Roaming Eyes at the Cookout - Your Date is Watching

There are things you can get away with when you have been in a relationship for a long time, but when it comes to just getting to know someone, do you really want to be caught checking out the attractive man or woman standing at a distance? 

Cookouts, family reunions, or getting together over someone's home staying in an atmosphere for hours at a time with people you barely know can get boring, so you start looking around, entertaining yourself while your date glances over to see you observing the finest looking person in the room--BUSTED!

So how to stay out of trouble this hot, sexy summer?

1.  Keep your eyes on that plate of food in front of you when the half -dressed lady comes strutting by.  If you have no food, look at the food somewhere nearby, the sky, a car passing by, your shoes, etc.
2.  Don't let your eyes roam in that direction where the guy with the tight shirt showing off his abs is looking at you.  Instead, compliment someone in front of you on the nice piece of jewelry they are wearing then find a spot to sit where you aren't staring at Mr. Sexy.
3.  Ignore those who bump you and say, "Check out him...Look at the rack on..."  When you think your date isn't listening he/she is and so are those who you might not think wouldn't go back and tell what you said to him or her too.
4.  Avoid the temptation to want to exchange phone numbers (even if it is just a business card) your date knows better.  "I was just networking..." Sure.
5.  Stay close to your date and converse with him or her about the festivities, rather than looking for the opportunity to talk with the hottest looking man or woman in the room.

If you take the time to consider your date's feelings, who knows you just might have some fireworks tonight!

How to Spot a Self-Absorbed and Conceited Partner Who Will Probably Cheat on You – Warning Signs to Look Out For

Everyone has a different perspective of what is considered attractive in a partner, whether it be a great smile, intelligence, or a sense of humor. However, others look for specific qualities when dating that they know will always lead to heartache – a self-absorbed and conceited partner. Dating such a person could lead to an unhealthy relationship filled with insecurities, jealousy, and constant drama. Identifying the early warning signs of such personality traits can save you from heartbreak in the future. 1) Narcissist tendencies If your partner is constantly talking about themselves or making everything about them, it may be a sign they are self-absorbed. Such tendencies are often portrayed as an overinflated sense of self-importance or arrogance. 2) A lack of empathy A relationship should be a two-way street, with both partners shouldering their responsibilities and being there for each other. However, some self-absorbed individuals can lack empathy. They may not care abou...

Finding Love: Location, Challenges, and the Search for True Connection by Nicholl McGuire

 When it comes to finding the right person to date, location can play a major role. According to the US Census Bureau, there are certain states that have larger populations of single men and women than others. Based on data from 2019, Washington D.C., Alaska, New York, and Hawaii had the highest percentage of singles among those 18 years old and over. On the flip side, North Dakota had the lowest percentage of single people in the 18+ category. Although these numbers can provide a better understanding of where to find potential dates, they don't tell the whole story. Singleness has different root causes depending on individual circumstances. For example, some singles choose not to date for religious reasons while others may be too busy at work or school to focus on their dating life. In addition, many people who have recently moved to a new area may not yet be familiar with the local dating scene. For those looking for love in all the wrong places, relocating may be an option.
