Cosmo has a great online article with 17 essential dating tips…they are great! Here’s a sample:
It’s really easy to not only turn a blind eye to red flags when we’re dating someone, but then also not mention them to our friends, who would be objective and point out some home truths to us.
How many times has Mandi said to me, “You didn’t tell me THAT!”
Even so, we usually have this niggling little voice in our heads that pops up at odd moments to point out those troublesome signs we don’t want to acknowledge. Eventually, we reach a point in a relationship where we know things aren’t right, we’re getting upset and worried, but think we don’t know why. In reality, our subconscious knows perfectly well and is screaming to be listened to.
The experts say, “Yes!” At least under certain circumstances…
Any potential dating interest is worth one call.
From Tanja Weimer at Singles Dating Tips:
I discovered a really good article on able2know that’s well worth the read: Serial Cheaters – Narcissists. Here is some of what I gleaned from the article, but I recommend reading the entire article – as one commenter said, “Knowledge is Power.”
- Narcissists are self-absorbed and tend to be highly charming.
- They have a constant need for admiration.
- They view all events in terms of how the events impact them and them alone.
- They are master manipulators and feel an “emotional high” with each new conquest.
- Their behavior is often impulsive which can appear exciting.
You can’t get this directly from their site, but Chemistry.com has the following offer:
Three months for the price of one on Chemistry.com! You save more than 50%!
Since that’s a really good deal, I updated my profile yesterday, and they have since come up with 5 matches and 2 other guys that are interested in me. So I’m going to join today and see what happens. Sigh.
Chemistry.com is not as wide open as Match.com, although they are affiliated. On Chemistry.com you take a personality test, and they match you with others. No trolling through profiles or having hundreds of creepy guys perusing yours.
