:Are You Ready To Date Again? Before You Meet Someone Someone:Are our relationship ended through breakup or divorce. You put the past behind you and you're eager to date again. But are you really sure you're ready? Play it safe and see if you are truly dating material yet: You are ready to date again if: 1) You take some responsibility for the past breakup no matter what the circumstances. - You say, "But you don't know my ex and what he/she put me through." I say "My divorce could have been scripted for a blockbuster horror film", but the fact is, it takes 2 to make or break a relationship. If you are able to take some responsibility, you will be less likely to exhibit a bitter attitude about the past relationship, and that's a huge plus to the potential new relationship. 2) You can find things about the past relationship that made you a better person. - All relationships teach us lessons in one way or another. What lessons did you receive and how did you grow? How did the past make you a better person for the next partner? 3) You can communicate with friends, co-workers and family without rehashing your past breakup. - Can you make it through a day without referring to your ex-partner? Or is the breakup always on your mind? Have you gotten past the affair, the wrong-doing, the emptiness, to the point that it doesn't cross your mind for weeks at a time? If so, you will be more inclined to leave your past pain out of the new relationship. 4) You can be honest about your past without the need to overpower your date. - While honesty is important, there is no need to exhume all the gory details. That's just bad energy that doesn't belong in a new relationship. No one likes a victim and even if you are truly healed, you may appear the martyr if you go into detail. A love interest may feel the right to ask certain questions so they can best determine your character. An appropriate response to any inquiry about your past breakup/divorce could be "My (divorce/breakup) really helped me to look at myself a little closer and make necessary changes. I'd be glad to answer more questions as we get to know each other, but right now I'm interested in learning more about you". 5) You are comfortable being alone. -That's right; if you feel okay by yourself and you are content doing things solo, you are ready to date. If on the other hand, you are uneasy being alone, even on a Saturday night, you may need to look at the reasons. Do you need the approval of someone else to make you feel loved or valued? Do you feel inadequate and run away instead of working on yourself? The fact is, you may be able to hide a lack of confidence temporarily, but it won't be long before a potential partner senses it and runs for the hills. Above all else, remember this fundamental fact before you go on the dating market. You will attract the type of person that most matches your current state of mind. If you are stuck in a quagmire of resentment over a past relationship, you may find yourself sitting across the restaurant table from a potential mate that experiences the same thing in his/her life. And who wants that? Or if you are desperate to find a partner to relieve your anxiety of being alone, you may eventually find the date sitting by your side in the theater has as low a level of self-esteem as you. And a relationship like that will most surely cause more heartache down the road. Make sure you feel whole, confident and happy just the way you are, and then you'll know you are truly ready to date!

To overcome loneliness, meeting people and making contact are necessary steps that we need to take. However, it is important to note that contact in and of themselves just aren't sufficient. One must meet the right person in the right way. Having said that, contacts with other people are still a required action. If you believe that a large part of your loneliness problem could be solved by meeting the right person or persons, here are some suggestions to help you out. 1. Become a regular visitor to places that are likely to attract persons with values and interests similar to yours. Places of common interest can include galleries, museums, libraries, music stores and antique stores. 2. Join a club. Clubs are automatic magnets for people with similar values and interests. Toastmasters clubs, line dancing clubs, Yoga clubs and writer's clubs are all examples of clubs where you can easily meet and develop close relationship with people. 3. Take a class. Classes are offered to adults by community colleges, extension divisions of universities, city recreational departments, and so forth. Evening classes in particular are a great way to meet people. 4. Become active in your community and volunteer yourself in charitable organizations. Not only are these activities constructive in nature, they are also excellent ways to get out into the world and meet people. 5. If you have no tendency to abuse alcohol, become a regular visitor to a local bar or pub. At the bar, people can easily mix around and get to know each other. However, if you are likely to abuse alcohol, you need to stay away from bars. 6. Make yourself available for any social events that you are invited. Wedding, birthday party, high school reunion...etc are all excellent places to get to know people, new and old alike. 7. Subscribe to an Online Service. Popular online services include Yahoo Personals, Match.com, FriendFinder and Perfectmatch. However, do practice common sense and take safety precautions especially when dealing with strangers online you have never met before. In order to meet people you must reach out, you must become an active agent. You can't just be passive and expect people to find you. You must move toward them. Yes, some will draw away or display a lack of interest. But, on the whole, you will find that people are pleased when you take the first step. It takes the burden of initiating contact off of them, and they need only respond if they are interested. And, more often than not, they are.

How to Flirt Everyone experiences flirting at some stage in their life, whether it is intentional or unintentional and it plays a very important part in finding that special person which could possibly lead to a thriving relationship. The key principle of flirting is to send out signals to others that you are attracted to them and would like to get closer to them. When flirting, the most important thing to remember is that it should be fun. If you do not enjoy flirting, this will be apparent to people you are forcing yourself to flirt with and will certainly put them off you before you even get to know them. It is also vital that you have a positive attitude, which can be an attractive feature to others, as you are more likely to have success with an optimistic outlook. When carried out correctly flirting makes you feel good and confident, and it also makes the person you are flirting with feel good as everyone likes to receive flattering attention. Flirting can bring two people closer together and also be very sexy. It is important that you recognise when you are being flirted with, otherwise you may possibly miss out on a potential date. Often the best flirting moments happen when you are not expecting them, so there is no need to worry about planning a time to flirt. It is vital that you get the balance of flirting just right. Too much flirting can ruin a good situation and too little can give the impression that you are not interested. Flirting Do's and Don'ts Getting flirting right cannot be underestimated.

This will help to keep conversation flowing plus show that you are an interesting happy person. • Try to ask questions to the person you are flirting with.

This is a good idea especially if you have been introduced by a friend as it can help to break the ice. • Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. By showing an interest in them you are showing that you are considerate and genuinely enjoy their company. • Casually touch the person you are flirting with on the arm or hand to show that you are interested in them but be careful not to overdo it. • Make sure you sit up straight with your chin held high. Sitting or standing tall gives you the confidence you need for perfect flirting moments. • Always offer your hand to shake if introduced by a friend. This automatically informs the other person that you are genuinely pleased to meet them. Use this opportunity to see how long your hand is held for. A warm handshake may set the flirting moment off to an excellent start. • When starting a discussion, try to use phrases such as "I think" or "I wonder". By starting a sentence this way you are leaving the discussion open for the other person to share their opinion. As you practice these techniques, you will become an expert at flirting without overdoing it. You will also learn how to relax and really enjoy yourself. Flirting - Don'ts Getting flirting wrong is unfortunately very easy. With the intention of attracting someone, you could actually find yourself scaring them away before you have even said a word. You want to give the impression that you are genuine and want to get to know them, not to come across as being uninterested or only after a physical relationship. If you avoid the following classic flirting disasters at all costs, you will have many successful flirting moments. • It is crucial that you avoid tasteless chat-up lines. Chat-up lines instantly put people off and are a major catastrophe for flirting. • Try not to fidget. Fidgeting shows that you are nervous and uncomfortable, which are not characteristics you want to show your flirting partner. • Make an effort not to look down to the ground while flirting. Make sure you look at the eyes of the person you are flirting with to show you are keen and paying attention to them. At the same time, remember not to stare at them. You want regular eye contact holding their gaze slightly longer than usual. • Avoid using phrases such as "y'know" or "yeah". These phrases may make you look uneducated and a possible turn-off for many. • Don't cross your arms across your chest while flirting. This gives the impression that you are defensive and untrusting towards others, which is not the impression you want to give out when flirting. • When having a discussion, don't use sounds such as "erm" or "huh". These are sounds that will make you sound anxious and uncomfortable.
