Few dating tips for the new year

I gathered few dating tips for the new year:

What should a guy do when a woman tells him “I need time to get to know myself”?

OK, let me do a little translation for you...If a woman says, "I need time to get to know myself" or "I need to find myself" or anyvariation of this common theme, it usually means:"YOU WERE ACTING LIKE A WUSS, BEING CLINGY AND YOU WERE GENERALLY NOT A CHALLENGE ANYMORE. I WANT YOU TO LEAVE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS, SO I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THAT I NEED TIME TO ‘FIND MYSELF’ TO GET YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE WITHOUT A HASSLE."I'm harsh, aren't I?Well, here's the deal. In general, if you become too predictable, too involved, too needy, too wuss-ish, and too "head over heels" too early in the relationship, it will drive a woman away.Think about it this way: The REALLY attractive women have guys chasing them FAR more than the average/below average women. You need to do something DIFFERENT, while at the same time being ATTRACTIVE.Probably the best thing you can do when you finally meet a really great girl is call her HALF as much as you normally would, and give her twice the space. Think about it...

Choose those you have a good chance of dating, don't aim low but do aim realistically. In other words, your dating is based on the whole package you present as well as just your personality. If you are looking for a glamour girl or boy and want to date someone trendy and gorgeous then good for you, but be prepared and be realistic about your chances.

How to approach a woman and avoid rejection?

Never assume someone is free simply because they do not have their wedding band on their hand. Some women wear them others do not. Not to mention that she may have a boyfriend.

make casual invitation to a cup of coffee , Considering that it is at her work place I would make sure that:
a) It would be someplace that is relatively free off other workmates, or
b) Go for the indirect approach as in giving her a card with a little note

Bottom line: If she accept invitations, then she is interested, if she doesn't then you have nothing to be embarrassed about as the message is just a casual invitation to a cup of coffee.

On a Date, Who Pays?

A simple rule of thumb to follow when wondering who pays on a date is: whoever initiated the date, is expected to pay for it.
Having said that, not everyone knows this rule or abides by it. So what do you do when the person who asked you out on a date hasn't made the move to pay?
Wait. Take some time to see whether or not your date intended to pay and they just hadn't picked up the check yet. If they don't pay within five minutes of the check being placed on the table, point casually to the bill and say, "Can I help you with that?" This should signal to the initiator of the date that they were expected to pay, but you're still willing to go dutch if the question of who pays was assumed.

7 Ideas on How to Dump a Guy Nicely

Meet him
Don’t break the news to him over the phone. Not only it is rude but he’s always going to wonder about what went wrong. Give him a chance to hear it from you directly. Email and SMS is even worse. Invite him home or go for a walk together. Either way, sit him down and explain how you feel. Be honest!
Answer why?
Most men are intelligent. He will want some kind of an explanation. Don’t just say ‘It’s off’ and walk away. This was the guy you fell in love with once. So be kind to him and explain why things didn’t work out for you. You owe him some kind of explanation especially if you’ve been together for a while.
Blame yourself
It’s easier and kinder to blame yourself for the break. You could say ‘It’s me, I’m just not ready for somebody as nice as you’ or something to that effect. Don’t lay all the blame on him or you’ll soon be having a fight rather than a conversation.Let him thinkOnce you’ve told him, don’t expect an answer immediately. If he’s in love with you this will probably be breaking his heart. So respect that and let him be. Don’t shower him with questions or a hundred ‘I’m so sorry’s’. He will need a few minutes to let it sink in. Give him that time to think about what’s happened.
Let him talk
He may want to explain things especially if he did something wrong. Hear him out but don’t have that ‘Oh, I wish I had known’ look on your face. If your mind is really made up then let him now this is the end of the road. Avoid getting trapped into the loop again. A firm yet gentle ‘no’ is the best for both of you.
Just friends?
That’s great if he wants it that way. But make sure you tell him how you want to keep the relationship. If a clean break is what you want, be clear that he understands that. If you want to go on as friends, but he doesn’t, then respect that and move on. Don’t sob uncontrollably on his shoulder as you’re the one breaking up with him! Remember?
Don’t hold on
Let him go. If he wants to leave, then let him. Don’t keep pulling him back into conversation. He probably just needs a good drink and some sleep!

A new feature from Google - Google profiles


"A Google Profile is simply how you represent yourself on Google products — it lets you tell others a bit more about who you are and what you're all about. You control what goes into your Google Profile, sharing as much (or as little) as you'd like."Until now, you could create profiles in Blogger, orkut, Google Groups, Google Co-op and all of them could contain different information. You could also add photos in Gmail, Google Talk and orkut, so the situation started to become confusing.The new Google profiles are already available in Shared Stuff, Google Maps, Google Reader and will be added to other web applications. For example, in Google Maps you'll find the link to your profile at the top of the page.
This is a very good news , I would recommend them to add some more profile characteristics such as : age,gender,high etc. adding these profile characteristics will enable people search engine such as Copenda integrate these profiles into their search results.
