Tired of the same old, same old when it comes to meeting new people? Do I have an option that will knock your socks off! Speed dating is here and it???s fast, fun and very enjoyable. Trust me guys and ladies, you???ll love it. If you don???t know what speed dating is, let me give you a basic run down. This unique format lets dozens of guys and gals get together for fast-paced introductions that can result in fantastic matches. A typical speed dating session involves a restaurant, bar or meeting area where there are tables set up for two. All the men (or ladies) sit down and members of the opposite sex take their turns moving around the room to meet everyone present. Basically, participants get to have timed ???mini-dates??? with every member of the opposite sex present. During the ???mini-dates,??? participants can ask each other ice-breaker questions so they can get to know each other better. All the while, men and women both are able to jot down notes on who they???d like to get to know better and who they might want to pass on. At the end of the night, notes are compared and matches can move forward if participants so choose. The speed dating format does take a little getting used to. Once you get the swing of it, however, you will have a blast. Even if you don???t meet ???the one,??? you could find yourself meeting some very nice guys and gals that you???d like to get to know better. Plus, it beats the bar scene hands down. (You can actually hear your own conversations at one of these events!) If you tired of the same old thing, this unique way of ???dating,??? will most certainly shake things up!

At the very least, pick up your socks and wet towels guys. Your ladies will notice! ?? Remember the small gestures that matter ??? To show your lady that you???re a real sweetie all the time, don???t overlook the power of small gestures.

.::Loving a Libra::.

SEPTEMBER 23^RD TO OCTOBER 22^ND

If you???re awestruck by a Libra guy or gal, you???ve landed yourself a companion that could literally rock your world. Loving a Libra can prove to be a little more high maintenance than you might expect though, but the work will be well worth your while.

To love your Libra right, you need to remember that both men and women born under this sign yearn for companionship. They simply love to be loved and they adore making connections with others. They also are meticulous decision makers, constantly weighing the pros and cons of choices (thus, the scales of their sign). These things can prove to be quite the challenge at times, but there are some secrets to make loving those born between Sept. 23^rd and Oct. 22^nd a bit easier. Here???s how to:

Love your Libra lady ??? Make sure your Libra lady knows you only have eyes for her and she will eat out of the palm of your hand. Leave your lady lonely, and she might start scoping out your competition. You sweetheart longs for harmony in a relationship. If you???re ???the one??? for her, you will find yourself with a devoted woman who will bend over backwards to fulfill your desires.

Love your Libra man ??? Libra guys are all too often given a bad rap for being flirtatious. They, like their lady counterparts, are simply seeking true companionship. If you pay attention to your Libra man, stroke his ego from time to time and let him know he???s loved and adored, you will have a real tiger on your hands.

Libras ??? both the ladies and the men ??? are considered the real lovers of the zodiac. They seek deep, meaningful and passionate connections. They will, however, keep looking until they find the right one to adore and be adored by.

.::Get The Right Romantic Gift For Your Sweetie::.

Are you fed up with your buddy always besting you with the incredible gifts he finds for his sweetie? Tired of hearing your lady go gaga for other people???s presents when your gifts only make her smile? Well, even if you???re an official present-shopping louse, you can make a change that will sweep her off her feet. To pull it off, you need to start now ??? when she least expects it.

It doesn???t matter whether you???re planning for her birthday, your anniversary or just an any-day gift to drive her wild, the key to finding the right buy involves always keeping your ears peeled and your eyes open.

So, what do you need to do to correct your errant shopping ways? Here are my best suggestions to remedy your present-buying woes:

?? Go shopping with her ??? I know ??? this isn???t an easy one to pull off, but it???s worth it. Have your lady accompany you on a trip to the mall to find something you need. After she ???helps??? you buy whatever (I suggest an outfit for a big night on the town), window shop the mall. Pay attention to her reactions as she browses in different stores. Put anything that elicits an ooh or ah on your mental list.

?? Watch commercials with her ??? Instead of running for a beer or bag of chips during the commercial breaks from the big games, stay and watch her. When her eyes pop out or she goes nuts for something, file the thought away.

?? Play the ???what if??? game ??? During a quiet evening at home, start a playful game of what both of you would buy if you won the lottery. Steer the conversation in the direction of smaller, more meaningful items after you have some fun with the big-ticket items. This is a great way to ferret out her real desires without looking obvious. (The bonus on this one is that you???ll also help craft your own wish list, too!)

Last-minute shopping for your lady on any occasion can be disastrous. If you start hatching a plan now, you???re going to bowl her over and make her friends jealous! There???s nothing more romantic than ???reading her mind??? when it???s time to buy a gift.

.::Dating Safety 101 For The Ladies::.

Okay, ladies, we all know that dating is exciting, invigorating and extremely fun. Unfortunately, it can also be dangerous if you don???t land a sweet, sexy guy like me. The problem is it???s often hard to tell whether you???ve found a knight in shining armor or a shark that should be avoided like the plague.

Well, I???m here to help on that front. There are some things that savvy ladies can ??? and should ??? do to protect themselves from the not-so-nice guys that might be on the prowl.

Before you let yourself fall head over heels, make sure to:

?? Follow your instincts ??? If a guy makes you uncomfortable, be wary. Your instincts are going to be right about 99 percent of the time ??? if you listen to them.

?? Always meet new dates in public places ??? Yes, it???s romantic to have the guy pick you up at your door. Sadly, this isn???t always the safest way to go any longer. It???s best to meet in a public place at least on the first few dates. Also, make sure someone else (a friend or family member) knows where you are and who you are with.

?? Take it slow ??? Bet you never thought you???d hear a guy say this? Seriously, ladies, if your guys aren???t willing to go slow, they???re probably not worth keeping around. Any man worth his salt wants a lady who has discriminating tastes and isn???t afraid to draw a line in the sand until she???s ready to move forward in a relationship.

It???s a sad, but very true fact that not all guys have a Prince Charming personality or background. If you want to stay safe while dating, get smart and check things out before you move ahead. When you land that ???keeper,??? you???ll be glad you did!

ENJOY THE DATING EXPERIENCE SAFELY

.::3 Low-Cost Date Ideas That Will Dazzle::.

If today???s economy has put a beating on your budget for romancing, don???t sweat it! You don???t have to spend a small fortune to plan a date that leaves her with stars in her eyes.

Three of my most favorite date ideas, in fact, cost next to nothing. If you want to sweep her off her feet without having to take out a loan, try:

?? A moonlit picnic ??? There???s just something incredibly romantic about having dinner under the stars on a balmy summer or early fall evening. My favorite place to go is the beach, but lake or poolside also work perfectly. Pack a picnic basket with her favorite restaurant???s entrees and you???ll have the night of your lives.

?? 1-night getaways ??? If you want to go somewhere romantic, but your funds won???t support a big production, why not choose a spot close to home and just go for a night? If you play your cards right, a single-night trip will not fail to dazzle and delight her! (Hint: Think flowers in the room, wine or champagne ordered in and breakfast in bed.)

?? Stay at home ??? To save cash without scrimping on romance, plan an entire evening at home. Start out with wine, dinner and dancing in candlelight and then move on to wherever the mood leads. Should cooking not be a forte, elegant take out doesn???t have to cost a lot to make a big impression.

Romancing on a budget might not be easy, but it can be fun. Tap into your creative side and you???ll soon discover you don???t have to spend a fortune to be a true Romeo. Your Juliette will love you even more for it!

HAPPY ROMANCING!
