, relatives etc. In this way you will likely get a better picture of what kind of a person he/she is just by interacting with others.
My thinking is that most of the unfortunate situations arise from individuals who are completely immersed in their own world and ignore the social interactions with others. By interacting and doing things along with other people can paint a better picture of the person and their characteristics and personality. This will give you more confidence and trust to take the relationship further or not.
winning genuine trust requires effort in a social environment

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
No one every said that online dating is easy and not only that, it can be very stressful if you are not too careful. This post has been written by medical doctor who gives sensible advise on how to reduce your stress load when it comes to online dating since without good health what’s the point of dating, right?
Although he covers several points that affects stress and how to reduce this, I have taken the most important ones and listed here.
- take out coffee or any caffeine out of your diet: this is a common advise given to many people and can have much beneficial effects on the body and system
- exercise: you knew this was coming, but clearing your head and going for a short walk can do you a world of good
- mult-tasking: pace yourself at work and play, you can often tell when you are being un-productive when something is taking longer than usual, go for a break and come back and tackle whatever task with a fresh mind.
So there you have it, the actual advise will also apply to your other walks of life. In online dating, pace yourself, be consistent and you will find that you are less stressed than you think and at the same time being productive with your tasks.
staying healthy with a good mind will make you more productive in mundane tasks

Garage Sale for Kids (Creative Date Idea) - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Here is an interesting idea for a date.
The post suggests that you take your date to a garage sale with the sole purpose of buying inexpensive toys that you can donate to the local kids charity like “Toys for Tots”. The idea of the date is to create a “feel good’ mood.
My thoughts, although these kind of dates sounds like fun it can backfire, particularly if this is your first or second date and depends who would be driving this ie. the woman or the man. I can see some alarm bells going off in a man’s head as to suggest that a woman should take such a bold a step as making this kind of recommendation.
Any creative date of this nature will need to be thought of before hand and discussed with the each other to gauge the comfort level or discomfort level of doing any kind of activity. I am pretty sure that even when during the first date, there is almost always a debate and discussion of where to go on the first date even if its something like the movie, coffee, dinner etc.
I would get to know the person in advance before being creative in the dating activity and also recommend that women wait for the men to come up with the dates without sounding too sexist.
creative dating ideas need to be planned ahead to avoid embarrassment
