Why Take Dating Advice from this “Bachelor”?

Recently I caught part of an episode of Dr. Phil where he had some handsome guy as a guest trying to advise women how not to be in order to get the man of their dreams. I remembered part of the title of the book because it was sort of catchy, Don’t Be That Girl, but I wasn’t very impressed with the guy or his advice. I ended up turning off the show (a) because I had something else I needed to do, and (b) because I was thinking, “Yeah, you’re a good looking guy and I’m sure you’ve had … Continue reading →

Dating Advice? Let’s Get Real

I wanted to write more about dating, so I decided to do a little research into what is currently passing as dating advice. While there is some good stuff available, not much has changed in some areas since I was single. Much of the dating advice being offered now is all too similar to what it was back in the day and that whole “snag a guy” or “win a girl” thing, frankly turns my stomach. Women aren’t looking to “snag” or trick or trap men and men shouldn’t be looking to “win” a girl as if she is some … Continue reading →

Would You Date a Proven Liar?

I’m not going to mention the name of the show, although some of you will likely know the one I’m talking about. I don’t want to name it or link to it, because it doesn’t fit our “rated PG” preferences here. In fact, I ended up turning it off due to the graphic language and content, but I did learn something from the parts I did watch. The show has a person meet with two other people, potential dates, and ask them several questions. What they don’t know is that their responses are being recorded and processed with a lie … Continue reading →

Dating: Listen to that Little Voice

We all have a little voice inside that tells us things, usually things we don’t want to hear. When it comes to dating pay attention! That voice is trying to tell you that the guy you think is just too hot is not the right guy for you. On the other hand, it might be telling you men that the ultra-sweet girl you are getting ready to ask out for the second time is not quite as sweet as she seems. People can manage to be on their best behavior during a quick meeting to make plans or even during … Continue reading →

Dating Advice

You will get lots of dating advice and most of it is given with the best of intentions. Still, you’ll find a good deal of it to be worthless, if not damaging. Even though we offer advice here, I still recommend that you weigh it against your own thoughts and feelings. Never take advice, no matter how good it might sound, as the final word on any subject. Ultimately, you have to decide what is right for you. On that note, perhaps a better title for this article would be “dating suggestions.” I don’t want to tell people what to … Continue reading →

Workplace Romances

Is it a good idea to get involved with someone that you work with? It depends on whom you ask. A survey by the Society for Human Resource Management shows that nearly 75% of people working in human resources who were surveyed, report no regulations against workplace romance. Okay, so it isn’t disallowed, but does that mean it’s a good idea? Some people believe it is. If you work in another office, on another floor, or in a different department than your love interest, it may be a great way to meet more people in your company and learn more … Continue reading →
