New Found Confidence

Woohoo! Contributor LJMaggie has a spring in her step, despite no word from What’s His Name…
Not even sure how or when it happened. I am still upset the single dad hasn’t called me back, we are going on week 3 of no communication. Not a phone call, text message or email. Nothing. Still a little worried that something might have happened but not letting it stress me out. I have been reading a lot about dating online to keep my mind off things. Everything I am reading is helping me realize I might have seen more than what was there. Then on Friday night I was watching 20/20, (Yes I watch news programs the primetime ones are my favorite). The one this past Friday was about sex, men and cheating and the infamous author of The MANual by Steve Santagati was one of the experts John Stossel was talking to. For those of you that haven’t heard of the book or seen it at your local bookstore, it is one Bad Boy’s advice for women, very straightforward and honest. Throughout the segment Steve was saying women with confidence come off as more attractive. It is something we hear ladies but sometimes hard.
After 20/20 was over, I looked up Steve Santagati and his book. I found his site and then looked up the reviews on Amazon, one of which was from Miss Lisa herself. Most of them were praising his honesty about how guys really are. After watching 20/20, reading Steve’s site and the reviews, I decided I had to get the book. The next morning I got up and headed out to my local Borders to get it. I even did one of the things Steve had mentioned on the show the night before, always look your best when you go out. It is something mom has always said to us ladies but believe me, it makes you feel amazing. The whole day running errands, I had this new found confidence. It might also be me getting used to the new hair color but I was walking taller, smiling more and being nice to everyone. I think I even had a guy checking me out at Borders. Then as I was driving out of the parking lot, there was a guy walking in front of me that did a double take and flashed me a big smile.
My new found confidence lasted all day and I felt great. Anyone who is wondering how to get this confidence, just look inside yourself and realize you are a great person who deserves to be happy. Carry yourself with that confidence all day, smile at strangers and see what happens. You might be surprised, I know I was.
Demystifying the Single Woman
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on July 23, 2008 - 7:38 am
This one’s for the guys…
Ever wonder what goes on inside the single woman’s mind when it comes to dating? It’s not as dark, mysterious, or scary as you might think. In fact, by getting to know what and how we think, you may just discover a thing or two that’ll make trying to date us easier. Then again…
We’re not all about looks, so you shouldn’t be either
While we appreciate the aesthetics of six-pack abs, bulging biceps, and a great butt, you don’t have to have them for us to consider you a catch. But just as we’re willing to accept your beer belly and/or back hair, you should accept us as we are. And even though we don’t look like Angelina Jolie, when you compliment us on our curves, calves, or killer smile, we kinda feel like her. (Hint — that would make you Brad Pitt, and most of us would do a whole lot to Brad in the bedroom. Bring on the compliments!)
We like it when you make the first move (but if you don’t, we might)

The Do’s and Don’ts of Dealing with Your Ex
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on July 20, 2008 - 7:34 am
Woohoo! eHarmony continues publishing my articles. Here’s one on dealing with your ex…
Everyone knows breaking up is hard to do. But staying in contact with your ex following a breakup? That’s where things get really tricky. By remaining in each other’s lives, you run the risk of a post-breakup rendezvous, holding onto feelings for your ex, and in general delaying your ability to heal and move on quickly (and without additional heartache). The following are some tips to help you avoid a post-breakup backslide into your ex’s arms, and instead ease you into your happily ever after future:
Create new Boundaries
Your best defense after a breakup? Immediately create new boundaries with your ex. That means no phone calls, no e-mails, no texting, and definitely no late-night visits. Your ex is now your ex. That means it’s time to “ex-tricate†him or her from your life.

Should I be worried or upset?
Submitted by LJMaggie on July 16, 2008 - 8:18 am
It’s a dating jungle out there, as frequent contributor LJMaggie has recently been reminded of…
I am not really sure right now. Things with the Single Dad were going along really good. Every time we were together we had fun and enjoyed each other’s company. I wasn’t sure where things were going but excited about the possibilities. That was all until a week ago. We shared another great night together, laughing listening to music and falling asleep in each other’s arms. And now I haven’t heard from him in over a week. I honestly couldn’t tell you why either. I keep going over everything in my head trying to figure it out and I can’t. I called once after the holiday to see how his weekend was and nothing. Then the other day I sent him a text because I am genuinely worried and wanted to know if things are okay and still nothing. I am not really sure what to do.
When I sought advice from a couple of trusted guy friends of mine, they didn’t know what to think either. But they did tell me I should just lay low for a while and even move on. The more I look back on certain actions, I realize I might have thought it could be more than it was. It was hard to face that reality but it is something I have to accept. I am still worried about him because I haven’t heard anything but know I can’t wait around.
The recent events have made me realize it is time to focus on me. I recently launched my website and yesterday I colored my hair completely different. I just went into the salon with a picture and said I need a change. It is a little scary but also very exciting. I have to take time to get to know myself again and listen to Mercy by Duffy.
