10 Tips on How to Give Yourself the Best Chance for Success on a First Date- Especially if You Have
Copyright 2006 Heartmind Connection, LLC
Let's say during the last couple of weeks you have communicated with someone of interest via emails and several telephone conversations.
There is obvious "phone chemistry" and there is a mutual interest in meeting each other.
You both agree to meet in person -now for the moment of truth!
1. Visualize Success:
Think about your wonderful attributes and not your faults.
Take an inventory of your values, skills, talents, interests and "heart".
Leave all your negative thoughts at home.
2. Keep Your Expectations in Check:
Don't start imagining yourself at the alter with your date.
Ask yourself these 3 questions: Do I like the person? Does the conversation flow easily with one another? Is there any kind of attraction?
That's it.
If you answer yes to these questions, then be open to seeing the person again.
3. Dress Appropriately for a Date:
Be presentable, neat, well-groomed and in casual dress clothes.
Don't come in a t-shirt and jeans for men and for women, do not come dressed to kill by looking overly sexy like you are going to a nightclub.
Strive to look like the guy or girl next door and someone who would be proper to bring home to their parents.
4. Be Prepared to discuss Five General Topics:
Prepare a list of topics such as current events; a subject of personal interest such as your volunteer activities, your work or outside work interests; any books you are reading; any movies you have seen lately and favorite sports to watch or participate in. Do not talk about your divorce or your last boyfriend.
If you have children, you may talk about them briefly- do not bore your date with hours of stories about your kids.
5.
Use Your Values as Your Guideposts:
Know what's most important to you and look to see if your date has similar feelings.
Pay close attention to anything that makes you uncomfortable-your gut is usually right!
6. Pick
a Quiet Place Where You Can Talk:
Meeting at a coffee house or a bookstore is best.
You may decide to take a stroll if it feels right. Don't get involved in a meal since paying for the meal may become an issue.
Also, don't go to a show or a movie where it's difficult to talk.
7. Plan on Spending One to Two Hours Max:
The purpose is to see the person and to get a feel of a person.
It's best not to drag the date on.
Besides, you need to leave some stuff to talk about during subsequent dates!
8. It is Best to Meet During the Day: It is more relaxed to meet in the late morning or afternoon during the weekend.
A week day evening is the next best thing.
Weekend evenings are too much pressure and feel like a serious date.
You may be tempted to do stuff you will later regret!
9. Always Be Courteous and Kind to Your Date ? Even if You are not Interested:
You never know where you will see him or her again and who his or her friends are.
Always treat people the way you wish to be treated
10.
If all goes well:
Women- be open to going out again.
Studies have shown that women have gotten married to men that they were not really interested in at first.
Men- trust your gut- if you are not attracted- be pleasant and be honest.
Never say, "I'll call" and not call!
By following the above tips you will most likely have a more pleasant first date experience.
Hopefully, it will lead to future dates if you so desire

School is in Session--Tips From Consolidated Credit Make Costs Less Burdensome Now and Throughout the Year
(ContentDesk) August 24, 2005 -- To avoid your budget being blown throughout the year, prepare a checklist of needed items and establish a budget each time before you go shopping. "A budget enables parents to set a good financial example for children.
It's an excellent opportunity to teach young people about the importance of paying attention to prices, controlling spending and knowing the difference between needs and wants", says Howard Dvorkin, founder of Consolidated Credit Counseling Services, Inc. Shopping advice: 1) Let kids pay for some items with their own money. If your fashion-conscious son or daughter wants a pair of pricey designer jeans, for example, you might offer to pay up to the cost of a less expensive non-brand pair and let him or her pay the difference.
2) Consider teaming-up with another family and buy
items needed in bulk quantities.
By shopping at warehouse discount stores, two or even three families can divide purchases

Your Weight Loss Problem: How-To Cure It By Watching Movies Or Reading Books!
I don't know anything about you but if you're anything like me then you struggle with a weight loss problem. Your weight loss problem consists of you struggling to keep your weight down or struggling to make your weight go down. Most people who see me wouldn't believe that I have a weight loss problem, but I do. I've battled bulimia and constant gains and losses in weight, of ten pounds each time. Thats what I call a big weight loss problem.A lot of women and men with the same or a similar weight loss problem would sympathize with me I'm sure.
I want to look good (who doesn't?) so that always motivates me to go on a diet. But after sticking to a diet for a week and dropping the unwanted weight my love for good tasting food overpowers my need to feel attractive and the weight piles back on pound by pound. There is always exercise to help with a weight loss problem, I remind myself as I lie lazily on the couch chomping down on one of my non-diet treats. "Sure!" I groan "I don't...

Boxer Shorts
Boxer shorts are underwear made usually for men. They were dubbed "boxer shorts" because they were patterned from those worn by professional boxers.
Boxer shorts first appeared in the 1930s, but they weren't so popular since men back then were so accustomed to briefs. It was only two decades later those boxer shorts gained a following. It needed one Nick Kaman to wear them in a popular jeans-brand outdoor billboard advertisement in the 1980s. Even though up to now, boxers are still not as popular as briefs, there is a swelling preference for boxers today.
Boxer shorts have certain advantages compared to other underwear.
The majority of surveys say that women prefer seeing boxer shorts on men. The opening in front of the boxer shorts allows convenience for men when nature calls. There are also more patterns, styles, and colors available on boxer shorts as compared to briefs. They can also be taken off more easily. Doctors also say that the cool temperature...

The Gift Shopping Blues
When it comes to great gift ideas, I have about as much imagination as a hamster. (If they were imaginative, hamsters wouldn't run endlessly in those little wheels). It's odd, really. I'm what you'd call a "natural" when it comes to shopping. I LOVE to shop. Give me an entire day at Filene's Basement and I'm in Heaven.For the uninitiated, Filene's Basement is one of the most famous bargain basements in the United States.
