Psychologists recently suggested that dating online daily adds a great boost to your confidence.
According to studies, online dating is a liberating experience for women, making them feel surer of themselves. This boosted confidence could benefit them in their day-to-day life.
Online dating is an empowering experience for many women because they feel more confident flirting and asking for what they need in cyberspace than in face-to-face situations.
According to sex and relationship psychologist Dr Petra Boynton, women should use online dating as a means to improve their confidence outside the internet.

A recent poll showed that Kylie Minogue was the male singleton’s most desired partner. No.2 was the sexy actress Denise van Outen who used to date Jamiroquai.
About her split from long term fella Olivier Martinez earlier this year, Kylie was recently quoted “I have to accept my life for its triumphs and its other sides, take the good with the bad. I experienced a totally new environment. I experienced a world of illness and positive attitudes”.
The 39-year-old singer, who was recently presented with the Music Industry Trusts’ Award, also revealed that she suffered from depression when she couldn’t work because of her exhausting chemotherapy treatment.
“I had the feeling I’d been stopped in the middle of a flight. A tour needs to gain momentum. It’s just like riding a bike, you need to pedal to gather speed”, she said.
“Suddenly, I was torn off the seat, aside from all the other things that happened to me. The depression suddenly came over but I had the goal of continuing the tour, and thinking back it was a blessing in disguise. I had to prove I had what it takes to continue what I had done in the past”, she added.
It’s no secret that we all tend to be working twice as hard as previous generations. The reason… we want more, and so do our employers – so work harder to generate more money.
It’s a sad thought I agree, but that’s our western society I’m afraid. This massive shift has led to a huge increase in office romances. Think about it… we are all working so much harder so when do we get chance to find a mate? In the chair next to yours of course!
A new book has just been launched called “Office Mate: The Employee Handbook for Finding - and Managing - Romance on the Job” which will help you understand the pros and cons of dating in the office.
The author of the book recently said “Your office is your little village,” “And most relationships that evolve in the office tend to evolve from friendships and not from instant physical attraction. In a certain way, office relationships are more old-fashioned.”
The book is of course American, but gloss over all that and the principals are exactly the same everywhere else. According to the authors, 50% of the respondents to a survey admitted dating a co-worker.

The below is a result of numerous research carried out by experts:
White
White reflects light, cleanliness, innocence and purity. It goes with pretty much anything and is a strong neutral colour.
Black
Black commands authority and power. It also makes people appear thinner believe it or not. Black is also a colour of submission (e.g. a priest wears black in submission to God).
Blue
Blue reflects peace as it’s the opposite of red. It actually causes the body to release calming chemicals. But beware, the wrong shade of blue can be depressing and cold. Blue also reflects loyalty, and studies have shown that people are actually more productive in blue rooms!

You can do too much dating you know… the pressure is on for you to succeed with all your mates and family eagerly asking you on a daily basis whether ‘last night’s date was the one!’
If you’ve been dating for a while without settling with one particular partner then you also become tired of having the same conversations with each different date. The end result its that you get tired and very bored of dating!
All the effort you put into meeting someone new is also a huge stress – the calls, emails, the adrenalin rush (when you like them), the late nights … the list goes on!
The truth of the matter is that if we keep looking for that certain someone you just don’t find them I’m afraid. Yep, you may have a few sexy nights with different partners but does that make you really that happy – then you start thinking and get even more tired thinking about it!
If his sounds like you, you are not alone I’m pleased to tell you. There is a solution I am pleased to say… TAKE A BREAK FROM DATING!
It’s as easy as that. Stop going to those singles nights, speed dating lunches and meeting prospects online when you get back home… turn the computer off and chill out!
You’re more likely to find someone if you do this anyway because you will be relaxed and truly at peace with yourself for a change!
