1. Online Dating – Find an awesome online dating site and stick to it. I often move from dating site to dating site and sometimes I just don’t get it right. Often they are expensive and sometimes you just have a hard time even working out how to use them! I’m not the most tech savvy person, but I love meeting people online. My first point of call will be to read Ollie S’ review of Free Dating Sites for 2010.

2. Being more receptive to male advances – As a girl, we get approached by guys all the time. I have heard it all, the good pick up lines, the bad ones, and the ones that make me just go, Huh? Well, I’ve decided to make it a new years resolution for 2010 to be more receptive. I know that a lot of my girlfriends have said similar things.

3. Take up a new co-ed team sport! Sports are great ways to meet people, and I have always stuck to single person sports like tennis, and all girl sports like netball. Well, I would love to try something with guys as well! After all, who doesn’t like a sporty guy! I am thinking that beach volleyball or even 10-pin bowling might be interesting. Any other ideas guys? Help me build a list of great new co-ed sports. Just tell me on the forum.

4. Thinking up more cool new dating places - Sometimes, its me that’s making the plans for a date. I don’t mind this at all, and the traditional times where the male always came up with the date plans is over! 2010 I’m going to take charge, and try some cool new dating venues, and date ideas. If there are any girls reading this – what about trying to take your man to do something he would like, like going to an indoor shooting range? Or how about getting a big group of guys and girls to go paintballing instead of speed dating!

5. Speaking of Speed Dating – I would love to try more speed dating. A busy life has funnily enough stopped me from going on speed dates. They are always held during times when I already have other committments. If its not writing on here, its taking the dating classes in New York. If its not that, its catching up with my girlfriends, or going on one-on-one dates. I will try some more speed dating events. I always tell my readers and students that speed dating is just dating for busy people – and look at me! Time to put my own words into action!

6. Finally – to try new things in the bedroom – I’m always up for experimenting, and 2010 is going to bring new fun into the bedroom! Time to start reading the Kamasutra again!

I hope you like my Dating New Years Resolutions for 2010. Just a bit of fun I know, but lets try to build this list up if you can! Let me know what your 2010 Dating New Years Resolutions are.

Happy dating

Online dating seems to be expanding from the sharp, scary world we all used to hear about in the papers, to the soft, loving experience that we all know now. Whether it be rsvp.com or similar, more and more people appear to be moving from conventional dating to more interesting ways to meet new people. How are people picking up these days? Sure, bars and nightclubs are the usual things you will hear on dating websites, but what about all those other ways.

During the festive season, online dating may be a little more fruitful.

Firstly, many users who are longing for a partner to take to their work christmas functions will be more receptive to advances online. But boys, please remind yourselves to keep things tasteful online. Us girls never want to read about how you want to take our clothes off the first time you write to us!

Secondly, there are many lonely girls (And many just curious ones like me) that will spend more time online during the festive season. Its a fact that many men will experience a slight increase in the number of hits that they receive on their online profiles.

So keep these points in mind when you’re loading your profile on your favorite dating site! Here are a few others to think about

1. Change your profile picture on your online dating site with something to do with christmas. Us girls love these cute photos! Don’t worry about being a little silly…its more fun!

2. Write a few interesting memories that you have about spending christmas in strange places, or doing something fun. Girls respond to memories – it increases trust.

3. Make a new years resolution to update your online dating profile. Don’t let it stagnate!

So get out there, and move on!

Top Romantic Songs

The best love songs for singles and couples

Do you remember what song was playing when you had your first slow dance? What was on the car radio during that painful breakup? What song always makes you think of the one who got away? Of course you do. Music generates strong connections.

Associating music with romantic moments and memories is a universal tendency. Have you ever noticed how many songs are about love and attraction? Love is one of the most powerful emotions, and it’s no surprise that it has inspired almost every songwriter since the birth of popular music.

When we here at TopDatingTips began compiling a list of the top 50 most romantic songs across all genres, we knew hundreds of great classics and lesser known gems undoubtedly would be left off the list. There are just too many to include! Regardless, this list – in no particular order – is a great starting place. If you haven’t heard any of these, get ready to start downloading. You’ll most likely discover at least one old favorite or a few new classics among the list that you’ll want to have at the ready for the next special romantic moment.

Happy listening!

“Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton

An ode to your loved one and sung with heartfelt honesty by the guitar god himself, the beauty of this song is in its romantic simplicity: it’s a song about being proud to be with someone, a song of compliments and a song of love. You can’t do better than this for classic, romantic sentiment.

“God Only Knows” by The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys tended toward sun-drenched harmonies about surfing and cute girls, but “God Only Knows” from the band’s groundbreaking “Pet Sounds” album marked a huge shift. Grown up, heartfelt, and even spiritual, this song still chokes up listeners with its beauty.

“At Last” by Etta James
Hasn’t everyone at this point been to at least one wedding in which “At Last” was the bride and groom’s chosen song? I don’t point this out as disparagement. Rather, it’s the perfect example of how universally adored this song is. Any man can appreciate hearing that his girl considers him the prince and all others who came before him the frogs.

“Crazy in Love” by Beyonce
Love songs don’t always have to be sappy ballads. Just try to resist getting on the dance floor when Beyonce tells her man how crazy in love she is with him. Booty-shaking is as worthy a way as any to show your love.

“How Do I Live” by Trisha Yearwood
There was a time when every Hollywood movie needed a big, bombastic chart-topping song to accompany the climactic scene where the planet is saved, the boy gets the girl, or some other triumph is celebrated. Luckily for Trisha Yearwood, “How Do I Live Without You” is a great song that remains authentically romantic despite its inclusion in the “ConAir” soundtrack.

“When a Man Loves a Woman” by Percy Sledge
If you’ve never heard this song, stop everything and download it now. Play it, slow dance with your girl, and she’ll be in love. This works better than any potion or alcoholic beverage you can buy.

“Lovesong” by The Cure
“Lovesong” is proof that even the Goth kids at your school cared about love and romance. This sweet song’s chorus of “I will always love you” made it a staple on any mix tape. Lead singer Robert Smith might actually be as romantic as the song’s lyrics imply. He married his high school sweetheart in 1988 and they have been together ever since.

“Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli
The infomercials for Time-Life music compilations from the 50s and 60s always include this gem. “Can’t Take My Eyes off You” evokes nostalgic memories of date nights at malt shops and sock hops, but still resonates beyond its original context. This is one of the most romantic classics of all time.

“Sexual Healing” by Marvin Gaye
Original, sexy and very suave – there’s no mystery to where the evening is headed once this song is played. It’s likely that many babies have surely been born thanks in equal parts to cocktails and this sensual tune.

“I’d Die for You” by Bon Jovi
This heartfelt tune from Bon Jovi doesn’t dance around the topic of devotion with metaphors or figurative language; it goes straight to the heart of the matter. If someone sings this song to you, you’ll either be in love forever or need a restraining order quickly.

“You Light up My Life” by Debby Boone
This song definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but we all tend to be saccharine sweet when we’re in love. Be warned, though: this song’s like an insulin shot.

“Wicked Game” by Chris Isaac
Chris Isaac’s cooing voice is half country yodeler-half torch singer in this sweeping song of the wicked, wicked things a woman can do to a man powerless to love. The steamy video made a lot more sense when you discovered that Helena Christensen and Isaac were actually dating at the time the song’s release. Gorgeous.

“Love Me Tender” by Elvis Presley
There’s little to say about Elvis that hasn’t been said before, but his velvety voice was never better used than in this ballad. Few songs age as well as this one – it sounds just as romantic and heartfelt as the day it was recorded.

“I Need Love” by LL Cool J
In the early years of rap, romance simply wasn’t on the radar. Rappers just didn’t really take time out from dissin’ sucker MCs to tell a girl they cared. LL Cool J took a break from touting his own lyrical skills to pen what many consider the first “rap ballad.” Nothing makes a girl’s heart swell like a tough guy showing his tender side.

“Fade Into You” by Mazzy Star
You may not recognize the title or the band’s name, but you’ve probably been struck by the haunting vocals. Singer Hope Sandoval’s voice is whispery and paper-thin – almost as if it’s about to give out before it soars again. It’s shiver-inducing and simply brilliant.

“No Ordinary Love” by Sade
Sade’s seductive voice immediately turns the mind to romance. The soft undertones of the melody, the lilting notes of the song and the beauty of its lyrics have made it a staple among music collections since its release.

“Me and Mrs. Jones” by Billy Paul
With its velvety notes and deep luscious tones, “Me and Mrs. Jones” is made for smooching. If you find yourself with “a thing goin’ on” as the song says, this song will definitely be the soundtrack to your fling.

“Thank You” by Dido
Dido reminds us that no matter how crummy your day might be or what obstacle might cross your path, it’s always a little easier to swallow when you’re in love. It’s a great sentiment we can all relate to – that favorable byproduct of endorphins produced by romance. But beware, gentleman: playing the Eminem song “Stan” which samples Dido’s “Thank You” is not at all romantic, for obvious reasons.

“I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton
First things first: We didn’t choose the Whitney Houston version. It’s fine in its own right, but we prefer Dolly’s little country voice on this song to Whitney’s booming power ballad. But both versions became popular because of the song’s lyrics. Who doesn’t want a former squeeze to love them forever?

“Amazed” by Lonestar
This lilting country tune can charm even the most urbane of city folk. Play it for your girl or boy and it just might become “your” song.

“True” by Spandau Ballet
Most people can’t hear “True” without thinking first of “Sixteen Candles,” one of the classic, teenage romance flicks of the 1980s. For all its 80s smarm and saxophone solos, “True” is still a great love song.

“Destiny” by Zero 7
Most techno and dance pop doesn’t quite express emotion, let alone love. “Destiny” is a swirling, romantic song – and even the electronic chirps and whirrs don’t diminish that.

“I Want to Know What Love Is” by Foreigner
No one, and I mean no one, can resist the chorus to this song. C’mon. Admit that you sing along to this 80s classic when nobody’s around. How can you resist the swelling gospel choir’s background vocals and singer Lou Gramm’s shouts of “I want you to show me!” This song’s been known to make grown men weep like a baby.

“Nothing Compares 2 You” by Sinead O’Connor
Originally done by Prince, Sinead’s Irish warble made this one a surprise hit in the early 90s. If you weren’t moved by the song, the video – with the tight shot of O’Connor’s crying face — surely plucked at your emotions.

“My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion
Regardless of what you think of “Titanic” as a film, its theme song is a classic tale of romance. Though it may have become a bit overexposed, you can’t deny the rousing crescendo-building in piece, or the passion in Celine Dion’s delivery. Besides, what other song would you want playing while you stand, arms outstretched, at the front of an ocean liner?

“You Are the Sunshine of My Life” by Stevie Wonder
Some may find it corny (although undoubtedly less corny than “I Just Called to Say I Love You”), but Stevie can sing anything and make it beautiful. Besides, when you’re wearing the rose-colored glasses of love, your sweetheart probably does seem like the sunshine of your life. “I Was Made to Love Her” may be a better choice for the soul purists out there.

“Fix You” by Coldplay
Organs and acoustic guitar make this track atmospheric and ethereal. Normally a policy of “fixing” a partner isn’t one I’d endorse, but Chris Martin means it in the nicest way possible. See “Protection” by Massive Attack if you like this one.

“I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith
Indeed I don’t, and I would bet that neither do you, which is why this song is such a romantic masterpiece. Steven Tyler sings full throttle, but the sentiment is still tender and real. The opening few words say it all: “I could stay awake just to hear you breathing …”

“Lotta Love” by Neil Young
The Canadian hippie with the weirdest, and at the same time, coolest voice takes a break from harassing the “Southern Man” with this tender ballad. Check out Nicolette Larson’s version, which is a tad more 70s disco-funk (yes, there’s a disco cover of a Neil Young song!)

“The Look of Love” by Dusty Springfield
“The Look of Love” evokes images of mod, swinging London, but Dusty’s voice oozes sensuality and soul that reminded many of the sounds of 60s Detroit. This one is the perfect soundtrack for your next stay-at-home dinner for two.

“In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel
Peter Gabriel certainly owes Cameron Crowe a thank you for including this song in Crowe’s movie “Say Anything.” The scene in which underdog Lloyd Dobler hoists a boom box overhead blaring “In Your Eyes” has become an iconic moment in romantic cinema and turned the Gabriel song into a classic.

“My Funny Valentine” by Chet Baker
Love songs can tend toward soft jazz drivel, but Chet Baker’s haunting jazz standard “My Funny Valentine” reminds most people of a time when jazz meant “artsy” rather than MOR (middle of the road) or “adult contemporary.”

“Love Song” by Tesla
Even if you have a grudge against hair metal, this song will have you waving your lighter in the air in no time. Tesla may have sported the long hair and the acid-wash jeans, but they also had a way with melodies that put them beyond their contemporaries. This is definitely the power ballad you won’t be too embarrassed to admit you actually find romantic.

“Hey There Delilah” by Plain White T’s
A sweet and sincere song about long-distance love. Apparently the real Delilah never gave the writer the time of day, but knowing that tidbit of unrequited love just makes the song that much more romantic.

“Your Song” by Elton John
Writing a song for someone surely ranks among the most romantic acts on earth. When the song is actually good, the romantic quotient skyrockets. As much as you appreciated your 7th grade boyfriend’s 2-chord jam in your honor, Elton does it better.

“Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis
Honestly, the lyrics are pretty hard to decipher for this one. Is she singing about a love no one understands? Is this person someone who keeps hurting her yet she’s in love? It’s rather icky in places, with talk closing veins and bleeding love all over the place. Regardless, it’s a beautiful melody with beautiful vocals. Just beware of dedicating this to any potential sweethearts who may get the wrong idea.

“Unchained Melody” by Righteous Brothers
This song is almost obligatory in any list of love songs across the years. It’s a toss up whether this or “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” is the better song, but if we’re talking romance, we’ll go with the uplifting harmonies of “Unchained.”

“You Were Always On My Mind” by Willie Nelson
You may not think “romance” when you think of Willie, but the man’s all heart. Underneath that scraggly beard and the bandana is a sensitive man indeed. If you’re looking for a more upbeat song, check out Willie’s “Maria (Shut Up and Kiss Me),” a song that will make you want to grab a beer and dance.

“Every Little Thing She Does is Magic” by the Police
Really? Everything? You don’t mind that your love never remembers to put the cap on the toothpaste? Or that when you walk under the umbrella it’s you that keeps on getting wet? Or that she snores really loudly? Now that’s romance!

“Hero” by Enrique Iglesias
Most men are probably wickedly jealous of Enrique’s good looks and his relationships with gorgeous women (tennis player Anna Kournikova, most famously). But having watched his father Julio make women swoon over the years, Enrique probably learned that having the guys hate you is greatly outweighed by the benefits of female attention.

“Alison” by Elvis Costello
Although the song is another one of those “songs to an ex,” the true romance comes from one of the greatest lyrics ever to appear in a love song: “Oh Allison/My aim is true.”

“Un-Break My Heart” by Toni Braxton
Music charts in the 80s and 90s were absolutely littered with romantic ballads, but many of them were the soulless kind that sounded manufactured on an assembly line. Toni Braxton’s voice prevents this one from becoming one of the Top 40 radio casualties and makes us believe in the power of love to mend a broken heart.

“Wonderwall” by Oasis
The lyrics are nonsense, and if you read any music press you’ll know the lead singer’s a lout, but despite all those things “Wonderwall” is a swoon-inducing love song. The strings and guitar combined with said lout’s soaring vocals make for an earnest, romantic song.

“Breathe” by Faith Hill
Faith Hill and husband Tim McGraw have sung a few romantic duets, but her solo hit made a huge impression on those who can appreciate a good love song. “Breathe” was a huge crossover hit and proved mainstream record buyers would accept a love song sung by a country singer.

“Protection” by Massive Attack, featuring Tracy Thorn
Not everyone may find a woman singing about protecting her man romantic, but you can’t argue with the sentiment in Tracy Thorn’s voice. Also check out “Missing” by Everything but the Girl, which is Tracy’s usual gig.

“Fallin’” by Alicia Keys
Soulful piano ballad that sounds both like a past era and of its time. Anyone who’s been involved in a rocky love affair can appreciate the sentiment in this song, particularly when you keep finding yourself falling back in love despite yourself.

“Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall In Love)” by Cole Porter
There are very few love songs most of us know from the 1920s, but Cole Porter’s song has stood the test of time with its witty lyricism and imagery. The most quoted lines are usually: “Birds do it/Bees do it/Even educated fleas do it/Let’s fall in love.” This is the song that will add a spring to your step when you first fall in love.

“Melt With You” by Modern English
Skinny, pale English new-wavers don’t make for your typical romance experts, but they always seem like big authorities on love when they open their mouths to sing, don’t they? Or at least this particular song has resonated with lovers since its release. The fact that it was used in a Burger King ad for a few years diminished its impact somewhat, but thankfully we can all now hear this song and not immediately think of flame-broiled Whoppers.

“You’re Still The One” by Shania Twain
So many songs are written about infatuation, initial attraction or that spark that exists in the early stages of a relationship – what about the rest of the relationship? That’s probably why so many record buyers were touched by “You’re Still the One.” There’s probably nothing more romantic than knowing that, despite your flaws, idiosyncrasies and other foibles, your sweetheart would still pick you all over again.

“Take My Breath Away” by Berlin
Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away” was made for slow-motion camera work, wind machines and billowing curtains. It fit perfectly with the love scenes between Kelly McGillis and Tom Cruise in “Top Gun,” and consequently became the soundtrack to thousands of 80s crushes.

Enjoy!

Foreplay is an essential ingredient of a satisfying sexual relationship.

Women in particular like lots of foreplay to help them achieve orgasm and of course men love it to.

Here are ten tips to help you get more from foreplay and drive your partner wild with passion.

1. Don’t Forget To Kiss

90% of women in a recent poll said they liked to kiss more, so make sure that you kiss your partner and do it with passion.

The basics of kissing your partner are explained fully in our other articles, but the trick is:

To relax, use variety follow your partner, use your body and do it with passion.

Kissing is one of the best ways to show love and desire and is deeply personal, so make sure you do it correctly.

2. Target The Neck

If you want to target one erogenous zone to make your partner moan with ecstasy, it’s the neck.

It’s guaranteed to make any women melt and feel hot and sexy.

Make sure you lick, kiss and nibble it.

3. Target ALL The Erogenous Zones

We all know the obvious erogenous zones, but make sure you target them all.

Great erogenous zones include:

The back, and pay particular attention to the buttocks.

Most women have reservations about their bottom so show her how much you love it. Stroke it, kiss it and tell her how beautiful it is.

Other great erogenous zones include:

The ears – An incredible amount of nerve endings are situated here.

The feet – Reflexology targets the feet due to the connection they have to the rest of the body.
Make sure you take time to massage and kiss them, it’s a great way to relax your and turn your partner on.

The backs of the knees – Not really thought of as an erogenous zone, but an incredible amount of nerve endings are situated here.

The Inner thighs – Are highly sensitive and a great tease as your partner will wonder where your hands and lips will wander to next.

4. Oral Sex

There is not enough room here to cover all the ways to turn your women on with oral sex (see our other articles) but one thing is a must:

Communication – Many women complain that their partners do not do oral sex correctly.

So communication is a must, ask her exactly how she likes it and follow here lead.

Many women become very self conscious and think their partners are simply doing it to please them.

Show them you are enjoying it and they will relax and enjoy the experience even more.

5. Use Massage

Many women need to be relaxed to enjoy sex and get ready for full intercourse so add some sensuous oils into foreplay and pay attention to the back shoulders and the feet.

6. Set The Mood

Relax before hand and show you have made an effort.

Take her to dinner or make sure you have champagne on ice show your partner you care love and desire them.

For women sex is not purely a physical act, it’s a mental experience so show your partner how much you care.

7. Tease

Foreplay should be fun and not finish too soon.

Practice bringing your partners desire up and then moving away from the area targeted, tease her until she can take no more.

This will heighten the expectation and make full sex much more fulfilling when it comes.

8. Communicate

You need to explore your partner’s inner desires and try and please them. Many couples are reluctant to talk about sex but your both adults and you need to do so.

Don’t rely on trial and error, make sure you talk frankly and openly.

9. Try Something New

Don’t go through the same routine every time!

Sex will get boring add some different aspects and experiment.

This may mean introducing toys, food or whatever else you can think of.

Nothing kills a relationship more than predictability and boredom.

10. After Sex

Don’t just walk out – take time to tell your partner how much you enjoyed the experience.

Kiss cuddle and tell her how wonderful it was – Make your partner feel wanted.

1- Talk and tease

During foreplay, the power of suggestion (especially with some dirty talk) can be as great as the sex itself for many women. If you can describe how you want to touch her, where, and with which of your body parts, she’ll visualize it easily and eagerly. And if you know how to have sex with her brain (it is a major sexual organ), you can bet that she’ll be begging you to have sex with the rest of her in due time.

If you need to touch her while you dirty talk her during foreplay, avoid touching her breasts and vagina. Instead, focus your mouth and hands on her neck, wrists, inner thighs, lower back, and ears.

2- Get started in public

Foreplay doesn’t need to be restricted to the bedroom or inside four walls. If you and your girlfriend don’t start crying at the thought of public displays of affection (PDA), try doing some fun things out in the open. And by fun things, I mean such things as rubbing her breasts or respectfully patting her ass in a restaurant, kissing her passionately while having drinks at a bar or dirty dancing at a nightclub. Make an effort to turn her on wherever you are.

If you show her that she turns you on via PDA, when you finally do find yourselves in a private situation, the good times will lead to some carnal indulgences.

3- Strip down

Strip shows aren’t just for men anymore; women have gotten wise to the idea of having men perform a peel dance for them. While I don’t suggest you dance for her as you take off your socks or install a pole in your bedroom, I do recommend that you remove your clothes slowly (especially if you’re fit). Remove your socks before you do anything; they’re awkward and nothing turns a woman off faster than seeing a naked man with his socks on. Now that you’re set to go, start by removing your shirt (unbutton it slowly while maintaining eye contact), then your pants, and finally your underwear.

At this point, undress her just as slowly. Sit her down and remove her clothing in the same order you removed yours.

4- Use your fingers and give her oral pleasure

Once again, I have to say that every woman is different and, therefore, every woman likes to be touched differently. However, the same techniques that you hopefully used in high school are still effective in the majority of women. Bring your hand to her vaginal area and, with the tips of your fingers, rub her outer lips (labia majora) by spreading them apart and bringing them back together; that should start the lubrication process.

When she spreads her legs a bit, that’s a clear indication that she wants you to touch her a little deeper. At this point, you can start lightly rubbing her inner lips (labia minora), and then move up to her clitoris, which you should rub in a circular motion. Some women like their clitoris to be touched gently, while others prefer a more vigorous contact; read your girlfriend’s body language for a sign of what you should do.

After a few minutes, bring your mouth to the area and, while you continue to use your fingers to play around inside her, suckle her clitoris to give her some great oral pleasure.

5- Watch some sex and kiss her

Porn can be a great way to get you and your girl in the mood, provided that your girlfriend is the type who enjoys adult entertainment. Put on something that both of you can enjoy (preferably other couples having sex and something tailored to women), and lay naked with each other while you watch it. Remember that an “accidental” caress here and there is perfectly acceptable, even preferable.

Every now and then, stop watching the movie and kiss her or play with her body. Make sure to pay more attention to her than you do to the movie. As well, if you see something kinky that you’d like to try, make a comment about it and gauge her response, which will give you an indication of whether or not she’s game. The idea here is to get her imagination going.

India : Home of the Kama Sutra

1. The small of a woman’s back really is very sensitive. It’s even mentioned in the Kama Sutra. Take the time to gently kiss this area.

2. The lower lip is supposed to be connected to the clittoris. Gentlemen – get sucking!

3. A man’s Perinuem (the spot between the Testes and Anus) is referred to as the ‘Sacred Spot’. Use gentle and rythmic pressure on this spot to increase his arousal.

4. Hands on a woman – are an important erogenous zone in their own right! Start by kissing her hand, the fingers and her palm, and then slowly suck on one of her fingers. We think the pinky works best!

5. The triangular patch of skin on the underside of the penis head is incredibly sensitive to touch. Rubbing this area with the hand, or tongue will create great sensations.

USA

6. Don’f forget to kiss her neck, as well as the back of the neck. Start with the back of the neck, and then turn and face your woman, and kiss the sides of the neck. The sides of the neck are more sensitve so it’s best to work your way slowly there.

7. The inner thighs – for both sexes, are very sensitive. A great place to rub gently, kiss slowly or nibble.

8. Some of us are blessed with incrediblly sensitive ears – so make the most of this! Don’t chew or knaw – just start by gently sucking on them, followed by a gentle nibble.

Canada

9. A litte ice on a nipple – never hurt anyone! Give him or her (especially her) a variation on the suck and slobber. Gently rub some ice over the nipple for a few minutes, and then apply your hot warm mouth over the cold errect nipple. Lovely.

10. The slippery slide effect. Get hot warm oil over naked partner and gently rub self over the body. This works best if the slide is slooowww…and luxurious

11. Keep some clothes on! This may seem a bit strange, but leaving a few clothes on (until the very very…very end) can make the sensations more relaxing and sensual and the excitment just powerfull!

France

12. Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot. Take a few sips of some warm liquid.., and then place mouth over his or her nether regions, to give an amazingly warm sensation.

13. Don’t forget the boys! Many women over look the Scrotum – as it seems to be overshadowed by a whopping errection. Apply firm yet gentle finger tip pressure (in circles) now and again, and especially just before take off.

Italy

14. Women love having their breasts massaged – and it never ceases to amaze me how often men forget about this. Before rushing to suck and slobber, stop and pay homage to the lovely beauties, by gently massaging for atleast 10 minutes.

16. Male chests have feelings too! A gentle layering of kisses and nibbles will always be appreciated

Thailand

17. Men – if you’re worried about lasting the night – a bit of garlic, chilli and ginseng should do the trick.

18. Smell heightens the senses! And that means more pleasure and arousal. After bathing, apply small drops of perfume/cologne to the following areas: behind the ears, sides of the belly, tailbone, and behind the knees. Don’t ask me why – but it’s supposed to work.

Greece

19. Men – relieve yourself before hand, if you’re worried about premature take off. You will be less stressed, more aroused, and will last much longer.

20. When going down on a woman – don’t forget the neighbours! Do not lunge straight for the clittoris, it looks very amateurish. Gently lick and nibble the lips, the pubic mound, and inner thighs. Wait atleast 15 minutes before approaching her clit.

21. The skin underneath a woman’s breast is very sensitive to a loving kiss and nibble.

Morroco

1. Keep things real – it is only a date. Your life does not depend on it, whatever you may be thinking. This puts you in a better frame of mind. Many guys are scared of dating, and this shows. Relax!

2. Take your time getting ready. Don’t rush – if that means going home slightly early – do it. You will be prepared, sharp and ready…Rushing will make you seem a mess to an attractive woman.

3. Choose your outfit early and do make an effort to look nice. Your confidence will show through in how you carry yourself. Unless you are Brad Pitt, most guys need some confidence boosters. A new pair of shoes will help!

4. Play some nice music that puts gets you in the mood and makes you feel good. A CD that makes you dance around is always good to make you relax and exude confidence and happiness!

5. Make sure you know where you are going and when you need to be there. Rocking up an hour late, or getting lost isn’t a good look…Book a cab with time to spare.

6. IMPORTANT: Quality Aftershaves ONLY! These supermarket 2 dollar Lynx sprays will not suffice – despite what the ads tell us. Whilst your own nostrils may not be able to detect the half a bottle of Hugo Boss you have just drenched yourself in, your date will not be able to see you though the vapor cloud.

7. Give some thought to what you are going to talk about and what things you would like to avoid. It isn’t quite an interview situation and should never feel like one, but some of the same rules apply. Preparation is the key.

8. Tell a good friend where you are going just in case you need to “call in a favour”.

9. Ensure your shoes are neat and that you have remembered the accessories such as nice belt, watch and wallet. The details may not be so important to you, but they speak volumes about you.

10. Try to eradicate any preconceptions or expectations. This date doesn’t have to work. It is just a night out with a member of the opposite sex. If things do work out then great, but as I said at the beginning, be cool. Your date will spot any tiny signs of desperation on your part before you even know it which is why before arriving on a date you should do everything to make yourself relax.

11. If you wish to take flowers along, that’s nice but keep the proportions small and make things subtle and stylish. Like I said in my previous article – showering a girl with gifts is a sure way to make it look like you’re compensating for something – be it your personality, or your confidence.

12. Do not imagine you are going to score this evening even though it may not be far from your mind. By the same token, do make sure that your bed sheets are fresh and the place is tidy, just in case. I’ve always liked the saying: Plan like you’re live forever, and live like you’ll die tomorrow.

13. Picture the person you think you are about to meet and what you have to say about yourself, particularly with reference to any questions they may ask you.

14. Even at this early stage remember that you will not be telling anyone that you love them this evening (See my previous article on revealing your feelings!).

15. Body language speaks more about you than you think. Think about your body signals in advance as well as remembering how to read theirs so that you can pick up all the standard interest signals. It tips the scales in your favour when you know what they are thinking.

3. Do Bad Guys Always Get the Girl?

Flirting does require a bit of work and practice but once you have learnt how to flirt properly for your personality you will see your success with women improve astronomically.  Here are some beginner tips on how to flirt.

1.  Girls love flirting

Women, like men, love attention and being admired.  “Flirting” is simply female speak for the male term “pick up”.  Girls don’t want to be picked up as this makes them feel objectified whereas the term “flirting” has the connotation of something that is more fun and playful.  Flirting is like the way little boys will tease little girls to get their attention.  Deep down all women are little girls at heart.

2.  Flirt to make HER feel good

Most guys go into flirting with the expectation that they will succeed in getting a girl’s number or securing a date or some other notional measure of success.  Try change your mentality.  Tell yourself “I am flirting with this girl to make her feel good”.  If you approach flirting this way then you will make it more about her and less about you.  By doing this she will as if you are interested in her and not just about getting into her pants.

3.  Make flirting fun

Do you remember yelling to a girls in the playground the line: “Girls are weak, chuck chuck ‘em in the creek.  Boys are strong, like King Kong”?  The response is that the girl will either chase you round the swings and slippery dips, or at worst, at least talk to you to defend why she is stronger than you and about how much little boys suck.  It’s the exact same thing with flirting- it’s just an adult form of play fighting.  What little boys do in the playground is the basis of the ‘cocky and funny’ approach to flirting.

4.  Start slow and build your confidence

Technology has given us many ways to practice flirting techniques without the need for face-to-face interaction.  If you are a shy guy this is a good place to start.  Online dating sites, text messaging, instant messaging and chat rooms are all ways that you can hone in your skills on what flirting techniques will work for you.  Make sure that you are funny and keep your messages short.  It’s better to pepper her with short messages that will brighten her day than a long email that she will never finish reading.

5.  Practice, practice, practice

Make every woman you meet (bar your family members!) a person you can practice your flirting skills with.  Because you now have the mindset that you are flirting for her benefit you will come across as a guy who is fun to be around rather than a sleaze.  Practice your cheeky grin, wink  or new line.  Gauge their reaction.  If a colleague is offended by one of your lines, then chances are that it is best to kick that one out of your flirting game plan.

6.  Control the conversation

When you are starting your flirting career it’s important that you get your confidence up.  One way of doing this is to make sure that you are the person who ends the conversation.  A typical example:  you are in the line at the supermarket or ticket counter and you start flirting with a girl.  You get your groceries/ tickets paid for and it’s time to move on.  Deep down you desperately want to ask for her number.  Resist the urge for the first 20 or so times you start flirting with strangers.  What you need to do is say something like “It was great meeting you, but I really must get going”.  By doing this you have controlled the interaction and this will build your confidence.  There is nothing worse than being shut down when you ask for her number or have her walk off without saying anything at all.

So here are a few beginner tips for flirting with women.  Look out for my other articles on flirting and dating. Or read Harry’s flirting tips!

1. Hit the great outdoors
Nature offers us so many places to enjoy a lot of the time for no charge whatsoever. Take her to the beach for some fun in the sun, on a trek through a local reserve or on a picnic by a stream or waterfall. Pair this with a simple picnic hamper and you will have won her over.

2. Play chef for the night
The internet is full of free recipes from every corner of the globe. Find out what type of cuisine gets her mouth watering and plan to cook her something that will excite. You can either do it by yourself or together. Some women love shopping for food, assisting with t he preparation and cooking. You can share the total experience together and enjoy the fruits of your labour.

3. Get some culture
Many cities have free events especially over the weekends and in the evenings. Book readings, street theatre and comedy shows are just some easy to find entertainment ideas. All you have to do is a quick search you local info guides.

4. Be do-gooders
There are countless charities around that would love for you to offer your time. Volunteer at the local animal shelter or nursing home for a warm fuzzy feeling that you can share together.

5. Reinvent the movies
Get a friend over and move your TV out of your lounge room and into a new environment. Grab a DVD and you can be sharing popcorn and a fantastic night with your date enjoying a movie under the stars in your garden.

6. Child’s play
Many women love kids. Offering to babysit a neice, nephew or friend’s kid can be a fun way to spend your day. But make sure your date is someone who like kids otherwise the idea is doomed! It also gives you an excuse to play in the sandpit and show off how high you can ride the local swing.

7. Satisfy her sweet tooth
Girls love chocolate. You can make it an adventure to discover some quaint dessert or candy stores. A cupcake or cookies whilst sitting in your local park is a cheap and easy way to impress.

8. Get educated
Many museums and art galleries have free entry. Try and pick one that suits her interest. Some girls detest paintings while abstract sculptures might get them excited.

9. Board games
Most of us were brought up with board games in the pre internet/ Nintendo/ Playstation era. Playing Scrabble, checkers and Monopoly often brings back fun memories of summer break and school holidays. Warning: be careful not to scare her if you have an ultracompetitive personality.

10. Take a tour of a local brewery or winery
Many wineries are set in beautiful green vineyards and offer free wine tastings. This is the picturesque backdrop to a perfect afternoon.

These are just some ideas that will keep you entertained with little financial outlay. But there is more than the venue – there are other things you should do on a first date.  It just goes to show that when it comes to fun dating ideas, a little planning and imagination can go a long way.

2. When To Call After The First Date
3. First Date Ideas

The Latte -

Widespread and rampant, the Latte has long become a staple when ordering coffee. It has slightly larger froth (or head)  when compared with a flat white, but both are often interchangeable except for the cup. Lattes are produced to you typically in a glass cup with a napkin wrapped around it to stop you burning youself. My team of experts have assured me that you should order a latte after you have gotten to know a girl first. Girls watching you will think that you are a but of a wuss, unless you are actually from Italy. Some will think you are hopelessly butchering the word “Latte” unless you are actually from Italy.

The Flat White -

Similar in taste and consistency to The Latte, however may not have as much froth on the top. The Flat White is served in a cup, and appearances are more of a standard coffee. You definitely wil

l NOT give the illusion that you are a pretty boy if you order this one, and it was recommended that if you like your coffee with milk, then this is the one to order to stay in the safe zone. Having said that, if your girl is

 adventurous, ordering a flat white makes you look slightly boring.

The Cappuccino - 

A flat coffee with no body to it, it makes up for this with a very froth top, coated with chocolate powder. As appealing as this sounds, girls find this drink Yummy for themselves, and will not portray you in a strong light. In fact, by ordering a cappuccino, the overall signal given to women is “I do not like coffee, and thus have to coat it with girly chocolate to drink it”. More so, you have to drink it with a spoon at first, and that is not a masculine affair. Stick with other coffees, unless you can’t, in which case, you will need to boost your profile in other ways.

The Macciato -

Meaning “Marked” or “Stained”, this drink is a short coffee. It is basically an espresso with a stain of milk in it. If you like your coffees hard and fast, then this may be for you. Most people ha

ve a touch of sugar with this coffee. From my panel of experts, the imag you will give if you order one of these is a good one. Girls will think that you are cultured for even knowing how to pronounce Macciato (Muck – Ee – R – Toe) – but make sure you get it right. There is nothing worse than mucking up the name of the coffee that you supposedly order all the time. If you are unsure, find an italian friend and have them say it over and over again.

The Espresso -

One shot of dark, liquid gold – straight up. You order this, if you have no time to mess around. People on the go will order this, and often, this is not a hugely wonderful choice if you are on a date. After 20 seconds, your coffee is finished and you have to either get up to order another one or if you are in an establishment which correctly serves a glass of water with your espresso, you will need to sit there and sip water. Girls will think you are weird for ordering this coffee if you are there to spend time with them, unless you just got off a night shift. If you are drnking alone, this is a terrific option, as observing women at your local espresso bar will see you as someone who takes control and doesn’t muck around – a good build up for the future.

The Long Black -

A Double shot of espresso – often made incorrectly (Cheap coffee houses will only use 1 shot of coffee) – water is carefully poured into the cup to maintain the creme at the top of the coffee. This is vital. If you receive your long black without creme, it looks like a cup of instant coffee which is not “cultured”. Girls find this intriguiging. Never order a side of milk like some people do as it makes you look fussy – why not just order a flat white? Most people who order a long black appear a little hardcore, and this may be a good thing. Men who order this appear strong.

The Mocha -

2 words – stay away. Although a yummy drink when you were 6 and on school camp, this coffee is really not a coffee but rather a milo with coffee flavour. Women find this coffee intruiging only because they are wondering whether you also have tomato sauce with your agentinian steak. Forget about it.

The Vanilla Chai Latte with Mint -

OK, so you’ve read down to the bottom of the list…waiting to find the coffee that you drink. If you are drinking any form of Vanilla, Chai or Mint when it comes to your coffee, then you need to go back to the start of this list and start reading my comments again. My sources confirmed to me that by ordering these types of coffees, you will be best friends with girls – but only because they are hoping that you will go handbag shopping with them later. The only time that you should be ordering one of these if when you are ordering it for your competition. Just deliver the coffee to another guy and say, “Oh, sorry, the girl said that this is what you always get…” – competition removed. Of course, unless you are going for the female attraction to Gay Men angle, which I don’t suggest.

So no matter what coffee you order, you must know how to be confident and portray a great frst impression.

Discuss your coffee usage on the forum.

Impressing a girl does require a bit of planning but you will be well rewarded for putting in that little extra time to make the first date one that is memorable for her.

Going to a movie for a 3 hour date is something you might have done in high school bu this is hardly the best way to get to know someone better.  Here are some dates ideas to stimulate your imagination.

1.  Up, up and away
A ride in a hot air balloon is sure to get her excited.  Plan the day in advance.  Many operators only do early morning and evening flights.  Weather conditions are important so make sure that you choose an appropriate time of the year to avoid disappointment.

2.  Get down to earth
Picnics are a great way to spend a date especially if you choose a good location.  Head down to your local supermarket and load up on a selection of cold meats, dips, crackers and cheese so that you have a reasonable selection just in case she is vegetarian, lactose/ gluten intolerant.  Make sure you get something sweet to finish with but nothing that will melt.  Also remember to get the insect repellent in the warmer months.  Nothing will kill the romance faster than a pack of hungry mosquitoes.

3.  Drive her crazy
Go kart racing is a great adrenaline rush and will give you plenty to talk about afterwards.  Make sure you warn her in advance that she will need to wear comfortable clothes.

4.  Fun on the sand
Head down to your local beach for and endless list of first date activities.  Go for a snorkel, build a sandcastle or hit the volleyball court.

5.  Play ball
Many great dates have begun at the local billiard/ pool hall, bowling alley or mini golf green.  Generally these are activities that few women do on a regular basis and so they love the novelty of getting a strike or getting a hole in one.

6.  Amuse her
Amusement parks aren’t just for kids.  A ride on a roller coaster is a sure fire way to excite her.

7.  The star treatment
It will set you back a few pennies but hiring a limo for the night is sure to impress.  Cruising the streets with the sunroof open and a bottle of champagne is not just for the stars and will make you shine.

8.  In house catering
Hire a chef to cook for the two of you personally.  Be sure to check whether she has any food requirements beforehand.  You don’t want your perfect steak to go straight from plate to rubbish bin.

9.  Go dancing
A salsa class or night is a great way to get up close and personal.

10.  Jazz things up
Jazz and piano bars are scattered around the place.  A bottle of wine, some solo saxophone and soothing double bass provides the perfect backdrop for conversation.

Here are just some fun date ideas for your first date.  When should you call after the first date? Click here to find out

3. Cheap Date Ideas That Won’t Make You Look Cheap!

Is sooner better?  How long do I need to wait?  What will happen if I don’t call?

Here are a few pointers to guide you next time you need to plan that post first date phonecall.

Contact her soon only if you are 100% sure she is head over heels in love with you- I must admit that I usually recommend that the early contact is best left out of the first date routine.  It can make you look needy.

Wait two days before you call- The two day rule has been passed down through dating folk lore since the telephone was invented.  There are a number of reasons why this rule is is very important.  Firstly, calling her too soon will make you look overly keen.  This can make a woman feel suffocated especially if she has yet to establish whether she likes you or not.  Secondly, your scarcity makes you more appealing.  By waiting a couple of days she begins to wonder why you haven’t called.  This is especially potent if she is used to getting phonecalls very quickly after a date by guys telling her how much they love her.

When you call make sure you have something to say- A simple reference to something she might have mentioned on the first date eg. a visit to her Aunt Melba will make her know you were listening and are generally interested.  Also have arrangements in mind for your next date.  Do not succumb to your anxiety.

Keep the first conversation short- Your prime aims should be to let her know that you enjoyed the first date and to arrange a second date.  You don’t want to run out of topics to talk about for your next date and you may have caught her at a bad time.

Smile while you talk- Smiling will make your voice sound happier and you will be in a better state of mind when you make the phonecall.

Avoid text messaging- While SMS is a minimal risk way of communicating, arrangements are best made with a phonecall.  Restrain yourself from sending her multiple strings of SMS messages.  Too much contact from a stranger = irritating & clingy.

Keep your promise to call back- If you said you will call her, make sure you call back.  Even if this means to tell her that you do not feel there was any chemistry.  It is better to do this sooner rather than later.

Happy dating!
