I love writing about dating crazes, and this one truly takes the biscuit!
Devised by a Los Angeles company called OneKeyAway this new means of meeting someone combines technology with a social environment (party).
Before parties, guests register online and complete questionnaires. The answers are then transferred to digital memory devices — red, plastic squares slightly larger than a matchbox — that the guests wear like necklaces.
When on an early date it’s quite easy to dry up. I’m not talking about alcohol (but that helps), I’m talking conversation. Maybe they are boring or you don’t like them, but awkward silences really are awkward on a date!!!
Whatever you do don’t talk crap and babble a load of rubbish to keep it going for the sake of it – it’s a sign of nerves and is very unattractive to the opposite sex.
Try some of the following:
• Ask some questions (see this post) that present some laughter opportunities. Questions that will get them chatty and more comfortable with the situation are great ice breakers.
• Go for a walk. It may be the environment that is the problem, do something spontaneous like go for a quiet stroll (in a populated area of course). Physical movement will spur conversation and expend that nervous energy.
• Talk about music. Everyone has an opinion and can talk forever about bands they’ve seen or their musical taste in general.
Robbie has found his Angel in model Clare Staples who is apparently completely smitten with. He met the 6 foot beauty at LA’s Chateau Marmont Hotel. She is six years older than him and used to date hypnotist Paul McKenna.
“They couldn’t keep their hands to themselves. No one could take their eyes off Robbie and Clare because they were all over each other. He was constantly touching her legs and whispering in her ear,” News of the World quoted a source as saying.
Financial Situation - You’ve got your financial situation under control, which is a very desirable quality. Be careful to avoid women who are only interested in your money. Friendliness - Your friendliness makes you approachable and fun to be around. A wide circle of friends also works to your advantage on the dating scene. Adventurousness - You are willing to try new things and be spontaneous. You want to get out there and really live, and you will attract people with a similar love of life. Varied Interests - You don’t limit yourself, and that’s a dating asset. Your varied interests make you available and interesting to a wider range of women. Flirtiness - Flirting is a good way to break the ice, and you are a pro at it. Being flirtatious will open up many dating opportunities.
Dating Weaknesses Explained
Appearance - Devoting a greater effort at making good first impressions is a must. Try to be fit and develop a style if you want to catch a woman’s attention. Selfishness - You think too much of yourself and your needs. You must learn to put your partner first and tend to her needs.
Every now and then a funky little idea comes along, and in this instance it’s from California in the form of WingGirlsUSA.com. It works just like the male ‘wing man’ concept whereby you take your buddy out with you for some support on the battlefields (clbs,pubs etc).
In this instance however, a fella can hire a lady for a night who will basically help you make introductions to birds that you fancy. So it’s almost like going out with your sister who has the ‘balls’ to go and make the introduction for you. I bet the founder Raelaine San Buenaventura is great fun herself to come up with this!
