The odds of finding your soul-mate online are a lot better than you may think. It doesn’t happen for everyone, of course, but it can happen for you. The world of internet or online dating has exploded over the last few years.

As our lives become busier and busier we need to make better use of our time and energy in our search for the one man who will make our lives complete.

The old saying, You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a princess is no longer true. Why kiss frogs when you can read hundreds of profiles and look at the pictures that go with them for a small monthly fee? That saves time and money not to mention lip burn.

These are a few good reasons to consider online dating:

(1) There is a wide range of men to choose from. You aren’t limited to the men in your social circle or work environment.

(2) You have the opportunity to get to know a lot about a man before you ever contact him for the first time. You will know his age, marital status, what city he lives in, whether he has children, his height/weight and his likes and dislikes all from his profile. You’ll even see a picture of him.

(3) You have a better chance to present yourself in a favorable way. This is especially useful for those of us who are shy. We have time to think about how we want to say things about ourselves and can avoid being tongue tied. Even those who are more extroverted can take time to reflect on who they really are before writing their online profile.

(4) Online dating is certainly a time saver. You can meet so many more men in a lot less time than you ever could out in the real world.

Based on the simple concept that people cheat and lie while dating and in relationships, the PlayerBlock service provides an outlet for the “playee” to share their experience. This experience is linked to the phone number of the offender. This shared experience may help others with future dating decisions.

Beyond the standard “Report a Player” and “Check a Player” features, The PlayerBlock service also allows members to “Watch a Player”. The watch feature increases our audience beyond the dating arena and into the relationship space.

In addition to the practical features of PlayerBlock, the service also has entertainment features. Members may use the “Random” feature that will show random comments left about other players around the country.

PlayerBlock and all of its unique features are available to members both online at www.playerblock.com and via text messaging using the short code 25626 (BLOCK). The service fee is $4.99/month billed directly to the member”s cell phone.

The PlayerBlock service is currently supported by most major wireless carriers including AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Nextel, Verizon Wireless, Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile. Other carriers including T-Mobile will be coming soon.

PlayerBlock was architected & engineered using various Microsoft technologies including .NET & SQL Server. The PlayerBlock service is running on powerful Dell servers and is housed in a state of the art collocation facility in sunny South Florida.

Global SMS is a privately owned company based in South Florida. Global SMS is currently developing additional SMS based services. The additional services will become available June 2008.

As China’s largest city, there are many different bars and restaurants in Beijing, covering all genres of nightlife. Bar-goers tend to be expatriates, foreign students, businessmen, white collar workers, artists, and university students.

Most of the bars and restaurants in Beijing provide a unique aesthetic ambience and great service. There are a large variety of bars in Beijing and several of them have their own unique gimmicks: “the bus bar”, for example, is located in an old bus; “the football bar” is a football-themed bar; and “the movie bar” is a venue where patrons can enjoy a large numbers of Western and Chinese movie.

Beijing Dating List for Dating:

However, for bar-goers who are more interested in the people, specifically the ladies, than the atmosphere, listed below are some of the best bars in Beijing for Dating–

Ou Thai Restaurant

A slight air of sadness hovers over this Beijing Thai restaurant. Iron chairs and multi-colored cushions create a pleasant but cold atmosphere at this restaurant, which is a key gathering point of several of Beijing’s most attractive women. Address: 32 Yandaixie Street, Xicheng, Beijing

Lotus Bar

Thousands of decorations, scarves and shawls, create a graceful, unique, and distinctly feminine atmosphere at the Lotus Bar, and the venue is one of Beijing’s more glamourous nightspots.

The interior decor of the bar is done in reds and greens to conjure up the image of the lotus flower and many beautiful patrons are drawn to its scent. Address: 29 Yandaixie Street, Shichahai, Xicheng, Beijing

Wen Shi Coffee

A scenic adventure begins at the entrance of Daoguan gate and continues through the intertwining halls of Wen Shi Coffee.

The seemingly casual decoration of the cafe belies a deeper, more clandestine mystery and the venue is a great place for intimate conversations. Address: 37 Yandaixie Street, Xicheng, Beijing

Loveshine Bar

Located outside of the southern wall of the Beijing Institute of Technology, the Loveshine Bar is an innocent and sentimental venue that is a favorite local hangout for Beijing girls and their admirers.

Delicate elements of the bar include its pink interiors, a butterfly wind bell, and a flying veil. Address: 12 Back Sea Lake, North Bank, Xicheng, Beijing

Cherry Season

The bar is also called “seven and a half” and on the outside wall is a line from pop singer Han Lei which reads, “Are you tired after a long journey?” The sentiment touches on the hearts of women who are worn out and world-weary from searching for love.

The Cherry Season itself combines the two totally opposite states of “loud” and “silent,” offering an area for live music performances and an area for silent relaxation. In this “silent” bar, a holy moon is added on the fake window, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere. Address: 3 Weigongcun Road, Haidian, Beijing

C’est La Vie

The name is derived from a novel of the same title and the red sofas and smooth decor in the bar create a cozy and comfortable ambience.

Located in Sanlitun, the C’est La Vie exudes an introspective and solitary vibe, and serves as a more serene alternative to the other boisterous bars of Sanlitun. Address: Sanlitu Bar Street, Chaoyang, Beijing

Public Space Bar

Formerly named “the White Room”, the Public Space Bar is decorated with black and brown granite counters red fabrics, and dark green chairs giving it the regal and indestructible feel of a European castle. Address: 50 Sanlitun Road (N), Chaoyang, Beijing

Dating online can be great fun, stimulating and exciting. So let’s first get it into perspective. Some of us just like to have fun but are sick of the singles bars and other similar nite spots that are the last resort for finding a decent partner or lover.

They often result in the wrong person even if you are lucky enough to meet someone. Or, you may have once upon a time met someone that ‘fitted the bill’ but over time this has proved not to be the case any longer, so…long story short, you are now once again looking for a better fit.

You might be just plain lonely or recently dumped by that someone who promised to be there forever.

If you’re senior in years, you may just be seeking a companion or someone who has similar interests.

These days, it’s quite likely that you are someone who’s busy most of the time and don’t have the time to go galavanting around the place looking for a date and attending dinner parties with the hope that your friends have selected a decent blind date on your behalf.

Whatever your reason, online dating can definitely help make it happen much sooner than many of the tedious activities which most of us have experienced at some stage. Of course, you are also able to do this late at night (24/7) in your ‘jim jams’ when you have the time or better still, the inclination.

If you’ve found what you believe to be a quality site, and it has a large enough database to support your searches, then you’re half way there. While I’m on it, you would be best to register with 2 or 3 dating sites so that you can spread you options that much further.

This brings us to an extremely important consideration and the most imperative part of the process – Your Safety!

I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but as much as Internet dating sites have proven time after time that they ‘deliver the goods’, someone nasty or let me say unscrupulous turns up.

These loathsome characters can be easily avoided simply by following these rules and proceeding with caution. Follow these guidelines and you will enjoy what could be the beginning of a wonderful relationship without taking any risks.

If you’re smart, these points will become your checklist and eventually a habit.

Remain anonymous – do not reveal your real identity, email address, home address, telephone numbers, your birthday or indeed, your place of work during your early days of communication.

Don’t be dissuaded from the above point!

If you are operating from home check your ISP server to ensure your profile is not revealing more than you’d like.

Use alternative email services for dating (I have listed FREE services at the bottom of this page).

Take your time in your first telephone discussions – ask questions (nicely) remembering that they are probably in the same position as you.

When you do decide to meet for the first time, make sure it’s in a public place ie. Coffee shop etc. Do not meet at each others home or anywhere secluded or remote.

Take a mobile with you and more importantly, tell a friend or relation where you are going. Some people even have a friend turn up and sit at another table for comfort – without anyone else knowing of course.

Here’s the last point – stick to all the above points no matter what!

Here are some sites for free email services to help you remain anonymous;

Atlink.com

Bigfoot.com

Email4

life.com

Netforward.com

Netaddress.com

Mailzone.com

Hotmail.com

Follow these rules and on-line dating can lead you to great friendships, lovers and often marriage.

For those looking to find new relationships, these are the top ten most popular sites:

- Match

- Yahoo Personals

- Friend Finder

- Date

- Millionaire Cupid

- Black Singles

- American Singles

- Perfect Match

- Amigos

- BBW Personals Plus

Scores are based on set criteria that outline the overall experience a user will have interacting with a dating site.

The criteria answers key questions such as how many people use the site, can non-members view profiles in their entirety and can you use search features to determine who is online before you join.

Answers to these questions should be readily available yet some dating sites insist on hiding certain aspects, giving, in many cases, a false sense of value.

In the realm of male-female communication, there are certain topics most of us recognize as single-sex only. We’ll spare you the details about the comeback the Jets made, and you spare us the details about Ethan, the ex who was so well-hung his penis had a nickname for him. This approach ensures that nobody gets bored, and nobody gets pissed off.

But love isn’t that simple. Fact is, there are other, less obvious subjects that men wish you’d reserve for your girlfriends. If you’re wooing a guy, never bring up the following five “turnoff topics:”

Turnoff topic 1: All the cute things your pet does.

We think of pets as noble beasts, as partners in adventure. Which makes it disturbing when you start talking baby talk to them. “Nipsy, wipsy. Your mommy loves you, oh, yes she does.” Coddling a pet makes men suspect that your ideal companion is completely dependent upon you for food, lets you dress him up in colorful wool sweaters, and can be castrated if he starts acting too frisky.

Turnoff topic 2: Your belief in alternative medicine.

I was talking to a woman at a bar recently, and we were really connecting … until she started telling me about visits to her vitaminologist. “He told me I had happiness stuck in my bladder.” No matter how important you may feel it is to share your spiritual side, remember: When you tell us about your experiences with aromatherapy, reflexology, or crystals, all we hear is unstable, unstable, unstable.

Turnoff topic 3: How impressed you are with what others make.

I was out with my best friend, Greg, who goes to law school. We met one girl who started assessing the crowd: “Oh, my God, there are so many law-school guys here tonight. You know, in their first year out of school they make $119,000!”

You don’t have to convince us that you’re oblivious to material possessions. But ogling a man’s paycheck — ours or somebody else’s — makes us feel like you’re attaching our worth to our wallets. And we know there’s always going to be someone out there with deeper pockets than ours.

Turnoff topic 4: How beautiful the scenery is.

When confronted by natural beauty, men prefer to contemplate it in silence. Women, for some reason, feel compelled to talk at just the moment when we most want quiet. I spent a week on a Mediterranean island with a group that included four women who never met a sunset they couldn’t ruin. (“That pink is so deep. I think it’s, like, the deepest pink I’ve ever seen.”) They failed to get the joke when my friends and I tried to give them a taste of their own medicine: “Look at that water! It’s just, like, so wet.”

Turnoff topic 5: Who your favorite celebrities are dating.

Demi and Bruce break up/make up; Oprah gains/loses 20 pounds. We don’t care. Pamela Lee opens her mouth real wide and accommodates all of Tommy’s manhood? Okay, we care. As a rule of thumb, unless they’re naked, we don’t want to know. Men have far too hard a time keeping up with their own relationships; the last thing we want is the responsibility of keeping up with the lives of people we’ll never meet.

The following sites are up your alley, as the first group are totally free, and the other sites offer free trials, free basic memberships or free options to meet people through specific formats. Since you have a choice among fifty sites, we hope that you’ll find a venue that suits your needs. Time is all you need — along with a little charm, a great photo and a willingness to be patient in your quest to find your soulmate.

We don’t favor one site over another; therefore, the sites below are listed in alphabetical order under each category.

Be Honest

So, your current escape plans includes bad table manners, checking other people out and using the restroom for a very long time. Do you really think you’re doing anyone any favors? It’s more likely that you are only making a fool out of yourself.

Instead, just be upfront with your date. Tell them, “Look, there is no hope for romance between us and I would like to end our date right now”. Keep your integrity.

Don’t forget that the other person has feelings too. Show them some compassion. You do not want to leave a permanent scar on his or her dating experience. How would you like it if you had to wait 45 minutes for someone to use the restroom?

Besides, they may actually end up being a better friend than a date.

Tell White Lies

So, you are not comfortable with telling your date the truth and you also do not want to hurt them. Now what? Try telling your date a white lie.

Some good ones include, “I am not feeling well tonight,” “I have to get up early tomorrow morning,” and “I have to get home before (whatever) time.”

Just remember to use only one white lie for every bad date. Do not use more than one because your date will see through your lies and you will end up looking foolish.

Your white lie is well intentioned, so don’t feel guilty about it. Not all lies are bad.

Do NOT Take The Blame

If you can’t bring yourself to tell your date a white lie, then you should place the blame on an external circumstance that you have no control over.

Tell them something believable. You could say, “I do not have time for a relationship right now because I am really busy at work.” Avoid anything that sounds ludicrous like, “My mom will not let me date anymore.”

Again, use only one external circumstance for every awful date that you have. Use more than one and your date will get the impression (ahem, realize) that you are making up excuses.

Placing the blame on an outside circumstance will help you get away from your date a lot easier without hurting anyone’s feelings or making things awkward.

Choose A Busy Location

When you go out with someone for the first time, it’s impossible to know whether the date will be good or bad. Therefore, it is best to choose somewhere busy to go out on your first date. The place should be well lit and have a lot of people around.

Choosing somewhere busy will make it easier for you and your date to get along because there will be more things to discuss. Having a lot of people around eases the tension and helps you stop feeling like you are under the microscope. It’s also a quick way to end the date because you could say that you need to go somewhere nearby and then blend in with the crowd. It’s not as awkward as leaving someone alone at a dinner table.

Keep in mind that you should always bring plenty of cash for a taxi or a bus. You cannot rely on your date to take you home, if you choose this option.

Make It A Double Date

If you feel that you cannot leave your date, then why not change the situation and make it a double date.

Let your date know that you would like to bring another couple. By having a friend or two along, you can take the date from horrible to fun. Why waste a perfect evening? Everyone can end up having a good time.

However, if your date rejects the idea of taking along another couple, assure them that in no way will this affect your own date.

Shhhh.I’ll tell you a secret but you have to swear that you won’t tell a single soul.Promise?Pinky-swear?Ok i’ll tell you.I am having a secret relationship with the girls of my dreams.You know Carmela?Yes,the one in our Chemistry class!She and I are online dating.

What do you mean you can’t believe it?Of course we are.Want to know what she did last Saturday?She spent it chatting with me.seven hours!Yeah!we met in an online chat room.I found out her user name a few weeks back.We were sitting there in class and she was talking to one of her friends and she mentioned that she went into “funkychat.com” and called herself “Diva”.So I started going online too.First I would just listen and then,after a couple of weeds I started to comment too.

Then,finally,about 3 weeds ago I invited her into a private conversation.It was awesome.She is so cool! I think I am in love.When are we going to meet up?You see that is my little problem.I don’t know how I am going to get to Paris.She thinks my name is “Pierre” and that I live in near Notre Dame.Apparently she gets to go there and we are supposed to meet up near the Eiffel Tower.Do you think if I tell her I am just the nerdy guy from her science class that she will still want to got out with me?
