In today’s technological era, where a major chunk of a person’s life is spent in front of the computer for work or study related purposes, it should not come as a surprise if they start looking for romance online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though the prospect of finding love over the net may seem like a very interesting one, online romance in public context is still considered to be a risky liaison. First of all, to enter into an online relationship, an individual needs to find a suitable person with whom they can share a romantic relationship. There are innumerable websites, which cater to the purpose of online, dating and interestingly, these websites have thousands of members being added up to them every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the people who are seeking online relationships are constantly on a lookout to rekindle their old relationships and make some new ones as well. The process of forming a relationship, which basically starts off with exchanging email ids and then chat sessions over the net can gradually transform into a full-fledged relationship over the time, provided both the partners are genuinely interested in nurturing the relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important and foremost aspect of an online relationship is to know the other person in a better manner. It is possible that the other person may be lying about their personal or professional details when they chat with a prospective partner over the net for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving the relationship sometime so that it can take its own course is also a wise decision in matters concerning online romance. People who mutually agree to get into an online relationship without finding out whether the two are compatible or not, generally take a big risk which is likely to bounce back at them in an unfavorable manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online romance can be great way to take a break from the boring and mundane life of which individuals are otherwise living. The concept of online romance offers them the chance to interact with a few like-minded people and become romantically involved with them over the net, share sweet-nothings and basically enjoy themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another advantage of online romance is that in case, the person gets bored of the relationship or if the romance fizzles out of the relationship, there is no excess burden to continue with the relationship and moreover, breaking up over the net is far more easy over the net than in real life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, an individual simply needs to snap all communication with the other partner and may be, change the email id in some extreme cases and they can be free again, ready to indulge in another session of online romance with a new partner over the net, without any guilt or burden of a past relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;About dating stud:  Register now for you free chat line number for both men and women by clicking this link &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.localfreechatline.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Local Free Chat Line&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; or clicking this link &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.localfreechatline.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Local Chat Line&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;.

From traditional lace dresses to eco-chic favors, destination brides are customizing and personalizing everything for their dream wedding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Everything old is new again: This is especially true for classic lace sleeveless wedding dresses, which have been seen from the beaches of Jamaica to the villas in Mexico. The hot style is to have a modern lace over a very light beige underlay, making the lace subtle and fresh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Vintage save the date postcards: Brides are frenzied over anything vintage and save the date postcards are no exception. Vintage Hawaiian postcards announcing a Maui destination wedding are particularly popular, as are old world maps announcing the wedding location.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Creating a custom monogram: Many websites allow brides to create custom monograms. Destination couples are using these on everything from the invitations to the favors and cake toppers. Custom monogram labels and tags offer an easy way to personalize every wedding detail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Shipping your luggage in advance: Destination couples are choosing to ship their luggage ahead of time to their resort rather than taking it with them on the plane. Most resorts offer free luggage storage and some luxury resorts even offer unpacking services. With airlines increasing their baggage fees for overweight and additional checked bags, we predict this trend will only continue to grow. Make sure you think ahead when preparing for your destination wedding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Eco-friendly wedding favors: Many couples are deciding to forgo wedding favors in lieu of an environmentally-friendly option: carbon offsets. Couples offset everything from guest flights to rental cars. Websites such as carbonfund.org make it simple for couples to estimate and offset their guests' carbon footprint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Bringing in the local flavor: Savvy destination brides incorporate local elements into their wedding and reception. Some common ideas include indigenous flowers for the centerpieces (orchids in Hawaii), a band playing local music (steel drums in the Caribbean), or a dessert table with traditional sweets (flan in Mexico).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About Destination Wedding Link: http://www.destinationweddinglink.com was founded in 2008 to provide couples with the best tools and resources available to help them plan their dream destination wedding. Destination Wedding Link has deep expertise in wedding locations, such as the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii. It also offers destination planning tips, expert advice, and beach wedding favors. Destination Wedding Link is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-583638881712606304?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/583638881712606304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=583638881712606304' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/583638881712606304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/583638881712606304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2009/03/destination-wedding-link-publishes-its.html' title='Destination Wedding Link Publishes its Top Wedding Trends for 2009'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-5557142028749723401</id><published>2009-03-05T14:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-05T14:52:49.482-08:00</updated><title type='text'>14 Reasons You Are Better Off Avoiding Marriage: New, Free Singles Social Network For Those Who Don't Want Marriage</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.happyandsingletogether.com is a new social network community for singles who want some or most of the benefits of a traditional marriage or a marriage-like relationship, but not the drawbacks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) February 10, 2009 -- www.happyandsingletogether.com is a new social network community for singles who want some or most of the benefits of a traditional marriage or a marriage-like relationship, but not the drawbacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. There's no such thing as an all purpose relationship model (like marriage) that serves the needs of everyone. Founder and CEO of www.HappyandSingleTogether.com Stephen Petullo is a former matchmaker and the author of a book about soul mates. His new, free social network fills a need: "I've had the opportunity to observe the dynamics of countless love relationships. I've noticed that many people may be better off (and happier) not trying to conform to our society's currently accepted, yet unrealistic, model of marriage or a traditional marriage-like relationship."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Stephen's identical twin brother, Scott Petullo, supports Stephen's observations with his extensive metaphysical research and says, "Long-term comprehensive astrological and numerological charting supports the theory that there exists predetermined beginning and concluding times, time limits, for all love relationships. Therefore, though people try, marriage cannot "lock in" a rewarding relationship. Also, everyone has many soul mates and if a relationship feels like it's over, it very well might be."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Many marriage customs and rules are now outdated. Centuries ago, marriage was primarily about survival, money and property. Sex or love usually weren't even considered part of the equation, initially. Marriage was also a way for couples to avoid "living in sin," since sex, in many cultures, was seen as evil and wrong, even within a marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The high rates of cheating and many people simply aren't naturally monogamous. They may be able to conform temporarily, but to expect strict monogamy for a lifetime is about as realistic as expecting a nun to enjoy a swinger lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. It's not reasonable to expect one person to meet all of your needs and wants for the rest of your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Traditional marriage is no longer necessary. But is that fair to women and what about children? Kids need responsible parents, and a marriage certificate does not guarantee this. In fact, a couple trying unsuccessfully to fit into the traditional marriage mold can be harmful to a child. Instead, Stephen recommends his members create a child contract, which is an agreement two or more adults form that, unlike marriage, puts the child first. It also financially protects the main caretaker of the child, before having the child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. People change and grow (or regress) at different rates, and the concept of marriage and the expectations that accompany it don't take this into consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. The sky-high expectations and demands of marriage can complicate or even ruin a good relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. 50% of marriages end in divorce, and many couples who remain together do so not by choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Not everyone is meant to have an ideal, compatible, relationship with one person for their entire adult life as the modern marriage model dictates. Trying to go against the natural, unique dynamics of any given relationship, if it's not meant to mirror what marriage says it should be, will result in unhappiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Even if two people love each other now, it doesn't mean they still will in 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. You don't need a marriage license in order to experience a happy love life. If couple needs a marriage certificate to keep (or bind) them together, they may want to reconsider if they are truly compatible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Marriage today almost always involves more conditional love (i.e., "I will love you if…"), and less unconditional love (no expectations of anything in return), which is the highest form of love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. There is a better option. The new, free social networking site, http://www.happyandsingletogether.com, is a community for singles who want some or most of the benefits of a traditional marriage or a marriage-like relationship, but not the drawbacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.happyandsingletogether.com is a way for many different kinds of people to connect:&lt;br /&gt;• Singles who need a break from the more traditional, "all or nothing" approach to dating and relationships.&lt;br /&gt;• Traditional marriage or marriage-like relationship veterans who found it didn't work for them, and would like to try a new approach.&lt;br /&gt;• Singles who don't have time for or who are not ready for marriage.&lt;br /&gt;• Singles who aren't willing or able to get married.&lt;br /&gt;• Singles who may be open to marriage with the right person, but are in no rush.&lt;br /&gt;• Those who go with the flow and leave things up to fate instead of trying to plan a life-long relationship that may not be destined.&lt;br /&gt;• Those who would like to spoil someone or be spoiled, just like in a marriage-like relationship, but without the confines of marriage.&lt;br /&gt;• Widows or widowers who don't want to replace who they lost, but are interested in companionship with compatible people.&lt;br /&gt;• Those seeking strictly platonic like-minded friends or activity partners.&lt;br /&gt;• Those who would like to have or adopt a child with someone but would rather put the focus on the child rather than on the demands and expectations of a traditional, and potentially draining, relationship.&lt;br /&gt;• Those who are already parents and who would like to share the responsibilities and, or costs of raising children.&lt;br /&gt;• Adults of all ages, genders and orientations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy and Single Together gives people more options in love, friendships, and life, and encourages a new and more practical, empowering, and healthier approach to dating, love, friendships, and relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit http://www.happyandsingletogether.com today and sign up free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-5557142028749723401?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/5557142028749723401/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=5557142028749723401' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/5557142028749723401'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/5557142028749723401'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2009/03/14-reasons-you-are-better-off-avoiding.html' title='14 Reasons You Are Better Off Avoiding Marriage: New, Free Singles Social Network For Those Who Don&apos;t Want Marriage'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-3904575096105091698</id><published>2009-01-29T17:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-29T17:34:02.626-08:00</updated><title type='text'>#1 Black Dating Site, BlackPeopleMeet.com, and Steve Harvey Morning Show team up to launch Radio Date™ Segment</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) January 28, 2009 -- While most of the country suffers from record low temperatures, the radio airwaves are heating up with a new interactive dating game segment in Steve Harvey's top morning drive show.

Ladies have some content of their own from techniques in stripper seduction, to ways in attracting other men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although there is just one straight to the point home page featuring all the external links and content pertaining to dating online, a forum link is present to allow site visitors to get together and discuss online dating topics or even get together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dating the Site really covers all the fronts and corners of online dating concepts, services, and information.

During these hard economic times, Safer Dates acknowledges that building relationships is more important now than ever before, which is why they decided to make their memberships free to help keep your love life optimistic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) January 15, 2009 -- Doreen DeAguila, CEO of Safer Dates states, "It's rough out there and the media covers it intensely all hours of the day. We want Safer Dates to be a safe haven from all the negativity. Take a break from the news and log on to SaferDates.com, there are only friendly faces on our site."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A free Safer Dates membership is packed full of the following benefits to help you safely communicate with that special someone:&lt;br /&gt;*Instant messaging (IM)&lt;br /&gt;*Personal blogs&lt;br /&gt;*Forums&lt;br /&gt;*Four different chat rooms - The Lounge, Hollywood, Tech Talk and Current Events&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While you're becoming acquainted with the site, take note of the verification levels. The Level I and Level II Verifications are not included with the free membership but for a small annual fee they can be a great investment, not only strengthening your Safer Dates profile but they can also benefit you on other dating site profiles as well as social networking profiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Level I Verification costs just $19.95, and will screen you through national databases for felonies, misdemeanors, sex offender status, and marital status. For just $39.95, Level II Verification uses your fingerprints for a more in depth screening. Once you are verified, your Safer Dates member profile is automatically updated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Safer Dates also created a Verification Badge to help you advertise your verification level throughout the online community. The Safer Dates Verification Badge can be posted on any site that allows you to insert HTML code, such as MySpace, Facebook, personal blogs and possibly other dating websites. When clicked, the Safer Dates Verification Badge delivers that person to the Safer Dates site. If a potential date wants to confirm your verification, it won't cost them a dime; all they need to do is sign up for a free Safer Dates membership to get access to your profile to confirm your verification level. While they are on Safer Dates, you can request that they also become Level I or Level II verified before you agree to start communicating. If a site does not allow the Safer Dates Verification Badge to be posted then just add a reference of your verification level in your profile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have someone not willing to become verified then Safer Dates would like to introduce you to a tool called InvestiDATE. For just $19.95, this feature allows you to take an individual of your choice through the Level I Verification screening. All you need is their full name (first and last), birthday and current address. Safer Dates will email a pass or fail indication within 24 to 72 hours; specific criminal details cannot legally be disclosed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For less than the cost of a movie for two with popcorn and a soda, you can avoid a dating catastrophe and become Level I Verified and require your potential date to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it your New Year's resolution to keep your love life recession proof. Log on to SaferDates.com and check out this reliable resource. Also, don't miss their newly launched blog, SaferDates.com/blog, to stay up-to-date on dating news and tips, plus watch safety videos and more. Becoming cognizant of the various safety tools that Safer Dates has to offer is more important now than ever before to avoid becoming a victim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About Safer Dates: Safer Dates is the first Internet dating service to offer the choice of multilevel background screenings identified on member profiles.

It's not your typical pick-up line, but it is one that singles all over are starting to use. DuckDuckDate.com, an innovative dating website, is open for business and helping singles everywhere to "goose" each other! Originally conceived by a veteran online dater, DuckDuckDate was designed to make online dating less stressful and more FUN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A carefully crafted set of connection rules that expand on the fun Duck Duck Goose theme solve the problems of date-spamming and introduction anxiety. Date-spamming is when you send lots of generic introductions with the expectation of getting only 1 or 2 responses. Introduction anxiety results from spending a lot of time writing a personalized and thoughtful introductory message without knowing if the other person is even interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make an introduction on DuckDuckDate, you send a "Goose" request, a simple one-click action that shows your interest. The recipient has 24 hours to respond with a "Goose" (let's talk), "Duck" (maybe later), or "Block" (not going to happen). If your request is successful and you get a "Goose" response back, you can then send that personalized message knowing that the interest is mutual. To combat date spamming, members are limited to 3 open goose requests at a time. The DuckDuckDate team didn't stop there. They also developed a dating calendar system which allows members to post events such as a movie release or a concert, or to simply indicate their availability for a coffee or lunch date. Members can search these events by any combination of date, location and description. DuckDuckDate expects the dating calendar to be one of the most-used tools on the site because it helps members find real dates, real quick!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, DuckDuckDate brings a new pay-per-connection business model to online dating. Simply put, each member of a new goose connection (goose &amp;amp; accepted goose) pays a one-time fee of a dollar a date. This small investment encourages everyone to be sincere in making the connection. It also keeps ads off of the site and is a low-cost alternative to the stress-inducing monthly fees charged by many popular dating sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DuckDuckDate gives you your first 3 gooses free, so what are you waiting for? Go to www.DuckDuckDate.com and "goose your next date!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-1854567438197491062?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/1854567438197491062/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=1854567438197491062' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/1854567438197491062'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/1854567438197491062'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2009/01/duckduckdatecom-wants-you-to-goose-me.html' title='DuckDuckDate.com Wants You to &quot;Goose Me!&quot;'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-2938463758402646835</id><published>2008-12-19T01:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-19T01:04:29.232-08:00</updated><title type='text'>BadOnlineDates.com Introduces Virtual Dating and Bad Date TV to Free Online Dating Site</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;BadOnlineDates.com, a leader in free online dating, has developed two new features to the popular singles site. Omnidate Virtual Dating allows users go on a virtual date with avatars before meeting in person, and Bad Date TV uses humor to show bad dating behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 20, 2008 -- BadOnlineDates.com, an online social network developed by dating expert Jennifer Kelton to help stop streaks of bad dates, has announced the addition of two new site features in Omnidate Virtual Dating and Bad Date TV to improve the best social dating site on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Developed by author and dating expert Jennifer Kelton, Badonlinedates.com was created for those frustrated by the online dating scene. Time and time again Kelton -- who has frequently appeared on media outlets such as CNN, Forbes, and Playboy Radio after penning the dating book 'Don't Use My Sweater Like a Towel' -- heard horror stories from people with bad experiences from online dating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BadOnlineDates.com became her answer to the singles scene. This free online dating and social networking site connects people in a positive way through their bad dating experiences. Despite its inception being just last year, it has already boasts thousands of active members with the number growing every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kelton has now introduced the latest revolution on the site: Omnidate Virtual Dating and Bad Date TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Omnidate Virtual Dating is a new live virtual dating feature that will allow users to interact through avatars in real time. Users can go on a 'virtual date' online at places like a café, bar, beach resort. The avatars can even show emotions and move such as laughing, smiling, winking or holding hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Omnidate allows singles to meet in real time on the Internet in a relaxed environment, unlike the more traditional dating sites," Kelton said. "This makes it possible to live chat through the avatars about each other's recent posts, pictures, video uploads, and more. It's the closest thing online to meeting in real life over a beer or a yoga class. It's dating, but with a cyber twist."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The launch of Bad Date TV is designed to help, in a humorous way, by showing some common 'bad date behaviors' that singles may not even be aware they are doing. In webisodes featuring four fictional characters that all show bad dating behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Bad Date TV was a natural creative progression," says Kelton. "I realized after writing a dating book, going on too many dates to count, and being the CEO and founder of BadOnlineDates.com that the common denominator of all bad dates is that the person who is behaving badly is oblivious to their behavior."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information, visit &lt;a href="http://www.badonlinedates.com/"&gt;www.BadOnlineDates.com&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-2938463758402646835?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/2938463758402646835/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=2938463758402646835' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/2938463758402646835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/2938463758402646835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/12/badonlinedatescom-introduces-virtual.html' title='BadOnlineDates.com Introduces Virtual Dating and Bad Date TV to Free Online Dating Site'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-2645296116283197466</id><published>2008-12-19T01:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-19T01:01:44.773-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Free Dating Site FreeDating247's Newly Re-Branded Free Dating Community Offers Unique, Worldwide Matching Options</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;(PRWEB) November 12, 2008 -- One of the Internet's most comprehensive free dating sites FreeDating247 has enhanced its free dating community.

Similarly, members can browse through the FreeDating247 database by way of location searches. Not just for singles in the UK, FreeDating247 is an international site, with members in a variety of countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The intuitive website matches people based on much more than physical appearance.

Just when it appeared that internet dating had finally shed its long-held stigma and had actually moved itself into the mainstream, along came internet social networking. Although three of the top five internet dating sites are still showing some growth, comScore shows the social networking sites with both stronger growth and greater momentum than traditional internet dating sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an interview with NetworkWorld.com earlier this year, Mark Brooks, editor of a Web site called onlinepersonalswatch.com stated, "The numbers show that less people are coming to Internet dating sites. ComScore said that the number of people who came to Internet dating sites in December 2007 was down 10% over the prior year. But I don't think it's the end of online dating."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dating site membership statistics clearly show that singles have widely accepted the concept of seeking relationships via the internet and the practice is here to stay. However, the strong growth and growing popularity of online social communities also indicate a demand for more "dynamic" interactions than those currently offered by traditional "static" dating sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more than a decade, Singles Entertainment, Inc., a mid-Michigan based corporation, has provided live entertainment venues for singles living in the Midwestern U.S. to meet, mingle and socialize. Norm Viaches, President of Singles Entertainment, Inc., recognized an obvious gap between the needs and desires of singles seeking relationships online and the online options that were available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To fill that gap and to extend relationship and socializing opportunities for singles that attend the popular live events, Singles Entertainment, Inc. created SinglesNiteLife.com. SinglesNiteLife.com is an online singles community that offers all the features and functionality of the traditional dating sites, coupled with all the features and functionality of the popular community sites. Viaches states that, "Best of all, it lacks many of the shortcomings of the existing web offerings. This is the future of single's entertainment."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cornel Ivanescu, the CEO of Urban Verve, the web development team involved in creating the site, said, "As the traditional dating sites are loosing new customers at an ever accelerating pace, the 21st century singles dating scene offers new ways of interacting that equate to less pressure on either sex. The relaxed atmosphere of base social networking sites like Facebook or MySpace allows one to explore the multitudes and increases the odds of potentially finding the right someone, while getting to know their tastes and way of life (sometimes even minute by minute - Twitter) well ahead of even virtual contact. These basic concepts along with the forward looking vision of the Singles Entertainment Inc. CEO Norm Viaches, are the foundation that led to www.SinglesNiteLife.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The site encompasses not just the tradtional dating site functionality, but also emphasizes the social networking and community feel much in demand today, offering editable profiles, personal blogs, video chat, forums, picture galleries, video galleries, helpful articles, community polls and dating searches all in one place."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plans are already laid to quickly grow and improve the online community to include additional features like interactive games, exclusive community travel offerings and other exclusive live entertainment events for online community members in cities throughout the Midwestern United States.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-204041029680727826?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/204041029680727826/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=204041029680727826' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/204041029680727826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/204041029680727826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/12/final-days-for-traditional-online.html' title='Final Days for Traditional Online Dating?'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-7881656911918938646</id><published>2008-12-18T09:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-18T09:45:28.791-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tantra for Erotic Empowerment by Mark A.

(PRWEB) September 25, 2008 -- TeeBeeDee, a social network for adults 40+ who believe life is still to be determined, offers insights and advice directly from TeeBeeDee members. TeeBeeDee is a leading destination for the boomer generation, typically described as adults between 44-64 years old. Boomers represent over 77 million people in the U.S. and are one of the fastest growing segments online. Boomers are embracing social networks like TeeBeeDee in greater numbers because they can meet new friends and learn from people with similar life experiences. At TeeBeeDee, boomers come together to share and discuss their passions across a wide variety of topics such as pets, cooking, travel, family, and genealogy. It is also the place where boomers ask questions and receive advice on careers, finance, family, health, relationships, sex over 40, friendships, and much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On TeeBeeDee, our community has told us that one of the most common issues boomers face is how to keep a long-term relationship fresh and exciting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TeeBeeDee Boomer Experience Bank: Five Tips for Rekindling Romance:&lt;br /&gt;If you've been married or in a relationship for some time, the thrill and excitement might have worn off. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Try these TeeBeeDee member tips for keeping the fires burning:&lt;br /&gt;• Schedule Time for Intimacy: Scheduling time for intimate conversation or sex may sound unromantic, but it's the best way to ensure your relationship makes it through the busy schedules many of us have. From going out on a special date night, or just to planning time at home to focus on your loved one, turn off the TV and talk!&lt;br /&gt;• Be Flexible: It's a good idea to schedule time together, perhaps even a 6 month plan, but it's also important to be flexible. If you can't make it to your romantic date night this week, don't give up. Substitute with a simple plan at home the next day. Light a candle, share a glass of wine, and make time to talk.&lt;br /&gt;• Surprise Them with Something New: Go the extra mile to try something new -- especially in the bedroom. Instead of just going out to dinner or a movie, get tickets to see your partner's favorite sports team or favorite opera. Try the new jazz club in town, or visit a part of the city you don't usually frequent. Take a hike, go wine tasting, or to a new museum.&lt;br /&gt;• Talk, Talk, Talk: Blackberries and cell phones rarely make for great dates. This is your time to reconnect with the most important person in your life. Rather than glance at your email, pay attention to your partner.&lt;br /&gt;• Dress to Impress: Remember how excited you were on your very first date? It's likely that you spent serious time putting yourself together and it worked! Take a little extra time, make an effort, and rekindle memories of your first date.&lt;br /&gt;• Touch and Have Fun: Shared laughter is a great way to reconnect.

His new book "Spice Up Your Marriage: In Search of Fun, Commitment and Passion", just released on Amazon.com, addresses the issues and challenges facing all married couples looking to put fun back on the agenda. The book offers useful, and at times entertaining, suggestions to improve any relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Even physically exhausted and emotionally drained couples have the right, and the ability, to have satisfying sexual experiences that enhance their relationship. Joyful, passionate sex doesn't just belong to a certain group of individuals," Simes says. "There is a whole world out there trying to maintain intimacy while coping with the pressures of modern life."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Spice Up Your Marriage" aims to support and inspire couples who want to create a healthy relationship that is not only committed and supportive, but vibrant, passionate and fun. The book looks at tests couples may face, and those that need to be addressed in order for a relationship to reach the point where fun and adventure can be experienced. Simes also discusses personal challenges, as well as spicy games readers can play. However, the book stops at the bedroom door. There is no sexually explicit advice or information in the book, so it can be left around the house without fear of children picking it up and asking awkward questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among other topics, "Spice Up Your Marriage" discusses toxic arguments, passion, monogamy and how to initiate playtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Spice Up Your Marriage" is the result of Simes' determination to make his own marriage work. "After ten years of marriage, I had to admit that I wasn't very good at it, and the cracks were starting to show. A moment of crisis forced me to choose: leave or stay? I soon realized that just staying was not enough. Our marriage needed to be interesting, creative, loving, supportive and fun, or else we would stumble from crisis to crisis."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We can all aspire to improve our relationships," Simes says. "If we want a marriage that really hums, we need to be open to the idea that marriage can be great, fantastic and wonderful, and we need to take ownership of the possibility that we can be passionate and skillful even if we aren't young, fit or beautiful."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Spice Up Your Marriage: In Search of Fun, Commitment and Passion", by Stephen Simes, is now available at &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/(http://www.amazon.com/Spice-your-Marriage-commitment-passion/dp/0473138271/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1220176829&amp;amp;sr=1-2"&gt;Amazon.com. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For further information and media inquiries, contact: Stephen Simes, SUYMpress @ xtra.co.nz, 64-4-387-3099&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-6759151451357530346?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/6759151451357530346/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=6759151451357530346' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/6759151451357530346'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/6759151451357530346'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/09/new-book-spice-up-your-marriage-helps.html' title='New Book &quot;Spice Up Your Marriage&quot; Helps Couples Re-energise Their Relationships'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-611629540503633908</id><published>2008-09-18T11:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-18T11:45:00.921-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Safer Dates Has Created its Own Match by Joining Internet Dating with Social Networking</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Safer Dates continues it's commitment to provide a safer online dating experience by combining their online dating services with social networking services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) September 10, 2008 -- Members can safely and easily interact with potential dates by using the following new features until they feel comfortable enough to take it offline:&lt;br /&gt;* Instant Messaging (IM)&lt;br /&gt;* Blogs&lt;br /&gt;* Forums&lt;br /&gt;* Four different Chat Rooms - The Lounge, Hollywood, Tech Talk and Current Events&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;''We are bringing the world of Internet Dating to the next level,'' states Doreen DeAguila, CEO of Safer Dates, ''This evolution continues to build on our commitment to empower our members to communicate with potential dates through the safest way possible.

Armonía42, a well-known company for astrological matchmaking services, recognises time and success as important issues and shares their top 5 tips for dating the right person:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Find out your partners birthdate: In astrology, thousands of years of research has identified that your birthdate provides an excellent guide to who you are most compatible with. Not only is this a useful guide, but a great talking point for developing your relationship. "For example, depending on your exact date, a sign will be revealed that after further extrapolation may reveal your matching elementally qualities (i.e air, earth, fire and water signs) or other key signs."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Get your partners birth time: With the stars in constant movement, various patterns are formed over time, and your birth time, when used in conjunction with a birth date, can provide a more accurate reading of your star sign and, therefore, your astrological compatibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Know your partners birthplace: Your birthplace provides a significant astrological clue that can provide a good indication of future success with a partner. In fact years of research has shown, that birthplaces can provide excellent confirming indicator when used in conjunction with a birth date and time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Find out your Western zodiac signs: Knowing your Western zodiac sign, which relates to your solar year, will also give you further evidence of finding your perfect partner in the future. Again, this may range from elemental qualities (air, wind, fire) to more advanced signs like Cardinal properties your sign possesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Understand your Chinese astrological signs: Knowing your Chinese astrological animal sign, which is determined by the lunar year, can act as excellent supporting knowledge for confirming indications from previous readings. Since this is different from our 'regular' calendar, your birthdate could fall under two different signs of the solar year. You can find out more about Chinese astrology here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Understand this isn't an exhausted list of tips, but it should provide the hectic person with a good sense of their astrological compatibility with a future person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;About Armonia42: Nowadays a lot of people need help in their continued search for love, and that is where we here at Armonía42 come in with astrology matchmaking.

Hidden inside My Teddy Bare is a satin pouch and inside that pouch is the customer's choice of lingerie, pajama sets, gifts for men and more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wall, NJ (PRWEB) August 21, 2008 -- TBE Enterprises is proud to announce a new unique romantic gift idea, "My Teddy Bare" and the e-commerce website, http://www.myteddybare.com/.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TBE Enterprises / My Teddy Bare was founded on June 1, 2007 by Benjamin Danzi, Frank Danzi, Anthony Danzi and Jason Danzi and is currently based in Wall New Jersey. The idea behind My Teddy Bare was to offer a unique gift idea for both men and women for special occasions such as holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and more. It's My Teddy Bare's wink, seductive smile, formal wear and zipper which set him apart from your everyday teddy bear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The founders of My Teddy Bare realized that men, for the most part, have always been apprehensive about buying their wife, fiancé, or girlfriend lingerie as a gift. If they did take the initiative to purchase lingerie, the only way to give it to their significant other was in a gift box or a decorative gift bag. The same goes for women purchasing something rather risqué for the man in her life. My Teddy Bare seeks to solve this dilemma and awkward shopping experience, by combing lingerie and other romantic gifts with a timeless classic... a teddy bear. It is also a unique idea for a bride-to-be or for a bachelorette party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A potential customer who visits &lt;a href="http://www.myteddybare.com/"&gt;www.myteddybare.com&lt;/a&gt; selects from one of the available teddy bears: lingerie, pajama, for him, bachelorette or the stuff your own My Teddy Bare. After the appropriate selection is made the customer is then presented with a list of choices to have hidden inside My Teddy Bare's secret pouch. The pouch is then placed inside My Teddy Bear by way of the zipper located on his back and shipped off to the customer in a one of a kind gift box. Inside the gift box, in addition to My Teddy Bare, is a "Bear Freshener", logo key chain, personalized gift card and "My Teddy Bare Member Card" for discounts on any future purchases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TBE Enterprises has also teamed up with Kama Sutra® and Spa Finder® so that any potential customer can make a My Teddy Bare purchase even more exciting by adding one of those respective products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A recent addition to the website is the "MTB Boutique" which allows consumers to purchase lingerie, gifts for men and other exciting romantic gifts without having to purchase a My Teddy Bare. The "MTB Boutique" is constantly expanding and we are always looking to bring new and fresh romantic products to our customers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;For additional information, check out the website at:  &lt;a href="http://www.myteddybare.com/"&gt;www.myteddybare.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-8936416245961135637?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/8936416245961135637/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=8936416245961135637' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/8936416245961135637'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/8936416245961135637'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-teddy-bare-stuffed-with-more-than.html' title='My Teddy Bare - &quot;Stuffed with More than Just Love!&quot; - A New Unique Romantic Gift Idea for Her, Him and Couples'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-8501516288912706866</id><published>2008-07-18T10:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-18T10:10:33.481-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Your Online Dating Coach Premiers This Week</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mill Valley, CA (PREWEB) July 18, 2008 -- Renown dating and relationship coach Chaszey Sandhriel premiers Your Online Dating Coach™.

Two weeks after the blinds were fitted, Mr Schofield regrettably seperated from his wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It was coming anyway", Mr Schofield told us, "but my design choice for the blinds was pretty much the nail in the coffin.

IsACatch.com comes out of private beta today and is currently available for free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 2, 2008 -- Modernizing online dating, IsACatch.com introduces a new way to find love on the Internet. By letting people play matchmaker for their eligible friends, IsACatch.com enables the social component of dating, and returns some of the fun that has long been missing from traditional online dating sites. IsACatch.com comes out of private beta today and is currently available for free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We all have awesome single, eligible friends who still haven't found 'the one,' despite hitting the clubs and paying lots of money to traditional online sites like Match and eHarmony," said Lijen Tan, co-founder of IsACatch. "Normally, we try to set them up with other friends in our network... with IsACatch.com, we're bringing that same idea to the Web."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IsACatch.com differs from traditional online dating in two distinct ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Friends, or "Campaign Contributors," provide the content, pictures, and details to describe the single catch. Naturally, the singleton has approval over the final profile or "Campaign for Love."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The Campaign Contributors search and recommend potential dates to their eligible friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information about how IsACatch.com works, check out the video posted at IsACatch.com (http://www.isacatch.com).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About IsACatch.com: IsACatch.com was conceived by a group of friends who wanted to create a dating site for their friend, Keyvan. But they decided to take it one step further. The concept behind it was simple and made sense to all of them: they had a lot of single friends who were fed up with poor results from Match and eHarmony or who could take advantage of online dating but weren't going to muster up the courage to do it themselves. They wanted to create a new way to find dates so they created a site where they'd leverage the power of the people who know them best - their friends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-8677277277710620216?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/8677277277710620216/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=8677277277710620216' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/8677277277710620216'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/8677277277710620216'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/07/isacatchcom-introduces-online-dating-20.html' title='IsACatch.com Introduces Online Dating 2.0 - Start Up Makes Online Dating Social'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-9115938245940227678</id><published>2008-06-26T10:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-26T10:04:30.054-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Revolutionary Dating Service Area Expands to Las Vegas</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;After years of operating exclusively in New York, Wingwomen is excited to bring their nationally recognized service to Las Vegas. Wingwomen began with basic concept that women can help men meet women and that concept proved to be true as Wingwomen approaches their 1,000th client.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(PRWEB) June 26, 2008 -- After years of operating exclusively in New York, Wingwomen is excited to bring their nationally recognized service to Las Vegas. Wingwomen began with basic concept that women can help men meet women and that concept proved to be true as Wingwomen approaches their 1,000th client.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Las Vegas branch of Wingwomen will be a little different than the New York branch as it will be tailoring its menu to cater to Las Vegas and its temptations. It will still offer the "Standard" Package which includes 1 Wingwoman/1 Client at an upscale and fashionable hotel bar or lounge, but "Sin City" calls for a little something extra and that's where the "Rockstar" package comes in. Wingwomen will handle all of the client(s) needs by setting them up with limousine transportation, VIP table service and a minimum of 2 Wingwomen for 4 hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wingwomen was founded by Shane Forbes after seeing the concept work brilliantly in his own life. "I would go out with my girl friends and things would just happen. Girls would approach me, I would feel more comfortable approaching them, or my girl friends would introduce me to girls while hanging out at a bar.", says Forbes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forbes realized how many guys out there didn't have the same luxury he did and how much they could benefit from having girl friends like his. In December 2003, Forbes decided to provide this service to the men of New York by launching Wingwomen.com. Within weeks of its conception, Forbes realized how big an idea he had stumbled upon. Since then Wingwomen has gone on to garner worldwide media recognition and made the term "Wingwoman" part of every man's vocabulary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wingwomen has been featured on Good Morning America, The Montel Williams Show, Fox News Live, CNBC, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, NY1, The New York Times, Stuff Magazine, Playboy, Men's Fitness, and Men's Health.

As an active member of Online Booty Call and numerous dating services, Brown knows a great deal about the Do's and Don'ts of online dating. This experience has made him an authority on dating, and his advice will improve your chances of meeting singles online. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SAN DIEGO (Business Wire EON) June 23, 2008 -- "Don't promise marriage just to get a date," warns Brown, adding, "women love passion, but they don't want you quoting romance novels in your first conversation. A simple compliment will suffice for starters."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OBC embraces this casual mentality, epitomized by the contemporary urban lifestyle of 18-24 year olds who are just getting their feet wet in the world of 'online' dating. It's a lighthearted approach that separates Online Booty Call from matchmaking sites. By keeping it casual, OBC facilitates dating between people interested in making an initial connection without the pressure of planning for eternity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are Moses Brown's Top 10 Do's and Don'ts of online dating:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. DO keep it simple and casual on the first date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. DON'T act too interested; it makes you look desperate and gives away the upper hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. DO compliment her on her appearance. Subtle flattery with a humorous twist will ease you into her good graces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. DON'T hesitate to ask her out. Chances are if you're not asking her out, someone else is, so be aggressive and initiate the conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. DO act confident. Walk into the room like you own the place; confidence is a turn-on. If she's feeling your vibes she'll take the cues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. DON'T be cocky. Cockiness is corny and makes you look like a jerk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. DO offer to pay for the date, guys. Chivalry is not dead. Plus, offering to pay for the date conveys financial stability and good manners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. DO use protection. Always come properly equipped if you're making a move for the bedroom, or even if you're not. Who knows, you could get lucky!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. DON'T look for dates that are out of your league. If you're 50, overweight, and make 25K a year, chances are you won't land a 23 year-old supermodel. Be realistic, if it seems like it's too good to be true then it probably is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. DO play the game. Too many people write in their profiles that they're not into playing games. The reality is everyone does it, especially online, so stay sharp player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online dating is a great way to meet new people and have some fun. It takes common sense and effort to make it work, but with Moses Brown's advice, you'll be on your way to meeting exciting singles online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About Online Booty Call: OnlineBootyCall.com is an online dating community for singles who enjoy being single. The site's lighthearted approach to dating allows its members to combine all the benefits of dating with the excitement of maintaining the single life.

Where does this information go? Free free online dating sites are paving the road to giving members the option of deleting their accounts - on demand. Something all social networking sites should make available.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toronto, ON (PRWEB) June 18, 2008 -- No, free online dating hasn't changed much in the past 3 years but if the two main free dating sites in Canada can do it, the question is why isn't every other free dating site doing it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But do what you ask. Well the answer is giving the user the opportunities to delete their free &lt;a href="http://www.freedateclub.com/"&gt;dating site&lt;/a&gt; accounts -- without question and as quick as they signed up -- maybe even quicker than that. Because we all know that especially with a dating site, our private information is what makes us and breaks us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, not only does plentyoffish.com give the member a chance to delete their account completely, but so does the hit free dating site freedateclub.com. After being in the market for just about two years, the fast growing free online dating site in Canada and America is now offering it's free dating site &lt;a href="http://www.freedateclub.com/?L=search.users&amp;amp;query=&amp;amp;gender=woman"&gt;members&lt;/a&gt; the chance to delete their profiles only few clicks away from their user settings. So if by chance the member has found someone on the free dating site or if they would just like to get off the site, trying offline dating or simply try any other avenue, now they can. Easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About FreeDateClub.com: Established as a premier free online dating destination for singles in Canada and the United States (U.S.A.), FreeDateClub.com is a free dating site catering to all the major metropolitan areas in those two countries and growing in popularity in Europe, the UK and Australia.

Thankfully, with the recognition that physical disabilities don't change the emotional need for love and companionship, that's no longer true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, a new online dating service, DisabledCupid.com (http://www.disabledcupid.com), is dedicated to helping its members meet that need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Founder Andrea Carless developed the site specifically to help disabled men and women find love and romance while giving them a chance to have plenty of fun at the same time. "Making it easier for them to connect with other disabled singles who are seeking friendship, dating and marriage is really important," Carless said. "That's why I made it my goal to provide a safe Internet dating service for individuals looking for romantic partners who see beyond the wheelchair or the prosthesis to the real person."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The site is already bringing members together romantically. One couple who met online recently is Ben and Hajnal. "After few days we both realised we were born for each other," Hajnal said. "We spent a wonderful week together in Budapest. We both fell in love before the first meeting, and it's getting stronger."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DisabledCupid.com uses the latest high-tech search tools to allow its members to connect with one another in many ways. Video, photo and voice options are available to make online communication more enjoyable. Members can communicate with one another using instant messaging, mailboxes, mobile messaging and even reduced-rate telephone services. The site lets members find their ideal romantic match based on a wide range of criteria from personal interests to Zodiac signs to sexual energy. Members build their personal profiles by selecting options in dozens of categories with hundreds of different preferences to choose from. A special section even provides etiquette and safety tips for members who may be new to the dating scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Safety and privacy are important elements of the DisabledCupid.com site, too. While "HotLists" let members connect quickly with their friends, special user names allow them to remain anonymous even while communicating with other members, and the "BlockList" feature gives them complete control over who can contact them or see their profiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-1756769490836322185?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/1756769490836322185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=1756769490836322185' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/1756769490836322185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/1756769490836322185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/06/disabled-singles-enjoy-new-internet.html' title='Disabled Singles Enjoy New Internet Dating Service Designed Just For Them'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-1681085187923984462</id><published>2008-06-23T11:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-23T11:33:27.083-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New Internet Dating Service Provides Safe, Serious Connections for Single Parents</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Online dating for single parents worldwide is now easy, safe and fun thanks to a new site specifically designed for their needs.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cossington, Somerset, UK (PRWEB) June 23, 2008 -- Online dating services have been exploding in popularity all over the world, but until now, safe and rewarding internet options for serious single adults who also happen to be single parents have been very limited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to SingleMummy.com (http://www.singlemummy.com), a worldwide site based in the United Kingdom, that's all changing. SingleMummy.com uses the latest high-tech search tools to allow single parents to find romance while keeping the focus on their first priority--their children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Founder Andrea Carless first learned about the need for such a site in 2004, when she found herself newly single with two children to raise. "I joined a couple of online dating sites to meet that special someone, but those sites were very general, so I started my own," Carless said. "I wanted to create a site dedicated to single parents seeking love and romance. My goal was to give my members lots of options to meet other single parents who can relate to their experiences and provide parents whose children are the most important part of their lives with a high quality dating service."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SingleMummy.com offers members a wide range of ways to find their ideal match, including using video, photos and voice along with matching based on personal interests, Zodiac signs and even sexual energy. Members get to build their profile in dozens of categories, with hundreds of different options to choose from. They also can choose among many different ways of communicating with their online friends, including instant messaging, mobile messaging, mailboxes and inexpensive telephone service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the special needs and interests of single parents, Carless made it a point to build into the website and its services. SingleMummy.com members can maintain anonymity even as they communicate with others, and they can block other members and maintain control over who sees their profiles. There's even a section devoted to psychological advice for members who have faced family, relationship, personality or sexuality crises. A strong emphasis on children is evident as well. One section in the area where members list their personal information and preferences is devoted entirely to general information about their children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of which is making SingleMummy.com successful in the crowded internet dating. Carless noted that just recently, two members got married and another couple that met on the site are now engaged. "We're extremely proud of our successes for single parents," Carless said. "It's a wonderful way for singles with children to find soul mates with the same priorities."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-1681085187923984462?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/1681085187923984462/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=1681085187923984462' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/1681085187923984462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/1681085187923984462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/06/new-internet-dating-service-provides.html' title='New Internet Dating Service Provides Safe, Serious Connections for Single Parents'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-6078956951059295889</id><published>2008-06-17T13:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T14:20:06.517-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Is Your Spouse Cheating Online</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I recently received this press release about a new book that is out on infidelity and internet dating. Which brought the question to my mind... if you're spouse is chatting with someone online frequently is that "infidelity"?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;According to the American Heritage dictionary, infidelity is defined as, "An act of sexual unfaithfulness." The promotional website for the eBook that was advertised stated that they could tell me even where I could get DNA test kits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Excuse me?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Since when do they make DNA test kits for computers? All I'm aware of is some kind of virus that you can get from someone online, but I have yet to see a physician prescribed pencillin for a computerly transmitted disease.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Anyway, my point is.... chatting on the computer I do not think is necessarily a form of infidelity. &lt;strong&gt;Although&lt;/strong&gt;, if that relationship is taken from the computer into reality; then, you might need the DNA testing and pencillin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'm gonna let you in on the secret to prevent this, and you don't even have to pay me $39.00 for it! &lt;strong&gt;Talk to your spouse...&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Wow! What a concept. If they are out there looking for something online, then obviously their needs aren't being met at home. Not saying that it's all your fault, and not all the spouses fault... Doesn't matter who is to blame, but it does matter who takes actions to fix the problem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I'm sure it's a great book, I just got a kick out of a few key phrases. If you're interested in spending $39.00 on, "Infidelity Unwrapped" then check out the website... &lt;a href="http://www.infidelityunwrapped.com/"&gt;http://www.infidelityunwrapped.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-6078956951059295889?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/6078956951059295889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=6078956951059295889' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/6078956951059295889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/6078956951059295889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/06/is-your-spouse-cheating-online.html' title='Is Your Spouse Cheating Online'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-4202667767589047954</id><published>2008-05-16T09:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-16T09:13:28.310-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fear of Rejection:  How To Overcome Rejection From Women</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It is never easy to get pass the feeling of rejection, especially if you are a guy and you are dismissed by a girl that you have been eyeing on. You would find this much of a concern unless you are prepared to limit your number of female friends to only a minute crowd. If you think the fear of rejection is stopping you from making enough female friends, then learn how to get over it now. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Getting rejected is just part and parcel of life. Not everyone makes it through on the first round, but what is more important that you never quit trying. It is not the end of the world if you get rejected. If you have yet to give it a go, then be quick and act now. Nothing feels worst than not giving it a try and regretting it later on in life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;You will definitely have to stop worrying about your future relationships even before it started. If you worry for no cause, then you are more likely to be even more cautious. This is the reason why some people just halt the thought of getting into a relationship. You won’t know until you give it a go. The main reason why most men get it going with girls easily is because they dare to make the first move, and this just increases their appeal factor. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Hence, if you are the kind of guy that shun every opportunity away, then you are most likely to lose out in the dating scene. There is no need to feel miserable or embarrassed or fearful of being rejected. The idea of rejection has been on for centuries so it is common amongst people. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So why fear rejection? It happens to everyone, and you will definitely be no exception. When was the last time you seen someone rejected by a girl? Almost everyone loves making friends and acquaintances to widen their social network, so come to think of it; the percentage of you getting rejection is rather small. Quit fretting and stop worrying! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Go ahead and walk up to that girl and go say Hi the next time you see her. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A person who has loads of self-confidence would definitely be able to handle setbacks wells and this would include rejection. You might think that by chatting up with a stranger of opposite gender, you are taking a huge emotional risk. But if you have self-confidence, you will definitely have the self-esteem to not take things to heart and simply move on with another person. It simply makes sense that no matter how introverted the person is, she would definitely not chase you away. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Rejection is not fatal, but if you fear it, it will just be another wall that blocks you from any chances of getting into a relationship. Get off the thoughts of rejections and just be yourself. By overcoming this, your positive attitude will continue to build up and soon, you will find yourself having successful relationships with girls. It will definitely make you a better person.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Wirtten by Michael Dat who specializes in dating techniques for men.

Is there any rhyme or reason behind what people think and feel is romantic and qualifies as true romance? Probably not. It always comes down to personal preferences and individual personalities. Romance in a relationship can infuse a bit of that early-relationship excitement and keep things from becoming too “comfortable”. The principals of romance can also be applied to online dating. We have compiled some fun ideas for showing your online match that you care! Just customize our ideas and make them your own – we guarantee that they will be appreciated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Romance blossoms on the Internet, but there is still public concern about the safety of online dating. There is now broad public awareness of the online dating world, and the Internet users who are actively seeking dates have found a variety of ways to pursue their romantic interests online. The Pew Internet Project just released its first report on what role the Internet plays in American romance, “Online Dating.” Some of the results might be eye-opening for those not already involved in looking for love in cyberspace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;To search for love in cyberspace, first find a potential love interest online. Then, use the chat sessions and e-mail to develop the new friendship. Think about any online relationship, at first, as an online friendship. It is better to know the person first, as many people lie about themselves. So, it is better to give a romantic orientation to your relationship only after you meet and decide to continue the relationship. If the relationship doesn't work out romantically, you still have a friend.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Some believe that romance should just come naturally, and if it doesn’t, or if closeness starts to subside, it means that something is wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth. Keeping romance alive requires time, attention and the willingness to start fresh over and over, to learn how to constantly reconnect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;After the initial excitement of being in a relationship is over, many allow things to fall into a routine and begin taking one another for granted. They assume they know what their partner is feeling, that it doesn’t matter if they come late for a date, don’t look so good, or choose a night out with friends too often. It’s important to be aware of what we are doing to either keep the closeness going, or subtly push it out the door. Unless both parties feel valued by one another, the romance will die down. In order to truly enjoy one another, appreciate your time together. Rather than thinking of what comes next, focus upon each moment and taste it to the fullest. Being fully present and experiencing the moment thoroughly is the road to the greatest joy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Spend some time writing down and expressing the ways in which you wish to re-commit to your partner, and why. By doing this on an on- going basis, you will not only keep the love and relationship fresh, but keep yourself aware of why you are with the person. As you do this not only will the romance re-kindle, but the relationship will be solidly planted on unshkeable ground.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can one define romance?

My problem is...  I have found that I don't enjoy him as much "in reality" as I do online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This occurs more often than you would think.  You have two choices...  either tell this person that the chemistry just isn't there, or you can continue to see this person in reality in hopes that the chemistry will occur.  When I first saw my husband, my first thought was, "what have I got into"...  he wasn't exactly Mr. Atlantis.  But, after spending a few days together, I didn't even recognize his awkwardness.  If the chemistry doesn't occur within the first month of reality meetings, I'd say that it's not going to happen and it's time to move on.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-8258138381913954361?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/8258138381913954361/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=8258138381913954361' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/8258138381913954361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/8258138381913954361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/05/reality-differences.html' title='Reality Differences!!'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-1485122991741410348</id><published>2008-03-21T09:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-21T09:50:38.528-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Five Deadly Sins Of A Relationship</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The list of things that can happen to harm one's relationship is staggering, but probably the most unbelievable thing about it is that nearly everything that regularly causes couples to break up is, simply put, STUPID.  At least 95% of relationship issues are totally avoidable with a little common sense, loyalty, and integrity, and you can see that by looking at the following 5 most common culprits for relationship death.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Cheating on your partner.  Absolutely inexcusable, and both guys and girls do it.  I can't even tell you how many times my friends' and family's hearts have been utterly ripped from their chests because the people they love cheated on them.  Being unfaithful shatters trust and causes the person being cheated on to doubt his or herself.  If you love your partner, you love him or her enough not to cheat.  If you can't control your sex drive enough to stay faithful to the love of your life, then you're nothing more than a subhuman animal and you deserve to be alone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Being too controlling.  Sure it's funny on TV when a professional comedian plays a hapless, good-natured guy with an evil witch of a wife who calls him every fifteen minutes to demand to know where he is...but in the real world that's not funny, it's exhausting.  Don't think I'm just talking about women being too demanding either...guys do it too, and it's not a joke, it's not cute, and it's not justified.  It's emotional abuse is what it is, and a lack of trust that's going to end up with you being quite lonely.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Lack of regard for your partner's feelings, or emotional support.  I know, it's such a cliched expression that I feel silly just using it, but not giving your partner the emotional support he or she needs is a painful and self-esteem damaging thing.  When the one you love has a difficult time seeing how much you DO love him or her, it hurts!  Most of this can be helped just by listening to your partner...really listening, and responding like a human person rather than a parrot.  A little support from the one who loves you isn't too much to ask, so don't be stingy in giving it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Letting fights get out of their role.  Whenever two people are stuck together for extended periods of time, even if those people love each other desperately and passionately, there are going to be clashes where one person feels one way and the other a different way...that's life, that's relationships.  It can even be healthy to clear the air sometimes, but when you let a fight expand outside the boundary of being helpful, it starts really harming your relationship.  Don't just shrug off your partner's concerns, but don't take fights too seriously either.  Oh, and a tip for making fights a little less impactful: give in every now and again.  ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Boredom and lack of spontanaeity.  I feel physical pain every time I hear about a happy couple breaking up because the relationship became stale and boring.  There is so very little reason why your time with the one you love should end up becoming more of a day-to-day routine than a constant joy.  Do what's needed to make things stay interesting and fun!  You're two great people in love, why shouldn't every day together be a blessing?  Letting a relationship reach its expiration date should be a crime, because it's just such a tragic waste...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well now you've been versed in the basic Five Deadly Relationship Sins.  Any one of these can really cripple your relationship, and even the person you share it with...so in the name of anything you consider holy, avoid hurting the one you love by keeping these things from ever having a chance to destroy your relationship.  With a little bit of trust, care, and decency, your biggest threats can be absolutely nothing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So before you do something that'll jeopardize your relationship, stop and think.  Is it really worth it to hurt your partner and become alone?  Have a brain, and have a heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Written by Erik J. Michaels.

Maybe it is a trust issue or maybe they are just scared to take the relationship from the online world to the real world for some other reason that you may not understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we have to realize is that some people are such introverts that they just don't want to have contact with the "outside" world.  They want their online friends and they are happy with that.  Some people do not like to be around other people; therefore, online relationships are great for having a social life without having to be around others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could be that they are really just looking for a friendship instead of a relationship.  If they meet you "in reality" then that will take the friendship into a new dimension, which they are scared of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should you talk them into it?  No...  would not work in the long run.  The possibility of getting them out of their shell is about nil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the online friendship for what it is and start looking for a true online relationship if that is what you are really looking for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be patient...  true love will find a way!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-5869501808626692528?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/5869501808626692528/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=5869501808626692528' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/5869501808626692528'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/5869501808626692528'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/03/im-not-comfortable.html' title='I&apos;m Not Comfortable'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-8426598044436016998</id><published>2008-02-29T08:46:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-29T15:38:04.991-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Where Should I Take Her On A Date?</title><content type='html'>First of all, if you have been talking online for a while then you should know her likes and dislikes. What foods does she like? What activities does she like? What is some of her favorite drinks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Small restaurant. This does NOT inlcude McDonalds, Wendy's, or Burger King! Find some nice little pub downtown or small sandwich shop for a casual meeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Coffee shop on the corner. Nothing like a little Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts to get a relationship going!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Pick someplace with a view! What about a nice little shop near the mountains or the beach? What about a view near a lake?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. What about sports? How about bowling or golf would sound great to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Movies are okay, but doesn't leave much room for talking. I would suggest this one as a second date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Sports Bar. Pick somewhere that the main focus isn't just seeing how much you can drink.

I thought that online romancers where smarter than this? But, to my suprise, a lot people don't tell the other person that this makes them uncomfortable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After telling the other person that you are not ready to get into the sexual aspects of your relationship, do they stop or pressure you on? If they really care about YOU as I person, I believe that the person will stop asking those questions.

Is there any rhyme or reason behind what people think and feel is romantic and qualifies as true romance? Probably not. It always comes down to personal preferences and individual personalities. Romance in a relationship can infuse a bit of that early-relationship excitement and keep things from becoming too "comfortable". The principals of romance can also be applied to online dating. We have compiled some fun ideas for showing your online match that you care! Just customize our ideas and make them your own – we guarantee that they will be appreciated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Romance blossoms on the Internet, but there is still public concern about the safety of online dating. There is now broad public awareness of the online dating world, and the Internet users who are actively seeking dates have found a variety of ways to pursue their romantic interests online. The Pew Internet Project just released its first report on what role the Internet plays in American romance, "Online Dating." Some of the results might be eye-opening for those not already involved in looking for love in cyberspace.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;To search for love in cyberspace, first find a potential love interest online. Then, use the chat sessions and e-mail to develop the new friendship. Think about any online relationship, at first, as an online friendship. It is better to know the person first, as many people lie about themselves. So, it is better to give a romantic orientation to your relationship only after you meet and decide to continue the relationship. If the relationship doesn't work out romantically, you still have a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Some believe that romance should just come naturally, and if it doesn't, or if closeness starts to subside, it means that something is wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth. Keeping romance alive requires time, attention and the willingness to start fresh over and over, to learn how to constantly reconnect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;After the initial excitement of being in a relationship is over, many allow things to fall into a routine and begin taking one another for granted. They assume they know what their partner is feeling, that it doesn't matter if they come late for a date, don't look so good, or choose a night out with friends too often. It's important to be aware of what we are doing to either keep the closeness going, or subtly push it out the door. Unless both parties feel valued by one another, the romance will die down. In order to truly enjoy one another, appreciate your time together. Rather than thinking of what comes next, focus upon each moment and taste it to the fullest. Being fully present and experiencing the moment thoroughly is the road to the greatest joy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Spend some time writing down and expressing the ways in which you wish to re-commit to your partner, and why. By doing this on an on- going basis, you will not only keep the love and relationship fresh, but keep yourself aware of why you are with the person. As you do this not only will the romance re-kindle, but the relationship will be solidly planted on unshkeable ground.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Contributed by Teri Plaxton&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-4313408217219700513?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/4313408217219700513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=4313408217219700513' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/4313408217219700513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/4313408217219700513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/02/be-great-matchmaker-online.html' title='Be A Great Matchmaker Online!'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-7198199351388203592</id><published>2008-01-23T16:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-23T18:24:18.615-08:00</updated><title type='text'>MeMe or No MeMe!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="previewbody" style="DISPLAY: block"&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Someone came up with the crazy idea of MeMe. I think that this is a great way to get to know other people and a way to get some great marketing done!!! The rules are very simple, you get tagged, you write six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself, then you tag at least six others!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the things that you might not know about me, and I hope that they bring back your own memories of the Days Of Old...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. In grade school I started out my musical career playing the flute, then we didn't have a drummer, so I did the bass drum for a year, the snare drum for a year, then the Tim-Toms for a year. After that, we were short in the brass section, so I learned the Trombone by marking my music with my slide positions. I spent four years playing in a pep band, concert band, and my favorite, the Jazz Band!!! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;2. My paternal grandmother passed away when I was 6 years old, but before she died she taught me how to crochet and knit. Since then I have not only crocheted several afghans, but I have knitted several sweaters and even golf&lt;br /&gt;club covers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. I learned to quilt on my own. To date, I have made about five of them including two memory quilts for my mother (one of with my brothers pictures and one with my pictures)... a log cabin quilt, a Noah's ark quilt, a Jacob' Ladder quilt, and I'm currently working on a Christmas quilt. I machine piece and hand quilt them, so it does take me a while!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I started my first job, as a waitress, the day after I graduated from high school... my other jobs in college included library assistance for 1.5 years, chemistry lab assistant for a semester, Radio Station "on air personality" for 5 years with 1 year as the Program Director and 2 years as Station Manager.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. In high school I was a loner and didn't have a best friend until my Junior year of high school. I might as well have been voted "least likely to succeed." And now??? My high school best friend and I just celebrated our 40th birthdays in Cancun, the others in my class don't hardly talk to each other. While my classmates are great teachers and accountants, the one least likely to succeed travels the United States as a traveling nurse, has been Number One in Nursing, Trends, &amp;amp; Issues on Amazon, Published in several national magazines, and has a link on drphil.com. As my fellow Okie, Toby Keith, says... "How Do You Like Me Now???"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. And talking about High School.... I had this long distance relationship with the guy I met at Church Camp. We went to church camp every year and had plans to get married after I graduated from high school. He graduated from high school first, traveled 200 miles to tell me that he was leaving for the Army, but he would be back to get me in a year. That was the last that I talked to him... until TWENTY-TWO YEARS LATER!! Yeppers, thanks to Reunion.com I found my high school sweetheart. Of course, we were both married, just not to each other. Now THAT is a crazy romance!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who tagged me:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Janet Elaine Smith is at: &lt;a href="http://janetelainesmith.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://janetelainesmith.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kristie Leigh Maguire is at: &lt;a href="http://kristieleighmaguire.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://kristieleighmaguire.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Interesting Websites that I'm tagging!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carolyn Howard-Johnson's is at: &lt;a href="http://sharingwithwriters.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://sharingwithwriters.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Model Elaine is at: &lt;a href="http://internet-dating-guru.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://internet-dating-guru.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;15-minute Dating is at: &lt;a href="http://www.15minutedate.com/blog/"&gt;http://www.15minutedate.com/blog/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Free Internet Dating is at: &lt;a href="http://freexdating.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://freexdating.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaking of Romance is at: &lt;a href="http://www.speakingofromance.com/"&gt;http://www.speakingofromance.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nita Wisk is at: &lt;a href="http://www.nitawick.com/blog/"&gt;http://www.nitawick.com/blog/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dee Savey is at: &lt;a href="http://deirdresavoysays.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://deirdresavoysays.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suzanne James is at: &lt;a href="http://historical-novel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://historical-novel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;TCMcMullen is at: &lt;a href="http://tcmcmullen.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://tcmcmullen.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allyn Evans is at: &lt;a href="http://www.allynevans.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://www.allynevans.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nina Osier is at &lt;a href="http://ninaosier.livejournal.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://ninaosier.livejournal.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rules are simple, and isn't this fun???

Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;Now my question to you is....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;MeMe or No MeMe???&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Epstein LaRue, RN, BS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.epsteinlarue.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;www.epsteinlarue.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-7198199351388203592?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/7198199351388203592/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=7198199351388203592' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/7198199351388203592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/7198199351388203592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2008/01/meme-or-no-meme.html' title='MeMe or No MeMe!'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-3768959534694149518</id><published>2008-01-20T14:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-20T15:10:47.087-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Internet Radio Program</title><content type='html'>I just got through doing a great interview with Janet Elaine Smith for "Authors On Track" at Passionate Internet Voices Radio....  what a blast!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Janet asked me some tough questions about my  background in internet romance, writing, and about the cover of the new book.

There are precautions and safety measures you need to take when you consider an Internet romance, but in many ways it's safer, more comfortable, more anonymous, and perhaps more successful in the long run, than any other way of starting a romance. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many turn to online dating after tiring of the bar scene or at the end of a long term relationship. The first group might well think that there are nothing but losers or those interested in only one night stands out there looking for a woman or man. The latter might feel like it's been so many years since they dated that they simply don't know how to flirt or look for a mate. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There may even be those that, while they might welcome the bar scene, can't tolerate the smoke. It may be that all these folks should consider an internet romance. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internet dating has been around for about a decade now, and there were those that, when they wondered, "Should I consider an online romance?" decided not to because of embarrassment. They thought that Internet dating was for losers and those who couldn't find a mate on their own. Internet dating simply wasn't accepted in many circles. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is no longer the case, however. A national U.S. television broadcast company completed a recent study about Internet dating. They found that of those Americans that had Internet access (and most do) 15 percent had visited at least one Internet dating Web site. Surprisingly, 73 percent of these were 30 years old and over. Even one third of those who hadn't taken part in online dating said that they felt it was safe, although about the same number admitted they knew someone who'd realized a negative online dating experience. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internet dating has clearly become accepted. The taboos are off. The question of "should you consider an Internet romance?" is no longer about any stigma involved. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;British television got into the online dating reporting game as well, pointing out that women should consider online because it left them more control and more power in the early relationship, with the safety of Internet anonymity. Some professionals point out that internet dating enhances shy peoples' chances of finding their soul mate. Those who wouldn't go up to a new woman or man in a bar or other social situation can do so comfortably on the Web. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the drawback is there is no initial way to know if that person on the online dating site is being truthful. They could be married, incarcerated, abusive, and so forth. Their picture might not be their picture. When you consider if you should try an online romance you must know that you have to probe and get to the truth with phone calls, non-threatening initial public meetings, and, if necessary, private investigation.&lt;br /&gt;The answer to "Should you consider an online romance?" is, then, "only if you're going to be wise, watchful, skeptical and willing to verify". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Abbas Abedi--Get access to a growing collection of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://dating-and-seduction-tips.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;dating tips, seduction tips, romance and online dating tips for a man or a woman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;.

That's why it is better to know from the beginning how to protect yourself from fraud when using Internet personals and dating agencies. Many people try online dating in order to find a partner, but many of them don't know that online dating has also risks, such as dating scams.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is considering scam, for example, when a lonely foreign man gets acquired over the Internet with an attractive woman, which will try to get as much money out of the unsuspecting foreigner as possible. Online dating scammers are heartless; they are happy to exploit people's emotions for their own gain. If you get too deeply involved, a dating scam can heart not only your hurt, but your finances too. So, don't be too sincere with the one you are chatting, remember that Internet personals, dating sites allow anyone to join free so you never know who is behind that pretty photo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The online scams come in many forms and shapes, but the nastiest form is romance scams, when those persons approach you on a dating service. They play with their victim's feelings, send them lovely messages, call them on the phone, and after they built some degree of trust, here come the nasty scam part. They may have many faces: not only they frequently changes names, but they may list themselves by being of different gender, race, age, location.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The major weapon of the romance scammers is photos. If the photos are more attractive, the chances that this could be a scam are bigger. They may get the photos from a modeling site and also photos of innocent people and start using them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do they act? First, they approach the victim, by using some attractive photos that are usually uploaded from the Internet. Second, they are ''grooming'' the victim; they establish some lovely correspondence with you, talking about unconditional trust and her honesty. Also, the letters become long, flowery and romantic, and even call the guy '' my love’’, '' my prince'' and so on. She pretends to fall in love with you and talk about her dreams of your first meeting. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The next step is to asking for money; after they will come to present you a sad situation, in which they are passing now, will be asking for your help. Such as: they would really like to meet you but do not have enough money or those they have been robbed and beaten and require urgent surgery or treatment for a serious illness. Even if you get in the trap, they will not stop here, and trying to milking the victim for money as much as possible, using different lies as reasons. And finally, take place the disappearing act; start getting out little by little, sending only few messages and then disappearing at all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, to not pass in such a nasty situation here are some things that you should pay attention: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;when you view a profile look out for things like a sleazy user name; a normal and sincere woman will not use a sleazy user name&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;read what the profiles says, because people milking for others money will say something vague that can fit anyone&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;look at the photos, if the photos are too attractive, gorgeous and professional in combination with a vague profile it means that there are troubles, that this is a scam; beautiful people are very selective so they include many requirements in their profiles. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to protect yourself:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;use your common sense and think first that the offer may be a scam&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;never send money or give credit card details&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;do not open suspicious or unsolicited emails, you've better delete them&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;never reply to a Spam email&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;do not agree to transfer money for someone else because money laundering is a criminal offense&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad part is that guys are more vulnerable to fail for dating scams. There were many times when men send money to their non existing female admires. So, as an advice, never hand over money or personal details such as home address or bank account to someone who you never actually met. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also never forget that online dating has many advantages and these dating scams shouldn't stop you to try online dating anymore, especially now that you know how to handle the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;By the way, find now a beautiful Romanian woman at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ebridex.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;www.eBridex.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; and you will see that they are for real, so you should not be afraid that you may be chatting with a dating scam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8803917617704299792-2205750317013947525?l=crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/feeds/2205750317013947525/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8803917617704299792&amp;postID=2205750317013947525' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/2205750317013947525'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8803917617704299792/posts/default/2205750317013947525'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crazyonlineromance.blogspot.com/2007/12/in-our-days-dating-frauds-are-becoming.html' title='Do Not Fall For Dating Scams'/><author><name>Epstein LaRue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14630320479923905703</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/images/KaySlane.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803917617704299792.post-3501816690061427184</id><published>2007-11-30T20:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T20:27:33.664-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Crazy Thoughts Of An Online Romance</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This blog is dedicated to Crazy Online romances that go against the odds.
