Proclamation targets dating violence

2007-02-08T02:18:00.000-08:00

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.

MOORE: 'I HATE DATING'

2007-02-06T02:21:00.000-08:00

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." .

Scientist shocked that people lie on dating sites

2007-02-02T02:20:00.000-08:00

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.

Dating within your faith, start in college

2007-01-31T02:20:00.000-08:00

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.

Know the dating ABCs: you comes before him

2007-01-29T02:22:00.000-08:00

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.

Dating Advice: Dont Let A Woman Hurt Your Feelings Posted By ...

2007-01-23T02:24:00.000-08:00

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. .

Dating: The Importance of Compatibility Posted By : Rober Johanssen

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. .

Book Review: God Is A Woman: Dating Disasters by Ian Coburn

2007-01-19T02:25:00.000-08:00

Ian Coburn is a well known stand-up comedian. He has headlined in many of the top comedy venues in the United States and Canada. God Is A Woman: Dating Disasters is not Coburn’s first foray into writing (he has created several screenplays in his career), but this is his first book. The book primarily deals with Ian’s romantic (mis)adventures, and he has had plenty of them! There are some uproarious parts in God Is A Woman. I hope his mother never reads a copy of it. He details an adventure that involves his mother’s car, and more importantly his mother’s red scarf. If the poor lady ever reads that chapter, I am convinced he will not get to see another birthday. Coburn is a comedian by trade, and it can be seen in his writing. He has some great phrases.

Online Dating By Religion

2007-01-15T02:27:00.000-08:00

It's often hard to find someone in your local parish or church to spend the rest of your life with. Especially for young people, who have a very hard time finding someone of their age group in the local church or synagogue. Road trips and chaperoned revivals are a good way to meet people who are interested in the same religion you are, but more and more people are turning to the internet for help in finding the love of their lives. One answer to this dilemma is to join a singles group via the internet based on your religious upbringing, an online dating service geared toward the religious background of its users. Christian online dating became popular in the mid eighties, when online dating web sites first hit cyberspace. Christian online dating services promised the users that they would find like-minded people and all their dreams would come true.

2007-01-11T02:21:00.000-08:00

Marilyn Manson's wife, Dita Von Teese filed for divorce from him last week, but the rockstar isn't crying over the split. Sources say he's already filled the void in his romantic life. Manson, 38, is allegedly dating Evan Rachel Wood, the 19-year-old star of his film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll. Manson's relationship with Wood is said to be one of the reasons for his break up with Von Teese. A source close to the rocker told Us Weekly that rather than spending his wife's September birthday with her, he spent it with Wood. Wood was again by Marilyn's side for his own birthday last week. A birthday partygoer told Us Weekly, "They were like an old married couple. She was always right next to him and so attentive." Dita was unaware of her rival until recently.

Online Dating: Safety Issues and Solutions in 2007; Efforts Under ...

2007-01-09T02:27:00.000-08:00

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- With increased numbers of users and an increase in the amount of providers of online dating services comes opportunity for cyber crime and a need for users of these services to maintain safety awareness while surfing for love. In light of this, public safety advocates and state lawmakers are promoting legislation to create greater safety protections for online daters in 2007.

Brazilian soccer superstar Ronaldo went to see a dentist in Rio de Janeiro - and came out with whiter nashers and a new girlfriend. The two-time World Cup winner is seeing dentist Erika Abreu, according to Brazilian paper O Globo. Sources say that after a few sessions in the dentist's chair to whiten his famously goofy teeth, Ronaldo invited Abreu to spend Christmas with him in Rio. The couple then flew first class to Madrid before heading to Paris to see in the New Year together. The lovebirds are now back in Madrid where Ronaldo has hired a dentist's surgery specifically for Abreu to finish his treatment. O Globo claimed Ronaldo had wasted little time since splitting from Brazilian top model Raica de Oliveira, who lives in New York, in September.

Dating woes? It's academic at USF

2007-01-03T02:30:00.000-08:00

But knowing how to find that date can be worth one credit on a college transcript, thanks to a new course at the University of Sioux Falls. Laurie Chaplin, a relationships counselor and a licensed therapist, will teach the class Thursday evenings starting in February. She hopes to slay myths about dating and to help students stay on track in a culture now saturated with divorce. The course, "Finding Dates Worth Keeping," is through the USF Learning Institute, the same agency that offers seminars on wellness, job hunting and business communication. Chaplin laughed when asked if others compare a dating workshop to intramural basket-weaving. "Some people may think it's a slack course, but I think they'll come out with something that changes their lives," she said.

Carolyn Hax is away. The following are excerpts from winter 2005 live discussions on www.washingtonpost.com. Carolyn: I've been out with this girl a few times. After a night of drinking we spent the night together, which was wonderful. Unfortunately, she pushed me away, saying she has feelings for me but can't start anything right now. We're obviously attracted to each other but can't seem to take the next step. When we're out drinking and having fun there aren't any barriers, but when that's over, it's back to normal. Should I let this go? — D.C. If normal is to have nights of drinking, neither of you is ready for the "next step" of a committed relationship. Not a judgment, just an observation. Carolyn: I'm going to a party tonight, and my recent ex will be there with the woman he dumped me for.

Let dating be your guide

It's a big choice, and an important one if you've been dating and would like those special times to continue. Just how big an investment you should put into that Christmas gift should be a reflection of how much investment the two of you have already put into your relationship. Giving a gift that's too expensive too early in the relationship could put someone on their guard, on the other hand, there's a point when those small, thoughtful gifts can be upgraded to something significant. Lavalife dating expert Lori Miller says it's important to find the balance between "distant" and "smothering." Here are a few tips from Lavalife to help you on your shopping spree: One to three dates: $20-$30 Give something you might give a hostess like a bottle of wine or gourmet treat.

Stone tools dating back 20,000 years discovered in northwest China

2006-12-13T02:28:00.000-08:00

Archaeologists have discovered 21 sites of ruins of the Palaeolithic Age dating back more than 20,000 years in northwest China's Shaanxi Province. They unearthed more than 20,000 stone implements from the sites near Longwangchan Village of Hukou Town, Yichuan County, during excavations, said a source with the Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Institute.

The most eye-catching discovery is a polished shovel made of shale, which is 12.7 centimeters long, 9.2 centimeters wide and 0.8 centimeters thick. Experts said the shovel was one of the most important discoveries from the Paleolithic Age in China and estimated it as the earliest polished stone tool ever discovered in China.

Dating controversy hits key fossil

2006-12-09T02:27:00.000-08:00

A key fossil found at South Africa's Sterkfontein Cave, a site dubbed "The Cradle of Humankind" for its trove of hominid relics, is far younger than initially thought, a new study says. "Little Foot," a fossil with both ape-like and human features, was found in the 1990s thanks to remarkable luck and diligent work. It was first dated to between 3.0 and 3.5 million years old, and later to more than 4.1 million years. Those dates generated huge excitement. For one thing, they threw up a South African contemporary to "Lucy," the famous Australopithecus afarensis fossil found in Ethiopia's Awash Valley in 1974 and, until then, chief contender for the title of ancestor of mankind. But a paper published in the US journal Science on Thursday says Little Foot's age is likely to be around 2.2 million years.

Funnyman EDDIE MURPHY is dating R&B producer/singer KENNETH 'BABYFACE' EDMONDS' ex-wife TRACEY, following his split from pregnant singer MELANIE BROWN. The SHREK comedian, 45, told Dutch TV show RTL Boulevard yesterday (04DEC06) that he was "not together anymore" with the former SPICE GIRL, who is six months pregnant with her second child. Murphy and Brown, 31, started dating in June (06) - just two months after the actor divorced his wife NICOLE. Despite Brown's recent claims the couple are having a baby together, Murphy insists he isn't prepared to assume parental responsibilities just yet, saying, "I don't know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test." Last night (04DEC06), Murphy went public with Tracey at the New York premiere of his latest film DREAMGIRLS, where the pretty producer admitted they are dating.

Advent — An observance of the season dating to the 5th century

2006-12-03T02:26:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I feel like we are so engrained in a rush-rush culture that we try to rush things that are better left slow. Tomorrow marks just such an occasion for me. It is the first Sunday of Advent. Advent is an observance in many churches that marks the four weeks prior to Christmas. It is, in fact, one of the oldest annual observances in Christian worship. It's liturgical origins date back at least as far as the fifth century. In churches that celebrate Advent, a common symbol is a special wreath or candles symbolizing the coming of Christmas. Every Sunday an additional candle is lit, one for each of the four Sundays of the season, culminating with the glorious celebration of the Birth on Christmas! It is a time of prayerful waiting, longing, anticipating and preparing for something special that is yet to come.

Pragmatism trumps dating stereotypes

2006-11-27T02:30:00.000-08:00

A new study reveals some surprising information about what men and women find attractive in a partner, and whether romance is driven by finding the perfect match or by taking advantage of what's on the shelf. Researchers at the University of Essex followed thousands of singles at speed-dating events in Britain and studied the characteristics of those who proved most popular. They found that hair colour, contrary to popular belief, had no effect on how full people's dance cards were -- calling into question who really has more fun. "The stereotype of the blond woman or man is unfounded in our data," said Marco Francesconi, an economics professor who co-authored the study with Michele Belot. The finding that men gravitate toward women who are young and thin while women prefer men who are young (but not younger than themselves) and tall comes as no shock, but the study also uncovered surprisingly pronounced effects from certain characteristics.

An Overview of Online Dating

2006-11-25T02:27:00.000-08:00

It is easy to see why online dating has become so popular, as you are able to meet someone anywhere in the world from the comfort of your own computer. However, online dating may not be for everyone. Before you make the decision to join an online dating website, it is important for you to take a number of factors into consideration. You will first want to think about how successful you've been with offline dating. If you have found a reasonable amount of success doing this, it may be strange for you to meet someone on a website. However, if you're a shy person who has tried unsuccessfully to meet someone offline, or you're a loner who wants to meet someone without the hassles of going to clubs, concerts, or bars, the internet may be an excellent tool for you. Much like offline dating, being successful with online dating requires you to follow a number of guidelines.

Want to find a meaningful relationship, or just a good date? No doubt you've heard ads for online dating services. Meeting people online is big business--so far we've spent more than $550 million this year on dating sites.

Most of these sites let you set up a profile free of charge, but you can only fully communicate with the members once you subscribe. And the sites use different approaches to finding that special someone. Four of the sites allow you to view profiles of anyone you'd like to find.

Distance dating

Why doesn't Las Vegas' reputation as the marital capital of the world translate into status as the love capital of the world? In a university comprised where guys outnumber women, there seems to be a view on both sides of the gender line that Las Vegas is not the most friendly place to find a soul mate. Students cite the influence of the local culture, a lack of interest in seeking people to develop a romance with and bad dating shenanigans as reasons for crossing state borders in hopes of finding love on the other side. "I think our city is Sin City. I think that just entails that we have a lot of different things that are available to men and women both," said 21-year-old biochemistry senior, Arial Dunson. "I'm talking about clubs and strip clubs," Dunson said. "All that just makes it difficult to have an honest relationship and a monogamous relationship with people because there are so many different options available."

Two quick points: the basic rule of moral conduct is "do unto others as you would have them do to you." If you do not want someone else to steal your girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse etc., then do not follow an "ethical code" that allows you to act dishonorably towards others. A little bit of empathy goes a long way. Second, learning to be alone in life is a pretty important part of growing up - just as important, and difficult, as learning to be with others. If people really are leaping from relationship to relationship just to avoid being alone then, I'm sorry, these people have issues that they need to confront.

Dating on Singles' Day

Only two or three years ago on Singles' Day, she was happy and going to parties with single friends. Now most of her single friends have found partners, but she has not. At the party Lin attended last year, there were only two other women. "We couldn't help feeling out of place," she said. The three women vowed they would be married before the next Singles' Day. None of them succeeded. "That day has been like the Sword of Damocles over my head for the past year," Lin said. Every year as Singles' Day approaches, thousands of college students and young working people post messages on how they'll spend the day on bulletin board websites such as www.xici.net and www.tianya.cn. Singles' Day is, of course, not an official celebration in China. Neither the government nor any non-governmental organization has named it such.

Finding a sitter hardest part about dating

Those who have been following this space the past couple of weeks will be happy to know that my lovely wife Bonnie and I are doing just fine, thank you. In fact, our relationship has never been better. Turns out marriage counseling really does work. So does Gas-X. Actually, the real reason our marriage has remained strong over the years is that we've never stopped dating. Each other, I mean. The problem with dating, though, as you grow older and have children, is finding a baby sitter. It's almost as difficult as deciding which bunch of incompetent yahoos to pull the lever for this Tuesday - the ones who will probably raise our taxes, or the ones who certainly will. But I digress. My wife and I now have teenagers who can baby-sit their younger siblings, but if you haven't reached that stage yet, you may be feeling some desperation.

Young man's guide to perils of dating

2006-10-30T02:30:00.000-08:00

Dating, said Nietzsche, is crap. It's about as much fun as having dental work performed by a Kodiak bear with Parkinson's disease, which is ironic really because Frankenstein once went on a date with a Kodiak bear with Parkinson's disease - it wasn't an unqualified success. But that's neither here nor there. Frank recently recalled a date he'd been on late last year, which is symptomatic of the relationship malaise we currently labour under. Herein lies a re-creation of the night, which should serve as a warning to all those tempted to dive into the kiddies' wading pool that is modern dating. Scene: a small, trendy bar in an anonymous inner city. Lots of stylish twenty-somethings packed into a tiny room. A table of overdressed roosters cluck and nurse schmiddies in one corner.

Feuding brothers NICK and AARON CARTER went to war on their reality TV show HOUSE OF CARTERS after the I WANT CANDY hitmaker revealed he'd dated his older sibling's ex, PARIS HILTON.

Could Apple be delisted? Options back-dating probes may force ...

2006-10-23T06:49:00.000-07:00

The Wall Street Journal listed 54 companies that are currently at risk for being delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market due to late SEC filings caused by options backdating issues. Apple Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is on that list. Three companies have already been kicked out and it is anyone's guess how many more may be. The problem is not just one for the companies. Nasdaq charges large listing fees, so if a large number of companies get pushed to the pink sheets or bulletin board, the exchange could face falling revenue. It is, potentially, a conflict of interest for Nasdaq. The exchange can allow companies a grace period while they appeal their delisting notices, but the appeal process cannot go on forever or the Nasdaq will lose its authority to act in the best interests of shareholders.

London, England (BANG) - Jealousy is a green-eyed monster and Paul McCartney was recently bitten by its fangs. Paul reportedly invited Heather Mills' personal trainer to his house to ask if they are dating. The Beatles legend just wasn't going to settle until he found out the truth from the source himself. The Beatles legend called Ben Amigoni, 22, to ask if he was romancing his estranged wife and even invited him to his house for a talk. Personal trainer Ben, who was hired by Heather two months ago and recently became her bodyguard, told Paul there was nothing going on. A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "Ben got a phone call out of the blue. He couldn't believe that Sir Paul was phoning him, let alone what he was asking him. Sir Paul said if Ben wasn't comfortable talking on the phone, he could come to his home for a chat.

Sexual relationships between doctors and former patients are "usually inappropriate", guidance published by the General Medical Council states. The GMC said this was the case no matter how much time had elapsed since the doctor had treated the patient. The report, Good Medical Practice, also sets standards for providing good practice and care for patients. Patients' groups said the guide was "laudable", but it should have set out requirements, and not expectations. .

Long Distance Dating

2006-10-23T06:43:00.000-07:00

Do you think long ditance relation ships can honestly last? I've been dating someone for around a year and 5 months now and we're both seniors in high school. So obviously next year we'll be heading off to diffrent schools which are probably gonna be about an hour away from eachother. I think we can make it work and trust eachother. We've been really close for a long time so i'm not really too worried. I mean i know it'll be a lot diffrent becuase we are around eachother all the time. At first she was talking about going to whatever school i was going to but i don't think thats the best way to handle this. I definitly don't think the whole long distance thing would work if you hadn't been dating for a while. I always hear about some of my friends like meeting some girl while they were out of town and then exchanging phone numbbers and he'll be like "Oh my gosh dude.....shes amazing" haha yeah ok.

Single parent's dating life can teach kids

2006-10-23T06:42:00.000-07:00

I think our culture is demonstrably screwed up in how it looks at almost every aspect of divorce. But here I'll skip over the lead-up, and go straight to taking on the universal belief about dating after divorce: a new relationship shouldn't be introduced to kids until it's really ''serious.'' Check out all the divorce books, magazines and online advice -- this one is written in stone. As a divorced mom, I'm raising four young kids on my own. Fortunately, I have wise friends who have helped me to see that the ''experts'' just don't make sense. The universal fear is that children will get attached to a new friend in Mom's life, and then that new friend will be gone. Can't have that, the thinking goes. Why not? As long as Mom is dating good and worthy men and is not being sexually intimate with them, what's the problem? Kids have great adults going in and out of their lives all the time -- teachers, pastors, parents' friends.

Rockers Hit the ‘Dating’ Scene

2006-10-23T06:41:00.000-07:00

Unlike the usual “What's your sign?" heard during traditional speed dating, “What instrument do you play?" was the integral question at last Saturday's “Band Speed Dating" event, held in the Quincy Cage and organized by the Harvard College Alliance for Rock and Roll (HCARAR). Though the event was dubbed “speed dating," instead of being armed with pick up lines and drenched in fragrance, students brought musical equipment of all kinds with the hope of meeting other musically-inclined peers. “The main idea of the event parallels the point of HCARAR, which is to help musicians connect with each other. We want to make the music community more social and tight knit," said Shirley L. Hufstedler '07, president of HCARAR. The inspiration for the event came from HCARAR's Events Liason, Amy R. Klein '07, who got the idea from a music camp she worked for last summer.

Dating rumors fly on ‘Dancing With the Stars’

2006-10-23T06:33:00.000-07:00

NEW YORK - "Dancing With the Stars" host Tom Bergeron sounds like he's skeptical about the denials that two of the couples on the show are romantically involved. Bergeron was asked on "The View" if he thought Mario Lopez was dating his dance partner, and Willa Ford was dating the guy she used to dance with before they were voted off. His answer: "Of course they are." Asked how he'd know that, Bergeron said, "I hear things. I see things." He didn't get more specific, nor did he say if he was kidding. In an earlier episode of "Dancing With the Stars," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told Willa Ford that if she wasn't dating her dance partner, she should be. .
