Using Craigslist For Online Dating

Craigslist is one of the most popular websites on the internet.  This is a good thing and a bad thing.  The good part of it is that tons of people visit the site monthly and you are able to find pretty much anything there.  The bad part is that internet marketers take advantage of this and try to solicit business by posting fake ads.

I know that Craigslist can be frustrating when you are looking for a date or love.  Almost every ad on Craigslist is put up by a fake who is looking for you to sign up for some scam website.  This is terrible because there are plenty of REAL people who use craigslist to find love every day.  Sometimes it can be hard to pick out the real ones, but there are a few simple tips you can follow to protect yourself.

You must also know that many girls are not using Craigslist anymore because they are required to pay to post an ad.  Because of this, many of the people went to other places to find love, but Craigslist is still very popular.

The first tip is to ask a simple question in your response.  By simply asking something like "do you like older men" or "do you mind smokers" is a great way to find out if someone is real.  If they respond to you without answering the question you asked, chances are they are fake.

The second tip is to sign the response with a name.  It doesn't have to be your real name, but sing it with a name.  By simply putting "Thanks, Jim" at the end of the email you will be setting the ad poster up for the ultimate test.  If they address their response with "Hey Jim" or "Dear Jim" it at least means that they are writing the email to YOU.  If they write back with "Hey Hun" or "Hey Baby", chances are they are just auto-responding to you and it is a fake ad.

The third and final tip is to watch the pictures.  If you see a picture that looks like it was taken in a studio, chances are they are fake.  If you get a picture from a cell phone or something that looks "amateur" chances are they are real.

At the end of the day the best defense is just common sense.  Just be careful and make sure things look legit.

How to Use Your Eyes to Build Attraction

Your eyes are a very important asset in the whole dating and pick up game. Ever hear a girl say "he has nice eyes" and then you look at the guy she's admiring and his eyes don't look like anything special.

It's because he knows how to use his eyes to communicate confidence and sensuality. Something that took me years to figure out. You can be sensual without being sexual. There are a ton of things you can do to build attraction and every dating coach has their own opinions as well as their own field-tested results. Most will agree that your body language, how close / far away you are from her, your eyes, your vocal projection, how and when you touch her, sense of humor, confidence, etc. are all necessary ingredients for building attraction.

You are going to use your eyes to build SOME level of interest. Then you're going to use them to build attraction. Interest, then attraction....got it? If you're not used to looking a girl straight in the eye without making a weird face or without turning away, then it's something you can overcome by practicing. How do you practice?

Simply start making more eye contact. It helps if you bring a buddy or a female friend to walk a few feet away from you so they can see your facial expression when you do make eye contact. Their feedback will be invaluable. Here's the biggest lesson about eye contact:

Looking a woman in the eye and holding it longer than normal communicates to her that you are confident. It tells her you are not an average guy. An average guy looks a hot girl in the eye and then looks down at the floor or he looks away. Let's take this deeper.

Her internal biological and psychological mechanisms that CREATE or DESTROY attraction go into motion. Without even thinking about it on a conscious level she already begins to get that "ewwww" feeling.

All you're doing from across the room, cafe, bowling alley, gas station, night club, bar, wherever...is communicating that "hey, I'm a great catch, I'm confident, and I'm not an average guy."

Women, especially cute ones, get approaches by TONS of men who suck up to them and say stupid things, so by simply holding your eye contact a little longer than normal you're telling her that there's a small chances you are one of those guys.

There are dozens of ways to use your eyes to BUILD the attraction after you have generated initial interest. Here's one that I used recently at a night club. I saw a group of girls at the bar getting drinks. One of the brunettes turned around to see what was going on (hot girls tend to do that) and our eyes met. We lock, 3 seconds later we both look away.

Brunette becomes intrigued and turns around again pretending to look at other people but then her eyes land on me again. To her surprise I'm still standing there, drink in my hand, and catch her gaze again. This time I take a few steps closer to her though not walking directly toward her. I'm walking more to the group to her left.

As I'm walking toward her I caress her face with eyes and let out a small smirk. I've read / heard some pick up artists say to never, every smile or smirk at a woman, and I could NOT disagree more. There's a time and place for just about everything.

There are two basic types of smiles:

A weak, needy smile.

A smile that exudes confidence.

If you've watched enough movies in your lifetime you know what I'm talking about.

She smirks back. Not an ear-to-ear grin, but a smirk. Like most hot girls, this girl knew how to pace. By the time she has turned 18 years old, a hot girl has had far MORE social interactions than your typical 18 year old male.

When was the last time you had 25 to 50 females approach you in one week? One weekend? It's not easy being a good-looking female, which is why many of them resort to being bitchy when you first approach them. I actually LIKE it when a hot babe is bitchy to me because I know she's mistaking me for the wrong guy.

Sometimes just staying there and talking like everything's normal does the trick. Sometimes just saying "hey, it's ok, relax...my bark is worse than my bite." Back to the bar girl.

I was not at this night club to pick up. I was there with my date to dance and listen to the DJs bring the house down, but I love to flirt, especially with my eyes. So I walked by the brunette and then continued walking. This is non-neediness at it's best. I was at the club to have a good time, not to get digits or get somewhere with any one girl.

About an hour later I bumped into her group again and decided to caress her face again with my eyes. We were about 5 inches apart, talk about creating sexual tension (a good thing in this case). She then smacks my shoulder and walks off.That smack on my shoulder was her way of telling me:

"You flirt with me with your eyes and then you don't step up and talk to me?"

The thing is, if you're confident you don't give a crap on what some cute young thing thinks about you. You really don't. So her little smack on my shoulder....I loved it man. I get smacked a lot by cute girls, I think I drive them crazy sometimes. I'm just out to have a good time. Girls GET that vibe and are drawn to it.

Remember girls can SENSE when you're needy or WANT something from them. The hotter they are the more they will assume that you WANT them. By the way you talk, the way you move, and the way you use your eyes you can communicate to them that "there's always another girl".....without having to say it. It will come with practice.

So, I followed her, tapped her firmly on the shoulder, grabbed her hand, twirled her around, let her go, and then walked back to my group of friends (my date had disappeared to the bathroom). My friend told me the look on her face was "priceless"...it could have been a Mastercard commercial.

Pick up is a skill. Flirting is a skill. Just like learning tennis, how to write calligraphy, or learning a new language...it's a real skill and it takes practice. Once you ACCEPT this fact you take away a lot of stress and self-doubt.

Then you can focus more on your goals and not so much on the PROCESS. You've got to practice, reject rejection, and learn to use your eyes, then you go in and make the approach, IF you want to. That's the great thing about working on your skill set, you can opt to approach, or not. You can opt to get her phone number or simply have a great interaction with a girl and then walk away.

I do it all the time. My friends constantly tell me "dude, you should have asked for her number."

My response is always the same:

"I chose not to."

When you can get a date anytime you want, it no longer becomes a NECESSITY. Once you get to this level of personal development is when you know you've gotten rid of your neediness.....

I know you guys are going to ask me this question so I'm going to answer it right now:

"Do I have to get eye contact to talk to a girl?"

No.

You do NOT need it. It's great if you get it, but I've done some of my best work by just walking up to a girl and just start talking.

Holding your eye contact is just one of the few things you can start doing RIGHT now to begin having better results with the female population. So start having fun with this. Start experimenting with your eye contact. Who knows, you just might make a new friend.

How to Tell If a Guy Likes You - Does He Really Like You?

Let me say right off the bat: stop wasting your time going after creeps that won't appreciate you. If you have to be something other than who you really are then he is not worth it. If you want to know how to tell if a guy likes you then there are certain ways to do this, let's take a look at a few:

1. When he really likes you he will show it by spending quality time with you. If you are with someone that is not giving you the quality time that you deserve than that is not a good sign.

2. Another sign that he really likes you is judged by the affection he shows you. I am not talking about wanting to go to bed but I am talking about public displays of affection; hugging, kissing, sweet nothings, etc ...

3. In my opinion, the best way how to tell if a guy likes you is to ask him. It may seem like an obvious statement but you would be surprised at how many guys are straight up and willing to tell you how he really feels. So, just go ahead and ask him.

4. Does he make eye contact with you? When a guy likes you he will look you right in the eye but that is one of the first things to do when he does not.

5. If he really does like you he will also be willing to help you out with the little things. For example: He will help you wash dishes, pick up your trash and throw it out, do little favors, it really comes down to little acts of kindness.

If you are looking to discover whether or not he really likes you then there are some ways to figure this out. In the end, if he is not good to you and does not appreciate you for who you are then go find someone else. As the old saying goes, "There are plenty of fish in the sea."

What to Do When a Man Doesn't Call

If the man you are dating suddenly stopped calling, you may be wondering what should I do? Should I call him or wait for him to call? This article will help you decide.

First thing you must do in a situation such as this is to cool down. When you are overly emotional, you can't act rationally. And if you can't act rationally, there is a chance that you will sound very upset when you call him and he answers the phone.

Perhaps the last time you talked to him you were upset about something and he could sense it. If that was the case, perhaps the reason he is not calling you and is not returning your phone calls now is because he doesn't want to talk to you when you are upset.

Men try to avoid confrontation with their women by all means. Perhaps he is just waiting for a good moment to call you, when you are in a better mood.

When you finally receive that long-awaited call, do not jump up and down with delight, and be kind and calm. While you should be very kind to him when you talk to him, don't sound upset at him for not calling you for so long. Sometimes a man doesn't call a woman because he is afraid that she will be upset when he does. Let him sense that you are not offended but tell him honestly what you expect men you date to treat you with respect and that his disappearance made you question his intentions about you. Then if he wants to elaborate on that, at that time you can tell that you were upset. Just make sure you stay calm and keep your composure when you do say those things.

But what if days and weeks go by and he still hasn't called? To learn how to make him call you through powerful strategic approach, go to Should I Call Him

Interested In Making Money On The Internet, Full Or Part Time, Easy Proven And Succesful Methods, http://www.keys2prosperity.net/

Today we are looking at dating tips for men and women. Throughout our dating journey, we often find it challenging to find ways to meet new people to date. Thanks to technology, we can now surf dating profiles and read blog posts regarding relationship issues through online dating websites. Even still, there's other means for finding your Motivated To Marry™Partner. My philosophy from a very young age is to go where the guys are. I was lucky to have an older brother and I used to play tennis, biked, ran track (the girls practiced with the guys) and skied. I met a lot of guys during that time and always had a boyfriend since the 9th grade because I liked doing what they did. I met my college boyfriend on the tennis courts!

The following dating tips are activities where women, as a whole, would be in the minority, and I recommend them to seek out to meet men:

1. Anything related to sports! As a participant: Bicycling groups, Tennis ladders and clinics, Ski clubs, Running clubs, Rollerblading, Coed-softball teams or games, Coed-volleyball teams or games, Racquetball leagues and ladders, Golf clubs, Kickball teams, Ultimate Frisbee, Coed Soccer leagues, Bowling leagues, Working out with weights at the gym. As a spectator: Sports bars with viewing of basketball, football, baseball games. (Especially March madness!) Going to college or professional sports games: baseball, basketball, football, soccer and hockey.

2. Online Dating Websites: Since guys see the internet as time and money efficient, this is a good way to connect with guys. Also, going in chat rooms with any subject you are interested in may be a good way to connect. Here, you can review dating profiles, receive dating tips, get answers to your relationship questions, and more!

3. For the more intellectually oriented: Bridge groups, Chess groups, Discussion groups on topic of male interest

4. For those more politically oriented: Fundraising activities, Local politics

5. Religious institutions: Religious study classes, Weekly services, Social events or speakers at your religious institution

Now, my dating tips for men include you going to where the women are mostly likely to be. Women partake in these various activities and women usually outnumber men!

1. Arts and Crafts classes: Knitting, Pottery, Fine arts: watercolors and oil painting, Jewelry making

2. Cooking classes, Cooking schools, County classes, Gourmet food demonstrations (ie. Whole Foods)

3. Exercise classes, Body conditioning classes, Yoga, Step aerobics, Stretch class, Kickboxing, Pilates

4. Theatre Groups

5. Movie groups, ie. the Film Society

6. The Arts, Concerts, Museum events in the evening and weekends

7. Easy hiking groups

8. Book clubs

9. Dance classes and dances

10. Wine tasting events

11. College Alumni events

12. Tour groups: cruises and bus tours

13. Support groups

14. Book signings and authors speaking at book stores

Now it's your turn to get busy and start planning some activities to meet people to date. As you can see there is a big list to choose from. Also, if you go on the internet and look up singles events in your geographic area, you will surely find lots of activities to partake in. Have fun!
