</table></center></div><p>If you are a bit shy and unsure, then your dating paradise is online, where you can come across so many just like you. When you approach an unknown person in a bar, disco , at the movies or in the bus, you risk stumbling and not finding the appropriate words, therefore look ridiculous. On the other hand, when you are online, you can think properly before writing anything and you are harder to embarrass because he or she is not right in front of you, looking you straight in the eye, waiting for you to say something.</p>
<p>Love and understanding are available for anyone with just one click. Lonely people might end up making bad choices in their love lives. Because loneliness is hard to bare, people end up settling for any partner, even if they are not the only one in the other&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not healthy to feel and act like this because you&#8217;ll end up becoming an easy date. And because you get no relationships, you&#8217;ll jump all over the first one that looks at you. If someone arrives at this point, he or she should stop blaming the way he or she is and start understanding what they should ask from a date.</p>

amazon_ad_tag = "oceanfeathere-20"; amazon_ad_width = "468"; amazon_ad_height = "60"; amazon_ad_logo = "hide"; amazon_color_border = "251387"; amazon_color_logo = "E7E0D8";//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script></center></div><p>Online dating is a wise option for lonely and desperate people, because online they can mask all those inner feelings that make them vulnerable. It&#8217;s best to also stick to your profile&#8217;s preferences and do not respond to anyone that doesn&#8217;t fit in your request, because online it&#8217;s easier to find a perfect match. Right now maybe you don&#8217;t think much about choosing dates carefully, but in time you might end up with the wrong person and regret your current decisions. If you have a child, this is something you must share and you can find people willing to discuss interesting things about kids, like what color Razor A3 scooter you should buy or what meals he is eating.</p>
<p>Online dating is safe and enjoyable for all people. In such websites you can choose to only search for persons with common interests and them simply chat with them, with no commitment promise. Talking and laughing with strangers while in the intimacy of your home can be really helpful sometimes.</p>

</table></center></div><p>1. You&#8217;re chained to your mobile</p>
<p><!-- wp_ad_camp_2 --></p>
<p>If you want to be guaranteed a second date then under no circumstances should you answer your mobile (ailing parents are the only exception). Guys who return a text message, update their Twitter or Facebook, or actually answer the phone won&#8217;t be dating us next weekend.</p>
<p>2. Not enough eye contact</p>
<p>It&#8217;s usually a sign of insecurity when someone is unable to keep eye contact. Or they&#8217;re a deranged psycho. Either way, it&#8217;s unattractive. We women need good eye contact for two reasons a) to get an initial connection and 2) to give you our sexy smoldering look.</p>
<p>Both of these ingredients are crucial for a first date. We just can&#8217;t get into you if you are constantly looking away.</p>
<p>3. Drinking too much</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t hate booze, far from it. There&#8217;s only been one first date that I didn&#8217;t drink and that was with a recovering alcoholic. I&#8217;ve found most people I know agree with me.</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><center><script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag = "oceanfeathere-20"; amazon_ad_width = "468"; amazon_ad_height = "60"; amazon_ad_logo = "hide"; amazon_color_border = "251387"; amazon_color_logo = "E7E0D8";//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script></center></div><p>However, there&#8217;s a big difference between having a rye and coke to calm your nerves and loosen up your inner charm and drinking so much you become falling down drunk and think you can get away with groping us. Not cool; definitely not sexy. As a matter of fact, if you&#8217;re over 21, it&#8217;s just not acceptable. Be an adult and live with your drink limitations; especially on the first date.</p>
<p>4. Is this a date or a job interview?</p>
<p>Yes, we love a guy who&#8217;s organized but let&#8217;s not go overboard. Even if we wanted to be your &#8220;girlfriend&#8221; we sure don&#8217;t want to feel like we&#8217;re being interviewed for it. Leave the list making and point keeping at work.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re not interested in being lectured to about your like and dislikes in a woman and what you&#8217;re looking for and not looking for in a relationship. Just go with the flow and if we click, we click. We shouldn&#8217;t have to verbally defend ourselves about why we&#8217;re out with you because we&#8217;ll talk ourselves right out of a second date.</p>
<p>5. You REALLY like us too soon</p>
<p>When we ladies are at home, putting our pretty on to go out with someone for the first time, yeah, we&#8217;re pretty excited. And hopeful. And anxious. One of the biggest concerns going through our minds is, &#8220;what if he doesn&#8217;t like me?&#8221; Yes, not being dug on a date is pretty much a huge downer. But what&#8217;s even worse? When the dude is convinced he knows you perfectly after 5 minutes, is in love with you after 10, and by the end of the night is making &#8220;jokes&#8221; about running away to Vegas and making stuff legal.</p>
<p>Stop! I already said I&#8217;d go out with you again, but I didn&#8217;t say anything about taking your last name. Not all women are in a race to reach the altar. Come on this strong and you&#8217;re just going to freak us out.</p>

</table></center></div><p>Internet dating sites can be very useful. You&#8217;re able to explore all kinds of options in a short amount of time in the comfort of your own home. While you browse through the profiles you can pick the ones of interest and learn a few things about the person. All of this before you even decide to initiate a conversation.</p>
<p><!-- wp_ad_camp_2 --></p>
<p>Unfortunately, this increase in pre-first date talking can lead to extra excitement over that first in-person encounter. Why is this unfortunate, you ask? Because extra excitement means higher expectations; and greater disappointment if things don&#8217;t live up to your desires.</p>
<p>Sometimes this downfall can be really accentuated by one glaring, unexpected trait in your date. Sometimes it&#8217;s amusing, sometimes frustrating, sometimes even a little frightening. Read on to learn to how deal with one of the more common blind date surprises; your date is shorter than you are;</p>
<p>Firstly, this happens far more often than you might think in the land of online dating. After all, his profile was so cute! Cute as in you want to meet his mom! When he proved he could carry a conversation (a definite bonus), you made the decision to meet in person.</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><center><script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag = "oceanfeathere-20"; amazon_ad_width = "468"; amazon_ad_height = "60"; amazon_ad_logo = "hide"; amazon_color_border = "251387"; amazon_color_logo = "E7E0D8";//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script></center></div><p>You look hot, you&#8217;re all nervous and excited and full of anticipation and then you get there; and he&#8217;s shorter than you. Which you didn&#8217;t know, nor expect. It&#8217;s the movie star thing; they look way taller on-screen, both movie and computer.</p>
<p>Yes, I know it&#8217;s a bit of a letdown. It doesn&#8217;t seem to matter how modern we women like to say we are, we still want to feel like &#8220;girls&#8221;. That includes being with a man who looks big and strong in comparison. I&#8217;m not saying we&#8217;re all like this. I know more than a few women for whom the whole height thing doesn&#8217;t matter in the least.</p>
<p>Despite your disappointment you&#8217;re going to suck it up, right then and there, and go on this date. No excuses! Don&#8217;t be rude. And while you&#8217;re recovering from the let-down, think back on what made you decide to go out with him to begin with. Remember all the things you talked about? Remember the things you already know and like about this person? Right, so keep an open mind. You could end up thinking that this guy is absolutely terrific!</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t downplay the importance of attraction in a relationship, so if it&#8217;s not there, it&#8217;s not there. You absolutely shouldn&#8217;t feel bad about it. But give it a shot; at the very least, you could end up with a great new friend.</p>

</table></center></div><p>The advent of internet dating definitely changes first impression circumstances. It&#8217;s entirely possible that you&#8217;ll be going out on a first date with someone that you&#8217;ve been communicating with for weeks or even months.</p>
<p><!-- wp_ad_camp_2 --></p>
<p>On the other hand, just as many of us are still encountering promising singles in the real world as are delving into the wild world of internet dating sites. And in truth, most of us are doing all of the above. Hey, we&#8217;re busy people who maximize our dating potential! It&#8217;s just smart.</p>
<p>The variations in rules between the different arenas of romantic meetings can be a bit daunting. If you met person A in location B, is it okay to suggest activity C on the first date? Fortunately, some things stay universally true. At the top of this list? The ways in which you make an unforgettable first impression.</p>
<p>The tactics for making a good first impression have remained pretty much the same. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you met at a friend&#8217;s party, if you&#8217;re finally meeting in person with that cutie who has been emailing you online or if your eyes met over a business lunch.</p>
<p>1. Eye contact supreme</p>
<p>The best way to communicate your confidence, honest and more importantly your interest is by making direct and lasting eye contact with your new acquaintance. Locking looks works so much better than fleeting here and there glances.</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><center><script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag = "oceanfeathere-20"; amazon_ad_width = "468"; amazon_ad_height = "60"; amazon_ad_logo = "hide"; amazon_color_border = "251387"; amazon_color_logo = "E7E0D8";//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script></center></div><p>Want to make a good impression but get bored of all that eye-time? Play little memory games with yourself; think about the exact color and shape of their eyes, as well as other qualities about their face. That way, you&#8217;re not only making yourself come off as interested and connective but you&#8217;re committing their face to your memory.</p>
<p>2. Know when to reign in the excitement</p>
<p>So you&#8217;re chatting up some fabulous new person you just ran into and you&#8217;re having that old as the hills dilemma of wanting to seem interested without appearing over eager. What to do? Let them set the tone. Wait until they start talking and try to match their energy and excitement level. It&#8217;s a great way to make sure you&#8217;re not holding the conversation hostage and you can let go of worrying about seeming too detached or too worked up.</p>
<p>3. Almost touching but not quite</p>
<p>While getting almost touchy feeling isn&#8217;t appropriate in a professional setting where all that&#8217;s required at the beginning and end of a meeting is a firm handshake, getting into someone personal space without touching them can be really flirty.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll convey a sexually charged undertone by almost, but not quite, touching someone&#8217;s knee or shoulder. It&#8217;ll leave them wanting more! Women especially love the almost intimacy while appreciating the fact that you&#8217;re not being too forward physically.</p>

</table></center></div><p>Even the most charmed of couples can go through phases of being not so great. Whether it&#8217;s a major, known issue, or you&#8217;re just a bit out of sorts with each other for awhile, no relationship is immune. The good news is, it doesn&#8217;t mean the end. And it doesn&#8217;t mean things won&#8217;t get back to good.</p>
<p><!-- wp_ad_camp_2 --></p>
<p>Along with the good news, there&#8217;s some bad news. When you&#8217;re part of a troubled twosome it can be difficult to see ahead to better times. And that lack of clarity can make people do some really stupid things; all in the hopes of saving their relationship.</p>
<p>I understand, I really do, because I&#8217;ve been there. If you want proof, keep reading for a sampling of three of the most common mistakes couples make to put their relationship back on track. Oh, and for the record, I didn&#8217;t have a baby.</p>
<p>Babies</p>
<p>Seriously? I have to say this? Apparently, I do. Because people are still doing the whole punching-holes-in-condoms or I-swear-I&#8217;m-on-birth-control thing and tricking their significant other into an &#8220;accidental&#8221; pregnancy. And it&#8217;s not just the ladies&#8230;men do this too. A thousand shades of wrong, folks.</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><center><script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag = "oceanfeathere-20"; amazon_ad_width = "468"; amazon_ad_height = "60"; amazon_ad_logo = "hide"; amazon_color_border = "251387"; amazon_color_logo = "E7E0D8";//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script></center></div><p>Invade his privacy</p>
<p>So his cell phone is sitting right there, and he&#8217;s nowhere to be found. You&#8217;re thinking that a quick peek at his text messages and email will give you all the insight you need into fixing whatever is wrong. Right? Wrong!! You&#8217;re delusional if you think that possible law breaking, not to mention a gross invasion of privacy will help you fix your relationship. What is will get you is a break up.</p>
<p>Checking up on a partner by surreptitiously rifling through his communications is a road that goes straight to a freak out. If you find something chances are it&#8217;ll be inadmissible in court (&#8217;cause what you&#8217;re doing is probably illegal) and you&#8217;ll be labeled a snoop. If you find nothing, you&#8217;ll still be a snoop, and a sneaky one at that.</p>
<p>Moving in together</p>
<p>This one is along the same lines as having a baby. Moving in together when your relationship is in trouble is just never a good idea; rather you&#8217;re inviting trouble. It may be an understandable response, but it&#8217;s illogical.</p>
<p>While the two of you may labor under the illusion of romance and the temporary diversion can be a thrill, in the long term your problems will still be there. Only now, you&#8217;re sharing them with a lease or a mortgage on top of everything else. Talk about complicating things!</p>

<p><!-- wp_ad_camp_2 --></p>
<p>Life is too sweet; women need someone around to suck all the will to live right out of them. Any interest in being that person? Well, good for you, you little do-gooder! To help speed the process along, I&#8217;ve compiled the 4 best ways to go about being the consort from Hell:</p>
<p>Destroy Their Self Esteem</p>
<p>A sure fire way to be a horrible boyfriend is to tear your gal pal&#8217;s confidence to pieces. If you want to take it to the next level, build up your own self image at the same time you&#8217;re destroying hers.</p>
<p>There are numerous techniques you can use to accomplish this; no one technique is better than another as long as they accomplish the same thing. You could start by telling her that yes, those pants do make her look fat, her best friend would in fact look better in that dress than she does. And while you&#8217;re at it, don&#8217;t forget to mention her flawed relationship with her mother, while yours is the picture of perfection.</p>
<p>Drama King</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><center><script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag = "oceanfeathere-20"; amazon_ad_width = "468"; amazon_ad_height = "60"; amazon_ad_logo = "hide"; amazon_color_border = "251387"; amazon_color_logo = "E7E0D8";//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script></center></div><p>Try this little treat on for size: make a huge deal out of positively everything. And be really self-centered about it. For example, whenever she calls, pick that time to immediately dive into your oh-so-intriguing story about your stressful day of stubbing you toe and not making it to the cleaners before they closed.</p>
<p>Naturally this will take up a good deal of time. You&#8217;ll have no time to listen to her no matter the reason she called. She&#8217;s your girlfriend and she&#8217;s supposed to understand that you have a life and are incredibly busy and have things to do. Dial tone.</p>
<p>Always Be Ready With Advice</p>
<p>Oh that poor woman, where would she be without you? Honest to goodness, her career, relationships and family life would be a shambles if it weren&#8217;t for your daily dose of advice. Her wardrobe/vacation destination/restaurant meal would be a mess without your help. As her boyfriend it&#8217;s your duty to point out the error of her ways. If you didn&#8217;t, how would she ever learn? And that condescending tone in your voice is the perfect accompaniment.</p>
<p>Bring Out Her &#8220;Party&#8221; Girl</p>
<p>It might seem like it&#8217;s enough to be someone&#8217;s favorite bar buddy on the weekends, but hey, she can do better than that, right? She should go out with you every night! Because life is too short for icky little responsibilities! So what if she has an early meeting or is trying to cut back on the sauce to fit into her favorite dress? It&#8217;s your job to make playing the night away seem like the thing to do. And definitely don&#8217;t forget to make her feel like lame little lamb if she turn you down.</p>

<p>When we have a new partner we usually can&#8217;t stop ourselves from singing their praises. New love is a wonderful thing, even though we may drive our friends crazy because we go on and on and on. Too much information? Yes, but we just can&#8217;t help ourselves.</p>
<p><!-- wp_ad_camp_2 --></p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if things could remain that way? Well we all know that things change. Some good changes happen and some bag changes happen.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s fast forward six months or even a year. Notice any changes? Chances are an outside observer wouldn&#8217;t even know we&#8217;re talking about the same person. What happened to all those wonder qualities we used to rant and rave about? They&#8217;ve turned into complaints; and our friends are rapidly becoming as tired of them as they did about the good things.</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><center><script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag = "oceanfeathere-20"; amazon_ad_width = "468"; amazon_ad_height = "60"; amazon_ad_logo = "hide"; amazon_color_border = "251387"; amazon_color_logo = "E7E0D8";//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script></center></div><p>Disappointment happens in almost all relationships. You&#8217;ll get hurt, or you&#8217;ll hurt someone and it may even reach a point that you just want to call it quits. If you&#8217;re close to that point how about turning things around? Instead of only complaining, make it a point to talk up the good things about your partner.</p>
<p>Just as we strive for a work and family life balance, we should also strive for balance in our relationship. While venting to a partner about the sore points is advisable, you need to balance that with the positive things in your relationship. Too much of either creates an imbalance for growth and the wrong balance could cause your relationship to collapse.</p>
<p>When talking to your friends about your partner it&#8217;s important to know when to share and how much to share. Once it&#8217;s been said, it can&#8217;t be unsaid, so before you decide to share, take a moment and think about what&#8217;s really bothering you.</p>
<p>Thinking before speaking accomplishes two things. One, it provides insight about your situation and allows you to get to the heart of the matter. Trust your instincts. Second, after you&#8217;ve thought about it and you&#8217;re still feeling unsettled, then you can make the decision to talk to someone.</p>
<p>When this happens, talk about the situation but balance it with positive information as well as complaints about your mate. Giving both sides helps the person listening not just take your side. Sometimes the person listening will be able to find the positive and give you a way to praise your mate. Remember, there was something special about them that made you date them in the first place. Keeping this in mind will help you be able to approach what is going on with an open mind.</p>

<p>There should be a check box for &#8220;lives with roommate&#8221; on internet dating profiles because there&#8217;s a lot more to being involved with someone who has a roommate than you might think. The place your man puts his boots at the end of the day has a built in audience for some of your naughtier crimes if you don&#8217;t abide by the rules!</p>
<p><!-- wp_ad_camp_2 --></p>
<p>Dating someone who lives with a few other people can be a lot of fun; it&#8217;s a great way to meet new friends and on any given night, chances are that at least one of them will have a fun idea for something exciting to do. But beware: there are certain paths that you must tread lightly and being the girlfriend in a roommate situation is definitely one of them.</p>
<p>Never fear; follow these simple rules and you&#8217;ll be just fine. But I would still start reminding your man that having his own place has its perks.</p>
<p>1. No matter how urgent the call of mother nature, take a few seconds and put on a t-shirt and underwear before going to the bathroom. You know what&#8217;ll happen if you don&#8217;t, right? The roommates will see far more of you than you&#8217;ll be comfortable with. And the one time you do chance a naked dash to the loo? Yeah, that&#8217;ll be the one and only time you&#8217;ll be spotted, guaranteed.</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><center><script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag = "oceanfeathere-20"; amazon_ad_width = "468"; amazon_ad_height = "60"; amazon_ad_logo = "hide"; amazon_color_border = "251387"; amazon_color_logo = "E7E0D8";//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script></center></div><p>2. Before you get sexy busy with your guy, take a quick inventory of who&#8217;s home and who&#8217;s not. Let that be the basis of deciding whether to bite the pillow to muffle the sounds of letting your inner lion roar.</p>
<p>3. Speaking of sexy time, show courtesy and respect for your guy&#8217;s roommates. And that means not being known as &#8220;that&#8221; couple; the couple who lets the whole world know what&#8217;s going on behind closed doors. Keep the noise to a minimum.</p>
<p>4. Remember, your guy shares the living space, and that the stuff in it belongs to other people, not just your boyfriend. You don&#8217;t want to piss off the locals by raiding the wrong shelf or container in the fridge. Find out ahead of time how the food is divided.</p>
<p>5. Forget the flirting. It probably comes naturally to you and you don&#8217;t mean anything by it. You think it&#8217;s harmless. But your guy won&#8217;t. Especially when his roommates can hear the two of you having sex, and they spotted you in your skivvies, he won&#8217;t take kindly to any perceived flirtation. Make an effort to keep things harmonious.</p>
<p>6. It might be at the bottom of the list, but this is probably THE most important piece of advice I can give you. Repeat this over and over until you have it memorized; &#8220;I don&#8217;t live here&#8221;. You don&#8217;t pay rent, you&#8217;re dating one the roommates. And the other guys in the house are going to get tired of your dirty dishes, your laundry in the washing machine and your body in the shower. Yes, you&#8217;re entitled to feel comfortable at your boyfriend&#8217;s place; just don&#8217;t forget where you really live.</p>

<p>It is safe to say that Hollywood A-List actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will never have this problem. They are both extremely gorgeous people and they have the votes from around the world from gossip websites to well-known magazines to prove it.</p>
<p><!-- wp_ad_camp_2 --></p>
<p>Even if they were single, they would have more than enough suitors after them and would have it easy and may not have to consider internet dating as a resource unless they chose to do so.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s only natural that two good looking people will grab people&#8217;s attention. But what about when you&#8217;re the one who is dating a really good looking companion? Would you be able to handle it? If it&#8217;s happened to you already, did it go well?</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><center><script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag = "oceanfeathere-20"; amazon_ad_width = "468"; amazon_ad_height = "60"; amazon_ad_logo = "hide"; amazon_color_border = "251387"; amazon_color_logo = "E7E0D8";//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script></center></div><p>I&#8217;m an average looking gal. My friends describe me as &#8220;cute in a girl next door kinda way&#8221;. And most of the men I&#8217;ve dated are average looking as well, with one exception. This guy was so good looking I sometimes wondered what the heck he was doing with me! Women and men both drooled over this guy&#8217;s appearance.</p>
<p>But when we were out together, people looked at him, not at me. It wasn&#8217;t something I was used to. We didn&#8217;t date for long and although I was sad when we broke up, I was happy the relationship was over. I was simply too insecure to date someone better looking than myself.</p>
<p>In retrospect his looks should not have been the important part of the relationship. He, like so many others, was just looking for someone to love, and he liked me for me. I was the problem; or rather my attitude. I&#8217;d found the guy with the movie star looks, but now I didn&#8217;t know what to do with him. I was unable to just enjoy the moment, which was too bad because he was a fun guy and full of practical jokes.</p>
<p>Of course physical appearance counts; it&#8217;s the first thing we notice when we meet someone But to take a relationship to the next level most of us rely on more than just looks; we put our faith in personality and things we may have in common.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, I have another opportunity to put my confidence to the test. I&#8217;ve just started dating someone who&#8217;s even better looking than the other one. When we&#8217;re out in public I hold his hand with confidence and smile when the ladies swoon. He&#8217;s just as handsome inside as out. And the confidence that shows on my outside is also present on the inside.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m over first dates (not internet dating). I mean, I love them and all but seriously, with all the build-up and the pressure and the uncomfortable shoes and the billions of articles (hides head in shame) written about how to go about pulling off the best first date ever; it&#8217;s all a big to do about just one night. And it&#8217;s my new opinion that the first date isn&#8217;t the most important.</p>
<p><!-- wp_ad_camp_2 --></p>
<p>It&#8217;s definitely special; this is where first impressions are made and hopefully the first sparks fly. And the legendary third date is where, according to tradition, you let your new sweetie see your sexy under things. Of course, nowadays it&#8217;s altogether possible that that magic moment happened at any time, from pre-first date until your wedding night. But still, I think we all continue to get the third date rush.</p>
<p>The date between the first and the third gets short shrift. Not enough of us pay attention to it which is unfortunate because this is where the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is. By the second date you&#8217;re much more at ease, less nervous, and those sexy urges are usually tamped down until the third date. There&#8217;s obviously an attraction there, or you wouldn&#8217;t be having a second date.</p>
<p>The second date is the sweet spot. You want to make sure you make the most of this underappreciated occasion read on for a handy checklist:</p>
<p>Put your listening ears on</p>
<div id="in_post_ad_middle_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><center><script type="text/javascript"><!--
amazon_ad_tag = "oceanfeathere-20"; amazon_ad_width = "468"; amazon_ad_height = "60"; amazon_ad_logo = "hide"; amazon_color_border = "251387"; amazon_color_logo = "E7E0D8";//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/ads.js"></script></center></div><p>It&#8217;s time to put your listening ears on. Since you&#8217;re out with this person a second time, you obviously made a good impression on the first date. You can let go of the nervousness and put your brain back into gear. Start by focusing more on being genuinely interested in your new sweetie and less on making yourself look amazing. This is your opportunity to learn more about your date and watch him or her become a more complete person.</p>
<p>Up the flirting</p>
<p>This is the time to flirt it up, just don&#8217;t get too serious about it. Why do you need to flirt it up on the second date? Because too often people allow themselves to slip into &#8220;friend&#8221; mode. So you&#8217;d better be creating some sexual undertones otherwise your date will get the wrong impression.</p>
<p>If you want your date to believe that all you want is friendship, good enough. But I&#8217;m guessing you don&#8217;t; so flirt it up and make your intentions clear.</p>
<p>Let go of your preconceptions</p>
<p>This is no time for preconceptions. Not about yourself, the other person or even this fledging relationship. Let&#8217;s face it you&#8217;ve only been out together once, so you don&#8217;t know who this person is yet. Nor do they have any real idea of who you are. Your &#8220;relationship&#8221;, if it could even be called that, is way too new to be put into a neatly labeled box.</p>
