I want to tell you about my FREE dating advice servce.  I have had a passion for dating since I was a nippa (quite a long time now then ;->).  I have experienced huge amounts of emotions and situations when it comes to the dating game, broken a couple of hearts and had my heart broken… it happens.  I want to help you lot undertstand the trials and tribulations of dating in this era.  The introduction of the internet has made some massive changes to the way we date, and to be honest with all the mediums that have now been introduced (i.e. speed dating, team dating, online dating, dating in the dark… need I go on!) the whole experience has become more complex.

I have a passion for all things to do with dating and the human psyche in various situations.  Sometimes you need an outsiders view on thoughts and situations, ‘a problem shared is a problem halved’ and all that.  What you go to lose?  I may list your questions in my dating servce category, but will of course keep it entirely confidential.

I noticed a site the other day where you have to pay $19 for a piece of advice!  I’m all in to making some beer money now and again, but how can you guarantee the advice will be any good!  At least when you ask me it won’t cost you a bean and you can take or leave the advice.

Every culture has its own customs and different ways of doing things to what we may be used to.  Dating our own culture can sometimes be a challenge, let alone learning about another set of cultures and etiquette.  For instance you wouldn’t kiss the left hand of your Maasi girlfriend or boyfriend as it would probably have been used to wipe their bum 30 minutes before hand.

Respect every cultures dating etiquette as it is bound to be different from what you know!

Hello, I have a girl in mind but I am hesitant to ask her out.

I have never talked to her, I purely want to date her because she is attractive and becuase she seems polite when she talks to her friends. Now this is the first time I am going to ask someone out (I am 16), so I am very nervous. I was thinking something of along the lines of this: Going up to her after our third period class together and stopping her in the hall, saying this: Hey, sorry, this might seem weird, but I’m going to be frank, I think you’re really cute, and that you seem to have a great personallity, so I thought I’d give this a try: If you don’t have a boyfriend or anything, I thought maybe we can hang out sometime and get to know eachother?” If she says something along the lines of “yes” I would ask for her phone number.

Dear fightclubsoap

Your story is one that is emailed to me regularly..

Everyone’s circumstances are different of course but I think I know where you are coming from.  It is a brave move to go straight up to someone and ask them out so you are obviously a confident man.  I would suggest a slightly different approach, one that worked for me really well;

Go up to her, preferably when she is alone or with only one friend and look directly into her eyes, your body language should be confident so keep your shoulders back and body straight (check out my body language section)  - this is really important as you are taking the lead in the situation.  Take a big deep breath before you do it so as you are really chilled out when you do it.  You should act interested, BUT relaxed about the asking.

OK, so now you are facing her and you have her attention, be direct (as you were planning) and very casually ask whether she would like to come to a party / concert / picnic with you.  Don’t be so blatant as to ask whether she has a boyfriend or not - remember - ‘YOU ARE WHAT THIS GIRL NEEDS’.  What you can’t do is be too upfront with her as it is too easy for her to say ‘NO’.

The venue choice is very important and something that could seal the deal for you (check out my tips on venue and my essential ideas for the first date).  Is there anything going on in your town soon that would be viewed as ultra cool?  The venue choice will be an extension of your coolness.  I’d recommend a picnic in a park or something, and take a Frisbee so you can interact a little.  Also take your iPod or MP3 player so you can talk about music and what you both like.  When it comes to preparing the food, do this yourself - ladies just love the fact that you have made the effort for them.

Go for it dude, and let me know how you get on!

What a great move, the Japanese government has cut the required work hours for all hard working salarymen in a bid to increase their health as well as love live (leading to virality!)

Workers who do more than 40 hours ‘overtime’ a month will earn the right to take a day off lieu the following month.  Apparwntly most of Japan’s workers do over 60 hours a week, and these figures are thought to be conservative.
