There’s no disputing it: from the MacBook to the Nano, there’s something about Apple products that is just downright sexy. From the gleaming white boxes to the bright and shiny screens, each new season they just seem to unveil something better. But nothing gave us a technological boner like when the the sleek, chic iPhone made its debut. Besides being gorgeous, it comes with the ability to download thousands of Apps — applications that allow you to do everything from find recipes to track your workouts. Naturally, it wasn’t long …
So, it happened. He winked. You IMed. After enough flirty conversations over the phone, you both realized it was time to see if the chemistry held up in person.
That. Is. Scary.
Your first real date with an online mate can be so intimidating. Will he look like his picture? Will you look like your picture? Will you have things to talk about? Will you find him as funny over coffee as you do over G-chat?
It’s not easy to ace a first date, but here are some tips:
DO let …
When it comes to online dating, you can put as much time as you like into your profile. You can post great quotes and talk about how much money you make at your amazing job. You can describe yourself as an adventurer, an Italian Stallion, a great cook, or a truly nice person just looking for love.
You might get allotted 1,000 words for your “About Me” section — but considering that’s how much a picture is worth, you might want to put your effort into choosing the best one. …
Facebook is, among other things, a sexist invention. It benefits guys and hurts girls. Guys have an easy way of talking to girls they see around or have in class. They can spend hours checking out hot girls who tag themselves looking great in albums called “This is Why I’m Hot.” If they’re lucky, they can look at girls kissing each other, dancing on tables and falling out of their tops at the bar. Yes, Facebook would have been invented by a man.
Girls use it for looking at people too …
In the beginning stages of a budding relationship, Facebook is a crucial flirtation tool. If you are careful and conscientious, you can use this social network to score some real face-to-face action.
Start by keeping your profile up-to-date and representing the version of you that you hope to bring to a relationship. If you’re only looking for a good time, feel free to keep up the pictures with you kissy-facing your girlfriends and tossing out peace signs with every guy in the bar (wearing their hats and sticking out your …
“We date, therefore we text,” could be a modern girl’s motto. These wise words come to us via Olivia Baniuszewicz and Debra Goldstein, authors of the new book Flirtexting: How to Text Your Way to His Heart. When I first heard there was a book devoted to this, I was skeptical. I text a lot, I thought. But it’s not rocket science. But given that my motto could be, “I text, therefore I’m single,” I decided to read the book anyway and see if I could pick up some pointers. …
Young women today might be called Generation O, for “OMG, I had an orgasm, and now I need to overshare.” We’ve been reading Cosmo since we got our training bras, and we can’t help but incorporate the mag’s ballsy tell-all style into our everyday lives. Then Carrie Bradshaw and company came along, and they were like our big sisters, teaching us that everything is for sharing amongst girlfriends. And friends of friends. And strangers in line at Starbucks.
So when you’re the kind of girl who uses brunch to describe your …
Online dating has been going on for quite some time, but the stigma surrounding it still persists. If finding Mr. Right is taking longer than you’d like, it might be time to get over your resistance and turn your computer into a love machine. It’s not as scary as you might think.
Many people think online dating is for the freaks and geeks who can’t find love in real life. Not so! It’s also for the people who don’t have time to meet a lot of new people, whose line of …
When Facebook gave us the “tag photo” option, it was a bit scary. People could post pictures of us on the internet and everyone could look at them. But then we realized how easily this could be used to our advantage. We could post pictures of ourselves on the internet and everyone we cared about would look at them! I don’t think I took a single picture in college without the passionate hope that it would be good enough to tag, or, even better, win the coveted spot as my …
A simple text message is the most convenient and risk-free way to communicate with a crush. You can think about what you want to say, reach them immediately, and give them time to respond. It’s a totally easy way to put yourself out there, and if they don’t respond, you can just tell yourself that they didn’t receive it. More importantly, it can be done in loud places where a phone call wouldn’t work — places like, say, I don’t know … a bar?
These days, alcohol and texting go together …
