If you can work up the courage to go over and talk to her, she'd tell you she's really shy — and a victim of dating violence. "I attracted those kinds of guys," she said. "They made me feel like I was nothing." Searle is among the one in five young women believed to be a victim of dating violence. She lent her voice to a campaign to increase awareness in high schools across Utah about dating violence, singing a song she wrote, titled "He Loved Me Not." On Wednesday, Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. signed a proclamation declaring Feb. 5-10 "Dating Violence Prevention Week." "Dating violence is one of the fastest growing and most serious violent crimes in Utah today," the governor said as he signed the proclamation.

Pop star MANDY MOORE wishes she could skip the courting stages of a relationship because she detests going on dates. The 22-year-old singer suffered from depression after splitting from SCRUBS actor ZACH BRAFF in November (06), but has recently been seen stepping out with NICOLE RICHIE's ex-fiance ADAM 'DJ AM' GOLDSTEIN. However, dating leaves Moore in a panic. She says, "I don't enjoy dating in the public eye. I don't even really enjoy dating. "I find it really not fun. When it comes to the romantic side of things, I would rather be a girl in a relationship than dating." .

A BOFFIN writing for Scientific American has come up with the staggering news that people tell porkies when they write their profiles for online dating agencies. Robert Epstein said that more than 90 per cent of online daters lie about something in their profiles. He points to research from Michigan State University which shows that the shorter and heavier people tend to tell bigger lies about themselves. Men tend to overestimate their height by about an inch and women understate their weight more as they get older. A woman in her 20s will take off five pounds, while a woman in her 30s will subtract 17 pounds. Surprisingly, only 13 per cent of men will be married and say they are single, but they will lie about their educational level, income, height, and age. Women will lie about their weight, physical appearance and age.

Last Wednesday over 40 students went to hear Doron Kornbluth, author of Why Marry Jewish, give a slightly altered talk about the importance of dating Jewish or slightly anyone from your own faith. He started off his talk by saying that these were his ideas, and it was not a judgment on anyone and their background. He also clarified the fact that interrdating or intermarriage refers only to a relationship where one of the partners did not convert religions. His messages were all intertwined and quite simple. People should marry people of their same faith because it will be better for the marriage in terms of increased happiness and bonding and that it is better for the children. He said that people come up to me after each talk to tell me how hard it was to be raised "both." The main example he gave was from the previous night at CU-Boulder where a person had been raised in a home with a Protestant and a Catholic said, "it just didn't work." But the main focus of the talk was why dating your faith leads to marrying someone in your faith.

I've recently read a myriad of books and articles that talked about the fatal mistakes females make when it comes to dating and relationships. From an early age, young girls are taught that they should cater to the man in their lives. They should bake cookies and do anything for him. As we get older, we are still supposed to be the girls who will bake for him, except now we are wearing lingerie with an apron on top, with a perfectly made-up face and sexy, voluminous hair. Sometimes when a woman is involved with a man, she can turn into this crazy stalkerish obsessive calling-from-a-blocked-number-so-he-will-pick-up lady. And we do this in hopes that they will want us more, or come to their senses. Sometimes women do this without even realizing it. I find it odd that women are being told how to look, but not how to behave or emotionally restrain themselves at times.

Part of being a real man and not falling into the nice guy friend zone is not letting her hurt your feelings easily. Never let her think she hurt your feelings or struck a nerve with you even when she actually does. Just like the age old saying goes, "Never let em see you sweat". When she knows she can hurt your feelings with her words she'll see that as insecurity. And when you really examine it, it is insecurity. .

While everyone understands the importance of love in a relationship, many people overlook the importance of compatibility. Love alone will not keep a relationship alive beyond the initial stages. Compatibility is the element that keeps relationships going for decades, and a lack of it can spell disaster. Compatibility in a relationship is comprised of compatibility across several areas, all of which need to be examined before a long-term commitment to the relationship takes place. .
