A Fun full Way to Meet in Speed Dating

May 8, 2010 By LoveEngineer.com Leave a Comment

Speed dating is not only a successful way of meeting a novel date but also full of fun. Its physiology makes sure that you are not bored from the word go, since you only meet the date for only seven minutes. Incase you don’t like the person, you have nothing to worry  about since you can easily create good rapport with the other 10 or 20 single women whom you have been lined to meet. The act of moving from one date to the next as you weigh your options is full of fun and you have the mental advantage to put your creative side at work.

Speed dating gives you the right and motivation to ask questions which you want, and in so doing, you command the conversation as you realize how fruitful it can be in meeting so many women intent on meeting you. The good thing is that you don’t have to force anything on the date; you are able to share a participatory conversation as you weigh the capacity of your chemistry and attraction, whether it is there or not. Incase it is not, there is nothing to worry about: another line of 9 to 19 women are waiting for you.

Speed dating makes sure that you don’t waste time and lower your morale and confidence as you ascertain what to say during a date. This is because, the person you are meeting is aware of what he/she is there for, and you engage in a journey of ultimate discovery immediately without beating about the bush. This gives you a lot of confidence and with it the capacity to enjoy every moment. Other dating programs such as personal ads take a long time to mature and once they do, there is the fear of whether the date will or will not satisfy your expectations. Speed dating makes sure that you don’t undergo this kind of torture and waste of time and resources. You tackle the dating issue there and there and save a lot of time. With our ever busy lives, online dating through personal ads is sometimes cumbersome and takes a lot of time to mature.

Many people fail to realize that having fun in a dating program is sometimes hard because once you have made your mind to begin meeting, initiating the conversation with a total stranger draws all of your confidence, and sometimes even your overall attractiveness. Talking to a complete stranger, a person you cannot see, except their picture, is not fun, since you are mired with al lot of skepticism and obvious disbelief, until you meet. Speed dating beats this black and blue, allowing you to meet the other person, as you read the other partner’s mind and search for that dose of chemistry that might be there. Incase it is absent, there is no point of wondering what happened and crying over spilt milk; more singles await you.

You should try speed dating today if you are single and ready to meet more than one partner, as you widen your dating horizons.

Lisa’s Online Dating Journal

May 6, 2010 By LoveEngineer.com Leave a Comment

From time to time, some of our members write in to share their experiences with us regarding other people they have met on Hookmeup Online. With the consent of the mentioned person in this article, we are pleased to be able to provide some real life online dating adventures thanks to Lisa.

Lisa 28 years old – Rose Bay, NSW

“I would like to start by letting others know how much my life has changed since I began using dating websites , and this also reflects a big change in me as a person too. I was often puzzled as to why a few of my friends willingly sat in front of their PC for hours most days, talking to strangers online. So I guess I got curious and logged on myself, after all, I had been single for more than 8 months.”

“I was a quite taken back at the warm welcome I got when I wondered into the singles chat rooms , at almost an instant, I seemed to be the centre of attention, something I had not been used to for a long time. Little did I realize, men out numbered the women, at a guess, 3 guys to 1 girl? Over the coming weeks, every time I logged onto the Hookmeup chat rooms, it felt like the guys were waiting for me, of course they weren’t, but it was apparent that single girls were in exceptional demand. Not once did I ever initiate a conversation, and to be honest, this attention did wonders for my self-esteem and I started to realize what the attraction was to online dating. Some people I chatted to were self confessed online dating addicts.”

“I declined dating invitations for about 6 weeks, until I was confident enough with the process. I arranged to meet Tim on the 13th of April 2009 at an inner city cafe in Sydney’s inner city Darlinghurst. Tim was my first official real online date, we had chatted for weeks prior both online and on the phone, sometimes intimately. There was a build up, or perhaps anticipation leading up to our first date.”

“I was definitely attracted to him, and the feeling I got was that he shared the same sentiment. We left the cafe just before 7 PM and moved onto the Cargo Bar at Darling Harbour. We drank quite a lot before inevitably going to Tim’s flat at Newtown “just for a coffee” We sat in front of the TV until 5.15 AM neither person being able to muster the courage to make a move. By this time I was tired, until Tim said he was going to bed, and gestured I follow.”

“Realizing that this whole evening had been the result of the past several weeks of online fantasy, and nothing more, I decided to leave. That was the last time I saw or spoke to Tim. From then on, I set myself some rules. Just go on lots of dates, and forget about chatting to guys for weeks on end before a real date, that environment only creates a grey area between fantasy and reality.”

“I must have dated another 20 plus guys, and the whole online dating concept became a numbers game. With the amount of attention a girl gets online, I figured it was only a matter of time until my number came up.”

“I am now engaged to Robert, who I met on Hookmeup Online. We have not yet set an official date for the wedding, but the venue will be at Toronga Zoo, Bradley’s Head. Robert wasn’t one of the guys hitting on me whenever I logged on to the dating site, all that just become annoying and I became uncomfortable with being a sexual target, because that is all it was. So I undertook my own love hunt, and came across Roberts charming profile, and we fell madly in love. I can honestly say, I credit my entire happiness and exciting future to the internet, thanks Matt, and the team at Hookmeup Online”

Interested In Alternative Dating?

March 31, 2010 By LoveEngineer.com Leave a Comment

The great thing about dating in this day and age is the versatility and availability of methods to seek out your preferred type of person or activity. Dating can be confusing and frustrating, no matter what your situation. Here are some alternative dating ideas that may appeal to people who don’t want to go down the traditional route of seeking a mate.
Singles bars have been around for a long time, and though they may not appeal to everyone they are ideal because everyone has the same goal in mind.  You’re all in the same boat, and it may not be subtle but it certainly is straightforward.  
Speed dating gives you an even shorter time to make an impression. As an alternative dating technique, it can be a lot of fun. You sit opposite someone and each of you have a few minutes to tell the other about yourself. When the bell rings you move on to the next table, start at square one and repeat. If someone bores you to tears, your suffering is short-lived. At the end of the evening, you connect with those that tickled your fancy and go from there. If you didn’t meet anyone you clicked with, there’s no pressure and you can simply go home and attend the next session.  This is becoming a very popular technique for singles, and even those who may mock it and perhaps go ‘as a joke’ or on a dare end up enjoying themselves.

Dating agencies have become quite popular in recent times. Professional people who lead busy lives like to use them. It’s an alternative dating method that is not foolproof but it’s somewhat safer, as all clients have gone through a filtering system. Many agencies utilize video dating, whereby the client makes a brief video of themselves and has access to other client videos for perusal. You don’t have long to make an impression, so it’s best to just be yourself. You want to come across as a genuine person, not a phony.

Many communities have singles groups that embark on fun activities together, and this is is a great alternative dating method.  Events like biking, bowling, curling, movie nights, dancing and comedy clubs are organized by the singles group, and it allows an evenly-distributed group of participants to have a fun and casual night.  With emphasis put on the activity itself instead of making a romantic connection, it takes a lot of pressure off the singles and attractions occur more naturally in this type of setting.

Divorced and getting back in the dating game?How and when to play

March 29, 2010 By LoveEngineer.com Leave a Comment

Going through a divorce is not a life experience you wanted, but it happens. Now, after licking your wounds, you’re ready to get out there. For many, it’s not that easy. It could have been years, even decades since you last actively sought a date. So, where do you start?

Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating–one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar dating services with more than 60 offices nationwide—has paired hundreds of newly divorced clients during his quarter of a century in business. He’s also been divorced himself and happily remarried now for years.

“When you’re newly divorced, it seems everybody either has a friend they want to set you up with or words of advice or a little pep talk to get you back out there. The truth is, only you can know when you’re ready to start dating. That’s why it’s really important to take some time, think and get a sense of where you are emotionally first before you start dating—particularly if it’s been a very long time since you’ve dated,” said Falzone.

For starters, Falzone recommends:

*Going slow – perhaps it’s a cliché, but a divorce is a life-altering event and you do need some time to heal.
*Avoid the bar scene – Getting out with friends and co-workers as a way to re-enter the social scene but don’t do it as a way to meet potential dates.
*Get fit – Being ready to date again means feeling good about yourself. Starting an exercise program or going to a gym can begin that process of feeling good about you again.
*Be wary of dating at work – it’s natural for you to be close to people you work with, particularly if they’ve helped you through a tough time. Just be careful before entering into a relationship or even dating somebody at the office.
*Networking – While being set up might not be your idea of getting back into the dating game, if you’re looking it couldn’t hurt to let people in your social or professional network know that you are interested in meeting new people.
*The ex – It’s safe to say that dwelling on the ex will not do much good in dating new people. Just remember that you’re dating again for you, not to get back at him/her or to find somebody before he or she does.
*Take your time before introducing your dates to friends and, especially family – if you think your divorce is an adjustment for you, it’s also one for family, friends and your children. Wait before introducing your date to them, especially the children.
*No overnight guests – If you have children, wait a significant amount of time before having any overnight guests—at least until your date is something more serious and has had a chance to form some kind of a relationship with your kids.

“Getting back into the dating game doesn’t have to be scary. It can actually be an exciting time of your new life but you want to do it for the right reasons and be able to enjoy it,” said Falzone. “Take it slow, be open and upbeat, and you can find love again.”

“It’s great to be excited about somebody after a first date. What’s even better is to be even more excited after two. If’ your goal is for something lasting, there’s nothing wrong with taking it slow and making sure it really is, pun intended, the right one for you,” said Falzone.

Take the Dating Scene One Step at a Time, After Divorce

March 21, 2010 By LoveEngineer.com Leave a Comment

After divorce, the word “dating” scares a lot of people.

If you’ve been married a long time you probably have lost track of all the unwritten rules or even how to go about meeting new eligible people. Many people immediately take off for the clubs thinking that that is the place they are going to meet someone. You may meet someone there, but it depends on what you are looking for.

Assuming that the divorce has left you wondering what to do with the rest of your life, a trip to the club may be what the doctor ordered to see what is going on in the world. Don’t think, however, that this is where to find the woman or man of your dreams, as this rarely happens at the clubs.

Look around you. Who are your friends? Is there someone you think is attractive but are afraid to ask out on a date?

I have always found that an initial casual non-date is the best way to break the ice. “Hey I’m taking off for lunch would you like to join me?” That is a very simple way to break the ice with someone, in my opinion, and it gives you a chance to see if this person really is who you thought they were.

Their reaction, whether “Yes I would” or “No I can’t” will tell you something, and then you can take it from there. If the answer is yes, and you hit it off at lunch – then that simply no-strings-attached meal will have laid the groundwork for asking her/him out for a date in the near future.

It’s not rocket science. If you are like me, your friends always have someone they’d like you to meet.

I took the opportunity to meet everyone I could after my husband died. You never know when the right person might come along. It often happens when you least expect it and not when you’re out looking for that special person.

The important thing to do when you start dating again is not to immediately get yourself tied down. In the rare chance that you do meet the girl/guy of your dreams, then just go for it. That is a rare event, so take your time and explore your options and meet a number of people and enjoy the diversity of personalities, likes and dislikes.

I have been successful in maintaining a few good casual relationships and enjoy the company of these friends from time to time. I explore different vacation places, learn from their experiences and share opinions, desires and goals.

You’d be surprised at how many people have things they’d like to do, but never did because there was no one to do them with. By exchanging ideas and dreams and those things in your bucket list, you may find that you have a common desire to do something or travel somewhere.

There’s nothing better than visiting a place that you’ve never been and sharing it with someone who is also seeing it for the first time. I also enjoy seeing places I never knew I was interested in but my friend was, and I ended up being pleasantly surprised with the trip.

So the whole thing about dating again is to keep an open mind and explore the world, because it is probably all new to you now, especially after years of marriage.

As a attractive and young 50-year-old, she enjoyed the single life through most of her twenties and for the last ten years, since the death of her late husband.
