First dates truly matter in terms of first impressions, and the chance to make any impression past that. Whether you’ve experienced a first date disaster, or even just witnessed a traumatic first between two others, you know that there are certain activities to steer clear from. However, if you are not a regular first date professional as of now, here are some tips of what not to do on a first date.

Ever wonder what’s a good DVD to pop in that will turn your date on and generate chemistry?
Well, look no further. Here is a list for 50 best date movies ever. My favorite from the list? It’s got to be Dirty Dancing and Casablanca!
However, I’m not quite sure how some of them made into the list. Movies like “The Descent”, “The Science of Sleep” are IMO just too bloody or too weird to be considered good date movies.
What do you think of the list? Do you think it missed anything?

One movie I think that should definitely be on the list is “A Knight’s Tale”, with crazy tale mixing jousting and classic rock songs. Heath Ledger was just amazing. |
| Another one is gotta be “Fatal Attraction”. Michael Doughlas and Glenn Close was really great! I like that scene when she sneaks in their house and she’s holding a butcher life cutting herself now isn’t that creepy!! |  |

I was going through a divorce. I was lonesome. I wanted someone to make me feel attractive, to understand my point of view, and give me hope for a happy life.
So I turned to my PC for help.
My foray into online dating came about slowly. First, I emailed a local newspaper columnist who was seeking stories for an upcoming piece about online dating.

Internet dating can be tricky, you never know if the person is telling the whole truth. Often people fudge on minor details. For example, I tell people I am 30 when I am really 33. Maybe today I’m 130 pounds, but yesterday I was 145 pounds. Little white lies can be expected, but what happened next made me question disclosure ethics in the world of online dating.
I met Miguel online in a dating chat room. He appeared to be funny, sweet, and interesting. After chatting for a few weeks, we agreed to meet in person for a real date.

Let me just say this first: I am no authority on the so-called “gold diggers”. In other words, I have been fortunate so far not to date anyone who is interested in me solely for my money, nor had I dated anyone who took off with what little money I had. Yet I was able to come up with this extensive list rather effortlessly. How did I come up with this list so easily, you ask? It is probably because of fear of losing the money I need to eat, pay my rent, and pay my student loans. It also could be because I am so sick of hearing about these “celebutants” whose every move is thrown into the faces of Americans whether they want to hear about it or not. Either way, I surprised myself when I was able to come up with not 10, not 20, but a whopping fifty indications.

You try to ignore it, but the queasy feeling won’t disappear. Is it all in my head? you wonder. Blaming yourself for being insecure, you sweep your worries under the futon.
Three months later, you’re purging the debris of a hit-and-run relationship, wishing you could rewind and stop at the instant you sensed you were getting the short end of the proverbial stick.

A Scene in New York
I ventured into a coffee shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn, when I suddenly saw her.
Thumbing through the pages of her photography magazine, she glanced up to check the time, surveyed the room, then slipped back into a universe of shutters and fitted lenses.
I returned to my laptop and sipped my tea. She didn’t know who I was, and I wasn’t about to tell her.

For those who are in the dating game, you would be surpised on how much information you can dig up on your date using the net these days.
Internet search has totally changed the dating scene. In traditional dating you find out about the person that you are dating by spending time with him/her, and perhaps even through friends or families. Nowdays with our good friend google you can find out more than you want to know about who you are dating within a couple of minutes.
This article takes a look at the current trend of googling for information about who you are dating.
Pam Smith, who went out with a “Nice” man three times got a rude awakending when she typed her date’s name into Google and saw his name on the Most Wanted List.
“…He was the nicest guy you could possibly want to meet…Now, I feel like a fool.”
Would you ever google your date? What happens if everyone’s information is made public? Is compromising user privacy a good cause for better or even safer dating? What are some of your thoughts?

Some call it the “Sugar Daddy Syndrome.” Others call it the “Father was never around” complex. A lot of people have no problem with it, while many find it sick and perverted. Regardless of your own personal views, young women dating older men is a worldwide phenomenon that is gaining popularity and acceptance at an alarming rate.
Why do young women like older men? What attracts 20-something females to 40, 50, even 60-something males? You could spend several hundred hours with a series of shrinks in an attempt to sort through the plethora of possible answers. The only problem with that is that most psychiatrists are expensive and love the term “billable hours.” It would cost thousands of dollars to find out the truth.

Baseball season and dating season begin at the same time. Most people (especially those of us who have suffered a long winter) find that when spring begins its slow crawl - and our favorite team starts winning, we are ready to begin anew our search for a perfect mate for the long summer days and even longer summer nights.
Dating (and baseball) season has only been open since April, and already I’m losing steam. I am no Dice-K, that’s for damn sure.

The other day my penis and my brain were having an argument over where I should take my date. Certainly the analytical side of my brain and the analytical side of my penis were in total agreement. Those two halves of nothing told me to take the female unit to a comfortable setting that would create inner peace and equality for us both. They told me that this setting would naturally deteriorate the predictable psychological barriers that generally are erected out of new found encounters. During this cerebral powwow the creative side of my brain and the creative side of my penis went to battle over where I should take the female unit. In the process they kidnapped the analytical side of my brain and cut off the blood to the analytical side of my penis, draining it of all life and future decision making.

His ad seemed decent. He was a single white male, so we had two out of three things in common right away. His name was John, he was a homeowner, and he loved the outdoors and novels. He said he wanted to meet right away because there was no reason to chit-chat for weeks before the person-to-person encounter. John was a firm believer in physical chemistry; he insisted we’d have to meet each other in the flesh to see if we would be attracted to each other. If things checked out, then we could get to know each other. Being a flexible person, I decided to go with it.

If you walk around LA, you’ll see lots of Asian couples. Look closer and if you can tell the difference, you’ll see that these couples are of not only the Asian race but the same Asian ethnicity. For a city known worldwide for its cultural diversity, LA has many monoethnic Asian couples. Nothing wrong with that, but there are specific reasons for it.

As a new writer for 15minutedate.com, my last intention is to sound narcissistic. However, I am afraid that impression is unavoidable because today I will not only be speaking for myself, but for Jesus as well. We are currently living in the year 2007, and our society of the United States of America has practically become numb to the most private aspect of a human’s life: sex.
The values that our citizens once so proudly cherished in sitcoms like Leave it to Beaver-education, family, and respect, are now slowly drowning in 50 Cent lyrics, strip clubs, and photo rating sites like hotornot.com. Despite what your beliefs may be, Jesus has been watching from the Holy City in the clouds, and is anticipating the very moment when our Earth has finally reached its breaking point; when we are finally over our heads with sin and injustice.

Women can’t say the word “No.” Plain and simple. So what do they do? They use excuses or alibis to tell men they are not interested. Women don’t want to hurt a guys feelings because they know it would kill a guy to hear the truth…”I don’t like you.” While it may appear nice it often leads to guys being misled.
Here is a list of excuses/alibis that women use in order to tell you that they are not interested in you. Girls who like you would never say these things to you. You see whether they fall in love at first sight with a guy, or whether they have the slightest interest/attraction towards a particular guy, they have to go out with them. Period. But when they don’t feel that way - you hear one of the following.

Ever wonder if your girlfriend is speaking a foreign language? Are you frustrated that every time she ask you a question, somehow you always end up with the wrong answer?
Here’s an article that takes a humorous look at the intricate art of reading your girlfriend’s mind when she asks a question.
Questions From Your Girlfriend That Aren’t Really Questions
It contains some common (perhaps overused) questions such as “How do I look?”, “Do you think she’s pretty?”, as well as some funnier ones like “Don’t our married friends seem happy?”.
Enjoy!

No one ever suspects that what happens to someone they know could possibly happen to them. That’s just the way we coax ourselves. “Never going to happen to me.”, we say. A good friend dies by the hands of a stranger she never met without an electronic wall veiling his true identity. Stalked and beaten to death by a complete stranger. That would never happen to me. I was wiser than to give my information over a medium that promised no security to where the information was trickling into.

I’ve learned that some guys lie on craigslist (and in life) to make themselves look good. (To be fair, so do some women. Since when do “curvy” and “obese” mean the same thing?) I’m not sure why people present themselves falsely when they know they’ll be found out, but I’m quite the opposite. Why lie?
I’ve learned that 5′5″ is the same as 5′10″ around here. If you’re 5′5″, that’s perfectly fine. But why say you’re 5′10″ when I’ll find out soon enough that I can look you straight in the eye without craning my neck? Chances are excellent that that’s the only date we’ll have.
