Care for a Date?
You wanna meet the girl/guy of your dreams? Well, before you get there you need to iron out your networking issues. Because the rule of thumb is, the more you know,the more you'll get to know.
1. Ask your doorman if he knows of any singles in your building. Find out their schedules so that you can DELIBERATELY bump into them. Introduce yourself and invite your neighbour over for a drink.
2. Hang out with people who like people. Stop being friends with loners- they put a damper on your views of dating, love and marriage.
3. Find a role model. Look for a person who has successfully navigated the dating scene and is happily enjoying his/her love life. Study actions, attitudes and style. Copy what appeals to you and put it to work in your life.
Now, if you've done one or all of the above, you should be on your way to a first date. What do you do then?
1. Learn to budget wisely. Dating can be expensive. You need clothes, dinners, movies..etc. Set up a budget that will suit you.
2. When you date people with incomes that are higher than yours, stop feeling intimidated. Remember that you aren't in a competition to see who can have the biggest paycheck. Just enjoy someone else's good fortune.
3. If you're a girl, respect your date's finances by not ordering the most expensive item on the menu. Be wary of a date who doesn't remember your budget when you are paying for the date. This works BOTH ways, guy or girl.
4. Date people who respect you. If your love interest doesn't respect you, get rid of him/her today. If you're not getting respect, ask yourself why you would date such a person and learn from your answer.
5. Beware of singles who always run late for their dates. These people are sending signals that their own schedule is much more important than you. Everyone runs late from time to time, but if she/he is habitually late, give her/him the boot.
Other considerations...
1. Date a different race. More and more people are ignoring the race issue when they date.
2. Date people from a different social world than your own.
3. Call a long-lost childhood friend. Who knows what may come of it? :)
4. Reevaluate your idea of the perfect date as you age. A great date for you at twenty may not seem like a winner at 23. Make sure that the date you try to find is the one you want at this time in your life.
5. Don't try to change your date to suit your wants and desires. Accept your date as who he or she is. If your date isn't acceptable to you, move on to another relationship. It's hard enough to change yourself; it's almost impossible to change someone else.
I know, I've tried.
So there you have it. For you girls (and boys) out there, chin up, your ideal date might be just around the corner.
Have a gander, you might just like..what you see. :)

The kissing part isn't all true, you see if a guy goes 90% and the girl wants to go 0%, chances are he'll be slapped so hard his head'll be spinning three ways to sunday.
