Speed Dating Basics

leave a comment

Speed dating is a quick way to hook up with a person of your choice. Aish HaTorah, a Jewish educational network is credited with introducing the speed dating. Inspired by their success, lots of dating companies have borrowed the concept in the US. Prominent among them are 3 minute dates, fast dates, 8 minute dates.

The speed dating sites online organize events, which facilitates singles in your own town to meet up and have brief tete-a tetes with around 6-7 people in one evening! This is usually organized at restaurant, cafe or a bar in the town. To get the conversation going, people participating are given ice-breaking topics to help them out. After the stipulated time spent with one person, which would typically last for five minutes or so, there is an announcement or chiming of the bell by the organizer to move on. The members then are given forms to fill up. In these forms, participants would also be asked, if they would like to meet the person once more with whom they have had a chat. Then, there is brief intermission after 3-4 meetings. Here, participants gather to have some snacks and this provides opportunity to meet other fellow members in who they could be interested. If there is a mutual consent from both the parties to meeting again, organizers inform the participants about it. Email addresses and telephone numbers are given to both the parties so that they can meet up independently.

Speed dating companies have claimed huge success rates at these events. But there are certain rules to be followed at these meets. During the meeting of prospective couples, neither of them is supposed to ask the other for contact information, such as e-mail ID, phone number or business cards. Questions should not be explicit or offensive. Sometimes, one event might not help you in finding the right partner. Do not panic, take your own time and do not be in haste.

The first step to get your name on your dating website is to register yourself. In this process, you have to give details about yourself, such as name, city, job, age and so on. In the next phase, you have to write briefly about yourself and the kind of partner you are looking for. You then upload your snap for more visibility. Then on the website, you have search for a person of the opposite sex. Many of them put up their photographs. If you happen to like anyone of them, the dating website asks you to pay money in order to correspond with the person you have zeroed in on.

There are several sites on the Net, which cater to different tastes. They range from matchmaking to penpals. For the more choosy ones, there are Christian dating sites, Jewish dating sites, gay and lesbian sites, and some catering to purely sleazy tastes. Then there are chat rooms that facilitate virtual dating, where the members might not want to experience real-time dating.

Then apart from the above, there a lot of websites offering dating advice and other suggestions regarding approach to dating. The advantage here on the World Wide Web is that when you contact a person for advice, your profile is strictly confidential.

Another advantage of going online is that you can be a part of a discussion group where the most delicate doubts can be cleared.  Some of the major websites for dating are web.tickle.com, www.match.com, friendfinder.com, lavalife.com, Yahoo!,  MSN and so on.

What women want?

leave a comment

‘What women want’? Well, I am not posing a question. This is name of a movie starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt, and it is also the elusive quest which most men embark upon to find. If we narrow down to what women want after a brief passionate encounter, there are some answers.

According to certain surveys, which are by no means exhaustive, cuddling is on the top of the charts. It is a gesture which symbolizes appreciation of them. Let’s face it, women want to be petted and smothered. There are, however, others who switch off and want to be left alone. These type of women need some time to recoup. The other rank of women who love yapping want to be heard! Hearing makes them feels reassured.  Then there are others, who ask for more! Who can complain?

Then some girls like to have a drink and sit down to listen to numbers by Richard Marx, Julio Iglesias or even Ricky Martin. The intellectuals might want to read out a passage for you from Germaine Greer, do not yawn unless you want a black eye. Then there are more women who have quite weird needs, lots of which cannot be discussed on a public domain like this. But the bottom line of it all is that ‘girls just wanna have fun’, just like men. So my request is, junk all the ‘truths’ broken by me. Enjoy yourselves and do not worry about the aftermaths. As they say, “que sera sera, whatever will be, will be”.  Sleep tight after a nice night and she will follow suit.

Wedding Jewelery – How You Can Be the Star

leave a comment

The right jewelery adds the sparkle to the ears and neck and complements the bridal gown on the wedding day. Jewelery and accessories complete the bridal ensemble and it is a fact that with the right accessories, the bride and bridesmaids will be looking their very best.

Remember when selecting the jewelery for the bride, the type of bridal dress and the hairstyle will dictate the type of jewelry. The jewelry chosen should also show off your personal sense of style.

To start with, look at your family heirlooms. If you have a fabulous piece of jewelery, wear it. You can ask family and friends to borrow jewelery that you admire. Wearing the jewels that have been in the family for generations not only has a special feel but also adds a sentimental value to your wedding. Vintage jewelry is in right now. Take good care of the borrowed jewelery and do not lose them.

Many bridal salons and department stores offer an array of faux pearl earrings and necklaces. Faux diamonds are wonderful as well, and many of the pieces available combine the costume pearl and diamonds together for a sparky and classic look.

Pearls are in fashion now and are extremely versatile. Choose the strand length that best enhances your gown?s neckline. A pearl collar, 12-13 inches, or a choker, 14-16 inches, are the most classic and versatile necklaces for the bride. It goes with just about any gown neckline. Princess length is 17-19 inches and goes well with high and very low necklines. Other choices are white pearl jewelry with silver plating and gold plated jewelry with ivory pearls depending on the color of the bridal gown.

Beautiful earrings complete the look. Experiment with various earrings to see which look best with your gown?s neckline and the hairstyle you plan to wear on wedding day. Drop pearls are elegant. If your gown is heavily beaded and sparky itself, wear subtle or smallish earrings. Sapphires, emeralds and colored pearls are in fashion, but they need to be subtle.

It looks great if all the bridesmaids wear the same jewelry; but it is OK for them to make their own choices while keeping with the tone of your wedding. A tiara is suitable for your hair.

Just make sure that your entire wedding ensemble works together. Do some trial runs with your gown and hairstyle to see which jewels really complement them and enlist your bridesmaids for their input. Remember proportion is the key element, and jewelery is important, but the best choices are those that do not take center stage.

Having jewelery on the younger members of your wedding party makes them feel extra special. If you have a miniature bride, try to coordinate her jewelery to the bride’s jewelery if it’s possible. Bracelets are another great choice for children’s jewelery accessories. Choose a bracelet that is adjustable so you don’t have to know their wrist size.

If you want to maximize your assets, you can use silicon pads that are ideal for smaller busts. If you have a large bust, go for Princess line corsets to achieve push-ups. When ordering for a perfect fit, ensure that your over-bust, under-bust, waist and hip measurements are taken together with your height, bra size and dress size.

An increasing number of brides order a made to measure corset made in ivory or white silk, and then request their dressmaker o make the skirt in their chosen style to form the wedding dress.
