You can choose to be lonely or not. It is a choice.

"one night stands are like having a Chinese food. It will leave you hungry an hour later.”

Approach the dating game with an attitude of openness and experimentation. It is possible that every date you go on, could lead you to Mr./Ms. Right but… keep an open mind and your feet planted firmly on the ground and you will at least learn something new on every date you go on

The holidays bring a lot of pressure to the single person. Finding a date for the office party, and just concern about being alone for the holidays can be emotional. The kiss at midnight on New Years, becomes a symbol of somehow being back on top, in control of your life and lovable. I was using those random nameless guys to build myself up and the moment never really matched my romantic expectations.

Now you might think its easy to find someone with all these singles living in one spot right? Well think again; one person described it to me this way... Imagine you are at a big mall with thousands of people there at one time, how many of those people do you think you would get to meet personally and how many would you actually want to date?

Ask yourself .... am I paying too much attention to what I DON'T want? Another one that drives me crazy... There are no good men out there... where are all the men? or from the guys... Are there any NORMAL women out there? I can't find a good women

Young women don't always dive in head first telling you they want a DATE MATCHFriends is a maybe..YES.. its a higher risk of being a dead end if you pursueBUT - if done correctly - it can turn around in your favor

Being single shouldn't be a reason to feel blue however, and neither should Valentine's Day. Instead of letting this mostly commercially-fueled holiday drag you down, why not celebrate being single?

To go out alone comfortably, you need to put the stereotypes at the back of your mind. It does not mean that you are a loner, desperado or a loser. You are a liberated single person. It may look or sometimes feel awkward but prepare to go out and have fun just like you would have done if you had company.

What you think about ~ you bring about! FEELINGS then attached to your thoughts then fuel it. Let is go…any negative beliefs you may have, work everyday toward being Grateful for what IS going well in your life, and what you do have. Say YES to life and LIFE says YES to you!

So go ahead ladies, take some initiative when some man interests you. Maybe by doing that you will stand out from the crowd!

Millionaire Matchmaker, Patti has accomplished this fine art quite well. She likes to call it "POWER DATING" instead of Speed Dating, since the candidates are pre-screened.

No answer is an answer, whether it is from a man or a woman.Women do tend to be less upfront, as we Venus people... don't like to hurt feelings so we ladies somehow think no answer is kinder.BUT MARTIANS prefer a straight up - no thanks answer.

Yes we women from Venus do congregate much more then the men from Mars.We go to the bathroom together, feel the need more urgently then the men to go to events together....

No one wants to be alone. Best simple suggestion to help you feel a little better during this adjustment period try volunteering your time or donating to help those less fortunate.

The person may become more and more interested if we stick it out a bit. Of course it could go the other way too!But nothing ventured nothing gained.

Problem is people can actually become addicted to online dating, its like window-shopping with an endless supply of merchandise.
