Dating Ideas for the 21st Century

Here's a creative date idea for when you've been seeing someone for a while and have got close to them. After dating for a period of time we often like to have photos of our new partner and what better way than to make a date out of it and create a digital photobook.

So our first step is to identify somewhere to shoot. This could be a local park or somewhere with nice gardens. I live not far from a beach which makes a perfect location even when the weather is not so good. Alternatively, you can always find some interesting places downtown. You'll probably want to check out your location to make sure it will give you the effect you want.

Then you can both take a few hours in each other's company taking lots of great photos, and make sure they get some of you. Your photos don't need to be formal poses either as you'll sometimes find that the better photos are those taken when your date is least aware. And if there are passers by then try and see if they'll take some photos of you both together.

In our 21st century world many have immediate access to a digital camera and these are perfect for our photo-date as we can look at our photos at the end of our photo session rather than have to wait for processing. Digital cameras are just great as they allow us to take hundreds of photos in the space of a few hours without worrying about the quality of each picture. This is great for just snapping away and afterwards you can have a few more hours laughing at your lovely day and the great results you have to show for it.

And to end your perfect day, how about buying a digital photo keyring and loading your best photos on to it at the end? This will give you a lovely frequent reminder for your perfect date whenever you want it. For the less technological of you, perhaps you could take your photos to a quick processing place and then present your favourite photo to your date in a picture frame at the end of the date. And for the technologically advanced, why not make a photo-story movie out of your date, the software is readily available for free on the internet and sometimes already on your PC.

Tips For Keeping the Conversation Going When on a Date

Conversation is the life-blood of a date. Conversation is what allows you to get to know your date and whether you are compatible with them or not, and the better the conversation is, the better you will feel about the date.

So how do you keep a conversation going strong without awkward silences that can ruin a date's potential? Here are 5 things to try on your next date to ensure the conversation is always on the go.

1. Ask Questions about Their Interests

This seems obvious but may people don't do it! Many people will instead try talking about themselves to the other person which gives their date nothing to talk about in return. The objective of a conversation is to have both parties talking and not just one person, so when you ask them questions you allow them to respond to you, and you give yourself an opportunity to ask for further details.

You will want to ask questions about their interests. A good way to phrase it is "What is your favourite...?" When they tell you then you can start a conversation about whatever they answer with. And as a bonus you know they will be interested in it because it's their favourite thing!

2. Listen Quietly

So many times we interrupt people with our thoughts while they are talking. That's because our brains are always working and we are constantly thinking about how the conversation applies to our life and views. But that doesn't make for a good conversation, and if you interrupt your date enough they may just stop offering information to you all together. So when they are talking you should be listening without interruption.

3. Maintain Eye Contact

Most of what we say is through our body language, and if you are not maintaining eye contact while they are talking then you are showing non-interest in what they have to say. This will result in them shutting down and keeping their thoughts to themselves. I mean really, who want's to talk to someone who is not interested in them? So maintain eye contact and show your interest in them!

4. Respond Enthusiastically

The way you respond to your date also can show interest or non-interest. If you respond by saying "Oh yeah" or some other boring response then you will have them wondering if you really want to hear what they have to say.

On the other hand, if you respond with an enthusiastic "Wow! That's so cool!" then they will feel as though you are really interested in what they have to say and continue the conversation to receive more praise and positive acknowledgement.

5. Admit Ignorance

Many people are scared to admit that they don't know what their date is talking about but doing so is one of the best ways to ensure a conversation keeps going!

When you admit you don't understand them, or know anything about the topic they are discussing, it gives them a chance to show off their knowledge and really explain things to you. This can lead into an interesting conversation where you learn something new and they feel good for teaching you it.

These 5 tips should always help you keep the conversation going strong on a date. Use them to your advantage!

The Truth About Money and Attracting Women

In life, you will come to several crucial and defining moments. I would like to use this opportunity to create such a moment. I want to do this by presenting a different angle to the area that many men are concerned with: money and dating. The views commonly represented by the media and the society are, in my experience, very skewed as compared to reality. Let's take a look and see how these impact your life.

As a man, you are taught from an early age that you must have money. You know that at some point you will have to take care of your family, including your wife. Even though, the media makes it look like women want to contribute, the fact is no woman grows up hoping that she is going to be the bread-winner of her family.

In fact, money women are taught to believe that once they have enough money, they do not need a man in their life.

Now, you may have realized that many men are stuck in a vicious cycle trying to impress women. Instead of managing money wisely, men spend on expensive gifts in order to please women.

Imagine how much it costs to buy just the engagement ring! The modern man has been programmed to tie his self-esteem with the amount of money he can afford to spend attracting and courting a woman.

Here is what you have to understand: when you don't have an income stream that increases in value even while you're asleep you've already lost the game.

That's because, you will not get this money back. Forget the romantic nonsense about the value the woman will bring into your life. First of all, you are in the relationship too, why doesn't that attract "monetary value"?

Secondly, all you need to do is to take a look around and see how many women walk away with half the money their ex-husbands made. According to statistics, 70% of all divorce cases are initiated by women.

There is another very important fact to look at. Whenever a woman above 21 years of age tells other women she met a new man there usually one thing that comes to their mind first. Can you guess what it is?

Well, the first thing they want to know is what you do for a living! You can still work around this but first, you have to know how to really play this game.
