I was asked today if this blog should be renamed to “Dating for Dummies”. Heck no. I’m Dating Dave – and I certainly don’t think any of my readers are dummies! I’m just trying to help my readers (yes, this includes YOU) to make use of my own years of experience dating others – we all deserve some love in this life. The more people in love in this world, the nicer place the world will be for all of us. Truly.

So this website covers a whole range of dating topics, that’s for sure. Why am I writing it? Because I know that finding people doesn’t happen like it does in the movies – easily and without effort. I want my readers to have truly happy lives, to find their soul mate to share their life with. To do this requires dating, and dating is scary for some people, and a new experience. Dating can be hard, stressful, complicated, and annoying. And I’m trying to make that path a little easier for everyone.

The first date is all important. If I can give you some advice on how to relax, how to present yourself well at that first date, how to make good and involved conversation with your date, and how to have fun under pressure, then you’re likely going to be very successful dating. And once you’ve started dating, it’s just a numbers game from there. The more guys or girls you meet, the more likely you’ll meet a good partner that you want to be with (whether that’s overnight, for weeks, months, years, or life).

Second and subsequent dates are important too – this is where you get to explore each other’s potential, interests, cultures etc… so it’s very important to get this right too. This is where knowledge about personality types and dating styles can help. I try to cut through all the dumb stuff when I write.

What should you talk about on a date, and what should you NOT talk about? All of that stuff is discussed in the articles on my Dating Dave blog. Let me help you with your conversation skills, by helping you to avoid all of the stupid things I SAID when I began dating! And how you look (in clothing) can be just as important as what you say… you don’t want to look too “slutty”, “arrogant”, “different” or “odd”. There are ways to present yourself well, and I’ll try to cover some of the popular Trinny and Susannah type advice here within the blog when I feel it’s relevant to do so. Give yourself the best chance!

Understanding body language signals and conversation are important too – so I’m going to write a little about these topics in the future. Let’s get conversations really going, and get rid of the annoying quirks and instant turn offs that we all utter from time to time. Practice makes perfect here.

So, to summarize, this is not Dating for Dummies. This is the Dating Dave blog, a unique and free resource that aims to help you along the path to dating success, using education, fun and laughs. I hope you enjoy regularly reading my blog (please bookmark it) – I certainly enjoy having you here.
