I’m glad getting married didn’t cause Usher to get soft on us. I’m lovin’ his latest single, Love in This Club — the first single from his 2008 album, Here I Stand.
The beat is sick and the dance routine near the end of the video shows us why he’s still the prince of R&B.

Dating someone is as hard as actually finding a date. To some finding a date is like a needle in a haystack; to others it is like a mountain flowing with honey. When a person is on the actual date, he tends to forget what the main point of the date is all about. People date to know more about one another and find out if they are right for each other. Thats how I view dating in my very idealistic world.
For some reasons such as sheer joy, beauty or awe of the person you are dating. The dater may tend to forget all about the characteristics or traits he or she looks for. The daters may just suddenly like the person for the simplest reason of being pretty or being able to make you feel good because she looks like a model. You must try to avoid falling into a relationship where only the surface matters.
You might be pretty vain if you do think youre happy with a relationship based on the surface only. Who wouldnt want a good looking person for a date or a relationship? However these things might fail in the long run because you havent based what you really want in the characteristics of the person. Lets just say that being beautiful is an advantage that makes a person stands out from the crowd. However it is really the characteristic and attitude of a person that should make you decide if the person is right for you.
Here is another common misconception about people. If you have the looks you are considered to be having some kind of attitude. This is because you wont need to rely having a great attitude to find yourself a date. While the people who look like the average Joes and Janes would need to have a great attitude. It may be true but not for all. We should never stereotype because by doing so, will also limit a persons chance of finding a date.
Here are the usual things or characteristics that are important to some people.
Humor is a great thing to look for in a person. Being with a humorous person helps ease the tension of the date a bit. It also makes the date more fun and enjoyable.
The eyes are the windows of the soul. Eye contact would be a great way to learn more about the emotions the other person is conveying. A person can also see the truth, honesty and understanding of a person through the eyes.
We should also look for a partner that is very understanding. It would be pretty irritating to find a judging partner. The partner should learn to accept the mistakes of the other in some cases and support him or her. This could be commonly displayed among the simplest of things. Such as where to dine, what to do or even having a great conversation.
The important thing to look for is the honesty and truth of a person. A relationship will not last very long when it is based on hidden agendas and lies. One partner may feel very jealous or have doubts about the relationship. So honesty is very important and is a hard one to develop.
It is a common misconception that people look for people like them. This might be true for some, but the more general truth is that we all just want a person that can be able to understand our own personality. (drdating)
There, I’ve admitted it for the whole world to read. I really don’t enjoy talking on the phone. It bores me. So it’s really rare that I have phone conversations just for the sake of having a conversation. If I really want to exchange “catching up” information with someone, I usually revert to emails or instant messengers or social networking site comments. And when the rare phone conversation does occur, it’s usually because I’ve initiated it since I don’t ever pay attention to my phone when it rings. I’m usually doing something else.
But when you’re involved in online dating, you inevitably get to the part where the other person wants your phone number. Many people feel that in between the online connection and the face-to-face meeting must lie a medium ground and they resolve that with the phone conversation. The phone chat lets you put a voice with the name, weed out people whose conversational style gives you the creeps and make the whole thing a little more “real” so you’re both more likely to show up.
So the phone conversation before the first date is a good thing. Except if you hate the phone. I’ll openly admit that I’ve never met people who would probably have been good dates because they insisted on a phone conversation first and I didn’t want to bother. The way I see it, if they really place that much importance on the phone, they can find a gal who likes to talk their ears off. It just ain’t for me.
But I’ll also admit that my approach is somewhat extreme. Most people who don’t like phone chats will find that a really quick conversation to confirm meeting times and places isn’t so bad. So, I don’t really think that the pre-date phone conversation is necessary. But I do think that most people will find the dating transition to go more smoothly if they do the phone thing every now and then.
I just don’t take my own good advice.
Note: If you want to do the phone thing but don’t want to give out your number, try using CallDigits. This service gives you an anonymous number for the purpose of dating.
Question of the Day: Is it a deal breaker if someone from online won’t talk to you on the phone?
Last week (Dec. 8), Google co-founder Larry Page (34) married Lucy Southworth (27), a doctoral student at Stanford University. The two tried their best to keep the marriage a secret affair, but Google’s own search engine revealed the the couple would be getting married on Necker Island, Richard Branson’s 74-acre estate in the Virgin Islands.
With Larry Page’s worth of $20 billion, I hope his lawyers created a rock solid prenuptial agreement since the two have only dated for a little over a year.
Way to go Lucy for locking down the richest bachelor in Silicon Valley!

Believing In Love at First Sight
Love at first sight is something that many of us do no believe in until it happens to us. At some point, many of us have an experience where we walk into a room, a club, a friends house, wherever and we happen to lock eyes with someone so perfect that we cant look away. We are immediately filled with anticipation and excitement, and the eye contact continues throughout the night until you finally talk. When you finally do speak, you just seem to click. You like the same things, you finish each others sentences, and you are sure that this is what love at first sight is all about.
The love at first sight sensation is as real as the perfect person sitting in front of you, or so it seems. The way we react in a new relationship of any sort isnt always natural, so as you get to know one another better things may begin to seem not so perfect. Once you step outside of the overwhelming sensations of getting to know someone new you might realize that this isnt love at first site, but lust at first sight. And, thats not always a bad thing! Sometimes, the most intense lust can turn to love, so dont assume that you should just give up as soon as you realize its not real love at first sight.
Love at first sight is something that many people believe in because theyve had it happen to them. Others are a bit jaded because those that they thought were their love at first sight happened to be anything but a dream. Either way, its a powerful experience to have felt so connected to another individual so quickly that you were able to call it love. Whether it lasts is something that is totally individual and unique to each relationship, but it is possible. So, do you believe?

Online dating is something that more and more people are looking into because it is relatively risk free dating. Instead of wasting your time out on the town with a date that may or may not work out, you can now look for people online and choose to interact with them for a period of time before you actually meet! Online dating is fun, safe, and a dating resource that can get you maximum exposure with minimum effort. Young and old are having a great time with online dating because you can make it a customized experience.
Online dating is usually done through dating websites, of which there are hundreds. A couple of the most popular dating websites are Yahoo Personals and www.match.com both of which have thousands of users that can all post profiles about themselves, what they are looking for, as well as the ability to interact with one another until they find a person that is just right for them. The great thing about these websites is that everyone can find someone here, as you dont have to be looking for a long term relationship to fit in, youll find people that are looking for serious and not so serious relationships on these websites.
What is great about online dating is that even when you are not online you are promoting yourself. Once you post your profile and set up your membership, your information will be available to others that are looking for a date 24 hours a day. This means that even if you and your Mr. or Ms. Right would have never crossed paths before, youll have a great chance of checking out one anothers profiles and getting to know one another online. You could be living just miles away from the one but because you dont hang out in the same places or with the same crowds, you might not meet if it werent for online dating.
While many relationships today progress much faster than most of us are comfortable with, with online dating you can choose to advance your interactions as quickly or as slowly as you are comfortable with. If you like to take your time and want to get to know people really well, you can take your time simply exchanging emails with possible online matches as long as you want, and then you can move to the phone, and then eventually you can meet in person. Online dating is a high tech and modern way to date, but it brings back some old school elements because the relationships dont advance so quickly.
Online dating doesnt cost a lot of money or take a lot of time, which makes it appealing for many. If you want to date more but you dont have time to hit the bars and clubs to meet people, meeting people online is a great way to meet people and even create lasting relationships. With so little to lose and potentially so much to gain, it is no wonder why online dating has become so popular.
