cell1 Your New Post Date Must

November and December are the two months that see the most traffic on free dating sites, and you know what that means– The more people there are on dating sites, the more people there are on dates. But along with the holidays comes the standard holiday pressure: No one wants to be alone.

It’s not finding a date on an online dating site that’s the hard part, it’s keeping them around after the first encounter, but lucky for us author Amber Madison has a new book that’s helping you navigate the end of your first date to ensure it leads to a second.

Madison’s newest best seller Are All Guys Assholes? discusses a study she conducted with 1000 men across America where she questioned them about their love and dating lives. Among the staggering facts she shares (who knew most guys actually like giving oral sex?!), she revealed that 87% of men are more likely to call a woman for a second date if she sends him a flirty and fun text message after the first.

Cosmopolitan magazine got their hands on Madison’s study and decided to set up a cheat sheet as to what to say in your text depending on the type of date you had to guarantee you’ll be headed for a second one.

Here are some of our favorite text tips to catch yourself a reoccurring date during December:

With all the viewer e-mail we get, there’s one subject that stands out as the most popular topic people are interested about: Weight.

I’m a little heavier than my usual weight, and am more than self-conscious about it. Is this something people are going to be quick to judge about on online dating sites?

I’d like to first make the point that regardless of weight you are, you shouldn’t be ashamed of it. People come in all different sizes, and there’s always going to be someone looking for that size. Thinking that ‘skinny’ is the only attractive weight is going to hinder your dating life by making you insecure.

Even people with the lowest of self esteem can have an open and active dating life online without having to worry about their looks.

What’s important to remember is that being honest is a crucial part on the online dating process. Even though you may not be ideally happy with the way you currently look, you shouldn’t mislead people into thinking that you’re someone you’re not. Using a photo as a display picture that shows you three years younger and 30 pounds lighter is going to lead people into believing you look a way you no longer do. Letting them see what you look like right off the bat gives them a chance to appreciate who you are physically.

Online dating opens the door to a judgement free dating world. If you’re going to log on, then you should let loose! It doesn’t matter what you weigh, it matters who you are.

Relationship Labels

Screen shot 2011 08 22 at 5.02.31 PM Relationship LabelsPeople jump from their online relationship to a serious offline relationship so quickly that they often jump the gun, going from ‘We’re seeing each other,’ to ‘What is this? Are we in a relationship? Testing the waters? Am I your boyfriend/girlfriend?’ Jumping into putting a label on a relationship too soon may end up leaving you labeled ‘Single.’

When people make the switch from using a free dating site to a relationship in the real world, it’s easy to get involved too quickly. You take the feelings you created online and automatically transfer them to the real world, which can make things feel too intense too fast, and it places unwanted pressure on your new relationship. Because you already have those feelings involved, it makes it hard to not jump into things too fast.

Once you have the relationship started, it’s only natural to want to know where you stand. Are you exclusive? Can you see other people? Are you dating, or are you just seeing each other? Are you both on the same page, or does one of you want to take it slower than the other person does? You have questions, and you want them answered! The problem? Pressing to get those answers may break your new relationship.

In a new study done by UCLA, their Human Sexuality department found that nearly 80% of the 3000 people polled said it’s a turn off when someone pressures them to label the relationship too early.

If you’re happy dating someone and you’re excited to see where it goes, then wait and see! There’s no need to rush it and pressure your match for a label.

Allow your relationship to develop naturally and it won’t matter what your label is!
