Dating is really not about Dating - Part 2
You will be able to gauge yourself according to other people in that party and dress appropriately. The point is, you will make an effort to look at least half-decent for the occasion. So, instead of winding up in a confused whirlpool of a state prior to the date, the first task is to train your mind that you are just going to any of these parties.
Stop the urge to ask for advice from other people on what you should do or shouldn’t do during the date. Other people love to poke their noses and want to know all the juicy details of your date and in their worldly wisdom give you advice that is sure to succeed. Remember, your aim is to turn this date into ‘not a date’. Do dress up as you if you were going to any other occasion and that’s it, then leave the event to unfold by itself. You will find that towards the end of the date, your dating partner will be positively captivated by you. The secret is that whenever you want something to go without flaw, it usually doesn’t but when you don’t care for it so much, it turns out to be better than you expected. The same thing applies when you are dating, so go ahead and give it a try, date without thinking of it as a date.

A heartwarming romantic movie Ghost - US & Japan
The movie Ghost which was released in 1990 starred Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore and won two Oscars. The film follows two people hopelessly in love with the tragic death of Sam Wheat (played by Patrick Swayze) who comes back as a ghost. The Japanese version of Ghost was released in 2010 and follows the same theme but this time the woman meets with a tragic death.
Both movies portray the strong love and affection that is felt by the couple and the death of one conveys the overwhelming sense of loss. The movie Ghost works well since true love is inextricably linked to the tragic loss and is the centerpiece of the whole story. The movie is best remembered for its famous score ‘Unchained Melody’ by the Righteous Brothers. It is a melody that is laced with sadness and great love all in the same tune. Jerry Zucker the director did well to add this score to the movie. The 2010 version also makes use of this song but sung by a more modern singer.
Although the Japanese version of Ghost (2010) could not match the emotional depth and feelings depicted by both Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, the film nevertheless does a good job of showing compassion and love. If you look close enough you will see some subtleties in each version. The Japanese version is tamed down in the love scenes but one can also detect faint hints of cultural differences with respect to singles pairing up. For example, in the initial scenes where the couple goes through a slow process before making love.
If you want to watch a movie that is heartwarming and at the same time listen to one of the all time classical romantic song then this would be a worthy movie to watch.
