Where to find interesting date venues in Pleasanton - California - Part 2
There are some good eateries in Pleasanton and this has probably come about due to the many businesses that are located here. However, you will find many places are adjacent to Pleasanton in the Dublin area next to the 580 highway. In addition to the top branded hotels, there are many different types of cuisines for people to go and enjoy a fast or a slow meal. In dates, you are likely to end up going to a venue that has the correct ambience and setting where you both feel comfortable and not rushed. Depending on your tastes, you may try the following restaurant venues.
yanagi-shushi-ca-dublin
Sushi:
Yanagi Sushi & Grill
6599 Dublin Boulevard, Dublin, CA
(925) 556-9575 · yanagisushigrill.com
This place has a great ambience to take your date. The tables are far apart to give you some privacy and offers good and cheerful service. Spend time over some of their tasty sushi dishes and mull over some saki to enjoy a pleasurable time with each other.
Chinese:
Shangrila Chinese Cuisine
6568 Village Parkway, Dublin, CA
(925) 828-0918 · shangrilachineseca.com
This place is clean and cheerful. Although the ambience would not be classed as five stars, nevertheless the cuisine and value for money makes this place worthwhile. I would recommend to try some of their fish dishes such as the shrimp with vegetables. The food is always fresh and tastes good too which won’t disappoint.

Where to find interesting date venues in Pleasanton - California
The town of Pleasanton boasts the new West Dublin/Pleasanton Bart station close to the famous Stoneridge Mall. It is in close proximity to Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco where a drive along the 580 highway or the Bart will get you to those places in less than 40 minutes or so. Although the town is well positioned for professional workers and has a thriving community, it lacks in facilities for many singles here. One has to look hard to find activities for singles that will allow them to mingle and meet.
One such place is Shaboom (http://www.shboomnightclub.com/) which is a nightclub with dance, food and entertainment going on most days in the week including weekends. If you are into salsa dancing, visit this venue on Wednesday nights where you will be provided with good entertainment at a great value. For $12 you will be provided with a buffet meal and then followed by two salsa classes for beginner and intermediate dancers and then free dancing till midnight. Evening starts around 7pm, where you should get your buffet meal and follow this up with the salsa classes. People are a friendly bunch here and come in all age groups and you will see some regulars come to this event every Wednesday. If you are a fairly competent salsa dancer but you like to mix with a friendly crowd, then this place will work for you. If you are into Pop or Hip-Hop music, go during the other nights such as Fridays and Saturdays. On those nights you are likely to find more single people since salsa nights seem to draw a different crowd of people. The bar has an extensive supply of drinks to everyone’s taste, so make sure to take a friend with you who doesn’t drink, if you are planning to take the car.

The Boeing 787 debacle and what we can take away from all this
You maybe wondering how the recent events on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner has anything to do with dating or relationships? Well actually it has as I will explain.
the-boeing-787-debacle-and-what-we-can-take-away-from-all-this
Think of Boeing 787 as yourself and the Airbus as one of your rival. Now Airbus has come very strong from it’s early days and now giving Boeing a run for its money. In particular, the Airbus A380 which has the potential to carry over 800 passengers has forced you (Boeing) to come up with something better. This came in the shape of the Dreamliner project which was starkly different to what Airbus offered and was designed to be smaller and one of the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world. As you embarked on this project, you have had to overcome the huge negative responses from the public about it’s delays etc. Finally, you decided to take the plunge and take some short-cuts in the process and launch the Dreamliner a bit prematurely. As a result, you have a new set of problems to deal with, all the small problems that have led to the entire stock of the Dremliners to be grounded until further notice. A huge hit on your credibility and the ability to do business.
The story is very typical of someone’s personality and many would say that businesses are built on sharp people but at the end of the day, it is humans who make the decisions and push the buttons. If you are not careful and you push the wrong button too early, you may have to deal with a situation that you won’t be able to cope with despite the pressure to achieve. It takes great courage and integrity to make good decisions when it comes to a relationship. A lesson learnt is don’t try to over please too early in order to have some calm in the waters, a strong individual will see what lies ahead and is able to make the most effective decisions for the future too.

Songs & Beauty of Nature - Inner Peace & Tranquility
A recent KQED 9 channel aired a very moving documentary on nature and how it can speak to us. Although many of us take nature for granted we cannot explain what it is about nature that moves us and in ways unimaginable. This documentary which I encourage you to see can bring some moments of inner comfort and joy to those of us who are feeling lonely.
Earth Songs - duration 46:09 STEREO TVG - Channel KQED 9

The documentary took two years in the making. I was surprised to see some images of mountains that I have seen elsewhere before and realized that other people have the same ideas of beauty as I have. When we gaze upon a mighty mountain range, we can all associate it with the power of nature but yet we can feel a sense of belonging and peace. The mountains and surrounding waters are two entities that bring some balance and harmony in ways we struggle to understand. A famous writer once said that ‘we stand like a mountain’ and ‘flow like water’. Perhaps the enormous presence of the tall mountains and the rippling still waters are a representation of our own lives.

It is comforting to know that we are not alone and nature has a way of reminding us of the beauty that the world possesses. I go further to say that nature is all around us, the little things around us that we are sometimes oblivious to. Next time you need some lifting, look around you and you will see that the abundance of nature has its place and so do you.

Smart Approach to Avoid Real Dating Scams
Online dating websites have become the most convenient place to find a date these days when we are busy at work and hardly get any time to socialize. With so many dating websites that provide a wide choice of partners for different relationships, most of the people are registered on these websites. Some of them are looking for a genuine relationship to find friends or long term partner or even marriages. A few people though are using these websites to cheat or fool others.
Manti Malietau Louis Te’o is one of the most decorated high school athletes in Hawaii history. Playing as a linebacker for Notre Dame, Manti Te’o is speculated to be a victim of a hoax or Lennay Kekua claiming to be the love of his life being killed in a car accident. Whether the Kekua-Te’o relationship is a myth is another story. There was no accident that happened killing the Californian as claimed by Kekua’s family. With police intervention it was found that the face of Kekua was the face of another woman living in Torrance, California.

Many people have fallen prey to people who they claim to be on dating sites but they are not. Online dating scams are for real. Though online dating websites are an amazing platform to find a companion for the evening or a long term relationship, one has to be extra careful not to become a victim of online dating scams.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
• If he/she insists you leave the dating site and communicate via email
• Expresses instant feelings of love
• Send glamorous pictures about himself or herself
• Claims to be from the US and traveling overseas for work
• Promises to visit you but last minute cancels giving some excuse of a tragic event
• Asks for money for reasons like serious illness, hospital, travel fare or going through some major financial setback
The modus operandi of an online scam can be outlined as:
• You are contacted by someone who appears to be interested in you. You check the profile and the photograph and for weeks you chat online and begin to connect. You get gifts and then your ‘friend’ asks you for money. You send the money and more hardships arises
• You are targeted from your dating profile and all the information that you gave in there. You lose money and you may unknowingly be a part of a money laundering scheme
When looking for love, beware of online dating scams. You can avoid becoming a victim if you keep in mind the tell tale signs and be smart rather than buying into sob stories from your potential date.
If you ever get a feeling that you have been cheated or victimized, please file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center who will analyze the data and forward the complaint to the appropriate agencies.
