Dating Tip of the Week: Talk to strangers

Calling all savvy singles! Ready for your dating tip of the week? Every day for seven days, your goal is to strike up a conversation with a member of the opposite sex whom you’ve never met. They don’t have to be single, and it doesn’t have to lead anywhere, but this is an exercise in getting comfortable approaching and talking to potential partners. Now, it’s important to exercise good judgment. Don’t approach strangers in a dark parking lot or other unsafe area. Instead, think standing in line at the grocery store, in the elevator at work, while waiting for your latte at Starbucks, or any other place where there are members of the opposite sex present.
Remember, this doesn’t have to be rocket science. You don’t have to think of the wittiest conversation starter ever. The goal is to just get the ball rolling. Potential conversation starters include:
Hi, how are you?
Do you know what time it is?
How’s your day going?
I dig your tie/shoes/watch/etc.
Make eye contact, smile, and wait for his or her response. If it invites additional conversation, great! If not, your job is done and you can move on.
Good luck and let me know how things go!

Click the play button to hear the podcast:
Calling all breakup survivors! Whether you just got dumped, are healing from an old breakup, or are somewhere in between, this tip’s for you. I recently told you about a site called first30days.com that chronicles the first 30 days following a major life event. Well, in keeping with that theme, every day for the next 30 days I want you to mark your calendar. If you go all day and all night without contacting your ex in any way, and that includes cyber stalking his or her myspace page, driving by their house, texting them, then give yourself a gold star (or smiley face, etc.) for that day. If you break down and contact your ex, highlight that day as a setback and pledge to do better the following day. The goal is to get 30 consecutive days of gold stars on your calendar. If you can achieve that, you are well on your way to recovery. If you have setbacks, that’s okay. Just keep going. The goal is to hold yourself accountable for your healing and encourage yourself to move on. Good luck!

The Couple’s Guide to Getting Fit in 2008
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on February 16, 2008 - 7:02 am
When eHarmony initially approached me to write this article, I felt a bit daunted. After all, Mr. XY and I could do a better job of motivating one another to exercise more and eat less pizza (drink less wine, have less dessert, etc.). Since writing the article, I’m happy to report we are on a healthy living kick that includes regular exercise, more fruits and vegetables in our diet, and much less sugar. Of course, that didn’t stop us from ordering pizza over the weekend and enjoying a nice bottle of wine. Still, nobody’s perfect. And in an effort to constantly improve myself and my partner, I’m taking the following article to heart.
Serious about getting fit in 2008? Now that the holidays are over (and all the goodies have been gobbled), lots of people have health and fitness on the brain — and not just their own. If you’re happily hooked up, you may have your partner’s health and fitness in mind as well. Wish he’d eat healthier? Want her to stop talking about losing 10 pounds and just do it? Regardless of what your fitness goals are this year, you’ll be better able to attain them together by following these simple and effective tips:
Tip #1: Set an Example
If you’re trying to motivate your partner to get fit, the single most important thing you can do to get started is set a healthy example. Don’t bother nagging or complaining about his or her bad habits. That may only cause resistance and/or resentment. Instead, inspire by example. Create your own healthy new habits like going to the gym every day, cutting out junk food, refraining from eating after 8 p.m., etc. In addition, start talking to your partner about the healthy habits you’re incorporating into your daily life. Share why they’re important to you, and how they make you feel strong and confident (and maybe even super sexy!). If you’re consistent with your healthy new routine, your partner will see that and most likely be inspired.

How to Get Out of the Dreaded Friend Zone
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on February 13, 2008 - 9:46 am
Admit it. You’ve got a crush. In fact, you’re crushing hard. And while having a crush on someone can be fun (the thrill of the unknown, the butterflies in your stomach when he calls, emails, smiles at you), it can also be stressful. Not knowing if the object of your crush returns your affections. Feeling like your heart is on hold. Getting stuck in the dreaded Friend Zone. Sound familiar?
Before you let yourself fall any harder for your crush, you need to assess the situation and pick a course of action. Do you want to keep your feelings a secret, forever harboring unrequited love/lust in hopes that he’ll one day look at you, profess his undying devotion, and offer you a happily ever after proposition? (Keep dreaming!) Or do you want to extricate yourself from the Friend Zone, forever altering your current limbo status in hopes of at least finding out where you stand? As scary as that second scenario sounds, it’s the one to choose. After all, you deserve to know if your feelings are reciprocated. And if not, you deserve to let go and move on, to eventually find someone more deserving of your love and loyalty.
At the very least, you deserve to get out of the dreaded Friend Zone.

Arianna Huffington on Breaking Up With John McCain
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on - 7:52 am
Admittedly, I’ve been a bit of a flip flopper this primary season. Torn between a candidate with “tons of experience” and a maverick who dares to inspire a nation, it took me awhile to realize I was buying into the marketing hype behind their campaigns. My vote firmly cast for the candidate I believe holds the key to our promising future, I can now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
Enter Arianna Huffington, my all around idol and super savvy lady. Yesterday on HuffingtonPost.com, Arianna wrote about why independent voters and the media should break up with John McCain, the once straight-shooting, let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may maverick who is now basically a Bush conservative. I always say breakups apply to more than just romantic relationships. Arianna takes that theory and applies it to the political scene. Read the article here.
