Wow, it is already JUST past 12 noon here in Silicon Valley. I’ve neglected my blog posting duties as your Online Dating Coach and Dating Expert due to the constraints of my own single gal’s dating life. My background is that I dated up a storm in the early Neanderthal days of internet dating when it was known as “Cyberdating” when we couldn’t even post a digital photograph? Seems pretty prehistoric to the single men and single women used to all the bells and whistles of 21st century Online Dating now, doesn’t it? Well, then I married and was widowed. So I am single and doing After 35 Dating right alongside of you.
And yes, receiving pink roses and chocolates are STILL a fabulous dating attribute which many single women LOVE to receive. Over time, you’ll discover what COLOR rose is HER favorite. Like what is generally marketed is that Red Roses are The Rose for Romance expression. And me? I prefer and love… Pink roses. So my beaus and my late husband give me (gave me), once they KNEW me, PINK roses. I also really like the rainbow of mixed colors Rose bouquet.
OK folks, if you are SINGLE, it is Saturday night.
Do you have a date?
Perfectly fine if you do NOT.
As an Online Dating Coach and Dating Expert, I generally advise as a best practice NOT to have a Saturday Night date ever be your Date 0, First Date in Internet Dating lingo. Instead, save Saturday night DATES for being a second date or even a third date. Frankly, it is THE treasured date night. It is a PRIVILEGE to gain access to a beautiful single girl’s treasured Saturday night calendar. (Although about once a month I do get a phone call from a client from the bathroom of the restaurant where they are having an interminably LONG meal, wanting to know how to ESCAPE.)
If your Saturday night does NOT contain a date, then what are your PLANS to get out and MEET MORE NEW SINGLES this evening?
Yes, inquiring minds DO want to know.
Do some online recon and find some single events to attend.
- Singles Dances
- Singles Events
- Speed Dating Events
Go. Find some, put on an outfit that presents YOU at YOUR best and GO!
Feel free to report back here later about What you found to attend, what you selected to do. Whatever you do, great.
Doing NOTHING is the only thing which will receive a failing grade.
Because then you are only self-perpetuating exactly where are now (if you’re wanting to change that, that is) – single, alone, ALONE.
Tomorrow or Monday, I’ll talk about New Years Eve.
Happy Dating and Relationships,
April Braswell
