Successful Online Dating

Continuing our serious on mistakes women make with men and how you can avoid them – from Christian Carter, author of Catch Him and Keep Him.

Assuming You “Get” Men & Their Psychology

Men are different from women.

You need to accept this fact, and deal with it.

When a woman sees a man, she can very quickly pick apart certain things about his style, body language, status and character that will tell her all kinds of things about him.

Lots of women don’t even consciously see that they do this because the process is so obvious and simple for them.  Read more...

Christian Carter has written an e-book about dating and relationships, Catch Him and Keep Him, that I downloaded a couple of years ago. I learned quite a lot from it and with permission, we’re disclosing some of his tips on dating and relationships between men and women. Some of it you may already know, but some of the information may be new to you.

Each one of these needs some thought, so we’re re-running this as a daily series for 10 days. Subscribe to our feed so you don’t miss one!  Read more...

By now, you know that I prefer that first dates be kept short, simple and flexible. This allows you to fairly easily and painlessly escape a date that is not going well, while leaving plenty of room to continue on if everything is moving in the right direction.
