Just a quick note.

Today is Flag Day, June 14.

Please remember to honor the Flag.  I know a few who will be reading this are NOT US citizens, so please bear with me (or bare with me if you are like my good buddy Yann Vernier and his VOX blog, Waiting for the Naked Lady).
 
For those who are serving abroad to preserve the upholding of liberty, true freedom has responsibility, I thank you for the gift of your sacrifice both in what you are doing and seeing.  God bless you.  Please know we are praying for you and praying for the safe return of all of you to your homes and loved ones.

God bless and God speed,

WOW!

The Stanley Cup is OVER!

Congratulations to the Detroit Red Wings who played a GREAT series.

It's been TWO MONTHS of watching.

And now all the Hockey fans have all that time back in their lives... and perhaps you are .... still single....

And you are wondering, I'm single, I'm one of those singles ...  what can I do this weekend to increase my chances to get dates?  Or to get MORE dates?

Are you in a fulfilling romantic relationship like the one that you want and deserve?  Steve and Sonya, I already know YOUR answers to that question about your joyfully fulfilling and satisfying sexual relationships.  TG!

Are you going to be alone yet AGAIN this Friday and Saturday night?

Are you still looking for your Romantic Soul Mate?  That special person for you to give your heart to?

Well, you could stay home...   alone...   AGAIN...

OR

You could GET OUT THERE and go PLACE yourself advantageously to meet other singles like yourself, or perhaps little more different than you so that you foster CHEMISTRY for a feeling of fabulous sexual tension.  Marvelous sensation, isn't it?

OK.  So you're asking, APRIL!  I KNOW you are a great Romance Coach and an expert Online Dating Coach, but what am I to DO?  What am I going to DO this weekend to up my chances of meeting other singles.

GO TO A STREET FAIR!

Yes, it's that time of year again.

Street Fairs.  They are all over the place.  Different ethnic festivals.  Chinese.  Russian.  Italian.  Irish.  Indian.  Japanese.  Jewish Festivals.  Latino Carnival.  You try some different foods.  Learn about a culture which is perhaps a bit different than your own.  Or is your own and you are one of the ambassadors.  Cool, n'est pas? 

Doing this will require that you be open to a MultiCultural Dating, Interracial Dating relationship.  Of course, where I live, this is like breathing.  It's just such a GIVEN.

To find Street Fairs in your area, check out Google, naturally, as well as your local newspaper and alternative newspaper for their Events Calendar. 

Part of the fun part of eating at one of these Street Fairs is the very eating of different food offers you a point over which to safely converse with OTHERS.  "Oh, wow," sucking in breath, "I've never tasted food so HOT! WOW!  Would you please pass me the plain yogurt?"  and you have exchanged WORDS.  We call that, Starting a Conversation.  Now you're rolling! 

Enjoy!

Yes folks we are entering our THIRD period of overtime or OT as we hockey nuts, I mean fans, call it.

Go Guins!

But I gotta say, the Red Wings are playing a mighty fine game!

No TV time ot.

With 3OT periods, yes, what that means they are essentially playing a DOUBLE GAME.

WOW!

Enjoy!

I know, I know.  You're wondering HOW to tie this in with being a Romance Coach and Online Dating Coach? 

Think of Hockey and watching it together as couples communication building exercise.  Or better still, think of it as foreplay....  Of course, if you're playing 3OTs, you won't have anything LEFT to give at the end of OT, but I'll respect you tonight AND in the morning for having played your heart out.  And THAT sure IS Romantic!

All the best,

Yes, can you feel the fluttering of hearts in the romance of it all?  Mmmhmmm.  I'm talking 2OT.  That is shorthand for Second Overtime.  Unbelievable.

The joy, the loyalty, the fidelity, the heart of it all.

Ahhhh.  It's a JOY to watch.

Enjoy!

oh MY!

Yes.  We have OVERTIME!

eeeeeeeeeeeeee.

This is all about COMMUNICATION, Love, and The Romance of The Cup.

Enjoy!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

OK, it's Game 5 and the Penguins are ON THE BOARD!

wheeee!

my sister is cheering for the Detroit Red Wings, a wonderful team.

But even she wants the Guins to win tonight.  Why?  For that selfless reason - so we have a GAME 6!

Go Guins!

oh, and Hockey and Stanley Cup is ALL about LOVE and ROMANCE.  The Romance of The Cup! 

Ah,  strong forechecking in the neutral zone teaches us life lessons about COMMUNICATION!

Enjoy!

All the best,

Yes, NOT to neglect the single men who were like, "Hello, April, what can I do to increase my odds of meeting more women if there are so many MEN in all those business classes?"

Head down the hallway to the arts and crafts rooms.

Or as BabySitting expert Lisa McLellan remarked, "What about all those dance classes that I like to take?"

yup.  FILLED with women.  LOTS of women.  For all those men who write me about how they are in a rut and just are NOT meeting single women or really that MANY single women, arts, crafts, dance classes, etc. are DEFINITELY a great place to work the Law of Large Numbers. 

At the end, you just of stroll over to the vending machines, "Hey, can I buy you a bottle of water?"  I mean, what women would refuse a bottle of WATER?  And it won't break your bank and you've got a convo STARTED.

And that's the point.

When you want further guidance about more specifically HOW after you're meeting more women but not quite converting those to dates, or you're still stuck, well, shoot me a note and check out my services at my website after you've read a number of the articles and we can schedule some one-on-one coaching time.  I can be very general here, but to really help you in your individual situation and go through all the nuances of what you need, one-on-one coaching is best.  And as we all know, it's the winners in life who hire coaches to succeed even further in life and achieve their goals.  I mean, anyone can "Get Married" but how about finding The Best Love Partner for YOU?  And to create a GREAT romantic relationship, one you LOVE, and not one that is boring (yawn) or stifling (eek!).  I mean, isn't that what you want?  A great romantic relationship with a wonderful life partner?  I think you deserve THAT, cause marriage lasts a LOOOoooooooooooNG time!  You deserve the whole shebang.

All the best and THEN some!

OK, now that the weekend is over, we return to our regularly scheduled programming with my work as a Romance Coach and Online Dating Coach.  Time to develop your Romantic Life and GET a Romantic Relationship.  I know, I know, some of you here are already IN a fabulous Romantic Relationship.  I love that.  Romance, Sexual Connection, and Chemistry are all essential elements in creating a really WONDERFULLY rewarding and fulfilling Long Term Relationship.  Gasp, dare I say it?  Yup, even a ... Marriage!

I know some of you here do NOT want to marry again and are not seeking to marry or have marriage be in your life.  While some of you getting married or being married is essential for you.  And some of you are indeed ever so happily married and love marriage.  One is newly in my Vox Hood, but he has YET to post....  I'll introduce that gentleman to you later....

So, back to Easy Dating Tip to Getting MORE Dates.  Because if what YOU want is INDEED to marry, you are seeking MARRIAGE, well, you can pray that your UPS delivery person is your Soul Mate.... or you need to accept reality and GO ON MORE DATES.  Indeed, as singles daters, we need to GO ON DATES to meet people and explore the possibilities for creating that satisfying and fulfilling long term relationship.

So?  What are some MORE ideas and easy dating tips for getting more dates?

On my theme of Summer School, because it is JUST so much FUN.  Today let's contemplate BUSINESS as a topic.

Indeed, if you look at most Bschools and are applying to pursue an MBA, you will find that there are a LOT more MEN pursuing this than women.

Business classes are often the same that way. But not all.

So pick up the brochure from your local community college or learning annex and take a look at the offerings.

What are they offering in Real Estate?
Financial Investments?
Mortgage?  (oh John!)
or perhaps Plumbing?
Electrians?  (hi Matt!)

The point is, go to some classes that are a BIT DIFFERENT for you.

In general, I find the ones which are 1 night, 1 or 2 days, weekend thingamagibbers are the better investment of your time if it is a topic which you are not personally wanting really to DEVELOP your knowledge of. 

Stretch yourself... a little as my friend, Sue Crutcher, Life Coaching and Empowerment through Baby Steps
would recommend.  Baby Steps here.  Don't commit to the time and expense of a 13 week class that you do NOT want to take.

However, while you are there, you MUST make an effort to meet and chat up the Others if you actually want to GET MORE DATES!

Enjoy and Stretch!

All the best,

5 on 3!  Oh MY!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

OK.  For my age demographic, this weekend will NOT be about dating.

Sex In The City, the movie, opens.  Sex In The City, Sex In The City Movie

So, gentlemen, go with the Law of Large Numbers.

I will not suggest that you go to a full fledged chick flick.  Nor will I ask you to hold my purse at the store.  (you might do so while we are at the hospital, but NOT at the store.  I'll NEVER ask.  Your masculinity is safe with me.)

However, you could, ya know, venture over to the movie theatre, and ah, hang in the lobby.  You will SEE and MEET a LOT of women.  I know it is harder to move in when we are gaggled en masse.  Just, movie theatres will be a great place to go Girl Watching.

And ladies?  Where will I be?  Not there.  First of all, I'd rather wait until after opening weekend when it will be CRAZY.  And BESIDES, it's Date Night.  I will, naturally be On a Date. Of course, AFTER The Stanley Cup Game 4....

If you are a single lady?  I think head out to the sports bars and you will meet a lot more men this weekend because so many women will be at SITC.  So, head out early...

Oh, and the Stanley Cup game starts at 8 pm EDT.  So, you could head out to the bars a little early.....  The men will be watching the games.  And you will have LESS competition in The Field because of all the women who will be watching Sex In The City at the theatres.

Have fun and Play Safe!

All the best,
