Online Dating Coach & Romantic Relationship Nurturing - Taking Responsibility
Today will be a WHIRLWIND and it's not even directly because Oil Prices are back up to $84.00 a barrell (why didn't I stock up and get several into my garage?) and the stock market rally of October 13, 2008.
It's because I have sales meetings today and am packing and preparing to attending Motivational Speaker, Business, Education, Success Kevin Hogan's Wealth Creation C.A.M.P. on the Science of Affluence.
I'm rooming with others.
Now, one of the differences in any kind of a relationship is Being An Adult.
I'm very clear I am the Yin energy in my romantic relationships, or they don't last long. But that doesn't mean I expect to be a pampered princess in life, well, at least not ALL the time. Only at the Nail Salons.... (Spa chair, please!)
Since I have been to Kevin's seminars before, I just already KNOW the logistics and what to expect in a general way about LOGISTICS (not the content other than, naturally, it will be superb, cutting edge, and practical! I will be able to implement it there with LOADS of take aways to continue to implement in my life). So, I'm acting as the gracious hostess for some newbies. There are just all these logistical THINGS to deal with. Sonya hurt her back. Had reg'd MONTHS ago and can't attend.
She'd reserved the room.
THe other roomies had sent her a check.
She is sending me a check.
I have to phone and email her to mail sure I have all the information... and the funds.
Oh, and now the split is different.
And they have HER cell number.
But she won't be there.
Logistics.
Early on in singles dating, there are logistics as well. The excitement of deciding which online dating site to use. So, I have a BUNCH in one place to make it easy and fun: Internet Dating Sites Guide, Online Personals Sites Review
Then, what to wear. Selecting venue. Arranging to meet. Later, having the man pick you up. Or if you're the yang energy, you're picking him up. Just my focus is with men and women who are looking to marry and who want to pursue that kind of relationship. There are other coaches who will train for casual sex solomente, and that's there business. I'm inculcating for covenanet commitment. I'm digressing again. Only a little coffee has been consumed this morning.
Once past Romantic Relationship PHase One: Chemistry/Attraction (I talk about this a lot more in depth in my ebook, Trisha was asking about that, and my blog has a different focus than what I have already published elsewhere.) then we are truly communicating. Once we are an adult, we have responsibility to uphold even in Phase One.
Mutual surging hormones means whenever you DO consummate things and have sex, yes, DO PLAY SAFE. You're thinking I don't even need to say this in the 21st century, but that would NOT be true. Indeed, we are predictably irrational and once aroused, we can DO stupid things even when it comes around to having unsafe and unprotected sex. So with my clients, I coach them to be sure to cross legs until things have been negotiated AND to keep condoms where you DO want to use them.
THe over 50s Baby Boomer singles are the fastest growing segment of the population who is contracting AIDS. Because they are probably thinking... no chance of getting pregnant. We're good. No, you're not.
MUST run. Meeting soon. Packing later.
Happy dating and relationships, folks!

Have a safe flight, Queen of Surging Hormones and I hope you and your roomies keep the all-night pillow fights to a minimum. That last time with the police and the helicopters and the small screaming children was out of line...

Well, I'm from the old school of Hong Kong Chinese culture where the male always foot the bills. The new generations of ABC ( Australian Born Chinese) here now adopts the ubiquitous Go Dutch bill splitting.practice.

The whole idea that Men are afraid of "Powerful Women" isn't true in my book. It's just that many of them aren't all that attractive to me. Let them be "powerful". I like power. But if it's all Yang...Sayonara!

I thought once people near 30,they are more or less settled ...but if they still need advise at 50!!!!!!!!!! then they'd need to ask their children for advise.

OMG, I-John, yes!
A number of the older more famous experts, one of whom I'm training with, John Gray and Pat Allen talk abou the Yin and Yang and modern masculine feminine.
I was going to offline you about that. Maybe we can talk a little bit (or, a lot...) while in Las Vegas.
This is one of those areas where my ebook, well, I write REAMS about this. And even within it, there IS a range. Thank God for the variety!
I fly in the morning. Today I am jetting around doing pre-away ERRANDS and meetings.
Hi Jenn, there IS a place that serves PEETS coffee right by the Luxor. Maybe... in the early evening I could get a couple. Early morning just NOT enough time.
Yeah, I'm like, the PINK Yang about being Yin. See you soon sweet lady! Ultimately, when we are 9 mths pregant with a child, well, that is THE test for, "Will you protect me and us?" Some modern men don't want that contract. I do. Like with Sales. Go for who is a TIP or within range. Avoid SELLING AT those who DON'T want what we are selling.
Safe travels to YOU, too!
All the best,

Hi Darryl Pace,
I knew with your health, truth, and fitness expertise that you would find that intriguing.
Yes, Baby Boomer/"Mature" Singles can be predictably irrational, too!
With Viagra and Trantric sex, I think some are discovering a whole new joyously free sex life.... with side effects. Which is NOT to freak ppl out, but rather as a relationship and romance coach, to whump them upside the head... coooonnnndommmmmsssss.
All the best,

Remember, you are in the Bay area and views there are not necessarily reflective of the world outside.

Interesting post, you taught me a lesson in that I was expected something light-hearted and fun about dating and you put in the zinger at the end that people still need to be safe. One should not assume...
Have a great trip!
Jen
I can see how a person that age who is dating and having to think about releasing some energy with sex might feel they are being safe. I gues it goes to show you it's a crazy world out there

And when they are at a HOTEL they will RESORT to anything for MANAGEMENT of that ENERGY. It's like ELECTRICAL.
