			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking for love in all the wrong places? Dating can be frustrating, exasperating, and can just plain wear you down. Especially for spiritual singles.It might be time to try something different.  Try a vision board.</p>
<p>A vision board is collage that you make which visually symbolizes all the magnificent things you want to manifest in your life, love included. The idea is that the images will saturate your brain and start affecting your daily life, while sending out a message to the Universe. Eventually you will be able to manifest that which you desire. <span id="more-37"></span></p>
<p>But there’s a trick to creating vision boards. You have to be pure in your intentions. If you’re creating the board with the goal of manifesting a Greek god, you’re headed in the wrong direction. Look deep into your soul and listen to what it is you really want. Do you really want a Brad Pitt look-a-like or do you want to find true love? There’s nothing wrong with pretty people, but it’s better to focus on the true meaning rather than the superficial.</p>
<p>Start off by assembling a few magazines. Snip out pictures of images that best represent what you want more of in your life. Choose things that move you, even if you’re not sure why. Focus on the feeling rather than what you think you should be putting on your board. </p>
<p>Position the magazine cutouts in a fashion that makes sense for you. Take a step back and make sure you feel warm and fuzzy while looking at it. It should inspire and encourage you when it comes to your love life. If it doesn’t, rearrange or take away what isn’t working.</p>
<p>Hang it up in a place where you’ll be able to see it all the time, like your office or over an altar. Then forget about it! By creating the vision board, you’ve already set things into motion. Let the Universe take care of the rest.</p>
<p>That doesn’t mean you get to rest on your butt. You still need to get out there! Join a spiritual dating service and start meeting new people. Just don’t force it or become overly worried waiting for something to transpire.You do your part, the Universe does its part, and that’s when you get synchronicity.Spiritual dating agencies are the perfect way to meet your spiritual soul mate. You’ll be able to meet that special someone who shares your interest in self-awareness and spirituality. So what are you waiting for? Make that vision board and join a spiritual dating service so you can meet that special someone. Join Spiritual dating group at Connect-me dating site in Australia.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dating teenagers is enough to make most parents anxious at the thought and make teens nervous about their first forays into the world of love and relationships. As a teen, you likely don’t have a large budget for dates. As a parent, you want your teens safe and home before curfew. The best solution to all these teenage dating problemsis to keep things light and fun. Here are some fun date ideas for teenagers.<br />
<span id="more-35"></span><br />
Zoo<br />
The zoo is cheap and it’s fun. You can giggle over the koalas, make faces at the tigers, and snack on cotton candy. It’s a daytime activity, (so you’ll be home before curfew), and one that is likely to induce a lot of laughs. </p>
<p>Ice Skating Rink<br />
If you can’t skate too well, it’s a great excuse to hold hands and learn something new together. For parents, it’s nice knowing your teen will be fully clothed and engaged in a fun activity that doesn’t involve the back seat of a car.</p>
<p>Mini Golf<br />
With 18 holes to cover, you’ll have plenty of time to chat and get to know each other. You’ll have a little spirited competition egging you along too which can bump up the sparks. Seeing how your date handles the friendly competition can give you a peek into their personality as well.<br />
<!--more--><br />
Amusement Park<br />
What’s more sweet and romantic than an amusement park? The thrill of riding a roller coaster or getting stuck on top of the Ferris Wheel is stuff the movies are made of. </p>
<p>Bookstore<br />
This one will likely please parents. Teens can meet up at the bookstore and indulge in their more intellectual pursuits rather than their physical. What someone enjoys reading tells a lot about their personality. You can engage in plenty of spirited debate and hang out at the coffee shop that most bookstores have.</p>

It’s casual and you can get to know someone without the commitment of dinner or drinks. &#8230; <a href="http://www.connect-me.com.au/blog/2011/08/coffee-dating-tips/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Do you want to grab a cup of coffee sometime?&#8221; Aside from getting a drink, going out for coffee is a classic first date. It’s casual and you can get to know someone without the commitment of dinner or drinks.<span id="more-75"></span> Need some more convincing? For you coffee dating singles, here are some great reasons to forgo the formality and just get a cup of Joe. Welcome to the coffee dating game. </p>
<p>It’s inexpensive<br />
When you’re dating online, you’ll likely go out on many dates. Dinner for two can easily add up to $80 and even a few cocktails can add up to a pretty penny. But coffee for two? You likely won’t drop more than $10. Even if you splurge on refills and a cupcake, you still won’t spend more than $20. </p>
<p>See into their soul</p>
<p>Does your date order a half-skim, half-decaf, latte, with 3 Splendas? Or a black coffee with no sugar?Here’s a coffee date tip for you: you can tell a lot from your date by what they order. While you shouldn’t make sweeping judgments, you can get a peek into their personality. You can assess if they’re high-maintenance, easy-breezy laid-back, or somewhere in the middle. If you’re a casual type you might find their over-the-top order a bit much. Or if it’s the other way around, you might find them too granola. </p>
<p>Perfect Timing</p>
<p>Unlike a dinner, a coffee date can end whenever you want. No need to get the check or wait for dessert to arrive. You can always pretend you have something to do after and take your coffee to go. Or you can sip on your java slowly and make the date last longer if you’re really into the other person. If it’s going really, really well, you can always segue into dinner. For example, “I’m starving, do you want to get something to eat? I know of a cool place nearby.”</p>
<p>Stay Alert</p>
<p>As far we know, there are no coffee “goggles” so you won’t have to worry about whether you really liked the other person or if it was just the wine talking. Nor do you have to worry about ending up in their apartment the next day trying to erase your hangover. </p>
<p>Our vote? Coffee dating game it is!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Single parents have it hard enough trying to balance the demands of parenting with their own personal satisfaction. Throw dating into the mix and you’ve got a real challenge on your hand. But a single parent dating web site can help you get comfortable and meet other single parents who share the same stresses and burdens that you do. <span id="more-78"></span></p>
<p>That said it’s of utmost importance to make sure your children still remain a priority and that you keep them safe; especially if you’re a single mum dating. You don’t want your kids to go on an emotional roller coaster ride just because you’re dating. Keep in mind the following guidelines when you start dating again. </p>
<p>1. Leave casual dating out<br />
Yes we all have needs, but you don’t want your kids to be exposed to random men or women like a revolving door. You need more than a good time; you need a life partner. </p>
<p>2. Don’t bail on your kids for a date<br />
It’s tempting when you meet someone you think might be extra special to cancel plans with your kids. But don’t do it. Soccer practice and dance recitals must come first. Dates will come and go, but your children are for life. They should still feel like a priority in your life.</p>
<p>3. No sleepovers right away<br />
Even if they’re young, kids can understand that there is something different about having someone sleep over. Until you’re committed and you’ve introduced your partner to your children, sleepovers are a no-no.</p>
<p>4. Wait<br />
Having said that, wait until you’re absolutely positive that you have a keeper on your hands before introducing them to your boyfriend or girlfriend. Forming emotional bonds with someone who may not stick around is not healthy for a child.</p>
<p>5. Don’t stay out late<br />
Staying out until 2am and stumbling in drunk is not the best light for your children to see you in. Remember they will be teens before you know it and you want to set a good example for them.</p>
<p>6. Let your children know you love them<br />
Reassure your kids that you love them just as much as you ever did. Explain the difference between love for them and love for a partner. Children often feel threatened by a new partner, so explain to them how you have enough love to go around.</p>
<p>Single parent networks and single parent dating web sites are an ideal way for busy parents to find love. By establishing a few guidelines, you too can enjoy a healthy loving relationship again.</p>
