It’s something all us have had to endure on a weekly basis normally, if not in a professional environment then a personal one. Strangely enough, in a professional environment we seem to be able to take it a lot better, but when it’s our personal one… then most of us are sensitive enough for it to be taken personally – it’s human nature I’m afraid.
This article is about dating and rejection. When we get knocked back we feel small, insignificant, insecure and unwanted. It’s so easy to look inwardly at this stage ad this is the worst thing you can do.
There are loads of different forms of rejection and almost every scenario is different. From an unfaithful partner, to being left at the wedding alter to your date not turning up they all feel the same but obviously have different levels of severe ness and knock on effects.

SO… how does a man get noticed I hear you say? Well, it’s down to your approach of course. Posting a picture and a good profile is one thing, and once you have this sorted you only need worry about the very first email.
A good email response.
This is make or break guys and you need to make every approach individual in order to attract the attention of a particular person.

Dover – A popular port to France it also offers one of England’s most famous landmarks ‘The While Cliffs of Dover’. On a good day you can clearly see France. There’s a load to do here including Dover Castle and Secret Wartime Tunnels. If you like a bit of exploration then you must go to the tunnels, they lie deep underground - first dug during the Napoleonic Wars, but strategically useful through the 20th century. There’s even a ghost tour at the castle. The scenery is breathtaking when you get to the rural parts.

Picture this; you have been getting excited for a week at the prospect of meeting your new found online love. Only thing is that you have never seen them… well maybe just a face photo and you have a good idea as to their personality, but what will they dress like or behave like?
What would you do if your date turned up looking like this?
Many of my friends have had hilarious experiences with blind and online dates that could only come out of a book of genius comedy. One male friend in particular met a girl who came across really cool online, but when he met her dress sense was from the 80’s… but the dark side, and she stank of meat (her dad was a butcher)!!! She drew a lot of unwanted attention to say the least.
Many people also upload photos to their profile from their best era when they were half decent looking – the worst case of this is a man who uploaded a photo of when he was 19… he’s now 52, balding and fat! You also can’t tell what they are going to behave like out in public or dress like, which can be a concern. It highlights that your line of questioning before you meet them should be rigorous.
So, what can you do if you find yourself on a date with a total embarrassment?

It’s a fact, desperate housewives and lonely girlfriends are more likely to stray from their fellas these days. Look at the stats: since 1970 a lady is 27% more likely to stray!
Why is this I hear you say… well, you can blame the internet and mobile revolution for most of it – it’s so much easier to have a discreet relationship! Women have (rightfully) claimed their equality which means; fast cars, high powered jobs, and independence. Women are no longer expected to stay at home and bring up the kids. We are all working so many more hours because we modern business demands it and we all want more, therefore partners are becoming lonely and when the need arises… the need arises!
Men are slightly different (so research indicates), monogamy isn’t in a man’s nature – only dedication to the other half keeps them (well, some of them) faithful. Monogamy for women on the other hand is entirely natural as they look to mate and then bring up the kids. Their fellas are working harder than ever and therefore longer too, so this could be another reason why they get bored.
