12 Things Women May Not Want to Know About What Men Think...
by EvanMarc Katz

This concept was liberally borrowed from Esquire's 10 Things You Don't Know About Women. It's not relationship advice. It's light comedy, built heavily on cliche and stereotypes. The readers at Yahoo! nearly crashed their comments section with their thoughts on either how amusing or how offensive this is. If you're in the second category, you should probably not be reading this blog. Really. I won't take it personally.
Anyway, here are 12 Things Women May Not Want to Know About What Men Think...
1. Getting angry at us for not reading your mind is like getting angry at yourself for not being able to fly. It's not just futile, it's physically impossible.
2. Yes, we do think Jessica Alba is hot. Sometimes we're even dumb enough to admit it.
3. Don't ask us to understand your shoe fetish. Asking us to respect it is even sort of pushing it.
4. You do look good without makeup, just not as good as you look with it.
5. Ever notice how we don't fight with our male friends? That's why we get so frustrated when we fight with you.
6. You care what you're wearing infinitely more than we do. In fact, if you're naked when you open the front door, you won't hear an argument from us.
7. You don't like to get hit on in public, you don't want to date online and you don't want to be set up on blind dates. Tell us if sending messenger pigeons is an appropriate way of courting. Because if it is, we're all over it.
8. There should a statute of limitations on stupid things that we said that can come back to haunt us. I propose 24 hours.
9. Cooking dinner for a man is like buying flowers for a woman, except it takes a lot more time, effort and thought for you to do it. Thanks. We appreciate it.
10. We actually like your girly pet-names for us, but please, not in front of the guys!
11. Just because we like looking at the women in Maxim doesn't mean we want to actually converse with the women in Maxim. Not for long, anyway.
12. Your nice guy friends are the most reliable source for telling you if your new boyfriend's a jerk. And he probably is. (By the way, you might want to consider marrying that nice guy who's giving you advice about the jerk.)

Tips For Christian Online Dating

Tips For Christian Online Dating
by Jon Arnold

The thought of using an online dating service might be scary for many people. Putting information online for people to peruse and view as if they were examining the qualities of hamburger at the grocery store is not a pleasant thought. For those singles who have a strong Christian faith and are looking for a partner with the same values, this can become even more scary if you don't know the facts.
But the facts are that you do not need to be overly concerned about it. The best online dating sites out there today allow you to be anonymous if you want to be. Of course, you should be honest with your responses when filling out your profile at the dating service site, but that is to provide a fair chance that someone who is reviewing your likes and dislikes will see things that spark their interest in you, and perhaps initiate a conversation with you or contact you.
Oops, now you just got scared again, thinking you will be getting phone call at all hours of the day from somebody who MIGHT have a Christian faith, but who also might be just the opposite. Again, not to worry, because this is simply a matter of understanding how the online dating service works. With most of them, someone can contact you or you can contact them through the email system of the dating service. That's right, the initial contact is done through email, and done through the dating service, so that the person you are contacting or who is contacting you does not even know your real email address. The only things they know about you or that you know about them is what they have elected to include in their profile.
You are looking for a person who has a strong Christian faith. That is an important part of your life and will be an important part of anyone's life that you may decide to form a long lasting relationship with. So how do you find such a person? You can visit every church in your area and see who is attending. But what if the church has multiple services? What if they just decided not to attend on that Sunday? It really is hit and miss taking the old fashioned way, and the ideal person might be right around the corner, also single and also looking for someone who puts a priority on their Christian faith, but you would never know it.
This makes a Christian online dating service the ideal place to find that special someone who also puts a priority on their Christian faith as you do. Single Christians are very restricted in how they can meet new people, because they really only want to date other people who take their Christian faith as seriously as they do. You can eliminate a huge number of potential candidates by reviewing the information in their profiles, and if Christianity is not listed, then it is either not important to them or they are not Christian, and in either of those cases, you need to keep looking.
Rest assured that there are plenty of single Christians who are in the same boat as you are, and with the technology available at the online dating sites, the chances of finding a Christian as a potential match just went through the roof! If you are serious about finding a Christian-oriented possible match, it does not get any easier than with the search tools available at today's best online dating sites.

4 Rules To Transform A Long Distance Love On The Internet Into A Normal Relationship

4 Rules To Transform A Long Distance Love On The Internet Into A Normal Relationship
by Ovi Dogar

Let's suppose that you are meeting someone online and that person seem to be the match of your life, but is living far away from you. Does it worth to spend your time in a long distance relationship with this person?
What if this person is really your soul mate?
You may be surprised how much a relationship can grow if you work at it. If you know and apply some simple rules, your relationship can turn out to be one of the most successful and happy relationships that ever existed.
Distance, combined with phone calls and writing, electronically or through regular mail, can foster an enviable intimacy which results from learning about another's qualities, values and ways of thinking, sensitivities, dreams, and aspirations. This type of intimacy can make your coming together much more special.
And, as if relationships weren't complicated enough, having them across a long distance is extremely challenging. Just read the following rules and try to keep them in mind and apply them:
1. The quality of a relationship is more likely to increase if both people develop the ability to share feelings openly with each other. Do not be afraid to tell your partner what you really need and want from him or her, he or she deserves to know the truth and judge whether they can give it to you.
2. Make the relationship a high priority. Avoid canceling reunions or putting off a phone call.
3. Keep in touch daily. If large phone bills are a concern, send e-mail, letters, cards and even faxes. And when you do make contact, don't just stick to love talk, but keep each other informed on the day-to-day aspects of your lives. This way each of you is aware of how the other is thinking, feeling and developing. Late-night talks and thoughtful letters can convey a lot of what is most important in the long-term: your goals, values and dreams.
4. Be prepared to be flexible. Tell your partner of how much you think about and love him or her and you will score some important points. Making them miss you more and you'll fill them with the constant urge to see you. But don't be possessive. Being paranoid and accusing will only grow doubts, insecurity and tension between you and none of those will help the relationship develop successfully.
If your partner truly wants to be with you, then they would not want to wait forever to have you next to her or him. As long as you both trust each other, inform one another of your personal lives, keep in touch, your relationship can turn out into a happy normal relationship.
Ultimately, a fabulous relationship is your goal - right?
