DATING TIP#28-Only spend as much as you feel comfortable with on a date. So either get creative and plan a date that's not expensive or stick to phone conversations until YOU can take him/her on the date YOU feel good about.

Dating Tip #27- If you're frustrated with the dating scene its because you're not doing it right? How can you be frustrated with good conversation, good food or a great outing? Probably because you're going on dates that have no good conversation, good food or great outings and a whole lot of EXPECTATIONS.- Charmaine 

Dating Tip #26- Great conversation + foul breath = BAD COMBINATION. Keep gum or mints when you are out on a date.

Dating Tip #25- DO NOT waste your precious brain cells trying toanalyze whether he/she is telling the truth, time uncovers all things. So Relax, Hear but DO NOT digest. 

Dating Tip #24- Work on your 60 second response to "tell me a little about yourself.   Be prepared, take out the children, your occupation and educational degrees. Now tell them a little about who you are.( Don't just read this post, if you can't respond without using the three things above actually take the time to write it down and memorize it.

Dating Tip#23- Gentlemen please practice and get at least three approvals from a woman before trying the L.L. Cool J lick of the lips.:)

Dating Tip #22- It doesn't matter who calls first, it matters what you say when you call. It's grown and sexy when you have enough confidence to tell someone when you enjoyed their company. It's even sexier when your confident enough to reciprocate.

Dating Tip #21- Before you go out on the dating scene looking for the man your daddy was to you, ask your mom what kind of man he was to her. You may be surprised.- Charmaine

Dating Tip #19- In order to have the perfect date, you have to know what would make a perfect date for you. What's your idea of a perfect date?

Dating Tip#18- If you are frustrated with the opposite sex take a DATING DETOX.

Dating Tip#17- Men, dating "Dutch" or allowing a woman to treat on the first date is a bad idea if you're interested in a woman. A man being a man allows a woman to be a woman.

Dating Tip #16 Most women don't like a thug(meaning unintelligent hoodlum) but she does like a man who's confident, has swaga and a man she can't run over. He can be in a suit or Timbs. So gentlemen get your swaga and confidence up before you approach. Good luck!

Dating Tip #15- If you are over 30 and still choosing your mate based on how good they look, I need you to grow up :) Looks fade, personality and good character does not.

Dating Tip #14- Don't feel bad if you are single this holiday. One great way to look at being single is you still have the chance to make sure you choose the RIGHT mate.

Dating Tip #9- In order to meet someone with similar interest you first have to have an interest. So outside of eating, movies and traveling get a hobby or interest so you can be INTERESTING.

Dating Tip #8- The best place to meet someone is where you like to do what you like or endeavor to do. Example; museums, scuba diving, reading groups etc. It gives you some point of interest.

Dating Tip #7- Stop putting "All your cards on the table" when you first meet someone. Number 1- the other person doesn't know you enough to care and Number Two- WHY would you tell a stranger your business?

Dating Tip #6- How can someone make you happy if you don't know what it takes to make you happy. No one is a mind reader, Its your job to teach people how to treat you and love you. (Operative word TEACH not TELL)

Dating Tip #5- Make sure you have proven and convinced yourself you deserve love before you try to prove or convince someone else. It doesn't have to be said it should be noticed.

Dating Tip #4- Know what you want before you try to have expectations. I just want to be happy is not good enough and knowing what you don't want is not the same as knowing what you do want.

Dating Tip #3- One of the best ways to get people to approach you is to smile, one of the best ways to get them to stick around is a great conversation. Great smile but dumb as a bag of rocks doesn't mix. :)

Dating Tip #2- Conversation is the biggest attraction after the physical so if you only talk about what you did today, what your girlfriend said, or business ALL the time, up your conversation game. Conversation 101 classes coming to a city near you.

Dating Tip #1- Ladies you can not meet a man at the club, grind your butt on his private area the same night then say you aren't looking for a one night stand. Men must be really confused cause yall confusing the hell out of me! LOL
