Halloween: Adventure And Therapy
It's Halloween, which means all bets are off. It's like the international sex dating day. On no other single day do we seem to get ourselves in as much trouble as we do on this otherwise inconspicuous October day. You think we'd have all learned to keep our heads down by now, but instead it looks as if we all like being in hot water. Now, of course, it's not the trouble we're after, it's that process of getting into trouble that it just too much fun to resist.

Dangerous Italian Fantasy
This particular Italian fantasy of mine began after watching the Godfather trilogy one too many times and then noticing that there are such things as Italian dating sites. I'm sure this will sound like a horrible idea to anyone with an ounce of common sense, but my theory is that marrying into a mafia family would solve all of my problems. Sure, I know what you're thinking: Sonny is going to get wasted in a hail of gunfire, and I'm going to take that lonely, one-way trip to the airport after getting smacked around a bit for good measure. This is definitely one of those ideas that seem to be destined for a bad ending, but I think, with proper planning, this fantasy can be salvaged.

Rodriguez And McGowan An Item
After much speculation while they were working together and after an appearance at the Cannes film festival, the word on the web today is that Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez have admitted they're dating. So those poor folks that were sure they were destined to hook up with either (or both) the notable witch or the director of the classic El Mariachi are at least temporarily thwarted by the whims of fate and will be back to combing the dating personals for signs from the dating gods.

Try The All New Virtual Date
"What," you ask, "in God's name is a virtual date?" I asked the same question when I first heard the term. I'm a nerd, and I do nerdy things, but I never thought that online romance would become the subject matter taken up in scientific journals. Also, being so generally bewildered by human interaction, I really never thought that anyone would be able to say that there was anything like a "next logical step" for anything in the world of romance. But, I was wrong, and so here we are. The interest, I guess, is in the technology of human interaction and virtual dating is apparently the next evolutionary step after online dating personals.

Run Out Of Romantic Date Ideas? Don't Feel Bad.
Probably the best thing about new relationships is that they force you to grow a bit, break you out of your routine and encourage you to lead a healthier life. Maybe romance is healthy, like it's a kind of fitness dating. That said, human beings are creatures of habit. We do pretty much the same things over and over again. It's not that we're boring, it's just that we have lives where we need to get things done. Sadly, we can't all run around entertaining every whim and so we get rather set in our ways. The problem is that we associate "special" and "meaningful" with "unique" and so when we're looking for romantic date ideas we're suddenly expected to come up with plans that are out of the ordinary

The Politics Of Picking A Date Movie
Ok, if you're trying to pick a date movie when you're going out with someone for the first time, your natural tendency is to try and find something you'll both like. It's natural for you to want things to go well and for you to want your date to have a good time. If she does, she'll just may end up liking you. Ideally, you and your date have enough common interests that finding something you both like won't be too hard. On the other hand, if you've been out a couple of times and you're pressed for a choice, one idea is to use the movie as a screening process. I'm not suggesting that you should ignore other people's tastes, but it's pretty common to see lists of movies in dating personals, so films must be important to people. It seems to me that, at the end of the day, you can say a lot about who you are by showing off what you like and explaining why you like it, even if it's a matter of disagreement.

The Funny Side Of Relationship Breakup Advice
We've all had those moments where we knew it was over but didn't quite know what to do about it. It's a hard thing to do well, and under the best possible circumstances it would be stressful, so we tend to put if off while asking our friends for relationship breakup advice. I still don't know what to tell people, but the last time I was wondering what to do, a friend of mine came up with and idea to solve the problem once and for all... and to make some cash. Her plan was for a breakup-brokerage, a company that would provide a whole range of services, but would focus mostly on helping people at the end of a relationship get back all the stuff they'd left at each other's apartments. Gone would be the days of standing awkwardly in doorways with a box of junk. It would be like the dark side of dating personals.

The Troubles Of Military Men
You would imagine that adventurous, dedicated military men in uniform would have an easy time of it in the dating world. According to a good friend of mine you'd be wrong. It seems the military dating scene is difficult to negotiate. I'm told that the problem isn't so much meeting women as finding ones that can deal with a lifestyle that keeps couples apart for long periods of time.

And So Begins The Search For Quality Dating Services
You'd think it would be easier, this whole dating thing. If you're anything like me, most of the people you know want pretty much the same thing and that is a relationship with little mutual respect, a little laughter and a little joy. It sounds simple. Your expectations are not unreasonable and so, you think, it shouldn't be hard. But of course it's always the simple things that seem to require the most work. You walk around mystified and spend half your time confused about what we want or what others are looking for in us. In any case, the dating scene can get frustrating and you start to hope there are some really high quality dating service out there, or some matchmaking professionals that can help you.

No-Guilt When Dating For Sex
I recently saw the movie Kinsey, which tells the true-life story of Alfred Kinsey. This was the guy who, back in the 1940s, became the first scientist to do extensive research into the sexual behavior of American men and women. It is a fantastic story because he uncovered the reality of what people do behind closed doors (this is where we get the general idea that about 10 percent of the population is homosexual, for example). With 'no guilt when dating for sex' all too common these days, it's inspirational to look back at a period when society was still living under the sexually-repressed rules of the Victorian Age. Sex dating is nothing to be ashamed about.

Celebrate The World's Diverse Assortment Of Men
I'm your classic gal. I absolutely love men. If we're talking pure physical indulgences (and we are since this is my blog), I have to say that my tastes cover a diverse assortment of men. Present me with a cute Asian single, a strong African American and a romantic Italiano stud and I honestly can't say I have a preference. I wouldn't dismiss Muslim singles or Jewish dating either.

Give Me Some Of That Asian Beauty
I'm no newbie to the world of Asian dating, but I'm still not over my jealousy of oriental genetics. Take my Malaysian friend Jen. She's in her late 30s and, as is the case with most Asians, it doesn't show. In fact, I'd argue she's getting more beautiful with age since the benefits of maturity (experience, wisdom and confidence) are building up while her Asian beauty stays pretty much the same. Jen's still gorgeous.

Dating Generous Wealthy Singles Vs. Penny Pinchers
One question that I never, ever ask or even hint at when I'm on a date is how much money the other person makes. I think this is one of the most superficial things you can do on a date, not to mention that it's tacky. However, the more relationships I have, the more I realize how important the financial status of your partner is. I'd hardly call myself rich and I certainly wouldn't group myself among the generous wealthy singles out there, but I can claim complete financial independence. For me, the key to wealthy dating is not how much money they make, but that it's theirs. They're the one who made it and they're surviving on their own.

Masculine Italian Men
I find it totally fascinating to try to figure out why different people are attracted to different things. I know it's got to do with a complex combination of our biological, psychological and emotional backgrounds, not to mention our life experiences. Still, being the expert on my own sexuality, it's a complete mystery why I have a particular adoration of masculine Italian men, and therefore Italian dating.

Chatting With A Shy Deaf Guy
Despite all my bad experiences with chat sites, I continue to converse online. The reason is simple. It's an incredible method of filtering out people who have nothing to say. It takes only a couple of minutes, sometimes even seconds, to realize a guy's only interested in sex and has no interest in getting to know you or engaging in conversation of substance. More recently, I met a guy who turned out to be quite interesting and deaf. Turns out the Internet is a fantastic tool for deaf dating. Shy deaf guys like him can meet gals without worrying about communication getting in the way of first contact.

Where Are You Now, Beautiful Black Girl?
When I was growing up small town nowhere, I was rather sheltered from any sort of ethnic diversity. We were pretty much whiter than a slice of Wonder Bread. Most citizens were of British, Irish or Scottish decent, so there wasn't even much uniqueness in our ancestry, other than having quite a few German immigrants around the area. Back then, there were no black dating sites to consider filled with beautiful black girl profiles.

Finding A Fit Kiss
I'm not cut out for fitness dating. Even watching someone else cycle or pant on a treadmill is enough to exhaust me. But you know, these extra pounds aren't going to work themselves away (well, until my new "Osmosis Diet" hits the bookstores). It takes a considerable amount of wherewithal to hit the gym, but the results are visible even after a few days. A fit kiss may not feel any different than a fat kiss, but the bodies that are attached to those two types of lips makes all the difference when it comes to dating. Of course, when your primary means of interaction is over a keyboard, you could look like Jabba the Hutt or Colin Farrell for all the rest world knows. A little less poundage does affect someone's outlook, however.
