Dating can be difficult and in a day and age where everyone is super busy and most people have more than one job it can be very hard to find time to date. That being said, we also live in a day and age where there are now more technologies than ever to help you find a date and get started dating.

How to Get a Great Date

The fastest way to make sure you are going to get a date with someone you are really compatible and are going to end up liking is to be truthful on all your questionnaires and other profile material. It is tempting to lie and say that you love classical music to look more sophisticated or to say that you have read that 1,000 page book to grab the interest of another person, but if you lie on your applications and profiles you are far less likely to really connect with someone.

Another great tip that helped me get a first date with a guy I really like is to make sure that you are diligent. You have to check profiles daily, take the time to update your profile when you need to, and make sure you are going to be keeping up with communication like emails and texts that you may get. No one hates being ignored and when you are not answering communication you may end up missing out on someone that really is interested in you and that may be a great match and you will never know it.

The last bit of advice you can follow is to make sure you are open to dating. If you have one set person or one set type of person in mind and you do not open up or prepare for other possibilities, you may not be able to see the people that might really connect with you. Being open to possibility is one of the best ways you can make sure you see all your opportunities not just those that you are 100% comfortable with.

What to Do After You Get A Date

There is of course that moment of what do I do after I get the date that I have been looking for. There are a few different approaches you can take but the first is to make sure you are open and willing to take the time to try and make it work and to really be open to the date. One of the fastest date killers is a closed mind and being open may just lead to a great date that leads to a great relationship that you never saw coming.

Dating is difficult but with the right profile and the right approach and mindset, you can have great first dates that end up leading to something that is worthwhile and meaningful.

Spontaneous romantic interludes often come when both parties least suspect it, and this certainly includes when one or both are on vacation. People on vacation tend to be relaxed rather than preoccupied with work or school, dressed in attractive clothing, and open to new adventures. To get the most out of potential romance on the road, follow these 10 Vacation Hookups strategies.

Don’t Consider Vacation Hookups a Given 

Visiting an unfamiliar place with an air of expectation  that hookups are part of the package is a losing strategy. Don’t try too hard — simply enjoy yourself. Keep an open mind about potential new experiences, but act like you’re owed a hookup.

Be Careful About Leaving Clubs With Strangers 

Keep in mind that clubs in certain parts of the world attract those who prey on American citizens. Although it may be tempting to leave with an attractive stranger who suddenly comes on to you, resist the urge to do so if something just doesn’t feel right.

Be Prepared

Men and women alike should carry a small stash of condoms. It’s just good sense.

Don’t Make Empty Promises 

Avoid leading on potential partners with promises of lasting romance. By the same token, beware of people you’ve just met declaring their everlasting love for you — they may be trying to score an American wife or husband.

Don’t Develop Unrealistic Expectations

On the flip side, you and your vacation romantic interest may decide to keep in touch after you’ve returned home. That’s okay, but bear in mind that these things almost always fizzle quickly.

Be Yourself 

Don’t pretend to be something you’re not (an investment banker, for instance), to attract potential short-term partners. Just be yourself and have an authentic experience.

Don’t Get Too Drunk 

Too much alcohol can lead to an embarrassing lack of ability to perform as well as bad judgment. Going light on the booze ensures that you’ve got all your wits about you. You don’t want to end up in a strange bed in a strange city with no idea of how to get back to your hotel.

Go a Little Outside Your Comfort Zone 

Try hooking up with someone outside of your usual “type” while you’re on vacation. You might discover that you’re not as stuck on a certain kind of person as you thought you were.

Always Tell Friends or Family Your Plans 

Tell at least one person in your group where you’ll be before you slip away for a secret vacation tryst. You don’t have to give them details of what you’ll be doing.

Using common sense, treating the other person with respect, and minimizing unnecessary risks are the three key elements to having fun and memorable romantic interludes while on vacation.

Without further ado, the following is an overview of 10 of the best hookup quotes ever. 

Top 10 Hookup Quotes

  2. “Finals are like a bad hook-up, your test grades will always come back to haunt you” ~Unknown (Eh, hopefully not!)
  3. “A promiscuous person is a person who is getting more sex than you are.” ~ Victor Lownes (We approve this message!)
  4. “Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He’s a genuinely cool guy. He’s using his powers for good” ~William H. Macy (Well, not everyone…at least, no yet!)
  5. “I know nothing about sex, because I was always married.” ~ Zsa Zsa Gabor (Ouch!)
  6. “Sex at age ninety is like trying to shoot pool with a rope.” ~ George Burns (Let’s just hope we all live to find out!)
  7. “Familiarity breeds contempt–and children.” ~ Mark Twain (Profound! No wonder he still sells all those books!)
  8.  “I’ll hook up with you this Cinco de Mayo if you can refrain from calling me a hot tamale” ~Unknown (OK, this one is a bit corny…get it??)
  9. “Literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children; life is the other way around.” ~ David Lodge (Say it again, Dave! I don’t think they heard you way in the back!)
  10. “Anticipation makes the hard-on longer.” ~ Itsby Stevintary (Zero lies detected)

The bottom line, hookups are interpreted in many different ways by many different people. Rather than getting caught up in what others think, why not just live your own life and create your own hookup quotes? But don’t forget to save this article for reference!

We’ve all been there. Scouring dating websites and checking the latest apps to find the potential match made just for us. Unfortunately, when using Facebook, looks can be and are often deceiving. If you are searching for hookups on Facebook, there are a few guidelines to follow to ensure you are not meeting with someone who is not the person you are interested in, or worse, finding yourself in serious danger.

Profiles Without Actual Photos of the User You Are Interested In

When you are looking for hookups on Facebook and come across a user who seems to be interested in similar opportunities, always be sure to thoroughly vet their profile before giving out personal information of your own. It is also highly advisable to keep your profile set to “private” or “friends only”, which can be found in the Facebook settings options on the site. Keeping your profile safe and secure will keep any unwanted users from finding information that may allow them to “connect” with you, even if they are not who they say they are. Be sure to check the users’ profile photos and location, as well as the school they have attended to verify that they are, in fact, a real person. Ask for proof by sending photos back and forth prior to meeting, sometimes holding a note if you are suspicious of the user’s true identity.

Changing Stories and Flat-Out Lying

Tired of hearing lines that simply seem “copy-pasted”? This happens frequently and can be dangerous if you are searching for a hookup with someone who simply does not seem believable. If a user you are talking to is changing their stories, making excuses regarding meeting up, or changes their tone often, steer clear! It is always best to connect with someone who has a mutual friend who can verify the identity of the person, especially if you plan to meet them in the future.

Information Listed That is Non-Existent

If you are on a Facebook user’s profile and find information that is unfamiliar to you, do a quick “Google” search. Searching through “Google” or even searching for an image that you are suspicious of may surprise you. Avoid getting “catfished” or blatantly lied to by digging in and doing proper research. Is the school the user you are speaking with non-existent? How about the company he or she has listed? Do they share photos of others who can quickly be found in seconds with a Google search? Always be sure to do thorough research before you even consider meeting up to hook-up with someone you have just met online, even if it is through Facebook.

The more aware you are of the type of users there are on Facebook, the easier it becomes to spot “fake” profiles when searching for hookups on Facebook, regardless of your intention.

With 2016 quickly coming to a close, this is a great time to reflect on the year’s events. Let’s see, there’s Harambe, a circus of a presidential election, and Hollywood hookups! Yeah, we know what you like and we’re going to give it to you. The following is a closer look at the top Hollywood-related hookups that have occurred in 2016… So far. 

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna 

By far one of the most talked about and messiest hookups of 2016, if you haven’t yet heard about Rob and Chyna, you will! Although they are clearly much more than a hookup at this point (baby and wedding coming soon) they did seem to just randomly get together earlier this year, much to the dismay of their family and friends. Either way, you can’t mention 2016 hookups without touching on these two.

Kylie’s Rumored Rebound

Speaking of “Keeping up with the Kardashians”, young Kylie actually took a break from her older beau to take a trip to the Party Next Door. Although this has not been confirmed, there were certainly issues between Tyga and Kylie and she definitely hung out with PND at some point. Feel free to continue to discuss this one amongst yourselves.

Drake and Hailey Baldwin, et Al

A seemingly unlikely pairing, the well-known rapper “dated” Baldwin at some point earlier this year. However, the play boy has also been closely connected to the likes of Serena Williams, Rihanna, and countless others. Doesn’t look like this “Rude Boy” plans on settling down any time soon.

Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook

Much more than a theory, it seems that Cook may have already gone in for the “big bang”. Fresh out of a fairly quick marriage, Cuoco is back playing the field and she is just beaming!

Lessons from Hollywood Hookups

Although we like to poke fun and give them a hard time, celebrities are people too. People who love, people who get hurt, and yes, people who have sex. It is truly nobody’s business as to who is sleeping with who in this world. However, this information is certainly entertaining, to say the very least!

Passionate couple kissingUndoubtedly, sex is amazing. Not only is sex pleasing and enjoyable, but it releases endorphins and helps keep you fit. Therefore, it should come to no surprise that many people crave sex. While some people look to their girlfriend or boyfriend for regular sex, others choose to hookup with other people for casual, no-strings-attached sex. If you’re trying to find hookups nearby, here are a few tips that should help you do just that.

How to Find Hookups Nearby

1. Online Dating

While online dating began as a way to find true love, many people now look to online dating to find hookups nearby. Of course, while there are some people who still use online dating to find a partner, many active users depend on online dating websites to find casual sex nearby. As long as you are clear with your intentions from the get-go, you should have no trouble finding hookups.

2. Bars

If you’re outgoing and an extrovert, bars can be the perfect places to meet new people and find hookups. While the settings of bars are often similar to that of clubs, they are usually not as intense. Sports bars are frequented by mostly guys while karaoke bars tend to have a lot of girls. As long as you’re charismatic, you should have no trouble finding hookups at bars.

3. Clubs

Clubs are also prime locations to find hookups. However, it is important to keep in mind that people at clubs tend to get drunker than people at bars. Therefore, if you’re looking for hookups at nearby clubs, you need to initiate contact with potential hookups before they become too wasted to give consent.

The main advantage of looking for hookups at clubs is that your inhibitions will go away quickly. Therefore, you will have an easier time finding a hookup. Just be sure not to sleep with people who are incredibly drunk.

4. Social Media Websites

Social media websites are another great way to find hookups. Facebook is a common choice among people looking for hookups. However, if you choose to use Facebook, it is important to keep in mind that prospects may have access to all the details of your life. Prospects will be able to look at all your pictures, posts, and friends and judge you accordingly. Of course, you will have the opportunity to do the same to your prospect. If you don’t like hooking up with complete strangers, social media websites are a great way to get to know them a little before engaging in casual sex.

5. The Gym

Believe it or not, the gym can be a great way to find hookups nearby. People working out in gyms tend to be full of endorphins. Simply complimenting the abs of those you find attractive could get you a hookup for the night.

Perfecting the art of finding hookups can be difficult. For more information about how to find hookups nearby, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Internet technology makes just about everything possible. In today’s society, more people meet online than anywhere else. There are many different hookups sites, but hookups on Twitter seem to be a popular way to find what you want. These three ways can help you get the hookup.

1. Set Yur Target Hookups on Twitter

There are millions of people on Twitter to choose from. Going through every Twitter profile will take forever. Instead of wasting time, set your search criteria for what you want, whether it be a man or woman, short or tall, slim or curvy, blue or green eyes, maybe brown, or short or long hair. Be as specific as possible so your search results will give you exactly what you need. Talking to random people may be your thing, but if you are trying to get what you want, skip the small talk with randoms.

2. Match Your Interests

It’s good to have a few things in common with your hookup. Although it’s a hookup, being with or around someone you have absolutely nothing in common with can be a boring drag. if you have a few things in common with your hookup, you can break the ice by talking about a few of your interests, hobbies, and other things you may have in common. Breaking the ice gives you and your hookup a little bit of background on you without being too personal.

3. Find Hookups in Your Area

Finding hookups in your area gives you a better chance of actually hooking up and you are less likely to become a catfish victim. Being in the same city or state gives you both something to talk about and makes it easier to hook up more than once.

4. Fix Your Profile Photo

Your profile photo says a lot about you, so it needs to be nothing less than perfect. This photo is everyone’s first impression of you, and the impression must be excellent. There’s no need to Photoshop anything, but make sure you are the only person in the picture. The profile picture should be a clear shot of your face. No shades or anything else covering your face.

5. Create an Interesting Bio

Your bio is the other part of your profile that tells people who you are. Don’t tell your life story, but list a few interesting facts about yourself, including your hobbies, a few of your likes and dislikes, and plans you may have for the future. Give people a peek into your world without giving them a free show. This will intrigue people to want to know more about you and you may have to offer.

Is a serious romantic relationship just too much for you to handle at the moment? Maybe you are seeking a casual relationship because the thrill of a new lover excites you. Perhaps you simply don’t need all of the problems which come from a long-term relationship. For whichever reasons you choose to have casual sex, do it the right way. Know the Casual Hookup Rules

 

If you want to have fun, safe, and hassle-free hookups, you need to follow the rules.  These are a few casual hookup rules you shouldn’t break:

Casual Hookup Rules Do’s

Be upfront about your intentions. Make sure your partner knows what you want, and layout some casual hookup rules of your own. Do you hate staying over, or despise phone calls the morning after? Say it.

Be in control. Don’t let your inhibitions hold you back, but always remain in control. Keep your emotions in check. It is “only sex”, and developing strong feelings for your partner will lead to heartache.

Get what you want.  Have you always wanted to try that position you saw online?  Do you have a kinky fetish which you were always afraid to talk about with your ex? A casual relationship is the best place to explore your unique sexual proclivities.

Have an exit strategy. Create a post-sex plan before hooking up. Always have a way out of a hookup to avoid feeling trapped. Setting a limit on the number of times you meet someone is not only practical, but it can increase the intensity of the sex because you know when it will end.

Casual Hookup Rules Don’ts

Don’t be ashamed. While casual sex may not be something you want to brag to your mother about, it shouldn’t make you feel bad either. “Getting some” should relieve stress from your life, not add not it.

Don’t act like a couple. Avoid doing and saying things which blurs the line between being casual, and being in a committed relationship. Don’t meet for lunch, unless a nooner is involved. Never use the “L” word.

Don’t share too much about yourself. Does your one-night stand really need to know where you grew up, your friends, or your Facebook user name? Sharing too much may not only lead to emotional attachment, but can become dangerous.

Don’t do something you don’t want to do. Everyone has their limits. Just because you will might never see this person again, avoid doing anything you are not 100% comfortable doing. This includes not pressuring your partner to do something he/she is not up for trying.

NSA sex can be healthy and fun if you play by these casual hookup rules. Get out there and see what casual hookups NYC style is all about!

Okay, so you only had two dates so far and you already slept with him. You might be feeling guilty or afraid that he won’t call you again and you might think “I slept with him, now what?” After all, lots of guys just take what they can get and move on.  But if you’re honest with yourself, would you really want to be with a guy like that anyway? Don’t worry. Here’s what to do if you slept with him after two dates.

WOMAN

1. Don’t Feel Guilty

We all do stuff we’re not particularly proud of. But feeling bad about yourself is only going to make things worse, not better. Besides, if you feel guilty, you won’t be able to look and feel your best, and that’s not fair to anyone.

2. Stop Wondering “I Slept With Him Now What”

Either he’s going to call you or not. Wondering whether he’s going to call or not isn’t going to change the final result.. So stop wondering what happens next. What happens next is you get on with your life, and if he calls, then great. Otherwise, it really doesn’t matter to you. Basically, there is nothing that you should expect to happen. It’s what you want to happen next.

3. Stop Obsessing Over Your Phone

Some guys call, and others don’t. No one knows why do guys not call after you sleep with them. But it’s not true for every guy. There are personal reasons why a guy will call or not, ad they don’t necessarily have to do with you, so stop obsessing over your phone and hoping it will ring.

4. Don’t Judge the Next Date on the Last Date

Whatever happened on your last date, it doesn’t have to influence your next date. Just because you slept with the guy once doesn’t mean now you have to do it all the time. You can explain to the guy that you felt it was a mistake, and maybe you guys will go out again and slow it down a bit. The point is, the dates don’t have to include sex each and every time just because you slept with him once.

because so many people travel for work or have long distance relationships. Here’s how to look hot doing it.

Work the Lighting

Before you go live, work the lighting in the room so you look your best. Start with your personal best angles. You probably look better lit from one side or the other, or from straight on. Play with the lighting and figure out which position makes you look best.

Next, change the light bulb. Everybody looks better in amber light, so get one of those colored bulbs and use that.

Figure out the Angle

Make sure your camera angle isn’t hitting you from the bottom. If you have to look down to see the camera, your face and neck may crease more and you won’t look awesome. Instead, raise the camera level so you’re looking up at it. This will pull your face taut and you’ll look sexier.

Dress for Webcam Dating

Do your friend a favor and don’t appear on camera in your everyday sweats. Dress as if you’re going out for a night out. Something slinky with spaghetti straps is always good, or an off the shoulder dress.

Be sure to wear sexy lingerie even if you don’t plan on showing it. The lingerie will make you feel hot and steamy, and you might change your mind about displaying your best assets.

Go Dark with the Makeup

Web cameras have a tendency to wash you out. Be a little heavy-handed with the makeup, and wear a vibrant lipstick color that accentuates your lips. Make sure you brush on some cheek color so you don’t look pasty.

Be a Vamp

As you’re speaking on the webcam, lick your lips slowly and often. Your date has nothing to do but watch you. That’s one of the benefits of webcam dating; you have a captive audience, so take advantage of it. As you lick your lips, try to act like you don’t even know you’re doing it. Every so often, run your fingers along the edge of your neckline of your dress as if you’re just itching to undress right then and there.

Play With Your Hair

Hopefully, you’ve gotten a manicure before your webcam date. Get the most value out of your hot red nail polish by playing with your hair a lot as your date is talking. Twirl it around your fingers and tilt your head like you’re distracted by your very naughty thoughts. Every now and then, lean your head back and shake your hair off your shoulders.

If you’ve worked it well, for this last part, you’re going to want to be behind a locked door. The last thing you want is someone walking in unexpectedly and ruining the mood for your webcam date. Whether you’re doing NYC dating or using webcam dating for someplace else, it’s worth it to look as hot as possible using these tips.
