What Is The Best Way To Transition?‏

Pick up lines are put together to help us begin a new conversation. Unfortunately most men struggle to take it from there without seeming like they try too hard. Is it really doable to move into a genuine conversation and still preserve a good vibe?


Establishing a talk may very well be hard, particularly for self-conscious as well as socially unexperienced guys. Once they start a conversation successfully, they frequently find themselves in front of another hurdle: what to do then?

This short article gives an overview how to transition, what transition style to select and at the end it also gives a couple of practical examples.

Why is it that we have to transition? 

When we look at ideal ways to transition, let's remind ourselves why we begin talks to begin with. You notice a lady you like, so you assemble all your courage and head out to talk with her. The objective of transitioning is to effortlessly get from the initial topic into a normal conversation.

Typical mistake many boys do and ways to avoid it

Often men get so uncomfortable they do the most frequent mistake. They focus on the first subject for too long and their conversation logically fades away. Either simply because they run out of things to say or because the conversation gets way too dull.

The most effective transition is done whenever you spontaneously interrupt her within the first 1 or 2 minutes and change the subject. As a general guideline. Keep in mind, the more emotions you bring into it, the more natural it's going to be seen.

Recommended transition phrases

All you need to transition effectively is to find out which type works for you best and begin using it. There are 3 major types of transition words and phrases.

1. Use bait. In case she says something intriguing in her reaction to your starter, utilize it. "Seriously? You are a climber as well? Great, I'm adopting you as my little sister and we will take care of one another."

2. Make your observation or cold-reading count. Say to her something interesting you have spotted about her. As long as it's positive, do not worry whether it's accurate. "You are paying attention with great care, I bet your friends love you for being an outstanding listener."

3. Employ a simple transitional phrase. Whenever you can think of hardly anything else, go with a phrase, yet add a special twist to it. "That's interesting, your green scarf reminds me of my little niece Vicky. She is in love with green." Or maybe "It's interesting you've mentioned .."

Remember

- Be spontaneous. Observe engaging things about her overall appearance and listen attentively for clues to comment on.
- Show emotions. You can convey enthusiasm and be a little animated.
- Keep eye contact. Once you transition, good eye contact shows her indirectly that you really want to continue your chat.
- Keep it light and interesting. Meeting a new person that's too serious might creep females out. Show great mood and smile.

In conclusion, whenever you transition, do it as soon as you can. Feel free to show positive emotions and spontaneously interrupt her. Your transition could be founded on what she has mentioned, or on what you might have noticed. If you don't think of anything else try a quick transition phrase.

Complex Chemistry or Simple DNA

The pro of this site is that the matching system is superb. I feel that most of the matches I received were really good, unlike eHarmony who cannot grasp the concept of matching period. This site also even has a "You might also like" section for matches that were really close. I felt like this site really was able to describe me perfectly and it has a lot of great features. I also felt that it could have matched me if it weren't for really poor business practices.


The negative of this site is that it has poor business practices. I get that they want to make money, but they don't have to go to the lengths they do in where I don't feel I am getting my moneys worth. I'll say 20-30% of people on actually pay for this site meaning 70-80% of the matches you receive don't. When you, the paying customer, show interest to a non-paying person, they cannot even view your profile and picture until they subscribe. Personally, if I cannot even see the profile of the person and their picture, 50 dollars is a huge gamble I would not be willing to take. They should allow a non-paying person you show interest in to at least view your profile and picture and at least tell you if they are interested or not, but they would have to pay to go beyond that. If they did this, the site would be absolutely perfect and I would feel that I was getting what I was paying for. I would also think this would increase their business.

A Match Made in Match.com Heaven

Match.com continues to define the industry by providing a wide array of exciting tools and effective resources for their members.

Match accomplishes this in several ways. First, they allow up to 10 photographs (yes, looks are part of the "chemistry thing" for many of us).


Secondly, they have members post much critical information right up front, such as:

-are you married, single, divorced, separated, or never married?

-how many children do you have and where do they live?

-what are your smoking or drinking habits?

-what pets do you have?

-what age range are you looking for?

-where are you on the liberal/conservative spectrum of politics?

-what is your general physique?

-what is your religious preference?

-what are your interests? (very important information to me!)

-what are your exercise habits

-what is your income range? (Optional)

-what is your ethnicity?

-what are your favorite things?

-what do you do for fun?

Also importantly, Match.com's first section permits you to describe who you are and what you're looking for in a match. To me, this section is very valuable. It allows you to speak from your heart and be creative in how you say it. If you decide to join Match.com, I would encourage you to give this section some real thought and time. After all, this is that "important first impression!" If you must, compose it on Word Perfect and then copy and paste it into the Match section. Your time will be well spent.

Matches are generated according to how well your profile matches other members' profiles. You are then sent a list of potential matches and the Match.com format allows you to quickly sort through the profiles to find those that really spark your interest :)

If one of you doesn't see the potential for a match, then there are polite options for declining communication. That is the expected to happen to us all, of course. Take heart, though, if we are patient enough, the "right one" just might come along looking for you! If you and a match do express mutual desire to communicate, then communication is allowed to be very free-flowing.

Would You Cheat On Elin?

Some guys complain when the wife has put on a few pounds after having the kids. They don't want to be as intimate anymore, they have other things to do - besides "you" that is.

I'm pondering a thought that is as old as time itself. "Can a man ever be happy with just one woman?". We can go as far back as the Bible. Abraham and his wife Sarah wanted a child so badly that before she had her own, she actually offered up her hand-maiden, only to become jealous of the women and child years later.

Was this Abrahams' fault - or was Sarah having difficulties dealing with sharing her husband? Over the centuries, Henry VIII and other monarchies have divorced or killed current wives just to get next to a newer and hotter babe.

This problem, if you want to call it that is as old as time. So I'll ask me question again.. "Can a man ever be happy with just "one" woman". Before you answer, let me add two additional ingredients - "Power and Wealth".

Henry VIII had it and so did most monarchs or royals vying for a better position. Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco infamy had a beautiful sexy second wife - who promptly dumped his ass as soon as he went to jail ... he took his elusive and now gone power with him..along with the wealth.

Do we even blame the man - for being only a man? I can almost understand why some Muslim countries make women cover themselves from head to toe. The temptations of the flesh are so strong and the spirit is really weak. I suppose. But does that really stop the mind from wondering what's under that "Burqa"?.

Married But Looking.. WTF?

I promised myself that I would keep this post short. What that really means is that I've been working since 10AM on a Saturday non-stop and it's after 11PM.

Talk about not having a life! Sheesh!.

Anyways, I'm find myself intrigued by the somewhat new dating activity online "Married But Looking".

Granted in Europe this is as normal as...well as having a mistress that everyone knows about.

Who was the chap that recently died in Paris or was it Italy? Anyway, he made sure that his wife, his mistress and his illegitimate daughter were all sitting together at his funeral by prior arrangement.

Talk about Married But Looking...and apparently finding too!

Divorce seems to be out of the question..apparently so is sex with your spouse. I was in Hong Kong 10 years ago. I vividly remember personal ads from everything from anal beads wearing partners to threesomes.

Most ads plainly stated that the..umm "applicant" was otherwise married. Have couple in the states become so bored with each other that extra-martial relationships are the norm?

Even my beloved Sandra Tsing Loh, fell to the guises of another man and divorced - at least - she got divorced...uh - eventually.

I'd like to revisit this issue and would love feedback on your thoughts.

"Professional" Dates

From time to time, I notice women who have no earthly reason to be dating online. I mean these women are so hot they are scorching. So why are they looking for dates online?

Well, Money or maybe they are so insecure and can't meet anyone on their own,that they ran right out and got head shots made to post online. Chances are, they are Pros. I mean that in every since of the word.

What I always thought was hysterically funny was that most dating sites don't match on your financial statement.

Even the one's that say they do - really don't. Most don't ask for a bank statement and you wouldn't provide one if they did.

So you meet a woman, who's looking for a guy that earns six figures - Today that's me!

Is that being dishonest? I don't know Barbarella, is it? Are you looking for marriage or a LTR (long term relationship) with a guy that only earns 5-figures a year (high 5 people!).

I get a beautiful dame on my arm and you get to ride in my Jaguar that I rented for the weekend from Enterprise.

At the end of the date, did we both get what we bargained for? You tell me.

Something To Talk About

We've all heard about those free communication weekends. My question is "Should you even waste your time?"

Maybe. If you're not especially busy, what could it hurt? You might even meet someone interesting.

So, you spend the weekend talking to someone new. What else were you planning? To clean out the shower stall or the garage? Yeah, I'd much rather be doing THAT!.

These weekends roll around every once in awhile and it's a chance to save a few bucks and see if anything worth while can come out of the services you hear about so often.

Have you noticed that the people in the dating commercials are starting to look more like the average person?.

Like I've said in other postings, I worked several years for one of the biggest online dating sites EVER - and I can tell you, that the people were NOT models (since they'd come to the office to sing our praises.)

I say, if it's free, give it a test run. It's not until you have to put the plastic down that the pressure is on to REALLY meet someone.

Chat it up and enjoy.

Is a Picture Really Worth a 1000 Words?

In the world of Online Dating..the proverbial question remains the same. "Is a picture really worth 1000 words?".





The answer..in short. "HELL YES!".





Okay, okay this is not to say that you have to be smokin' hot or George Clooney but, your picture should reflect you as you are.





Some of you may remember in the late 80's and early 90's a little outfit called "Glamour Shots".





You remember, they enticed your grandmother and mom in and then proceeded to pile on more make-up and hairspray than Ronald McDonald wears.





The odd thing was..it was a frickin' hit! I mean everybody was doing this, from Grandmas' to Homecoming queens.





Think about it. When someone goes missing and CNN or MSNBC needs a photo, the family hands out the Glamour shot!





Why? Because it's the BEST that Granny has ever looked - outside of her wedding day anyway. She's got the er-uh professional make-up artist and hairstylist and 22 yards of pink gauze. Not to mention the Vaseline on the camera lens.





My point is simply this. When give the opportunity to take a half-way decent photo, you should.





I cannot tell you how many times (during my several years working for one of the largest online dating sites in North America) we received photos of people at their last wedding, with the spouse roughly torn out.





Yes, your make up and grooming was professionally done and you probably spent hundreds to look that good. Gimme a break!





A dating site is not where I want to see what YOU looked like at your last wedding.





Moreover, the people who lived in "Take-Me-As-I-Am" Land. No smiles, no make-up no nothin' and boy did the misery on their face say "Pick me for your match..I'm a barrel of laughs!"





There is a fine line between being true to yourself and being a model in hustler or the male equivalent.





People would invariably take their own pictures...in the bathroom mirror! Hey there's a winning photo. My favorites were the animal lovers. I suppose the idea was.."I'm a animal lover and an outdoorsy person, so don't pay attention to me, look at the person I should impress upon you that I will be".





Ladies, a word of advice "Ditch the cats for your photo". Even if you love cats and don't care what people think.. I guarantee that will think that you are the crazy cat-lady Doris, from The Simpson's.





Oh yes, Cat-ladies were the biggest complainers of not "meeting the right people"..hmm see a...wait for it... a connection there?





I'm not say you shouldn't have a cat, ferret, snake or dog in your photo, I'm just saying the best photos reflect the best of you.





Give your potential match, date, adult friend finder a chance to meet Mr. Mittens, Ozzy or Biscuit later and not as your first impression.





Other no-no's (don't worry, I'll post the list at the end) old photos. I'd have to say, I look fairly cool and thinner in high school, hell, even 10 years ago but, I would not want to disappoint someone who'd be look for that person when they met me.





True story: Woman posts a picture of her hotter (much slimmer) sister on her profile. The guys are lining up (image that!).





She sets up a date with a prospective love interest. They are to meet at a restaurant. He posts his real picture, so she knows what he looks like. However, she is completely dumbfounded when he goes to the restaurant and sees someone who "kinda-looks like the photo" and realizes what happened here.





He kept driving. She cried and sent us a lovely letter about how we crushed her faith, matched her with an asshole and how we should keep him out of our service for being a jerk.





Now before we get comments about how people put too much emphasis on looks...who was really at fault here?





Let's face it. This woman lied about who and what she was. Her date sized her up (no pun intended) and decided he wanted no more of her.





Was he being shallow? Of course he was. But this kind of event could have been avoided if both people where honest up front.





Seriously people, if a guy is 5'9 and his profile says he's 5'11 and a half or 6' or a woman says she weights 120 and the truth is closer to 160, don't you think a prospective date might notice?!





Well only if they can SEE!.

Lying about something that you cannot fix, like your age or height only hurts both people.

So, to summarize here are my Do's and Don'ts for online dating photos.

• Don't Take Your Own Picture
• Don't Take a Picture with Your Camera Phone
• Don't Post Your Old Wedding Photos
• Don't Take Pictures with Animals
• Don't Submitted Photos more than a year old
• Don't Submit Work Photos (fireman, nurse,janitors etc)
• Don't Submit Naked Photos (do I really have to say this?..it does happen)

• Do submit photos of you and a hobby (gardening, horseback riding)
• Do submit photos of the real you
• Do take your time in choosing the right photo. The right person will wait
• Do submit head shots
• Do get dressed up (sweats and a t-shirt and not going to cut it)
• Do make sure you are smiling (again, do I need to say it...I could tell you stories of frowning, one-eyebrowed people who I kept thinking "Is this THE BEST photo you could have sent..seriously..really?".

Most of all have fun. Be yourself, not your college roommate or your sister or the guy from the gym. Just be you.

Consider the vending machines that take 4 black and white photos at once. You could be sexy, silly and charming and most sites will post all 4. People can see how interesting you are for a couple of bucks.

What you say in you photos are magnified in person - both the good and the bad.
