Do You Have a Long List of Dating Tales?

By Alan Bentley

If you have a long list of dating tales, some of which you would rather forget, then you should know that you have much in common with us all. Trying to find the perfect guy is a challenge in itself and just when you think that this one may be the right one, something crazy happens and you have another one of those tales to add to your collection.

Trying to meet guys online is very challenging, isn't it? Is his description and photograph accurate? While we have this question in our mind, we nevertheless start to build up a picture of what he looks like. When we actually get to meet, it is almost always a letdown. This is a fact of life when it comes to Internet dating, but it is nonetheless a great way to break the ice to start off with.

Some of the guys that you meet are so crazy that it is quite funny. A good friend of mine tells me about the gentleman whom she met, who would not stop talking about the "good old days." He went on and on so much that the whole evening became rather despondent and it's quite a shame, as he was quite attractive to her. Without the dating tales he told, something might have happened.

The next time you sense that you are about to get involved in one of your dating tales, you need to be prepared. If you have one of those iPhones you can download an application that allows you to "receive" a call at a predetermined time. If your evening is not going very well, then you can take the call, which appears to be coming from an authentic source, and make up an excuse to get out of there, fast.

If somebody sets you up with someone who you have never met before, you may well have a good source of dating tales for quite some time. This type of encounter seems to be either perfect or a disaster and you should be sure that you only allow your closest friends to set this up for you.

Go online for information and advice to help you crack the guy code. You don't have to spend all your time in those Internet chat rooms, leading to those nasty dating tales once again, but if you are well researched and have some good advice you can make your next meeting stand out.

Never be tempted to compromise, in what you really want out of life. It can be difficult sometimes as we all get lonely if we are left to our own devices and might opt for someone who doesn't really fit into our ideal picture. Never try and force a match, as you'll end up with so many dating tales that you do not know what to do with.

Whatever you do, don't be downcast by your nonexistent love life. Always maintain a positive attitude, appear upbeat and happy and you will attract the right guy when you are least expecting it.
