Dating requires some effort

dating takes effortI know you hate to hear that but it’s true — gone are the days when you could show up in your dirty jeans and stained t-shirt and get a burger at the car-hop joint in town. Ok, that was never an acceptable date but times ARE changing. The Internet has shown us that there are lots of people looking for new partners so you have to lift your game if you’re going to be a top contender.

Get fit. You don’t have to be slender to be fit. Be able to walk up a flight of stairs without losing your breath. Let your date know that IF you make it to bed that you’re not going to huff and puff and make it all seem like work.

Sparkle. There are some people who think bathing is only required on Saturday night. If any of you are here at SexyAds – you’re wrong. 3 day old body odour is unacceptable and will make you undateable. (is that a word?)

Be able to carry on a conversation.You can talk about anything but you must be able to talk about something. You don’t have to know everything but know something to talk about. Pick up random tidbits of information on Wikipedia or read a book you can talk about, check the CNN website before your date. When the conversation has a lull in it, that’s when you pop in your profound thoughts. You only want to have sex with them and not discuss the world situation? Honey, nobody can fuck non-stop from door to door. There’s gotta be some travel time and getting undressed time and getting dressed again time.

Respect. There is no excuse to leave your manners on the rug outside. Treat people with respect. You might want a dynamo in the bedroom but treat your date with some class and you’ll be amazed at the results you’ll get.

Dating requires effort and a bit of follow-through. You’ve got to make the contacts and go through whatever it takes to make yourself attractive enough to date. I’m not talking about looks here.. your whole person has to attract someone to date. Some of you might think that you’re at the bottom of the dating heap but that’s just because you haven’t thought about it enough. Everyone has someone and you’ll know when you’re ready.
