The Dating Truth Rules For Successful Dating

Miss Solomon — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:29:12 +0000

When I was younger I like most women watched two female authors explain the rules of dating on the Oprah show. I rushed to my computer and ordered the book, ‘The Rules’, the next day.

These rules weren’t new, in fact many seemed outdated and unrealistic but these women (who are now divorced) were married and happy. They were sharing their secrets with women all around the world and they were on Oprah! So I of course took it as gospel.

After reading ‘The Rules’ I didn’t stop there. I read numerous relationships and dating how-to books. I read books … CONTINUE READING...

How To Find Out If Your Date Is Relationship Ready

Miss Solomon — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:32:54 +0000

When you’re single and you don’t want to be, is when I think dating is the easiest. At the start of the year, I decided to journey with my readers on the quest to find meaningful and fulfilling love.

I had to face the facts that dating successfully for most people meant finding commitment. It actually meant the end of dating and the start of a relationship. If that’s what it means for you, I understand.

I’m not going to try to convince you to be a bigger flirt or plan a date for every day of the week. … CONTINUE READING...

Why You Should Celebrate Valentine’s Day No Matter What

Miss Solomon — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 09:30:23 +0000

My best friend said something to me that though cliché extremely profound, “We attract what we feel we deserve.”

For some this is a depressing thought. While we want to believe we only deserve the best. The best looking, kindest, most charming, generous and sensual of people we find ourselves dating individuals far from our fantasy.

If you’re single, still waiting for this dream person to arrive, I applaud you. Keep waiting. Even if you’re in a relationship with someone who isn’t all that you want, there is still hope.

Thinking about this concept I know some of you believe … CONTINUE READING...

How To Keep Your Date Interested In The Conversation

Miss Solomon — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:00:34 +0000

When we meet strangers, in any setting, we’re burdened with the task of keeping them interested. Maintaining the interest of a potential date can be a difficult duty. One important element of any interaction is setting yourself apart. Being interesting and better yet unforgettable is a challenging but possible act.

How can you set yourself apart?

In my view, asking interesting questions can catapult an average interaction to a life changing one. People like to talk about themselves. It’s a fact that can’t be denied. When you allow potential dates to do just that, you create attraction and interest.

So how

Are Your Dating Expectations Realistic?

Miss Solomon — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:00:49 +0000

Our life begins and ends with choices. The best way we can serve ourselves is to be conscious of as many of our decisions as possible. While you can’t control the circumstances you can always control your experience.

When it comes to expectations, it’s natural to have them. The key is accepting that, in dating, our expectations won’t always be met and that’s okay. The way you respond to disappointment, frustration, or any other unwanted emotion that may come when expectations aren’t fulfilled, is up to you. How you respond will ultimately affect future interactions.

If you choose to stay … CONTINUE READING...

Your Biggest Problem In Dating Solved.. Finally

Miss Solomon — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:30:25 +0000

When you give advice as often as I like to, you quickly realize the difference between people who have a problem they want to solve or a problem they want to talk about.

Just because someone is talking about a situation that’s making them miserable doesn’t mean they are interested in making a change. It can simply mean they want to complain, and they want you to listen.

If I had a dollar for every single that told me, “they actually meet lots of people” or “turn down dates all the time”, I might be a millionaire. I personal … CONTINUE READING...

The 3 Missing Pieces To A Nearly Perfect Relationship

Miss Solomon — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:00:08 +0000

This year I’m dedicated to finding a happy, healthy, meaningful romantic relationship. Why, you might ask because this is The Dating Truth? We should all be singling and mingling forever right?

While I enjoy the freedom that comes with dating successfully, after having done it for so long, I’ve stopped growing. I haven’t stopped learning things about myself but I am stunted in my ability to improve in the areas I am flawed because I lack a partner to heal my emotional wounds.

To learn more about you imago and healing relationships go here.

The Most Overlooked Characteristic Every Man Should Possess

Miss Solomon — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:38:05 +0000

Most single people never stop to ask themselves, if they’re a good dater. I wrote a post about the type of man every woman wants and I encourage men to look through the traits and ask, “Is that me?”

I share this information with men because that’s who I date. Although I’ve been extremely lucky in dating, having met lots of wonderful men, I haven’t been successful in love.

It’s been difficult for me to find a man interested in me that embodied the characteristics that I needed.

If you read enough self-help books on dating, there comes a point … CONTINUE READING...

How To Be The Type Of Man Every Woman Wants To Date

Miss Solomon — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 11:00:18 +0000

In the dating world, men and women are always trying to figure out what the other one wants. It seems like we have no idea but the [dating] truth is men and women want the same thing. Clutch the pearls!

I know it’s a crazy concept but can you imagine that in all fairness, this is true. When it comes to love, what is good for the goose is truly good for the gander. And before you laugh at my old school saying it was once an Eden’s Crush song so there, Google that!

But seriously, the mystery of what … CONTINUE READING...

Why You Need To Treat Yourself Better This Year

Miss Solomon — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:30:44 +0000

Whether you agree with my advice or not I write with one policy, give the advice you would want to hear. It stems from the idea, be the change you want to see.

I’m single and have been for years. I have been through numerous situations and I longed for a specific type of advice that I thought the self-help/ relationship advice industry was missing and I set out to fill that void.

The truth is, I still need advice. I certainly don’t know it all and I fall victim to the same traps every other single woman finds herself … CONTINUE READING...
