Dating Experts

First dates are often boring, awkward, unexciting, and even torturous to many men. Guys build up the occasion in their mind for days or weeks beforehand, only to be severely let down after the fact. Too much pressure, too little chemistry, not enough fun, not enough attraction, nothing accomplished, all of these disappointments crush men in their pursuit of love…

3 Things to do to Make Being Single on New Year’s Eve NOT Suck

3 Things to do to Make Being Single on New Year’s Eve NOT Suck

Moet Girl

Being single on New Year’s Eve should be like being single any other day of the year, except it’s not. It’s one of those holidays that can leave a single girl ready to put a hit out on Cupid. It’s a night we’re reminded that our plus one is MIA, and if you’re me he’s been missing for years now.

This isn’t to say there haven’t been prospects, of course there’s been plenty of those, but it goes like this: You’re not into him, he’s not into you, and if you’re  twiddling your thumbs with one guy waiting for another one to get it together, well it’s basically the vicious cycle of singledom we’ve all come to know and accept.

I’m here however to tell you like many others have and will, that being single on NYE doesn’t have to suck! You just need to do a “follow my lead” and I can guarantee you a night full of fun on your own terms. You see part of the problem is that we want what other people have, or at least what we think they have, and that blinds us from seeing what’s right in front of us..

 Step 1: Put Your Game-face On

This is what I like to call decision making time. You’ve got two choices:

  1. Go out
  2. Stay in

Here’s the thing, this is a win-win. Why? Because you’re choosing to do whatever the hell you want, and that is ALWAYS a win! If you choose to go out I recommend finding the best party (which involves open bar and a taxi), buying a new dress (the sparklier the better) and if you’ve got to fly solo then by all means spread them wings butterfly! I’ve had some of the best times going out alone. It’s not as scary and shameful as some might leave you thinking, and in my humble opinion the best place a single girl can find herself is sitting at a bar alone. The odds of getting hit on are forever in your favor and even if you aren’t staring at McDreamy you never know who’s looking at you!

On the flip side you can choose to stay in and it’s up to you if that means solo, with friends or with all the neighbourhood cats. There is no shame in doing whatever the hell you want!

 Step 2: Buy Yourself Something Pretty

So, now that you’ve decided what you’re doing it’s time to decide what to wear. Now the cliché but appropriate suggestion, if you’re planning on dancing the night away is a dress. I did make mention of something sparkly already, but why not treat yourself to a new matching bra and panty set? I feel my most accomplished when mine match. Throw in a coordinating mani/pedi and I’m ready to take on the world! Which is why it’s my duty to suggest the same for you.

If you’re planning on not venturing out please don’t feel like you too can’t treat yourself to some new skivvies. Picture a brand new luxurious robe over a new pair of your favorite style panty and bra. Did I forget to mention this is the perfect opportunity to try something new?! Just because you’re home alone now doesn’t mean you will be forever, so a little practice strutting your stuff never hurt anybody.

 Step 3: Toast To the Single Life

When the countdown starts no matter where you are or who you’re around take a second and envision all the good things you want! They’re all yours for the taking and if that just so happens to mean a man then put yourself out there and go get him. Men are everywhere and if you need to inject some new ones into your life all you need to do is make some minor tweaks. Take a new way home, opt for the gym near work instead of home or attend an after work happy hour.

There was a time whenever I left the house I’d say, “Today could be the day you meet Mr. Right.” Now I’ve yet to see that day, but once you’re able to drop the deadlines and vision you have for how, when and where, you’re going to meet the one, you just might meet him!

Good luck ladies!

5 Steps to Get Over a Break Up

5 Steps to Get Over a Break Up

The Break Up

You’ve just broken up with your boyfriend. You knew it was coming; your relationship’s been in turmoil for a while now. Or it might have been unexpected. You didn’t see it coming. But nevertheless it’s a reality you have to come to terms with. So, what are the best 5 steps to get over a break up?

  1. Get Over a Break Up – Start Giving More

Once you’re over getting drunk and crying on friends’ shoulders, you’re faced with a sudden void that you don’t know how to fill. More booze and more crying can only go so far. It won’t be long before friends start suggesting that you take matters into your own hands and maybe cut down on the 2am sob calls.

Stalking your ex is not an option, whether online or offline. Even if there is hope for reconciliation, having some “me time” can earn you more brownie points than desperate texts about how it’s all your fault or his fault for that matter.

Be more charitable instead. There is need for help everywhere you look. Rather than feeling sorry for yourself, try feeling compassion for others. Whether is buying more than one “Big Issue” from a homeless guy or volunteering, whether it’s helping out a colleague you don’t actually like or making a donation so that Wikipedia stays ad free, the choice is yours.

The point is to stay connected to the world around you rather than bury yourself in your grief. Throwing yourself into work doesn’t count. It can be counterproductive on the long run. You’ll set expectations that will be hard to maintain once you’re over the heartbreak and want your life back.

  1. Get Over a Break Up – Work On a New Look

A break up can leave us feeling unworthy, unattractive and insignificant. Rejection is a hard pill to swallow. The “get him out of your hair” method is well and truly popular. However is pointless as a step one. Work on your soul first, looks come second.

Once you’re ready to smile, even if just occasionally, hit the shops and the hairdressers. Ask your friends to join to make it more fun.

Getting Over

  1. Get Over a Break Up – Indulge Yourself

Some of us are tempted to get a new look and go straight out there on a prowl. Whilst getting male attention is not altogether a bad thing since it can help boost your confidence, it is better not to pursue men for a while. Why? Deep down you are angry with our ex, with yourself, with how things went down. The smallest misunderstanding with a new man can make you find fault with all men under the sun.

You should have a cake day instead or a DVD box set day or a quite a few. You should indulge in anything that takes your fancy, romantic movies, Ben and Jerry ice cream, replanting the entire garden or going to the spa. The main thing is to give more to you.

  1. Get Over a Break Up – Rediscover Old Passions

These could be anything from travelling to pottery class, to one night stands with ex lovers.  You should be, by now, half way through your heartbreak and just as convalescent patients move from the drip to solid food, it’s time for you to get more adventurous. It will help you get a stronger sense of self.

The main thing is to stick with the familiar. By doing something you used to do and enjoyed doing, you gain strength from your old self. What better way to heal?

Got Over Break Up

  1. Get Over a Break Up – Start Dating

You’ve re-established the roots of your personality, you’ve found yourself, now it’s time to have a peak out there. It may take a while to be able to throw your heart into the game, but who says you can’t throw in your other senses. Try going for lust, rather than love at first. Keep things cool as well as hot and steamy. Once you’ve mastered this phase you’ll know when your heart is ready to fall in love again.

Dr Jane Greer on Janay Rice and Is Love Blind

Dr Jane Greer on Janay Rice and Is Love Blind

Janay Rice, wife of disgraced NFL player Ray Rice, says she refuses to be stuck in that elevator. In a recent interview with Matt Lauer on Today she talked about the domestic abuse incident that seems to have taken over her life lately. Specifically, Janay spoke about the two now infamous security tapes which show Ray beating her in a casino elevator. She admitted that she did not see either video before they were made public, and still refuses to watch the second, more graphic tape because she is not going to allow “the public [to] bring me back there.” In addition, during a press conference this past spring, Janay surprised people when she apologized for her “role” in the fight. At the time she said, “I was ready to do anything that was going to help the situation. Help his image. Help obviously his career.”
