So. How about that stock-market? I suppose I’ve never been what one would call rich, but I had ambitions that I was at least working towards becoming moderately well-off until the stock-market took a dive. Now I’m starting to think about checking out a wealthy dating site so I can start the process of marrying into money. I’m only joking, of course. I mean, I wouldn’t kick a wealthy single woman out of my bed if I happened to find her there, but that really isn’t the issue.

Sure, whether you’re a guy or gal, suddenly finding happiness with someone and, at the same time, having your money worries evaporate would be nice, but all that most of us are really after is the first part of that equation.

That’s not to say that the fantasy never comes true. I’ve seen it happen. A good friend of mine met this gal that he fell head-over-heels for the first time he saw her. They met in university and they hit it off and stayed together the whole time they were studying. They were both from out of town so it was almost two years before either one met the other’s family. The first time my friend went to meet the people who are now his in-laws his jaw hit the floor as they drove up to the house. He knew his girlfriend’s family was well-off, but he had no idea they were actually monocle-and-top-hat rich.

Now he’s married, has a kid and lives in a ludicrously big house that was a wedding present from her parents. It didn’t change him at all though. He still works his butt off every day and has managed to build himself his own little business from scratch that is doing very well.

When he first realized her family situation he, after he stopped being surprised, wondered why she hadn’t told him before. It makes sense to him now though. One of the problems is that you can’t really be sure who cares about and who just wants a piece of you, so his wife’s decision to keep this thing quiet until she was sure about him makes perfect sense.

Whether you’re a wealthy single woman or one of those wealthy bachelors, the whole point of looking for other wealthy singles is to meet someone who is already financially secure so you know that they’re used to your lifestyle, that they can keep up, and they’re not after what you have. No one should have to hide their success in order to be sure of their relationships and dating wealthy is a good way to find happiness with people who are already on the same page.

I don’t know if it’s the weather, the time of year, or what, but all I can think about is beautiful, sexy women. I see them everywhere. Every time I leave the house, there’s another sexy gal, but for some reason I can’t find the nerve to talk to any of them. I’m not usually like this, but whatever the reason for it may be, at least I’m still able to find adult singles online.

There are so many beautiful women in my city that it drives me absolutely crazy. I mean it, they’re everywhere. Just the other day I was in the grocery store and there was this chick that was so hot that she was in danger of melting everything in the frozen food section. Sadly, like I said before, for some reason the proverbial cat has got my tongue. I’m partial to dating sites these days, because it gives me the opportunity to get to know someone before meeting them face to face and, right or wrong, I’m just more comfortable with that right now.

I’ve had many discreet relationships by meeting women online. I’ve had great times with most of them and only a very few have not been any fun at all. It’s great getting to know someone’s interests and their goals before sitting down and talking to them. That way you have something to discuss when you’re out on your first date. A lot of the ‘getting to know you’ stuff has already been taken care of and you can just have fun. Isn’t that the point of dates anyway?

When the date goes well, there’s much more fun to be had. Spending the night is always lots of fun and it proves that sometimes it’s not just the thrill of the chase. Who knows, maybe one day one of these beautiful, sexy women I meet might become my beautiful wife.

If you ever needed a reason to use to try use dating personals, I’ve got one for you. To be fair, there is really no reason why you wouldn’t want to use them. You can meet all kinds of people from all over the world, be as picky as you like and still find people that can make you smile. That said, this latest revelation has convinced me that I should really keep all my dating online.

A lot of problems are caused by poor communication and online dating can be a really good way to avoid any mix-ups. Some people find online dating a little impersonal and it’s true that it can be at first, but maybe you’ve heard the old saying about how it’s easier to confide in strangers. It’s also easier to tell strangers exactly what it is you want from them without feeling all the anxiety that comes with revealing yourself to someone with whom you’re face to face.

If you can get all those things you’re shy about saying out of the way and you still want to get more personal, then there will really be nothing at all stopping you once decide to meet the next sexy cutie who you think might be the one for you.

That said, I’m avoiding what I really wanted to talk about today. The other kind of communication mix-up you can avoid are the ones that involve your friends. It doesn’t matter how close a group of friends might be, a romance gone wrong can really break people apart.

I went by a friend’s party on the weekend and met this really beautiful girl. We talked a lot, laughed a lot and I quickly got the feeling there was something starting between us. Sounds like a good night out right? It was until I noticed my friend watching us. I think I stepped on his toes a bit. I had no idea he had feelings for her and I’m not about to lose one of my oldest friends over a woman with whom I spent all of three hours.

I really didn’t do anything wrong, but I feel like a bit of a jerk and I think it’ll be a while before I can smooth things over with my buddy. From now on, I’m sticking with meeting people online and safely out of my circle of friends. There is a lot that can go wrong with a romance on the best of days and I’d rather keep my friends at a safe distance from the fallout.

Given the headlines that I’ve been reading over the last couple of years, I’ve had lots of opportunities to wonder about how difficult it must be for all the military wives that are here, at home, wondering how their husbands are doing overseas. Of course, there are many men with wives overseas who are in the same predicament, but it’s mostly because I have a friend that is married to an Army Lieutenant and she has a hard time when he’s gone that I’ve been thinking about military wives. I don’t think that they met on a military dating site, but I do know that my friend often recommends that her girlfriends check them out.

I don’t know why she would want to suggest to anyone that they should lead the kind of life she’s living. Suggesting to her friends that they start seeing military men when she’s having so much trouble seems a bit funny, but I know that she loves her husband a great deal and wishes that her friends could feel the same thing she does. I guess that I see her more in the hard times than when times are good. When things are bad, of course, they’re very, very bad. It’s hard to be away from someone at the best of times, but when you know that their life is in danger, this is incredibly hard for all military wives.

They have a good deal of communication with each other. He calls at least 3 times a week. No matter how long he has to wait in line he calls her, even if it means he only gets a couple hours of sleep because he waited so long in line. I don’t know how many times she has cut conversations with me short because she’s thinking he’s about to call, but I don’t mind. I know how important it is to her.

When he’s home, or on leave, their time together is made just that much more sweet by the absence. They spend all their waking hours together and, honestly, I’ve never seen two people so in love. Luckily, she spares me the details of their romantic escapades, but she still doesn’t talk about much else for quite a while after he has gone back.

I’m not sure that I could live that kind of life, but I’m sure glad that there are people that do. I’m proud of her for being so very much in love and I’m proud of him for doing a job that very few people in this world have the ability to do. I hope that he comes home safely every time and I know that when he does, she will always be there to meet him with open arms and a loving embrace.

Here’s to the men that defend our freedom and to the military wives that keep them coming home.

They say that money can’t buy happiness, but I’m pretty sure they’re wrong. It’s not that I’m a materialist or a power junkie, but let’s be honest… There are only two things that get in the way of doing all the things I would like to do: time and money. And as we know from the bankers who never get tired of repeating the phrase, time is money.

It’s not that I equate money with happiness, it’s just that I’m pretty sure money buys all those that things that would make you happy. Security, flexibility, time and the resources to do the things that you find fulfilling. What else is there? I think it was Steve Martin that said, “I believe that sex is the most beautiful, natural, and wholesome thing money can buy.” Ok, now we’re going too far. Seriously though, if you can’t find a way to be happy with the world at your finger tips, it isn’t the world’s fault, it’s yours.

In all fairness I have to admit that it’s true that money can’t fix everything. This story is a little old, but I just heard it the other day. Apparently back in 2001 Billy Bob Thornton was quoted in the New York Post as saying, “I had a nurse come…and draw some of my blood. I painted some pictures for Angie [Jolie] in my blood. We’re not the types to give each other candy or a bunch of flowers.” I suppose to some people, nothin’ says lovin’ like a satanic contract or the missing love-scene from the Exorcist. To me it just says that all the money and fame in the world can’t make you any less insane.

Some people are a little nervous about online dating personals, but they’ve got to allow for better screening than the entertainment industry. Seriously, you’ve got to think twice before dating a celebrity. Although, for most of us, there isn’t a huge danger of that happening anyway, thankfully dating the stranger sitting next to you on the bus will be a better option.

Dear Readers,

Think back. When was the last time someone just complimented you and made you feel good about yourself? Was it when you were little and kept the crayons on the line? Maybe when you are 14 and had a good report card?

Unfortunately, when you become an adult, folks tend to stop just telling you how much they appreciate you. Especially your partner

Until now…

Rori Gwynne wrote a book that I think will help you turn around your relationship. It is “Have the Relationship You Want.“

There are countless ways to meet people, whether through friends, following a particular music scene in your hometown, joining clubs or looking through dating personals. But, in spite of all the different ways we coming in contact with new people, it still seems hard find that one person who’s right for you. The search for good relationships, or ideally that one good one, can be a long, painstaking process.

In our culture, most of us attach a lot of importance to our romantic relationships, so maybe it makes sense that the search is so long. Sometimes, though, I worry that our expectations are linked a little too much to what we see in romance movies. I don’t mean that we should lower our expectations and I don’t even mean that our ideals are unreasonable. It’s just that we can’t forget that those idealized conceptions of romance are esthetic imaginings. They compress all the important events and signs together in one production. It isn’t that reality is less grand or beautiful, but only that it is more spread out, more mixed up with other things.

Generally speaking, I think I’m a pretty observant and attentive guy, but it’s amazing what the human mind is capable of missing. Someone painted a huge, ugly piece of graffiti on the wall next to the entrance to my building. Almost a week afterward I was having dinner with some of my neighbors and one of them started complaining about the graffiti, to which I responded, “what graffiti?” Everyone laughed at me. I managed to miss something glaringly obvious even though I pass by more than once every day. This is a rather unfortunate choice of metaphor wherein I’ve compared romance to graffiti… but I hope it make my point clear. What I mean is that we get into routines and we only see what we consciously pay attention to, and a lot of other things get lost.

I think that sometimes we get caught up in the idea of a certain romance that we’re after, or a certain idea of romance, and we miss all the good relationships that we could be building with the people that are already in our lives. I don’t think there is a problem with the importance we place on romance in our live, or that we take the search for good relationships too seriously. I do, however, think that the search would be a little bit easier if we didn’t expect what we’re looking for to be so obvious. Subtle things are beautiful when you pay close attention.

A friend of mine has a thing for beautiful Italian ladies. Actually, he’s got a thing for pretty much everything Italian. The food, the wine, the culture. He’s even learning Italian. However, he isn’t Italian so he is have trouble meeting girls with that heritage. I suggested he try an Italian Dating site to see who he can meet.

I know that, generally speaking, the women on Italian dating sites are looking to meet other Italians, but given my friend’s affinity for everything about the culture I’m hoping some of the beautiful Italian ladies will make an exception in his case.

I suppose it might seem strange that someone develop such an obsession with a culture that that they don’t initially come from. To be honest, it seem strange to me, but it seems pretty sincere and he explains it pretty well.

He told me that, for most of his life, he always felt a little bit like an outsider. He said that the first time he didn’t feel like that way was when he spent a summer living in Italy. He studied art history and went on what was supposed to be a two-week trip to Rome to do research, but he was gone for months and only came back once his visa expired and he had no choice.

Part of me thinks that traveling, wherever you go, always makes you feel like a changed person, but my friend insists that it’s something specific about Italian culture. He likes the way people interact and live and that it all made him feel very comfortable.

Anyway, whatever the cause of his fantasy, he’s putting a lot of work into it. He’s reading in Italian now and is starting to be able to speak it, so the language barriers should disappear pretty quickly once he meets an Italian angel who can help him practice. He’s a good guy, and I’m sure that he’ll be able to meet someone nice on of the dating sites he is going to try out.

Online dating personals are a really good way to put you in contact with all kinds of fun, interesting and attractive people. There are a lot of things to look out for when meeting new people, but potential communication problems in relationships are really one of the most important things to avoid.

We tend to think that love should be enough; that if you care for someone enough and admire them enough, then any other problems can be overcome. That might be an inherently naïve misconception, but it is definitely true that without proper communication in relationships there is very little else that matters.

Communication in relationships has got to be one of the most important things to maintain. We all know that trust in relationships is of paramount importance, but even that begins with having a good understanding of each other. Two people can’t develop a good level of trust if they are constantly worried about misunderstandings and unclear expectations.

The fact is, communication problems in relationships lead directly to doubting whether or not the person you’re with has any idea who you are. It’s really important that, when you’re looking to start a relationship, you find someone with whom you communicate well. That can be harder than it sounds.

We’ve all heard the jokes about how men and women communicate differently and I suppose there is some truth hidden behind all the cliches. However, I think there can be more differences between any two people, man or woman, than there generally are between the genders.

Some people simply communicate differently. Some people focus on denotative meaning, that is to say that many people rely on the literal meaning of words and don’t think anything else should be read into them and, consequently, don’t read anything into them when other people use them. Some people rely heavily in implications and connotations, and when someone else isn’t used to thinking over everything they say, there can be problems.

Those are two overly extreme examples, but the important thing to realize is that is neither right or wrong. On the one hand, we can’t be expected to read minds and decipher a web of subjective connotations. On the other hand, it can sometimes be unreasonable to expect that everything be stated explicitly. There are some things that, when you’ve known a person for a while, should be able to go unsaid. Part of communication is learning and anticipating. When this doesn’t happen, one might well wonder if the other person is paying attention.

All this to say, if you pay a little attention to how people are accustomed to communicating, then a lot of misunderstanding and unwanted surprises can be avoided.
