    <title>What If Your Girlfriend Hangs Up On You</title>
    <link>http://www.dating-site-advisor.com/online-dating-sites-blog.html#What-If-Your-Girlfriend-Hangs-Up-On-You</link>
    <description>A question I often get is, Marius, what should I do if a woman hangs up on me?

Well, it depends on the situation.

If shes a girl youve just met or are just dating casually, then just delete her number and move on. (Good riddance!)

But if she is your girlfriend, then things are a bit trickier since youre kind of in a lose-lose situation:

If you call back, her romantic respect and attraction may drop, and if you dont, the incident could be used against you in the future. (It doesnt matter whos right and whos wrong. All she will remember is that she cried for hours because you didnt call back.)

&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://banners.adultfriendfinder.com/piclist?message=0&amp;p=text_links&amp;pid=g787290-pmo&amp;rand=15&amp;this_page=banners_text_links&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

So here is what I suggest:

After she hangs up on you, call her back ONCE and see if she answers. If she does, then good. But if she doesnt, then simply leave a message telling her to call you back and then DO NOT CALL AGAIN UNTIL SHE DOES.

If she doesnt call for a week, then dont call for a week.

This way, you will demonstrate you *have* tried calling back, but she was the one who didnt accept it. And since you did not keep on calling her like a little puppy, her romantic respect for you shouldnt lower.

    <title>How To Use Motorcycles To Meet Women</title>
    <link>http://www.dating-site-advisor.com/online-dating-sites-blog.html#How-To-Use-Motorcycles-To-Meet-Women</link>
    <description>Heres a funny little technique that a friend of mine uses to meet women

On a nice day, he will take out his motorcycle to the sidewalk, takes it apart completely, and puts it back together to fix it.

Women jogging or walking by will often stop to ask him about his bike. He will then build rapport with these girls and get their numbers.

&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://banners.adultfriendfinder.com/piclist?message=0&amp;p=text_links&amp;pid=g787290-pmo&amp;rand=15&amp;this_page=banners_text_links&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I have yet to try out this technique because I do not own a motorcycle myself. But for those of you with bikes, it might be worth a try!

    <title>What You Get Depends On Where You Hunt</title>
    <link>http://www.dating-site-advisor.com/online-dating-sites-blog.html#What-You-Get-Depends-On-Where-You-Hunt</link>
    <description>Here is something important to remember when you go out to meet women:

What you get will depend on where you hunt.

For example, if you want a sporty girl, then you should sign up for a fitness class.

If you want a smart girl, then you should go to a bookstore or library.

If you want a good girl, then you should volunteer somewhere.

If you want a groupie, then you should start your own band. (Yes, it works.)

And so on

Obviously, this sounds like common sense, but it always amazes me how many guys like to whine about not meeting the kind of women they like when they arent even going to the right places.

&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://banners.adultfriendfinder.com/piclist?message=0&amp;p=text_links&amp;pid=g787290-pmo&amp;rand=15&amp;this_page=banners_text_links&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

For example, I have readers who go to strip clubs to try to pick up exotic dancers, and then they write me to complain about how the dancers like to flake out during dates or how they seem to be only after their money.

No offence, but if you go to a strip club to pick up women, can you really expect to find a good girl? The chances are slim, because when your goals do not align with reality, the chances of you finding happiness will be quite low.

The kind of women you meet are going to depend a lot on the environment. If theres a particular group of women that you like, then think about what sort of environment theyll most likely be in. And if you dont like the women in your current environment/social circle, then do yourself a favour AND GET OUT!

Simple tip, but it can increase your success in dating dramatically if you actually apply it.

    <title>Managing Long Distance Love (Part 3)</title>
    <link>http://www.dating-site-advisor.com/online-dating-sites-blog.html#Managing-Long-Distance-Love-(Part-3)</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;When You Meet&lt;/b&gt; 

It would seem that finally seeing your partner should be a walk in the park after so much time spent apart. But many couples seem to find these shared moments harder than you might imagine. Awkward silences, nervousness, and even arguments can spoil what you planned to be a magical time. Remember, you've been used to a certain type of communication for a long period of time. Suddenly changing it can be a shock to how you relate to each other.

And with every visit, sadly, comes the time that you'll have to say goodbye again.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-1490032-10474282&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.ftjcfx.com/image-1490032-10474282&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; alt=&quot;Lavalife dating offer&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

As Sylvia puts it, &quot;The first week apart is OK. By the end of the second week, I start to fall apart and he joins me there within a day or two. By the third and fourth week, we're both very depressed. Within a week or two, we usually have a fight over the phone, which makes us more depressed. We slowly climb out of it, and by the sixth week, we can start looking forward to seeing each other again.

&quot;I figure we've got two more goodbyes left before one of us will have to move.&quot;</description>

    <title>Managing Long Distance Love (Part 2)</title>
    <link>http://www.dating-site-advisor.com/online-dating-sites-blog.html#Managing-Long-Distance-Love-(Part-2)</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;Speaking of Sex&lt;/b&gt; 

Sometimes you just want to feel the warm touch of another person. What if the person you love isn't around and won't be around for a long, long time? Even worse, what if the person you love is feeling the same way as you right now? What if they give in to their primal urges? 

This is one of the major worries of couples in a LDR. However, as Dr. Guldner says, studies actually show that &quot;couples in long distance relationships had no greater risk of having an affair than geographically close couples.&quot; That comes as surprisingly good news to most, but then Guldner tells us that despite the stats, those in LDRs &quot; worry much more about affairs than those in geographically close relationships.&quot; 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-1490032-10483577&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-1490032-10483577&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; alt=&quot;Lavalife Dating&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Guldner describes it this way: &quot;Because they cannot visually monitor their partner in the same way as a geographically close couple can, they sometimes create a fantasy world in which their partner is cheating. This fantasy often would be dispelled in a geographically close relationship... In an LDR this monitoring is far more difficult and these fantasies can get out of hand.&quot;  

&lt;b&gt;Bridging the Distance&lt;/b&gt; 

So what do you do to somehow feel closer? Well, ongoing communication is key. We're not just talking about chatting on the phone once every day or two. These days, we're blessed with the technology of e-mail, webcams, and text messaging to keep communication constant. As Sylvia says, &quot;If I hear a song that I think Anders will like, it's easy to just send it to him in an e-mail and tell him that it reminds me of him. That way he knows that I'm thinking of him all the time.&quot;  

Dr. Guldner specifies that it's not just talking about the 'big' issues and emotions that you should focus on. Making sure your partner knows about that squeaky floorboard, the cat you saw at your front door, or your day-to-day life in general can be just as important. He says, &quot;The problem is when you get a couple that is very good at sharing the deep emotional things but doesn't know anything about each other's lives.&quot;</description>

    <link>http://www.dating-site-advisor.com/online-dating-sites-blog.html#Managing-Long-Distance-Love</link>
    <description>&lt;i&gt;By Ambrose Diaz&lt;/i&gt;

Whether you're separated by a couple of hours or a continent, a long distance relationship is tough going. 

Most people find relationships taking place in the same area code hard enough. Add some distance to the mix and there are many grounds for concern. It's a type of relationship that's fraught with peril and the odds are stacked against you, but it can work.   

&lt;b&gt;Survey Says...&lt;/b&gt; 

The good news for those embroiled in a long distance relationship, or LDR, is that studies run by the U.S.-based Center for the Study of Long Distance Relationships say there is no greater risk of an LDR breaking up than a regular relationship. OK, so all these LDR people are staying together, but they're probably completely miserable, right?   

Well, Dr. Gregory Guldner, Director of the Center and author of Long Distance Relationships , says that when comparing what he calls &quot;relationship satisfaction,&quot; between long distance and regular relationships, the two groups were completely identical. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1490032-10474282&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;

That doesn't change the fact that LDRs somehow seem to tussle with our emotions more than regular relationships. Sylvia lives in Toronto, Canada and for the past four years has been dating Anders, who plies his trade as a carpenter in Malmo, Sweden. &quot;It's probably the hardest thing I've ever done,&quot; says Sylvia. The couple usually sees each other in person twice every year for about a month at a time. &quot;I can't really appreciate being with him until the visit is almost over... that's sad.&quot; 

&lt;b&gt;Intimacy&lt;/b&gt; 

One of the main drawbacks to the LDR is lack of sex. While sex is often best with someone who is, in fact, in the same room as you, don't knock the idea of getting hot and bothered on the phone or online. In fact, setting up some fantasies to come true at your next meeting can really get the juices flowing. The trick with long distance intimacy is to try to plan ahead and set some time aside for your rendezvous. It'll be something you look forward long in advance.</description>

    <title>Surviving as a Single (Final Part)</title>

    <description>&lt;b&gt;Single in the Great Outdoors&lt;/b&gt; 

From the camping trips of youth to the chalet getaways of adulthood, soft adventure travel seems at first glance to be something you should do with a partner. But that's far from the case. In fact, singles' adventure tours are one of the fastest-growing demographics in the travel industry. 

&lt;b&gt;Look at small group travel as an alternative to solo travel&lt;/b&gt;

&quot;You get a lot of pampering,&quot; says Dave Wiggins of Austin-Lehman Adventures, who are adding more singles programs to their calendar to accommodate increasing demand. &quot;If you haven't done biking, horseback, etc. you'll have a lot of people to help you.&quot; 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1490032-10474282&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.awltovhc.com/image-1490032-10474282&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; alt=&quot;Lavalife dating offer&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Broaden your horizons&lt;/b&gt;

&quot;Generally if you go with groups of friends, you do the same things over and over again,&quot; says Wiggins. (Too true -- hence the whole &quot;Guys Weekend in Vegas&quot; thing.)  &quot;Going somewhere alone, with people you don't know, you're more apt to try something new.&quot;  If everyone is in this adventurous mindset, it creates a very supportive, encouraging environment for singles. &quot;Fellow travelers and guides will coax you up that last mile, to climb that last peak, to see the 360-degree view from the summit.&quot; 

&lt;b&gt;Don't look to hook up&lt;/b&gt;

If it happens, it happens. But most singles' tours are not an excuse to meet potential mates. &quot;People tend to be there because they like an active lifestyle. They're looking for new experiences, to learn a bit about a destination, to really come away enriched in a lot of different ways,&quot; says Wiggins. 

And if you meet the love of your life along the way...well, that's just a bonus.</description>

    <title>Surviving as a Single (Con't)</title>
    <link>http://www.dating-site-advisor.com/online-dating-sites-blog.html#Surviving-as-a-Single-(Cont)</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;Single At the Wedding&lt;/b&gt; 

We originally thought this was the most potentially painful situation, but former femme fatale and unlikely wedding-mag writer Charyn Pfeuffer showed us a whole new perspective. 

&lt;b&gt;Single + Wedding = No-Strings-Attached Fun&lt;/b&gt; 

&quot;It's very easy to get caught up in the throes of l-o-v-e, celebration and togetherness when you're at a wedding,&quot; says Pfeuffer. Plus, she adds, &quot;Everyone is there to have fun, and if your idea of fun involves a little below-the-belt action, it's the perfect place to indulge... as long as you're behind hotel room doors.&quot; She recommends scouting your potential playmate at the rehearsal dinner, laying the foundation early on, and &quot;going in for the kill&quot; at the reception. 

&lt;b&gt;Doll It Up&lt;/b&gt;

Ladies! Just because you're dateless doesn't mean you're consigned to wallflower status. Far from it. Pfeuffer calls weddings &quot;an all-you-can-eat buffet of eye candy,&quot; and recommends, &quot;throw on a killer party dress, sexy stiletto heels...and &quot;whammo, you've got the makings for some action.&quot; However, in deference to the bride, she advises, &quot;Remember to wear underwear.&quot; 

&lt;b&gt;The Thing Is, You Never Know&lt;/b&gt;

OK. So we say we're looking for no-strings nookie. But if it turned into something more... well, wouldn't that be a nice surprise? Says Pfeuffer, &quot;Weddings are just another social situation, and if you put yourself out there, you never know who you may meet... and isn't dating a numbers game, anyway?&quot;

    <title>Surviving as a Single (Cont'd)</title>
    <link>http://www.dating-site-advisor.com/online-dating-sites-blog.html#Surviving-as-a-Single-(Contd)</link>
    <description>The reunion. The holiday dinner. The anniversary party. Nothing puts the pressure on a single more than family get-togethers. A few rules to get you through the second-cousin juggernaut. 

&lt;b&gt;Don't Feel Guilty&lt;/b&gt;

There's something about the well-meaning but relentless interrogation methods of older relatives that can make even a seasoned single feel like an errant child. But remember: It is not the 16th century. You are in no way obligated to Aunt Rose, Uncle Pete or dear old granddad to shack up and produce a few more heirs for the sake of the family. Live your life the way you want, and make no excuses. 

&lt;b&gt;Smile for the Camera&lt;/b&gt;

If you just split up with someone last week or had your newly minted girlfriend bail on you at the last second, there's no reason for the whole world to see your pain --or record it for posterity in a family portrait. And you certainly don't want them questioning you about it during the next get-together. So put your troubles aside, slap on an ear-to-ear grin, and pretend you're having the time of your life. It may manifest in reality -- and if not, the cameras will never record the difference. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-1490032-10483577&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.ftjcfx.com/image-1490032-10483577&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; alt=&quot;Lavalife Dating&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Less Is More&lt;/b&gt;

Under the constant beady-eyed scrutiny of relatives, you might feel the urge to dish inconsequential, premature or private details about your personal life: the fledgling romance you just began last week, the rocky on-and-off relationship that's driving you to drink, your temporary desire to enter the priesthood and swear off lunatic women altogether. 

You know what? Keep it to yourself.  Your relatives won't appreciate the finer points of your situation. They're going to hear SCANDAL -- and they're going to quiz you on it six months from now, which you will hate. So when the questions start, just smile noncommittally, say &quot;I've been really busy with other stuff right now,&quot; and let the focus switch to something less personal.</description>

    <title>Surviving as a Single</title>
    <link>http://www.dating-site-advisor.com/online-dating-sites-blog.html#Surviving-as-a-Single</link>
    <description>By Lena Katz 

It's the nightmare scenario that Bridget Jones' Diary was built on:  A dozen happy couples and one solitary singleton. 

Luckily, though, you're not Bridget Jones -- and you can deal with this scene, no problem. 

That said, it's not easy to be the only solo flier in a situation where everyone else is paired off. So we've collected tips to help you relax, glory in your singleness and maximize any of these so-called &quot;awkward&quot; travel situations for your own benefit. 

&lt;b&gt;Single in a Couples' Paradise&lt;/b&gt; 

Even if you're marooned on an entire island full of honeymooners (a situation I found myself in recently), you can still have a romantic, quality time. With yourself. After all, as they say in the self-help handbooks, loving yourself is the most important thing. 

Capitalize on off-peak times . Unless you have a heart of stone, it's slightly depressing to be surrounded by loving couples watching the sunset together. So... skip the sunset. Or go early enough so you can score a prime table, just for yourself. Get up early and watch the sunrise. Go to the gym while everyone else is still snoozing. 

Make friends with the bartenders and the concierge . Not only are they fixtures at the hotel, they also are looped in on all local events. Also, other resort guests are dropping in and out of the bars, so maybe you'll find a couple of kindred spirits. Or get the bartender to tell you what the locals are up to that night. There's always something. 

&quot;At some of these Caribbean islands, a certain place can be quiet all week and then one night, turn into a total party,&quot; says Nina Zapala, PR Travel Consultant at Fareed &amp; Zapala Marketing. She mentions Friday nights at True Blue Bay in Grenada. Normally this area is posh, discreet and residential. But once a week on Fridays, it turns into a local block party. 

Get happy . Unlike metropolitan bars, where Happy Hour crowds tend to be mostly local business people converging for a few after-work drinks, resort Happy Hours tend to draw an across-the-board assortment of guests who share one common goal: getting tipsy on the cheap before heading out for a night of indulgence.   

&quot;Anyone who shows up is usually in the mood to mingle and meet other people -- and the vibe is almost always casual,&quot; says Zapala. 

Maximize your singleness . Once you put self-consciousness and self-pity aside, you'll realize that romantic resorts offer endless opportunity for self-indulgence. You can do whatever the heck you want and no one's going to whine at you. Turn your iPod up to top volume, buy all the magazines you never get a chance to read at home... go snorkeling or kayaking or just take a long nap. Drink wine in the bathtub. Order room service. Be completely self-centered.
