Women are just as fickle as the breeze and if you love opera and love the opera "Rigoletto", by Verdi, ask your self the question about the aria in that opera entitled "E Donna Mobile" and trust me when you men translate it. It is all about women who say that they want love and affection but are truly playing and tugging at your heartstrings. I make as an income of over $150,000 as an actor and all women want is your bank account and not how you feel. I would love to flash a wad of c-notes into the face of a beautiful woman and see how far that gets !!!!!!!! Sorry, just letting off some steam, but guys, be careful !!!!!!!!

I am shattered. I need to go to bed. I have had a wonderful day and I must type this whilst the adrenaline is still flowing..
He is snoring softly stretched out on the bed. As l look at him I am thinking how annoyingly handsome he looks although he needs a shave and that the muscles under his t-shirt are enough to make me stay in this room all day tomorrow.

I have had the most amazing day...We have wandered through the Nachsmarket, laughed at the Punch and Judy show. I have been enchanted by the fact that music is literally in the air in this city. In the Opera house I wanted to learn to waltz. To waltz around those grand rooms to the sound of the Blue Danude, oh what a thrill that would be.

As we entered St Stephens the cool, dank air hit us smelling faintly of candle wax and incense. He reached his hand towards mine as we walked to where Mozart made his wedding vows. Then he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. Out loud he said, 'do you think it would be really bad,' he whispered the rest in my ear. 'What in a Church you mean?' I said in mock horror and laughed. 'I am a good Catholic girl, it would be really bad.' 'Oh thats a shame,' he said. He wrapped his arms around me and picked me up, twirled me about. 'I love you, he said, plonking me back down. 'Get off, you have gone bonkers,' I said blushing. As I glanced around I could see people smiling at us.
We devoured a delicious meal of Wiener Schnitzel, Tafelspitz, Apfelstrudel and Sachertorte and a light refreshment or three in the Schweizer Haus.
Vienna is a must see after sunset...we rode the giant ferris wheel in the Wiener Prater...I felt like I was floating in the sky. As I looked around I could see the whole of Vienna. He said to me, 'I do not need to ask if you are happy you're eyes are sparkling and dancing.' I snuggled in close and said, 'incase I forget to say it later, thank you darling.'
At the bottom of the wheel was a wedding party. The bride was beautiful and her young attendants were dressed in cornflower blue Dirndls or linen shirts and seal skin coloured Lederhosen. They looked absolutely wonderful as if they were about to set off on a Sommerfrische. It was easy to spot the father of the bride he had that I have lost something quite precious and things will never be quite the same look. I asked, 'what do you think goes through the father of the brides head on the wedding day?' He simply replied, 'the guy hopes his new son-in-law will love, care for his daughter and bear her burdens as he has done in the past.'
He offered me the crook of his arm and said lets get you back before you get to tired as you will want to email two young rogues.

I have had the type of day that are memories always with a smile.

I wake up with the sun streaming through the open window. For the first time in months I have slept for seven hours. My head is clear and my mouth does not taste like it is full of ball bearings. I glance over at him, his eyes are closed and he's asleep, snoring softly, his stomach is rising and falling. I break out into an entirely goofy grin. He stirs and rolls over and pulls me towards him.
Slowly I withdraw making sure to be quiet and leave him to sleep.
I take a scalding hot shower. I step out and wrap myself in a hotel tower and rub until my skin is tingling. I am brand new. I have a ravenous appetite, I feel like I have not eaten for weeks. I clamber into a shirt and jeans and sneak out of the room in search of breakfast. I am starving if I do not eat in the next five minutes I will die.
I wander downstairs to see if there is any sign of life. In what appears to be a living room I see a tall male in a striped polo shirt and Jeans slumped on the sofa, watching golf. I hear the tap of a ball and a polite ripple of applause. 'Yes!' he yells, jumping up and punching the air. You beauty!' He turns around and sees me. 'He is winning he explains.' 'Oh right,' I say trying to smile. Golf I do not get, all that interminable walking about and knocking balls into little holes is so mind numbingly tedious I would rather be forced to watch Jerry Springer.
The nice lady appears with her cheeks flushed from being in the hot kitchen..'Ya, ya you awake, I bring you breakfast to room' and she winks turning to head back to the kitchen with a chuckle.
When I enter the room I see he is showered and pulling on his jeans and t-shirt. 'Ah there you are,' he says. 'Wheres breakfast?' 'You are feeling bold,' I say shuffling from one foot to the other. He pulls me down on to the bed beside him. 'Do I need to book into a convent?' I hear myself say. 'You minx,' he says saucily, pulling me back to him so my face is in his neck.He is in full Alpha male mode. He chuckles and asks, 'do you want to stay in this calm and serene sanctuary or want to open two of these,' producing the envelopes from behind his back. 'The envelopes please.' My voice sounding to high and squeaky. Like Tweety Pie on drugs... He reaches over to kiss my face that is glowing like a small childs on Christmas Day.

I was thinking earlier today about the things in my life that I have achieved. To some people they may seem small but nonetheless I feel proud because they are personal to me and 1 of them is something my late mother said I would never achieve so I set about proving her wrong and succeeded.
My achievements are first and most important having my 2 beautiful children, my daughter who is 23 is engaged, working and has lots of friends, she is also the kindest, sweetest person I know. My son who is 14. He can cook, he cooks pasta better than me, he does his own washing and ironing and he is also a gifted linguist and does especially well in Italian class at school. Secondly when I was 40 years old I got my degree in Social Policy and Admin, I got 2.2. This was the thing that my late mother said I would never achieve. When I started the course I was pregnant with my son, I gave birth in the Christmas holidays and went back to University 10 days later. Another achievement is staying in the same job for 8 years, normally I quit after 2 years through sheer boredom. Over the past 2 years I have achieved self confidence something I never thought I'd have but I got there in the end. My most recent achievement is finding happiness with a guy I met on this site. Small achievements yes but it's better to look at what's been achieved rather than what's gone wrong. Looking at achievments gives that feel good feeling if you know what I mean. Everybody has done something that they're proud of no matter how small.

I love watching movies expecially when I am really bored but today you can all sorts of movies online from the latest and from movies I never heard of. The web has opened doors to things like for me to watch a movie from a diffrent country ^_^l!l That is all I am going to blog about movies so... ya. ^_^TALK TO U LATER~

Alright, you're nearly in the homestretch! You wrote a good profile, you made First Contact, they responded, you made Secondary Contact, and you've chatted online. If everything has gone well, you're ready for Level 5 - The Phone Conversation!

Level 5 - The Phone Conversation

In all the previous levels, you've made sure to keep the level of excitement and mystery very high. You still want to keep the attraction level building, so you aren't going to spill your guts on the phone; however, you are going to converse on a little bit deeper level now. They can hear your voice, so now they can react to the tone and inflection of your responses.

Talk in a quiet area - Talking on the road or in noisy places may be unavoidable depending on when the person has called, but hopefully, you've scheduled this out with the person and you know approximately when they are calling. If this is true, then make sure you are in a private and quiet place when you receive their call. If they've caught you at a bad time, be polite and ask to reschedule the call. It will be better for both you and them in the long term.

Nobody likes having to yell over background noise and no one likes to have to repeat themselves over and over. This is an opportunity to show your listening skills. Remember, people are attracted to good listeners. This is also a chance to show off your intelligence and wit. If you mishear something, you may respond inappropriately. That's why a quiet environment is of the utmost importance.

Gently guide them to Level 6 - Your entire goal at Level 5 is to convince the person to meet you in person. If things are at this level, the only natural step is to meet in the real world. You have to handle this delicately though. Come on too strong and the person may get turned off. Don't come on strongly enough and the person may feel you don't like them.

Level 6 - The First Date

You've done it! This is the primary purpose of online dating services. You have used the interwebs to contact an individual and you have used your personal charisma to convince the person to meet you in the real world. You're on your own here because now the Online portion of the dating has ended and now you are meeting the person in the real world. I'm not going to go into details about the first date. I'm sure you can do a quick search on the internet and get plenty of "Do's and Don'ts". Congratulations!


THAT IS ALL

So you've got a good profile and you've written a decent First Contact message. You look in your inbox and you see a response. Welcome to Level 3!

Level 3 - Secondary Contact

It's exciting to see that new message in your inbox, but slow down there, Tex, and make sure you have a measured and appropriate response! The pressure is off a little bit because you've gotten through the toughest phase. You got through all their primary defensive mechanisms and got an express ticket out of Limbo Town. The road ahead is easier, but you must still proceed with caution.

Carefully read their message - I have on occasion received "Thanks, but no thanks" messages. This is why you have to make sure and read it before you shoot off a reply. Also, if you asked a question in your previous message you need to see if they answered their question so that you don't ask them the same thing at a later time (not doing so makes it look like you aren't a good listener). If they asked you a question, you need to make sure and answer them in kind.

Gently encourage going to the next level - You want to keep this message brief as well (unless they've asked you to go into detail about something), but you're whole purpose with the Secondary Contact message is to encourage them to go to level 4 which would be the online chat. Suggest a day and time when you could both be online to chat. The online chat features on most dating sites are pretty good; however, 90% of all the chats I've had are on Yahoo IM. If you don't have a Yahoo IM account, I suggest you get one.

Level 4 - The online chat

Honestly, when I first started online dating, I was against the online chat, but now I've learned that it is a very valuable tool. I think the chat feature appeals to women because they are still anonymous. They haven't given you any personal information (i.e. phone number) so they feel a little safer. It also gives them the chance to interact with you in real time. They can evaluate a man's wit and intelligence by the quickness and quality of his responses. Here are my tips for the online chat:

Don't engage in multiple chat sessions - This can lead to disasterous results. I've heard stories of people trying to chat with multiple people for multiple purposes (i.e. IMing a co-worker and IMing a possible date) and writing the wrong thing in the wrong chat box. Sometimes the results were humorous and other times not so much...

Try and avoid multitasking - The temptation to send out e-mails and check the news websites while chatting online is almost irresistable, but remember this is a real time interaction with someone. You need to direct all your attention to the person. Multitasking while chatting with a potential mate is equivalent to being on a date and then talking on your cell phone the entire time.

Keep it light and flirty - Keep your conversation on the lighter side. Flirt. Have fun. Gentlemen, please be sure to remain gentlemen. Don't try and turn a fun interaction into a XXX throwdown cybering session. You would be surprised at how many women I've chatted with have told me that once a guy hits the 5 minute mark, they start asking for naked pics, or try to engage in online shenanigans. Seriously guys, throw away your "Playas Guide to Online Dating". It's only going to get you into trouble.

Gently suggest moving to Level 5 - Level 5 is the phone conversation. If the person has responded positively to the chat, then give them your phone number first. Don't ask for theirs. It's all about trust. If they like you and trust you, they'll call you. Let them decide whether or not to go to the next level.

Level Two - First Contact

This is another crucial step in the online dating process: The initial message. When most people receive a message, they usually check your profile. That's why you need a decent profile. If they don't like what they see there, they probably don't finish reading your message. If they see something they like in your profile, that's when they'll carefully read your message and decide whether or not to respond. Here are some tips on making that first contact lead to the other levels of online dating.

Read their profile - Most dating sites make this very easy and put the profile where you can read it when you make that First Contact message. In your initial message, you need to show some commonality and by carefully reading their profile will help you do that. Remember, most people are seeking someone similar to them. There are a few people looking for exact opposites or exact copies, but most folks are attracted to people who are like them. It's OK to point out where you might differ from one another, but only if it is something lighthearted like a sports team rival or musical genre. Don't come out and say you're Pro-Choice to someone that wrote in their profile that they are Pro-Life.

Brevity is the soul of wit - A lot of people will tell you that a lengthy message shows a lot of forethought and sensitivity. I don't think so. I've had more success with brief, flirtatious messages rather than long, insightful manifestos. You have to think of your First Contact message as being equivalent to a pick-up line. The advantage you have is that you actually know a little bit about the person and have more than a few seconds to think of something to say.

Have a decent subject line - Using just "Hi" or "What's up" will immediately get you eliminated if the person is on the fence about what you wrote in your profile. You need to use something that draws them into reading the rest of your message. I usually begin a sentence and then finish the sentence in the first line of the message. I also try to be humorous.

Proofread your message - You don't want to come off looking like an imbecile. Check your spelling. Use proper pronounciation. Avoid using too much text speech. Again, the First Contact is going to be your first impression. Do you really want to look like a middle-schooler?

Other tips - Try and be funny: Most people are looking for someone with a sense of humor. Don't over compliment: Everyone likes a compliment, but don't overdo it. It makes you look desperate or shallow (if complimenting their looks). Ask a question: It seems like a cheap tactic, but if you have a question about them, ask it. They might be compelled to answer you. Be polite: Showing courtesy and using "Please" and "Thank you" will only be rewarded. Let the person know that if they don't decide to respond that there are no hard feelings. All these things will make for a better online dating community.
