		<description>This was a great list and I loved the list from Yahoo users.  Although I have been on dates, I feel that I am truly &quot;dating&quot; someone for the first time now and it really is frustrating!  I mean, the uncertainty that is involved is what kills me.  I know that there is nothing I can do to get inside of his head,  but I wish that I could! *lol*  I have to be ok with the fact that I&#039;m having a great time when we&#039;re together and that we&#039;ve been on 5 great dates so far.  

What I wouldn&#039;t give to be able to read his mind though! *lol*</description>

		<description>As a single pops (never married but a very happy poppa), I make an effort to talk to every single woman I meet that I think is attractive. If they don&#039;t like the fact I am a dad, their loss not mine.

Funny thing is I made an effort to reach out to someone I met a month/two months ago. I never heard from her. I figured she was either seeing someone or not interested. No big deal.

I finally got a call (well after I forgot about her). I&#039;ll be calling her soon.

Remember, don&#039;t give up. There is someone for everyone even if you out kick your coverage.</description>

		<description>Hi Friends!   I&#039;m new to dating at age 48, crazy but true.  I find any and all information  here helpful.  I have gone on few dates that I was sure i was not completely attracted to.  After a few hours I found myself attracted to these woman.  Not to say that they were my final destination, but to it has open my thinking. Makes it fun and exciting to meet and date.  So I think dating is a healthy process.  We get to meet new people, hopefully experiance new things, and just maybe someone who you mutually want a second, third or more dates.  I will listen to my heart and open to any comments.  Where&#039;s AMY?</description>

		<description>Yes AZNY you are spot on.

It is all about being yourself and anyone who has listened to my products will understand that power that it brings!!!

Thanks for the great feedback and check out what a few women have sent me. I posted an article online for yahoo called 10 dating mistakes men make when online and asked for feeedback.

Here are some of the best.

OMG, I&#039;m so glad you gave us gals a chance to respond with our own turn-offs.... here are mine.
1. Don&#039;t send me an email only saying, &quot;wow, you&#039;re so hot&quot;. Didn&#039;t you read my profile at all? About how I like to travel, or read or watch football?  GEEZ!
 
2. If you mention sex, wanting to have sex, or &quot;wanting to get some&quot; in your profile or email you are automatically disqualified from ever talking to or going out with me.
 
3. Please have a current picture that isn&#039;t far away or blurred. Be honest about how you look. Don&#039;t put athletic if you&#039;re average and don&#039;t average if you&#039;re more fluffy. I&#039;m more apt to be angry for being lied to. I&#039;m honest, you should be too.
 
4. Be honest about living with your parents, your age, or if you have children. I&#039;m going to find out anyway, and then I&#039;ll be you weren&#039;t up front about it.
 
5. If you don&#039;t like me after our first meeting, its cool, but you need to be an adult and say so even if its by text message or email. I&#039;m going to give the same respect in return.
 
6. If the only pictures you have are of places you&#039;ve been to, your car, and your house, I could care less. Delete!
 
7. Please say something about who you are. What activities you like to do, your favorite teams, or what your favorite movie is. Don&#039;t say you don&#039;t know what to write and to ask you later in an email because your life is an open book. Bo-ring!
 
8. Good grammar and spelling says a lot. Don&#039;t use all caps or slang when writing. Use the spell check liberally! To me, it says you have no attention to detail and I think you&#039;re immature.
 
9. Don&#039;t expect to pick me up at my house. I will meet you somewhere neutral. If you get mad at this you have something else up your sleeve and I&#039;m going to know that.
 
10. Don&#039;t look at my profile 50 times and not send an email. There must be a reason you keep looking!


Here is another list from a woman....all good tips.

1) Men, talking about yourself throughout the whole
email and not asking us questions gets annoying.  It
makes us think that A) You&#039;re not really interested in
getting to know us and B) You&#039;re too in love with
yourself and there&#039;s no room for us.

2) Try not to sweat profusely when on a date. I
realize that it might be nerves kicking in, but if we
have to lend you our dinner napkin so you could wipe
off your sweat, it&#039;s just not that appealing. 

3) When out on a date, don&#039;t belittle people around
you (waiters, valet person etc). That just shows
insecurity and insecurity means lack of confidence and
lack of confidence is definitely not sexy.

4) Don&#039;t play the &#039;let&#039;s wait three days to call her
rule&quot;. If we gave you our number it means that we want
you to call. We won&#039;t think you&#039;re a loser if you
called the same day. But also remember, call, but
don&#039;t call 5 times a day at wee hours of the morning.

5) Please be original and creative. Definitely no copy
and paste. We receive tons and tons of emails a day.
Make reading the emails seem less of a chore by
spicing them up with humor, originality and wit.  I
promise you, you will stand out and you will get many
replies.

6) In your initial email, don&#039;t tell us your whole
life story. We don&#039;t care who you know or what you
drive. We don&#039;t really care to read paragraphs and
paragraphs on why your neighbor&#039;s kids are annoying or
why your ex wife stinks. If you have to, tell one of
your buddies. Keep your initial email original, short
and sweet.

7) Don&#039;t ask us out on the very first email you send
us. Especially if this email was sent on a Friday
evening. Makes you seem desperate.

8) Make sure you proofread your emails. Spell check.
Just remember, spell check doesn&#039;t catch the &#039;you&#039;re&#039;
and &#039;yours&#039; and the &#039;it&#039;s&#039; and &#039;its&#039; etc. 

9) If you&#039;re really interested in us, don&#039;t just wink
or send a flirt, or a teaser. Write us an email. 

10) Profile don&#039;ts for men: A) Wearing some sort of
cap,hat or a beanie on all your photos is don&#039;t numero
uno. We want to see the whole you...even if you&#039;re
balding. Same goes for wearing sunglasses in all your
photos. We don&#039;t think it looks cool. Besides, we want
to see your eyes! B) Don&#039;t post numerous photos of
sunsets and the beach and the Eiffel Tower. If we
wanted to see those, we&#039;ll read the National
Geographic. C) Photos of you standing in front of your
fancy yellow car. Really cheesy and it just comes
across as trying too hard. D) Misrepresenting your age
and body type will get you nowhere. Eventually we will
find out and you&#039;ve just started off on the wrong
foot.</description>

		<description>These are all so right on when you are out there trying to make a connection. Going through that mental post dating mind game is so not worth it. I have done that a couple of times and never will let it happen again for my sanity sake. Ha The worst is not calling someone back. I have had more than one instance where I just didn&#039;t vibe with the girl, didn&#039;t call her back and the messages became overwhelming on my voicemail. I advise calling back...good or bad. I think it gives some closure. The age of these young girls added to the problem. It is a woman... the infamous cougar who will be the one sought out by me. The maturity of conversation as well as the sexual side is far more appealing as well as satisfying:) No offense to the pumas out there! Everyone has their preference and that happens to be mine. Well, duty calls. Have a great day all. I&#039;m out</description>
