Are You The One Involved in An Office Date?
Aug 19, 2009 Lifestyle
What type of image comes to your mind when we talk about the office ambiance? Office is a place where we work and achieve our targets. But these days many people are using offices for the purpose of dating. Well this is the outcome of the research of the popular job search website CareerBuilder.com.
Tell me, how many of us have gone for a date with an office colleague? According to the research, four people out of ten went out for a date with their colleagues.
This new research clearly indicates that people are preferring offices more than the usual dating websites and coffee shops! Office area is slowly converting into a place to do romance and have relationships. You would love to know that 30% of the people generally marry to the person with whom they went out on a date in their office.
Rachel, one of my friends who married her co-worker, dated him for around one year. She says we normally spend 10 hours in our office, so we never get the time to meet people beyond our office premises. This is the prime reason why we normally chose our date-mate from our offices only.
This is a reality for most of us. Office is the place where we generally spend a majority of our time. Above all, the work pressure these days is so high that we never get the time to interact with people outside our office world. During the interaction with our office colleagues, we gradually start dating them and thus start a new relationship with them!
Just remember these few tips and you will surely have a successful love relationship in your office. The golden rule of successful office dating is that you should avoid dating with your immediate boss or supervisor. Try to date with the colleague of almost the same level, or a person who is not working in your department.
The second tip is to avoid using official mail id’s to express your personal feelings. It is really dangerous. Also try not to express your love notes on the official chatting system, as these can be monitored by the authorities and you might come into a situation of crisis. Official mails are always public, so use the personal mailing system to express your love feelings.
My third tip for a successful office romance would be to avoid any public display of your feelings. This can create worse situations for others. I would rather suggest you that if you are dating with some one from your office, then don’t display it openly!
These three tips can be helpful for those people who are looking for an office date, but are unaware of its side effects. You may lose your job if found guilty! Sometimes the matter can become worse and your senior authorities can ask you to resign immediately!
Another side-effect can be related with “facing your ex-lover.” This can become even dangerous if you were involved in your previous love relationship for a long time. It is really tough for people to face their ex, and you can be one of them. So if you are ready to face these two in your life then go ahead and date your colleague!

Apr 16, 2009 Relationship Advice

So let me guide you through these quick budget dating tips which won’t be heavy on your pocket and at the same time would give you the pleasure of a satisfactory date.
Try meeting at each other’s place: this is probably one of the best options in the time of recession. Try cooking a meal for each other at home rather than ordering from outside. This would not only be light on your pocket, but would also help you in improving your relationship. By meeting at home, you can also spend quality time with each other and talk about whatever you like which you can’t do by meeting outside.
Go museum: museums are another place where you can enjoy and spend less at the same time. The tickets and food at museums are much cheaper and people visiting are less. So you can have some degree of privacy as well. It’s All the better if one of the partner has interest in the museum’s belongings.
Morning shows of movies: nothing can beat catching a movie at a theater when it comes to dating. So try watching the morning shows as the tickets cost less at that time. Also avoid multiplexes and go for single screens as multiplexes are expensive. With recession going on, certain theaters have slashed their ticket prices so catching a movie I certainly a better options.
Be vegetarian: ok so you have to take your darling out for dinner and you can’t avoid it in any circumstance; so try and be a vegetarian.

11 Guides through which we can enjoy our first date
Mar 23, 2009 Lifestyle
Ok, so it’s your first date ever and you are super excited about that. Obviously you are nervous as well and want to put in every effort to impress and enjoy your date. If you are also in a situation like that, then you better continue reading!
The following tips, I hope would help you in some way or the other to emerge out victorious on your very first date!
- Control the excitement: It’s nothing but natural to be excited on your first date. But don’t let it overflow or you might just end up making a fool of yourself in front of your date.
- Be realistic: So you are hoping for your date to be that handsome hunk or hot chick. But it doesn’t always turn out to be as that. So have realistic hopes so that if your date is nice it’s good, but if it’s not that nice then even then you are not too disappointed.
- Dress appropriately: so it’s your first date and you want to look your best which is absolutely fine. But remember not to get carried away and make yourself look like a fool. It’s very important to dress up comfortably. You sure don’t want to think about your dress appearing too tight in front of your date!
- Keep a dental kit handy: bad breath and lack of dental cleanliness is probably one of the biggest turn offs. If you wish not to be caught with a piece of chicken hung up between your teeth on your first date, then keep a dental kit in your bag. It should ideally have a mouthwash spray, floss, toothpick and mint gums.
- Try new venues: move away from standard movie or lunch. It’s been overdone I guess. You can go to a music concert, amusement park or museum to bring out a fun element. You tend to enjoy more in a music concert than a movie theatre where you can’t even talk to each other properly.
- Avoid places with too much eyecandy: ok, so you want to visit the hottest hang out zone of youngsters for your first date, but that could be really dangerous for you. You can end up longing for a hunk or chick other than your date, needless to say which would certainly ruin your date. Oh yes, even worse can happen. Who knows your date might just start hitting on someone else!
- Don’t tell stories about your crushes: it is an obvious question to ask a person on his/her first date-you must have had crushes? Fine if you had some, it’s ok to give a brief mention. But don’t go overboard and start telling stories of how badly you liked that guy/girl but could never express.
- Talk about common interests: one of my friends once kept on talking about legendary poets and their works on a date, only to know that her date had never even heard their names before! So it’s better to talk about something which interests both of you. Try not to get too personal, you never know which thing might pinch him/her.
- Try another place if you don’t like the current one: your date has invited you to a movie which you absolutely hate and can’t bear to watch even a second of it-there is no point sulking. Clearly and politely put your point forward that you are really not enjoying and would like to go to some other place, if fact suggest a place which you think you both would be able to enjoy.
- Have a positive attitude: even if your date is not quite turning out to be as you expected, don’t be shattered. Keep a positive attitude. Your date might just have a surprise planned for you. Look forward and keep your cool.
- Don’t sulk if you don’t like your date: so the guy/girl isn’t really your type and you have discovered it soon enough on your date. What do you do? Relax, don’t hit the panic button. Just go with the flow and if you really don’t like him/her just let that be your first and last date with that person.

You don’t go for a date on this Valentine Day? Don’t worry, with the growing technology you can now enjoy the company of sweat girls on a virtual date, in which you can easily represent yourself virtually and can even enjoy the lovely kiss, favorite music and many more.
During last week I found lots of articles on dating tips. After all it was Valentine Week, but I know there are so many people who don’t have the girl friend with whom they can go for a date. One of my friends, Florence, who resides in LA, did not go for date just because she doesn’t have any one with whom she can go out.
This is not the problem of Florence only, not every one is as lucky as I am. I went out for a date with my Valentine on Valentine day and enjoyed the whole day with her. Don’t worry mate, there are so many websites which provides the virtual date facility to its users and these days they are getting more and more visitors.
With the growing affect of technology, lots of new websites are coming ahead, in which you can easily create your profile, set up your image, or virtual avatar, and then choose your partner from the long lasting list and then you can go for a virtual date along with your lovely partner. On the date you can also play your favorite music, and even you can virtually kiss her.
It is a fact that if you don’t know much about any one, then you will become more interested to know about him or her. This is the main reason behind the success of all these online dating websites. They provide the satisfaction to the visitors and this is what they are actually looking for.
So the growing technology is making life more enjoyable and romantic. You don’t need to feel lonely, just because you don’t have some one with whom you can spent the evening. You can choose from different profiles and go for a date every day. Best thing is that if you are going for a date then no one is going to able to know about your date. No one has the right to access your personal data.
So I think online dating is the best way to go out and enjoy your date. These days tendency of living a virtual life is increasing, a few days back I read one report about the same in a daily newspaper.
The only problem which I consider with virtual dating is you will never became sure about the real gender of the person with whom you are going on a date. I have seen many guys who create the profiles of girls in different sites and they enjoy making fun of other guys. I personally don’t like this attitude and probably this is the only reason why I avoid using any online dating service.
We know that there are pros and cons of everything; similarly virtual dating too has the same, now it is on you to choose the good part or the bad part. Happy Dating to you all.

Choose Safe People and Safe place for Dating!
Sep 21, 2008 Lifestyle
Dating can be fun only if it’s with the right person and at the right place. Always make sure that you are with a safe person while dating.
Here are some ways that can help you recognize a date as a safe person.
1> A safe person will respect your boundaries: If a person is considerate towards your needs and expectations then it is passable to date such a person. An unsafe person would not pay heed to your feelings and it would be unwise to get into such a relationship.
2> A safe person will not treat you like a child: You may want to reconsider your decision of dating a person who treats you like a child. Healthy relationships are characterized by people who relate as equal adults.
See if you recognize these other characteristics of an unsafe date:
- Gives advice without seeking it
- Distrusts your judgment
- Is critical
- Is convinced that you need help navigating life
- Disapproves of you
- Withdraws when you make adult decisions with which he disagrees
3> A safe person will forgive you, not condemn you: You have to make sure that the person you are dating is sensible enough to handle arguments or conflicts maturely. If he keeps condemning you for everything, that means he has a penchant for holding grudges. You might want to stay away from such people.
4> A safe person is responsible: An irresponsible and reckless date can drain you out emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Love can only bloom where there is empathy, trust and maturity. So it’s very essential that we take extra caution in choosing whom we spend our time with.
As important as it is to be with a safe person, equally important is the place where you go for the date. The place should be such that both of you can have fun and enjoy each other’s company. By taking a few moments to assess a location in advance, you can spend the rest of the time worrying about having a good time.
Try to select a place where there are a lot of people around. It might not sound like a very intimate place but it sure is the safest. You can always shift to a relatively less crowded place once you are sure that you are comfortable with your date. Bars, restaurants, Cinema halls, nightclubs etc are some of the safe public places.
Outdoor places like a park, zoo, outdoor ice ring etc are safer than remote or secluded ones. You might want to avoid meeting at home for the first time as it might get uncomfortable for your date to feel free in the confines of your house.
Another safe option is to have a group date. If you want to avoid crowded places, you can opt for a double date with another set of friends. This way you can have an intimate conversation with your date with the security of knowing that you have a friend there to help you. Or you could go to a house party where there are plenty of people nearby by, but it will probably be easy to find a space for some alone time.
