7 Great Fall Dates

2008-10-01T09:30:00.003-05:00

By Tobey Grumet Segal

Learn how to cook comfort food

Cooler temperatures tend to bring out your inner homebody, making fall a prime time to learn how to cook the best comfort foods. What’s better than a piping hot chicken potpie or homemade macaroni and cheese to fill you up and keep you warm in the post-summer chill? Plus working side-by-side with your sweetie is a fun, domestic way to bond. Check http://cookforfun.shawguides.com to find a class near you.

Go Mars-gazing

Some hot spiced cider and a secluded spot make for a romantic evening of stargazing. With the changing of the season comes the changing of the night sky, and autumn is perfect for viewing the planet Mars, with or without a telescope. This year, your best viewing time is October 29th, when the planet named after the Roman God of War will be closest to the earth. It will look bright red, and be located low on the southern horizon. Check www.space.com/spacewatch/050819_mars_guide.html for more details. Bonus: Chilly nights and hunkering together to peer through a shared pair of binoculars can lead to canoodling.

Celebrate Oktoberfest

The beer-centric festivities traditionally begin in the first week of September and last until the last week of October. The largest celebration is in Munich, of course, but plenty of opportunities reside stateside to listen to an oompah band, dance the polka, nosh on pretzels and try some of the finest specialty beer the German people have to offer. Hoist a pint, get a little woozy, split a bratwurst, and you’ve got one fun fall date. Go to www.aviso.net/dir/usa/german/events/oktoberfest.htm for information on events nearest you.

Go pumpkin-picking

Travel back to your Charlie Brown childhoods and pick your own pumpkin together from the patch. Place bets to see who can find the biggest—or weirdest-shaped—hunk of squash, then lug it home together to carve. Log on to www.pumpkinpatchesandmore.org for nationwide pumpkin-patch listings.

Scare yourselves silly

Rent one of the classics—Psycho, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Shining—or head to www.fearfulfilms.com for more suggestions. Then cuddle up with a bowl of popcorn, some Goobers and Raisinets, and get ready to grab each other for support!

Fly kites

Those swift and steady fall winds are perfect for kite flying, so go buy two colorful kites and hit a beach or open field. Staring up at the clouds, listening to the breeze, and enjoying some quiet time together can be the ultimate bonding experience.

Throw a tailgate party for two

Whether you’re already a fan or just looking for an offbeat date idea, football season can definitely deliver—anything from a pro game to your local high-school homecoming festivities will get your adrenaline going. Pack a picnic (chili, chips, steaming hot chocolate, and whatever else you two are craving) and a heavy blanket; then head to the stadium on the early side for an intimate tailgate party for your own. Need some recipes? Check out www.chiff.com/entertain/tailgate.htm.

Tobey Grumet Segal is a New York-based freelance writer whose work has appeared in Self, New York, The New York Observer, Modern Bride and Maxim. Fall is her favorite season and every year, she and her husband love to pick their own pumpkins.

Keeping Love Alive

2008-09-26T09:32:00.005-05:00

Once you meet someone online and your relationship progresses, it's important to keep love alive. Don't let work, kids, and every day stresses come in between you and your mate. Make the most of the time you have together by considering the following tips:

Smooch your partner before leaving home - this simple action keeps you connected all day
Date Night - pick one night a week to escape the rat race at home and have dinner over candle light or take in a movie and popcorn. Don't lose your identity as a couple.
Give each other a break. When you come home, give each other 30 minutes to unwind quietly and leave work behind. Men and women both need this transitional time.
Shut off the distractions at dinner. Eat dinner together and turn off TV, cell phones and computers. Play soft music and enjoy being together.
Grab lunch together, you'd be surprised how 30 minutes and a couple sandwiches in the park can rekindle a spark.
Mini vacation - grab a bag with an over night change of clothes and hit the road. You'd be surprised what you can explore only a couple hours away from your home.
Break up chores, so you have more time to spend together and things get done quicker.
Ship the kids to grandma's. Catch up on things around the house and share a quiet weekend in without children.
Do the unexpected. Surprise your partner with flowers, a gift or a night out on the town.
Planning something special is an excellent way to infuse romance into your relationship. Sometimes even the smallest surprises can feel like the biggest.
Watch a sunset together
Listen openly to his/her opposing opinion
Play a game together

Stop Whining About being Single

2008-09-24T09:28:00.006-05:00

There is something new to toast in the online dating world!

Wine Lovers Meet is a free dating site for singles who enjoy wine.

You don't have to be a wine connoisseur to become a member. Just as long as you have some general enthusiasm for the great taste of wine. Wine and dating go hand in hand. People enjoy associating with others who share the same common interests. Some wine enthusiasts tend to be fanatical about their passion for wine which is why we created this site. Another great advantage to this concept is that wine lovers usually tend to be among the most classy and sophisticated individuals within our society. Its hard enough to connect with singles that you're compatible with.

WineLoversMeet.com offers a variety of interesting features such as instant message capability, blogs, guestbooks, photo rating, a glossary of wine terms, wine forums, information about wine events, wine etiquette, wine facts, quotes from famous people about wine, wine education, articles, wine news, etc. The wine articles section has many "How To" articles that are great for beginners or less experienced wine drinkers to learn about wine related activities such as wine tasting, wine clubs, wine events and tours, pairing wine with food, wine storage and wine making. You can also purchase wine on our site as well.

Friday's Flirting Tips

2008-09-19T11:33:00.003-05:00

How do you know when someone is flirting with you. Why is it so hard to read body language when chatting with someone? Dating wouldn't be dating if there wasn't a little flirting involved. Flirting is fun and it gives out signals to someone that they are interested in you. Some people are good at flirting and some people are hopeless.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when you get your flirt on:

-Wink
-Keep eye contact with someone across the room for a couple of seconds and then glance away
-Playing with hair in a stroking or toying motion
-Keep eye contact while playing with hair
-Lots of smiling, open mouthed and teeth flashing
-Be playful and spontaneous

-Keep messages brief—you want to retain a little bit mysterious
-Hold your gaze while moving to music
-Give a compliment to someone you like, but keep it sincere
-Smile! It will make you so much more approachable

-Look for humor in what the person you're flirting with is saying

-Be confident and secure with your flirting approaches, and most importantly - be yourself!

Missed Connections

2008-09-17T08:28:00.004-05:00

Finding the courage to ask someone out on a date or for their number, even email can be tough, especially if you just met them.

Craigslist.org is a complete one stop shop for real estate, jobs, community events, services, and personals. It's a community bulletin board where anonymous individuals can call out to someone they want to know better. Under the personals on Craigslist there is a section called 'Missed Connections.' You can post a note looking for someone you may have made a connection with, but for some reason didn't get their info before departing. Or you saw them in line at Starbucks and didn't have the courage to go say hello. For example, they may post an ad that reads, "I saw you in Starbucks on Main Street ordering a latte wearing red shoes. I thought you were cute - can I buy you your next latte?"

Missed Connections was created in 2000 after Craigslist employees noticed "I saw you" messages popping up in the personals section. The name of the category was chosen as a transportation metaphor. "Our motivation is simply that this is something that happened to all of us," said Craig Newmark, an Internet pioneer who started Craigslist in San Francisco.

'Missed Connections,' on Craigslist is creating relationships all over the country. It's a feature that all singles are thanking the creators of Craigslist for.

10 Best Things To Do On A First Date!

2008-09-16T11:12:00.003-05:00

1. Prior to your date check out the local news and read the newspaper to know what is going on. News and events always sparks conversation.

2. Listen. Act like you are genuinely interested in what your date is saying.

3. Keep your attention focused on your date and don't blab on about yourself too much!

4. Don't act too serious. First dates are for getting to know someone and having fun.

5. Don't talk about past relationships unless you are sharing something you learned about relationships in general.

6. First Impressions do last! Guys, get out that iron and apply it to your shirt! Girls, this isn't a time to put slap on that fire engine red lipstick, keep it natural and fresh!

7. Do discuss hobbies and interests to see if there is a compatibility match between you two.

8. Be confident. If you have just broken up with someone you might be nervous and less confident. You deserve someone that compliments all of your strengths - show them off!

9. Smile! Whether you are on the street, in an interview or on a date - smiling always welcomes conversation and warms up the mood.

10. Say what you feel! Don't regret leaving your date not saying how much you really enjoyed yourself and their company. Wrap up the date on a positive note!

The Best Handles to use Online

2008-09-12T11:54:00.002-05:00

Creating profiles for online dating sites can be a cinch, but coming up with the perfect handle name can be a harder decision.

An article in the New York Times, said that in April, The Times of London reported on a study by Dr. Monica Whitty, “a lecturer in cyber-psychology,” which revealed the names or “handles” that garnered the most numerous responses among online daters. Here’s what it said:

“Playful and flirtatious names such as “fun2bwith” or “i’msweet” were ranked top by both men and women daters as those they would most like to contact. Physical descriptors such as “cutie” or “blueeyes” were close behind. ‘These names suggest an outgoing or fun nature, or clarify the user’s positive physical appearance,’ said Dr Monica Whitty.”

But, there seemed to be some gender imbalances in the names:
“However she advised female lonely hearts to avoid screen names which attempt to be classy, or show how clever they are. Males daters said they would be less likely to contact screen names such as ‘wellread’ or ‘welleducated,’ although the study found women were more drawn to names that suggested men were cultured. ‘Less flirtatious names may be more appealing to women because they are wary of men who might be using the site to find one-night stands rather than long-term relationships,’ Dr Whitty said.”

What is your style?

2008-09-11T11:12:00.003-05:00

Fashion Week is winding down in New York City where fashion designers display their latest collections in runway shows, and buyers take a look at latest trends for Fall. Fashion Week most importantly lets the industry know, what's "in" and what's "out" for the season.

Online Dating and Fashion are a lot alike. Women and men visit stores to find that perfect pair of jeans that fit just right; and then they hop online to find a fit of a different kind: compatibility!

No matter your style or fit, there are hundreds of online dating sites out there that for you to try. Studies say that singles 'try on' more then one online dating site until they feel comfortable and are actually having fun while seaching for a compatible mate. Only about 5% of people who use Online Dating services actually establish a relationship with someone they first make contact with, so don't get frustrated while 'shopping' for an online dating site.

Strut your stuff online and share your style with millions of single men and women! No matter if you are wearing overalls or polkadots, you'll find someone that appreciates your sense of style.

Dating...Not always a Walk in the Park

2008-08-22T09:44:00.004-05:00

The park is full of people we can't reach. We pass them on our bikes, lock eyes with them at fountains, sit across from them at picnic tables. It can be very difficult for us to break the unknown barrier we build between strangers and let people into our lives.
This can make the process of finding someone to date and someday marry quite difficult. These days, dating isn't always a walk in the park.

Online dating puts aside all of that and brings singles together in a way that is not intimidating and fun to participate in such a 'transaction'.

Don't Kiss Summer Away Just Yet!

2008-08-21T11:53:00.004-05:00

It feels like everyone is waving goodbye to summer and gearing up for the school year and fall season. Even department stores are dressing their mannequins in wool sweaters and fleece jackets, and slashing prices on every piece of summer wear.

If you're not ready to hang up your swimsuit and flip flops don't worry - there are millions of singles online still celebrating summer.

Check out these top online dating sites that are still heating things up:

eHarmony.com
Matchlink.com
True.com
Singlesnet.com

Before you meet your late summer fling remember these 3 important online dating tips:

1. Don't reveal too much about yourself online. If you decide to take the next step and meet someone in person, you'll want to share some things about yourself that weren't included in your online profile.

2. Don't put your entire photo album online. Select a few candid photos of you and post under your profile. Get to know someone a little bit more before showing them your baby photos!

3. Do be yourself and highlight your quirky traits and characteristics. If you need help, ask a friend to list qualities they love about you!

Enjoy the remaining days of summer and have fun dating online!

Cosmopolitan's Laid Back Summer Date Ideas

2008-08-12T15:13:00.003-05:00

Cosmopolitan gives us 8 laid back Summer Dates:

1. Host a Supercasual Soiree

It’s so easy — provide a few bottles of wine and ask each guest to bring an hors d’oeuvre. Perfect for a summer Friday night: Try a sauvignon blanc like Chateau Bonnet Bordeaux Blanc, $10, or Yellow Tail’s new pinot grigio, $7. Or go for a trendy rosé and pick up a bottle of Marques de Caceres, $7.

2. Make a Splash

On Saturday afternoon, beat the heat — and scrap any stuffy workweek grown-upness — by heading to a local water park with your guy and some friends. Spend the day splashing around and racing each other down the slides.

3. Indulge in a Double Feature

Sunday afternoon, head to the movies with your guy or some pals. Buy tickets for back-to-back flicks, and spend the afternoon in air-conditioned bliss.

4. Have a Zero-Stress Sunday Dinner

Who wants to deal with fussy cooking tonight? Whip up these tweaked-out BLTs, courtesy of David Seawell, executive chef at Fog City Diner, in San Francisco. For each, melt mozzarella cheese on a roll or bread in the oven, then remove and add crisped bacon and roasted peppers. Top with sliced red onion, watercress, and mayo. Then sit back and savor your dinner before the Monday-morning rush sets in.

5. Have a Star-Studded Evening

To decompress after a long workweek, make your Friday-night date with your man relaxing and romantic. Grab some vino and a blanket to cuddle on while you lie in your yard and gaze at some stars.

6. Play the Post-it Note Game

When your fave bar finally opens its outdoor seating area, meet your crew for a Saturday-afternoon brew and this Hollywood game. Stick a Post-it Note with a celeb's name on it to each person's forehead, then have your pals guess their "identities" by asking yes or no questions. Fun themes to try: "Which character from The Hills am I?" or "Which Real World housemate am I?"

7. Make It a Fiesta for Two

Order some caliente Spanish tapas and get a taste of summer with this peach sangria recipe courtesy of The Acorn in Nashville: In a 32 oz. pitcher, combine 6 oz. vanilla vodka, 6 oz. orange-flavored rum, 8 oz. champagne, 4 oz. peach brandy, and 8 oz. cranberry juice. Serve over ice with sliced peaches, oranges, cherries, and mint leaves. Then invite your beau inside to do the mattress mambo.

8. Do Something Outdoorsy

You know that guys dig chicks who can get a little down and dirty. So on Sunday afternoon, take your dude hiking, in-line skating, or biking. You may not look as polished as you usually do, but he'll be psyched that you want to do something physical. especially after being cooped up in the office under fluorescent lights all week. Single-gal hint: If it's one of the first times you're hanging out, turning the date unto an activity instead of a glorified interview (read: dinner) takes off a ton of pressure.

Monday's Dating Tips...

2008-08-04T08:51:00.004-05:00

Another Summer Monday has found you wanting to line up some fun plans for the upcoming weekend ahead! Singles, you have all week to find another person online Friday rolls around.

Remember these tips when dating online:

Don't worry - have fun! If you worry too much or have little confidence in your online dating skills, then make sure to relax.

Be positive online and on dates - no one likes to be around someone who is constantly negative about being single.

Let your light shine - people are attracted to people who are calm, centered and happy.

Date Conversation - begin by simply asking about her or his day. Listen to what your date has to say, and take turns directing the conversation. Get to know the other person and don't try to rush anything on the first day. If in-depth topics come up, good; if they don't, don't worry.

Avoid talking about past relationships while on a first date. Nothing sabotages a first date more quickly than someone who can't stop talking about their ex.

Be yourself - there's nothing more important then being yourself, you want your date to be attracted TO YOU - not who you're trying to be.

Ultimate Guide to Mobile Dating: 100 Tips and Tools to Find Love on the Go!

The Ultimate Guide to Mobile Dating: 100 Tips and Tools to Find Love on the Go

By Jessica Merritt

Mobile dating is a relatively new phenomenon, and allows you to meet new people without being tied down to your computer. You can find and communicate with potential dates using just your cell phone, often just through text messaging. Here we’ll take a look at some tips and tools that will help make mobile dating work for you.

General Tips
Follow these suggestions for a better mobile dating experience.

Be vigilant about adultery: Using a cell phone as opposed to a computer, land line, or in-person, makes it easier for cheaters to get away with adultery, so be careful to ensure that your date isn’t already spoken for.
Set a specific time to check messages: You’ll probably be inundated with messages throughout the day, so save your sanity and designate a time when you can read and respond to messages.
Take advantage of your phone’s video camera: If you have video function on your phone, use it to do a video chat with people you like.
Don’t be boring: No one wants to read an essay on their cell phone. Keep things short, sweet, and interesting.
Stick to established services: Sometimes, smaller mobile dating services will "pad" their listings with fake profiles, and even send you fake messages to get you more interested in using the service.
Be picky: Don’t send out messages to everyone who loosely fits your criteria or you’ll be bombarded with more interest than you want.
Don’t be vague or generic: Stand out among all of the other people on the site by offering something different and specific than everyone else.
Respond quickly: One of the great things about mobile dating is that you can communicate in rapid fire, so don’t leave potential dates hanging.
Be yourself: Given the anonymity of online dating, you may be tempted to put on a facade, but eventually you will meet your dates, and your true self will come out, so just be yourself from the very beginning.
Don’t Photoshop your images: Make sure that your profile photos look like yourself.
Introduce yourself: It’s hard to get to know someone over the phone, and even harder when you don’t have a lot of information, so be sure to give at least a basic rundown of what you’re about.
Say what you want: Don’t leave prospects guessing if they’re right for you. Let it be known if you’re looking for a middle aged man who enjoys snorkeling.
Set special ringtones: If you’re using a mobile dating service, chances are you’re going to get a lot of messages, so set your phone up so that you’ll have a different ringtone when receiving calls or messages from the service.
Be spontaneous: If you’re out and find someone you like, invite them to meet you somewhere.
Find a date while you’re bored: Mobile dating offers a fun way to find a date while you’re on the bus, in a waiting room, or just a boring meeting.
Don’t be offended by rejection: Don’t get upset if you don’t get messaged back. Some users may be inundated with messages, or they’re just looking from something specific that isn’t what you offer.
Change your photo often: Let others see different sides of you and keep things interesting with a new profile photo every now and then.
Take advantage of immediate meetings: Mobile dating makes it easy to find someone, and then meet them almost right away.
Don’t be too serious: Realize that mobile dating isn’t a life or death matter. You might meet your soul mate, or you might just meet someone that’s fun to go out for drinks with. Either way, do not put too much pressure on yourself to get things right.
Don’t be afraid to respond quickly: With mobile dating, the rule about "waiting three days" goes out the window. Write back as soon as you’re ready to.
Get the dirt on cost: Before signing up with a mobile dating service, be sure to read the fine print in order to find out exactly how much it will cost you to use the service.
Consider upgrading to an unlimited text or data plan: To avoid worrying about your cell phone bill, look at the cost of upgrading to an unlimited plan.
Create a good profile: If your mobile dating service uses full profiles, be sure to fill it out as much as you can.
Don’t lie in your profile: Avoid being misleading and setting yourself up for trouble later and just be truthful instead.
Be positive: Mobile dating is incredibly fast paced, so don’t be let down if you’re passed up by others–there will be plenty more later.
Give compliments: Make someone interested in you by complementing something on their profile. It will also give you a chance to spark a conversation.
Take better photos: If you’re using your camera phone to take your profile picture, be sure to check out a guide that will tell you how to make your photo look good.
Don’t drunk-date: Whether you’re drunk texting, or imbibing a bit too much on your first date, drinking will not help you score a relationship.
Safety Tips
Be careful while you’re mobile dating by following these tips.
Use a service that offers anonymity: Look for a service that will mask your telephone number, so that you can’t be contacted unless you share this information yourself.
Find a service that conducts background screenings: Avoid meeting married people or those with a shady past by only using services that properly screen members.
Be careful about what information you share: Don’t share personally identifying information until you’re ready.
Let people know where you’re going: Practice safety by making others aware that you’re going out on a blind date.
Meet in public: When you decide to meet your date for the first time, make sure it’s in public.
Trust your instincts: If you feel uncomfortable, do not be afraid to cut things off.
Get your phone company involved: If you’re being stalked through your mobile phone, ask your phone company to block the offender’s number.
Be vigilant about lies: Your date may lie to you in an effort to convice you that you’re perfect for each other. Be wise enough to see through the fibs.
Message back and forth for a while before you meet: With mobile dating, it’s tempting to meet quickly because of how fast most services are, but take a little time to get to know each other first before you date, and you’ll avoid awkward meet-ups.
Don’t exchange personal information: Be careful about sharing your real name, address, phone number, and other identifying information.
Watch out for overeager suitors: Sending too many messages is a sign that your date is crossing the line between seducing and stalking.
Keep an eye out for fake profiles: Just like online dating, mobile dating is full of fakes, so be sure to scrutinize everyone for truthfulness.
Know when to ask for help: If you’re being stalked and harassed, don’t hesitate to call in help from your dating service as well as local authorities.
Watch out for scammers: Some scammers troll dating services to target singles for scams, so be careful to avoid them.
Don’t date and drive: Be safe, and avoid text messaging or talking on the phone while you’re driving.
Drive yourself: Don’t let your date pick you up until you’re confident that it’s safe to do so.
Etiquette
If you’re polite and follow mobile dating etiquette rules, you’ll have an easier time finding the right person to date.
Don’t pick up your phone on a date: It’s generally considered rude to use your cell phone during a date, but it’s even worse when you’ve met someone through your phone-they might think you’re looking for another date while out with them!
Be punctual: If you’ve arranged to meet or call at a specific time, be early or at least on time.
Avoid sending too many messages at once: Sending a flurry of messages within a short period of time is at best annoying, or worse, expensive for your potential date. Either way, take it easy to avoid scaring them off.
Use your manners: Whether you’re sending messages, or on your first date, be sure to always be on your best behavior with your date and everyone else around you.
Don’t be creepy: Avoid making your date think you’re a sexual predator by steering clear of anything overtly sexual while you’re messaging, or on dates.
Smile: If you’ve progressed to a phone conversation, make sure you smile while you’re talking, and it will make you sound more positive on the phone.
Never send unsolicited x-rated photos: You may think it’s appealing, but you’ll just seem aggressive.
Avoid text-speak: You might think your ultra-short messages are GR8, but your date probably thinks otherwise. Use full sentences and spell out words. It doesn’t hurt to use correct spelling and grammar, either.
Never write in CAPITALS: Doing this will come across as very aggressive and confrontational.
Actually listen to what your date is saying: Carefully read and respond to every message you receive from your partner, and you’ll build a better connection.
Avoid being aggressive: If you haven’t gotten a response as fast as you’d like, be patient and refrain from sending off a nasty message.
Give your full attention: When dating using your cell phone, it’s easy to treat it as another task in multitasking, but it’s important to give your date your full attention.
Respect boundaries: If you’ve been messaging with a partner for a while, but they aren’t ready to talk on the phone or meet, don’t attempt to push them out of their comfort zone.

Online Dating Community for Baby Boomers!

2008-07-24T10:19:00.005-05:00

Look out Baby Boomers - a new niche portal, social network and e-commerce desintation is welcoming you with open arms. BOOMj.com is the first social network to combine community, content and commerce and is the most popular social network that targets the highly sought after baby boomer demographic. In just the month of June of 2008, the site had almost 1 million unique visitors and over 7 million page views!

The name BOOMj derives from the two primary audiences catered to on the site: the Baby Boomers Generation and Generation Jones - both born during the big 20-year, post-World War II boom in births from the mid-1940’s to mid-1960’s.

BOOMj.com states that today, Boomers are 53 to 64 years old and 16% of the adult US population; Jonesers are 41 to 52 years old and 26% of all US adults. Together they are almost 80 million people, arguably at the prime of their lives.

"We’re excited about the new generational paradigm. Generation Jones has already been the recipient of extensive major media coverage, and we’re enjoying watching the buzz. Jonesers were originally mistakenly lumped in with Boomers simply because of shared high birth rates, but generational personalities stem from shared formative experiences, not head counts. The dramatically different formative experiences of Boomers and Jonesers created two very different generational personalities. We at Boomj.com “get” Boomers and Jonesers, the differences as well as the similarities." (source BOOMj.com)

BOOMj.com wants you to think of them as a place to help redefine your own identity, collectively and individually.

Play Bingo For a Great Date

2008-06-11T13:09:00.002-05:00

I know it may not be the traditional date, but bingo can be a lot of fun. And, if you play bingo online, one partner can be cooking while the other plays online. And, after things get hot in the kitchen...bingo!

BingoHouse is an established online bingo website that has been providing players with a wide variety of internet bingo games for many years. BingoHouse features games with different themes, original graphics, large jackpots, in a reputable, trustworthy environment. In fact, BingoHouse is one of the oldest online bingo sites on the web. Players all over the world have chosen to play at BingoHouse for a wide variety of reasons.

Traditional land based bingo halls are limited in varied ways. The jackpots offered are usually much smaller than those offered by online bingo websites. Land based bingo halls have a lot of overhead expenses and cannot begin to compete with online games. Online Bingo sites do not have to pay rent, utilities, state and local licensing fees, and can therefore offer larger cash prizes and branded merchandise. BingoHouse also has a “Bonus Bucks” program where each time a player wins bonus bucks are awarded to that players account and may be used for the purchase of cards for any of the wide variety of games on BingoHouse.

BingoHouse has many games with different themes that can be played twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. There are always several monthly promotions with various themes including seasonal and holiday based games. BingoHouse also maintains several ongoing games with very large jackpots.

The games are divided into six separate categories or sections. The first set of games is titled Bingo Central. Bingo Central has a total of six individual games with varied themes. They are, Mellow Yellow, with a screen featuring daisies, Gems, with a jewel theme, Bingo Café, Super Mellow Yellow, Good Luck and Halloween. Games in the Bingo Central section change, with seasonal and holiday based themes being introduced regularly. Each game has its own chat room and some pretty cool graphics. Game times are clearly announced and cards can be purchased with a click of the mouse.

For those who like their Bingo on the naughty side there is the Desperate Lounge. The games have lively themes and the chat room can get almost X rated at times. The game theme is loosely based on the television series “Desperate Housewives”. The” Desperate Lounge” provides an outlet for those who like their bingo spicy.

The S.S. Lomax is for those who want their online bingo dollar to go further. The games feature 10 cent cards and players can buy up to 25 cards at a time. The games run 24/7 and have the same cash prizes as the other games. The S.S. Lomax is perfect for those players who want to spend more time playing for less money.

Blackout Bingo is for those who enjoy playing for long periods of time. Blackout bingo simply means that all the squares on the bingo card must be filled to win. Blackout Bingo features two themes, Las Vegas and NASCAR. These games usually last for a longer period of time that the other games. Blackout Bingo has special games nightly at 9:30 (EST) that feature jackpots ranging from $150 to $1,000. Since these games last longer than average many players will play side games along with their bingo.

Fair N’ Square Bingo means just what it says. Every player has the same number of cards and the odds are the same for each player. Cards are inexpensive and the games are longer than average. For those online bingo players who like a game where everyone has an equal chance Fair N’ Square is the game for you.

High Roller Bingo is for those competitive bingo players who like excitement. The jackpots are larger than usual and the cards are priced the same as other games. The games take place at specified times and these are posted for each game in the High Roller Bingo section on BingoHouse.

For those who are not familiar with playing online BingoHouse has a free bingo game so new players can get the feel of what it is like to play online. Games take place 24/7 with the chat room open from 11AM to 11PM. For many new players have never been in a chat room before and the free bingo option gives them the chance to learn the “lingo” and get familiar with all the features that online bingo offers.

BingoHouse has a wide variety of side games. For those who like poker there are three versions available, All American, Jacks or Better, and Deuces wild. Players can bet from 5 cents to a dollar a hand. The games have cool graphics much like video poker machines found in many casinos. Other side games are Flag Fortune, Galactic Gambit, and Lucky Charms, each with its own graphics. These are much like the slots players find in places like Atlantic City, or Las Vegas. Many players like to play slots and Bingo at the same time.

BingoHouse has games that can fit any taste or budget. You don’t have to be a computer genius to play and bingo is a well established American tradition. Studies show that 70% of bingo players who play at brick and mortar bingo halls also play online. With land based bingo halls closing in record numbers due to smoking bans and financial distress online bingo is the wave of the future.

Online Dating Tip of the Day: Go see 'Sex and the City'

2008-06-05T12:10:00.011-05:00

Carrie Bradshaw, (aka Sarah Jessica Parker), has once again inspired Sex and The City fans with a love infused movie that has women and men flocking to theatres. Love plays the main role throughout the film and focuses in on Carrie's relationship with her long time beau, Big, who on the final TV episode of SATC, proclaimed his love for her. Carrie's best girlfriends, Miranda, Charlotte and the ever funny Samantha play convincing characters who let the audience in and see for themselves what love means to them. While Charlotte lives a picture perfect life in love with her husband, Miranda is dealing with her husband cheating on her and Samantha ends her relationship with her sultry boyfriend, Smith Jared, to pursue her own desires that she's put on hold for the past 5 years.

It's a sensational film to see and reflect on what love means to you and to see how far some people get "carried" away with love. What remains very consistent throughout the movie, is how love can effect each and every one of us differently. Carrie, the fashion diva that she is, graces each scene with unique couture that only Carrie B. can pull off.

Round up your girlfriends and head to the theatre to see Sex and The City - and let love catch a hold of you.

If you are single and looking to flirt with love in your own way - try online dating - and enjoy the ride!

2008-04-27T12:55:00.003-05:00

Niche dating sites are showing the most growth as mainstream dating sites continue to lose market share. It seems to be a natural evolution in the online dating industry as it matures. Mark Brooks of Online Personals Watch shows the following statistics from his internet dating study.

Why Women Are Laughing At You - Online Dating Tips for Men

2008-04-23T15:36:00.004-05:00

ProfileHelper has worked with thousands of men and women to create their dating profiles or make over the ones they’ve already got. It seems that no matter what condition their profile is in, they almost always have some problems with their photos. It has become such a big deal that ProfileHelper started offering free photo assessments with their profile writing services.
Both men and women have their own photo problems that can cause a perfectly good match to turn up their nose and go looking for romance elsewhere. However, today let's talk about the guys online!

Here’s five big mistakes that men make with their online dating photos according to ProfileHelper.

1. Keep your shirt on – It doesn’t matter how ripped you are. Women don’t want to see your chest on your profile. It makes you look extremely vain and even if you are really ripped (and most of you aren’t as buff as you think), women look at these photos and laugh… right before they leave your profile and move onto the next.

2. You are not Corey Hart – Do not take pictures of yourself in Sunglasses. Women want to see your eyes. Covering them doesn’t make you look cool, it makes you look like a doofus.

3. You don’t need to be Mr. Popular – Make sure not all of your photos are taken with large groups, or even worse, a woman on your arm. Women want to see you, and just you. This includes cropped photos with the “phantom arm” around your neck.

4. No webcam photos allowed – Let’s face it, webcams take awful pictures. They are always too dark and too grainy. Besides, they give the impression that you live at the computer.

5. Leave your “Player Face” at home – How hard is it to smile? That’s all you need to do. A decent smile can land you a first date without having to break a sweat. Don’t waste your time taking the “Mr. Serious” photo or the “Hey Baby, How you doin” Photo. They just don’t work.

Top Online Dating UserNames

2008-04-08T18:19:00.003-05:00

When it comes to online dating, first impressions are just as important as a first look on a blind date. That first impression of a potential mate comes from your user name.

Making your user name fun and flirty is the best way to guarantee that your profile will get looks. Let's face it; everybody wants to be with someone who is fun. Make your user name exude fun times. User names like "Imfun" or "FunnyGirl" will make that potential suitor look twice. Be outgoing and personable when choosing your user name.

Second, flirtatious user names work too, but don't go over board. "Cutie" would work, but "Cutie69" might not have the same impression. "Leggyblonde" would certainly make most men check out your profile.

"Most women error on the side of not being flirty enough in their user names," said Bob Bentz, director of marketing for MatchLink--a leading provider of white label dating sites for radio stations. "They often think that being flirty will encourage men looking for one night stands. The fact is, however, that men associate flirtation with fun and not being an easy score. Most women don't get that."

The worst user names you can use are those that are generic. "Smith78" isn't going to get anybody very excited. Neither is a user name denoting a passive activity; "avidreader" isn't going to get too many people interested. What are they going to do? Come over and read a book with you?

But the absolute worst user names you can have are those that are bragging about yourself. "Toocuteforyou" probably wouldn't work and neither will user names that denote wealth like "BenzDriver".

And, we all know what women think about men who drive Porsches.

Why Online Relationships Work

2008-02-25T16:29:00.003-06:00

by Lynn Gerino

You know someone who has met online?

Why are they still together?

If you were to talk to your friends you would probably find someone you or your friends knows has had success meeting online or at a speed dating event. We all hear stories about the couple who met online in a chatroom and chatted for a few months or maybe a year or longer and finally met, fell in love and have been together ever since. Do you ever wonder why a relationship that developed online seems so strong?

There is evidence that suggests that when people meet online tend to communicate with one another better. What have marriage counselors been trying to tell us for years about communicating with our spouses and partners? It is true that communication or rather the lack thereof is the root of many failed romances. It only makes sense that online dating and chatroom romances that start as simple chat among singles or casual friends establishes a good foundation in that it builds communication skills. A relationship based on good communication is more likely to succeed because those months of chatting have built that undeniable thread that is necessary to tie us together at a level that seems to be missing in our busy lifestyles.

In our busy society, relationships that we develop often suffer. Friendships tend to be shallow and superficial. We don't take the time to really learn about one another. Getting to know one another through communication builds a stronger bond between friends and potential lovers. We are genetically wired to behave the way we do. Men are problem solvers. You have a problem they would just as soon break their neck as to talk to someone who may have had the same problem before and had successfully navigated around it.

Ladies, you know exactly what I'm talking about. All you have to do is remember that last road trip you took together. Did he ever stop to ask for directions or did he use a tank of gas driving around looking for that elusive destination? On the other hand ladies we are guilty also. We love to talk, gossip, and talk some more. I don't know about you but I have found myself in certain uncomfortable predicaments before that could have been avoided if I had just stopped to think about what I was going to say before I said it. If you can't always remember to think before speaking you can always count on your significant other to fix any problems that arise.

Attention Online Daters: Post a Photo!

2008-02-18T12:58:00.006-06:00

Are you an online dater that has one good looking profile with no photo? A long understood factor in whether or not an online dater starts getting emails is if they include a picture with their profile. Singles who include a picture get a much larger response than those who don’t.

According to “What Makes You Click: An Empirical Analysis of Online Dating”, by Günter J. Hitsch and Ali Hortaçsu of the University of Chicago and Dan Ariely of MIT, is worth examining, women with photos receive more than twice as many emails and men receive about 50% more emails than members who did not post a photo but describe themselves as having “average looks.” This proves that looks play a very important part in online dating, just as they do in traditional dating.

So, whether you're a www.match.com or www.matchlink.com member, show your pearly whites and post a photo today!

Winter chills Singles with National Break-Up Season

2008-01-23T13:22:00.000-06:00

You thought the temperatures were low enough to cramp your social life - now according to Yahoo! Personals, research shows the period between the startof winter and Valentine's Day is when people are most likely to re-assess their relationships. It's never easy to end a relationship around the holidays. According to recent research, 84% of respondents who were asked if they have ever stayed in a relationship just to have a partner during the season, said no. After a breakup, some take time to sink their energy into work, others are far too upset and find themselves fixated on eating Ben and Jerry's and watching Jerry McGuire. Whether someone, 'had you at hello,' or not, it's time to move on.

To prevent rocky rebounds, keep your head clear and don’t expect every date to be "the one." Browsing sites like Matchlink.com or Webfriends.com can keep your mind off that dreadful ex and foster new, healthy relationships. Time will heal your broken heart; but in the meantime, don't miss out on meeting someone that could forever keep your winters wonderful.

Methodology: National Break-Up Season Survey Data is a result of an Opinion Research Corporation CARAVAN survey conductedon behalf of Yahoo! Personals June 28-July 2, 2007 among 2,070 adults 18years and older, and a follow-up survey conducted July 7-July 11, 2007among 1,017 respondents.

Internet Dating Companies Look International for Expansion

2008-01-23T10:59:00.000-06:00

As far back as the Paleolithic era, there have been matchmakers. Primitive man probably exchanged their daughters for a good spear or loin cloth at some point. In the middle ages, families exchanged their daughters for labor, land, goods, and even status.

Some know them by the Yiddish term "Shadchen." And you probably thought the correct term was "Yenta," but it's not (I admit I did too). A Yenta is simply a gossipy woman. In almost every society, a community member set himself or herself up as the person to set up unions.

Enter the Internet. In the late 1990's, online dating began to take market share from the dominant matchmaking tool of the time--newspaper voice personals. The internet could simply do some things better. After all, physical attraction is a big part of the equation and the internet could show a picture, even if the photo was taken ten years or thirty pounds ago.

Today, there are over one thousand internet dating sites in the USA alone. They vary from the highly publicized brands like eHarmony and Match to niche sites like JDate that cater exclusively to Jewish singles--without the Shadchen. Proprieters vary from large companies to entrepreneurial sites run off of entrepreneur's home office laptops.

The internet dating industry rang up $649 million in sales in 2006, and eclipsed $700 million in 2007, according to Juniper Research. Of the 92 million unmarried adult Americans 18 or older, 16 million have tried online dating, according to the Pew Internet and Social Lifestyle Study. That's a lot of clicks, or people hoping to click.

Internet dating has been around since the late 1990's, but it exploded in 2003 with a 77% growth rate. Growth has slowed to 10% recently partly because of competition from the recent phenomenon known as social networking sites. With sites such as Facebook, you can essentially flirt for free. Just like in the Paleolithic era.

In the face of declining growth, online dating brands such as MatchLink, operated by Spark Network Services, are looking overseas for growth. Expanding internationally, however, comes with some cultural challenges. In Japan, for example, it isn't really necessary to ask for hair color, because there really aren't too many blondes. Then, there's cultures like China and India where it's important to adhere to the local traditions.

International expansion is definitely the way to grow the industry. "We've enhanced our offering to include a more international dating database," said Bob Bentz, director of marketing for Spark. "You really need to think global and act local in today's online dating world."
Like with most products, the real jewel for international expansion appears to be China and India. Sixty million internet users are of marrying age in China, according to iResearch, and that market segment alone will grow to 128 million by 2010. Already, 14 million Chinese use online dating, but only 500,000 pay for the service, thus creating a marketplace where advertiser-sponsored services must be the norm.

In India, where up to 90% of all marriages are arranged, local online dating companies are already racking up some impressive numbers. A local site, Shaadi, already boasts having arranged 800,000 marriages. Online dating revenues in India are growing by 50% per year and hit $30 million in 2006.

The growth in China and India prove that when it comes to online dating, love needs no translation.

The 2nd First Impresson

2008-01-20T10:37:00.000-06:00

Before online and mobile dating entered the singles arena, more traditional ways of meeting someone took place at bars, parties, gyms, and even in the workplace. What is it about seeing someone for the first time that makes your heart patter? Whatever it was, it was something that you saw.

Today, first impressions are not about what you first see, but what you learn about a person by reading their profile online, or interacting via text message. How do they spend their free time? What kind of career do they have? Do they have kids? Where did they grow up? Do they like to play or watch sports? What are their political views?

Seeing the person that has captured your interest through online dating is the last thing that happens when people connect nowadays, not the first! It is the polar opposite of what dating used to be. Therefore, if you really think about it, modern technology has provided potential daters with the ever-elusive second chance at a first impression! It’s the first time you actually meet face to face, in the flesh. It’s the Second First Impression.

Relating to this are the color preferences between the sexes. Why? Well, because what’s the first question everyone asks themselves and any friend who will listen when they are looking forward to that first in-the-flesh meeting? What should I wear?

Studies suggest that everyone likes blue. It is the color that receives the most votes across the board, regardless of age or gender. Purple however, is the second most favorite among women, whereas it is the overall least favorite of men. Green gets 14% of the votes for both men and women. Orange is equally low among both sexes, as is brown, yellow and white.

These are important statistics to know in this cyber world for several reasons, beyond knowing what to wear on the Second First Impression date.

For example, what does your social networking page look like? If you are a woman, trying to attract men, by all means, do not make purple your dominant design color. Remember, men do not like it, and may click right past your page.

Then there’s your font color. Are you a girl who likes to send text messages in Dark Cyan or Bright Magenta? A Dark Blue or Dark Green will be much better received!

Third, and most obvious, is The Outfit. Among both sexes, orange is the color that people tend to associate with being cheap and inexpensive. Blue is appealing to most, and seems to have a calming and relaxing affect. With black getting only a 1% vote for least favorite among men and white getting 3% for least favorite color among women, you can use these color preferences to put together an appealing, Second First Impression outfit with no problem at all!

Liar, Liar

2007-10-24T14:14:00.000-05:00

With over 96 million singles in America, you’d think dating would be a piece of cake.
However, the competition among singles in the dating arena can become fierce when it comes to finding “the one.” The appetite of some singles is so great; they’ll do anything to get a bite of the action, even lie!

Country Singer, Brad Paisley hit the nail on the head in his new country song “Online,” where the chorus shouts: “I’m so much cooler online.” Meaning, so many singles talk themselves up online and describe themselves as looking like Cindy Crawford or Matthew McConaughey. Everyone knows dating online will eventually be taken offline – where you meet your cyber match in person, so why not tell the truth from the beginning?

Dating honestly is important, and to attain your best possible match, you have to apply truth to your profile, photos and conversation with other singles. The consequences of lying to your matches will only result in missing out on meeting someone that you could have spent the rest of your life with.

A service online called LoveDetect caters to those singles that are in search for true love with truthful singles! With LoveDetect, Voice Analysis Technology reveals how your date or lover feels about you. LoveDetect, http://www.lovedetect.com/, is for initiating a first date proposal or deciding whether to continue with someone after the first or second date. After those initial dates, you shouldn’t need the LoveDetect to tell you what the score is. Voice patterns reflect the internal thought-process, or "brain activity", as it takes place during general conversation or direct questioning. Because of the extreme complexity of the vocal mechanism, our brain monitors it very closely. As our thoughts change our voice patterns change. LoveDetect actually measures and categorizes these patterns. Being yourself does pay off, painting a better picture of yourself, will only prolong your search for someone real, someone who appreciates the real you.

A helpful honest hint would be to slow down when filling out your online dating profile, take your time and complete all areas of the enrollment page which will give you a great reflection of yourself. Your dating profile is your tool to create a lasting impression in the online dating world. Post real photos of you and create a profile that highlights your qualities. Everyone has imperfections, so anyone who says they don’t, is lying.

At the end of the day the Golden Rule seems to be deeply rooted into even dating:
‘Treat others as you want to be treated.’
