Five Tips For Dating The Right Way

admin — Mon, 02 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Dating the right way is important, but few people know exactly what this phrase means. If you are trying online dating, here are 5 ideas you can follow to keep yourself safe.

1. Keep initial contact brief. Okcupid tells its users not to proposition people for a certain activity, especially someone you have never met. If you need to guess what this activity is, you probably should not be reading this.
2. Arrange to conduct the initial meeting in a public place. Dates, unfortunately, are a part of dating. A restaurant or a movie works well. The Internet abounds with predators. A person wants to be somewhere where he can get help if he needs it. More often, it is a she who needs to get help, but the idea remains the same.
3. Repeat the process for the next couple of dates. The process of dating enables both parties to get to know each other and to build trust. Taking the second date to a private place is just a bad idea.
4. Disclose certain things up front. Religions and political views are a good idea. If a person is Asexual and dating, it’s a good idea to disclose this as well.
5. Do not be afraid to break off a relationship that isn’t working. There’s nothing wrong with doing this.

When it comes to dating in Dallas, it can seem overwhelming and scary. Before you get to the first date, you have to know where to find that great person. Going for a bike ride on the Katy Trail or venturing out to a newly opened wine bar will not only be fun, but it will also give you a chance to make new friends. Trying new activities and adventures will not only help in finding a hot date, but will also make you a well-rounded individual. So, you found a great girl, what next?

The best way to make a first date as comfortable as possible is to meet at a public location, like a casual caf. If the weather is particularly lovely, a visit to the Dallas Arboretum is always a fantastic first date. The key to a perfect first date is finding an atmosphere that allows you to get to know each other while being interesting enough to give you things to talk about if the conversation lags. A great example of this is the Dallas Farmers Market. You will be able to just stroll, taking in the sights and smells, while getting to know your date.

Where To Go On A Date

A date should be something fun for both parties. Break out of the dating rut (movie and dinner) by doing something different. Why don’t you plan a date that takes you from morning into night? This will give you plenty of time to discover more about each other and spend some real quality time with your special someone. Weekends are great for planning an all day date. Start by picking up your date and taking him or her to a nice brunch. Once you’re done with brunch head over to Forth Worth to visit the Fort Worth Museum of Science and Industry, www.fwmuseum.org. This is a great place to have some fun. You can visit the dinosaur exhibit and dinosaur dig that’s outside along with other exhibits. After your trek at the museum take a drive to downtown to spend the balance of your date enjoying Sundance Square. You’ll find plenty of shops and art galleries to explore, which is another way to learn your date’s likes and dislikes. Plus, when you get hungry you don’t even have to leave Sundance Square. You’ll find a large assortment of eateries, including Mexican food, seafood, fast food, barbecue and many other options.

Finally find a Dallas/Ft. Worth woman worth your while? Well there’s no better way to begin a meaningful relationship than by making a great first impression, so know where to you take your prospective woman when the Texas moon is full. Here are our recommendations for the best first date spots in the Metroplex.

Galaxy Drive In Theater Try staying away from traditional high end restaurants. Over the course of a relationship there will be plenty of time to win and dine, but first dates should be distinctly memorable. The Drive In offers an old timey feel she will be sure to remember. Not to mention, if you’re a little shy or awkward, there’s a no talking policy at movie theatres, playing right into your wheelhouse.
300 Dallas If you can’t lift at least a 10-pound ball with reasonable ease or fall back on the time-tested “I sprained my wrist in calligraphy class” excuse, it might be in your best interest to continue scrolling down the page, but for those who enjoy a side of bowling mixed in with your hearty, chef-prepared entre, 300 Dallas has you covered. You won’t find the traditional bowling alley menu of fried cheese, fried wings and fried fries, rather skewered steaks marinated to perfection, fresh flatbreads, a selection of specialty pizzas and more.
Pocket Sandwich Theatre Like the movies, live theater also is of benefit to the reserved in nature, though Pocket Sandwich’s emphasis on audience participation may cater more to the extroverted dater who would like to show off his multifaceted personality (read: lack of shame). Complete with original shows and quirky atmosphere, Pocket Sandwich Theatre is an unforgettable experience like nowhere else in Texas.

Save The Single Gourmet

www.nhfcdallas.org — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 11:05:45 +0000

Are you single, getting older and not ashamed to eat until your heart’s content? You may soon be running out of luck all-together. For the past 8 years Dallas/Ft. Worth area foodies have had a monthly sanctuary in which to come together under the common bond of delicious eats at The Single Gourmet. After all, who cares if you overindulge as long as you have somebody to gain weight with? There’s no minimum weight requirement, but for singles who would rather order more than a dainty salad and could use a night out fellow veterans of the DFW dating scene, The Single Gourmet has offered the best of both worlds.As a member of The Single Gourmet, participants have been privy to classes and instruction in both gourmet cooking and fine dining, with a full calendar of specially hosted events catering to unattached men and women between the ages of 30 and 70, finally giving a reprieve from the loud, bar-centric social setting even aging singles have been all too often subjected to. Unfortunately, unless someone takes over the Single Gourmet business, an entire community of sophisticated individuals of refined taste will soon be forced to make the ultimate walk of shame back into the world of delivery Chinese food and on-Demand movies from whence they came.Without immediate action The Singles Gourmet may be gone forever, meaning no more multi-course dinners, wine tastings and worst of all, quality time with interesting people. It’s certainly still possible to find love if you’re over 30, though without great common interest groups and low pressure settings like The Singles Gourmet, it can be tough sledding in a city seemingly filled residents barely able to buy their own wine, much less discern an aged pinot from boxed Franzia.

Like a good secretary would, the service does all the leg work, from putting the two parties in contact to actually making the reservation. All interested singles have to do is make a phone call to the It’s Just Lunch! office and come in for a confidential interview before finding themselves well on their way towards a fresh and potentially very rewarding lunch. Love and success can co-exist in the working world, if you can just manage to steal away from the office for a quick bite to eat.

From cramped cabin space in cars and on airplanes to communication issues with less vertically adequate individuals in social situations, it ain’t easy being tall.

Basic Dating Etiquette

www.nhfcdallas.org — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 12:00:14 +0000

In order to send you out into the singles world, we feel it necessary to lay out a few ground rules in order to maintain your upstanding reputation. Follow these general guidelines in order to ensure both parties, in fact, realize they are on a date and will want to turn the first date in to a second:

Show up, this is, by all accounts, the most important step.
Feminism may have made major strides over the past several decades. The man still pays, regardless.
Women, pretend like you are going to at least think about paying. Men appreciate the gesture; a good faith reach for the purse goes a long way.
Official “dates” are scheduled no less than 24 hours in advance. Any sentence beginning with, “Hey, I’m on my way to the” and ending in ” want to come with?” does not qualify as a legitimate date.
When you are a date with one person, do not show favoritism or devote more attention to another person (save for scenarios in which you are licensed professional and medical attention must be immediately administered).
Past boyfriends and girlfriends should remain in the past.
Shower beforehand.
See your date through to the end. If, as a man, someone has the courtesy to accompany you out or, as a woman, someone has the courtesy to pay for your meal, cutting the night short at the first potential turn-off is rude (unless, of course, you feel you may be in legitimate danger).
White tees are only acceptable at graffiti parties.
No t-shirts are acceptable in fine dining situations, no matter how much you paid per rhinestone.
Treat women as if they lack opposable thumbs, thus cannot open anything for themselves.
If you’re divorce isn’t final, or was just recently thrown out there in a hypothetical situation by your spouse, you are not actually on the market. Go home.
