10 Things Never to Say to a Girl
She’s just a friend. Yeah right. If she’s attractive and single we see her as a threat. If she really is just a friend, let us know the reason why. Is it because she’s not your type, she has a boyfriend, she has an annoying personality? We like to be reassured that you’re not secretly into your “friend”.
I’ll call you tonight at 8pm. Do NOT give a specific time or date of when you will be calling unless you intend to keep your word. If you say you will call tonight, we are expecting a call tonight. Not calling will set off all sorts of alarms that will lead to us not trusting you. If you don’t know when you will call, you can say something like, “I’ll talk to you later.”
She’s hot! We like to think that, at least in your eyes, we are the hottest woman on the planet. Pointing out that someone else is attractive will not earn you any brownie points. We don’t want to know if you think anyone else is hot, so zip it!
I don’t use condoms. That’s nice. We don’t want an STD. Condoms are a fact of life in today’s society, so unless you’ve been tested and plan to be monogamous, get used to them.
I love you – If you don’t mean it, you’ll be opening Pandora’s Box. Women do not take this statement lightly. We are waiting for you to say it and when you do, we assume the relationship is moving to the next level. If you’re not ready for that, then don’t utter these three little words until you are.
Did you gain weight? Does this one really need an explanation? You shouldn’t even say this jokingly, even if your girlfriend is stick thin. Just as you don’t want to hear anything about your “size”, women don’t want to hear about their weight.
My ex always/never/used to… If your ex is still on your mind so much that you need to constantly bring her up, then why are you dating us? Relationships are difficult enough without the ghost of your ex floating around. Either get back with her or shut up.
You remind me of my mother. Do not compare your mother to your girlfriend unless you’ve made it clear that you absolutely adore your mother and think the world of her.
Did we have plans? Oh no you didn’t! If we’ve made plans to get together, we’ve been looking forward to it all day. We’ve been thinking about how to dress and how to do our hair. Don’t rain on our parade by being dumb enough to forget or there will be hell to pay.
Keep in touch/Call me. What the heck is that supposed to mean? That you don’t plan on ever calling us again? That you want us to call you next time? That you’re unsure how we feel about you and you want to see if we’ll call? There’s too much room for misinterpretation here, so just don’t use either of these ambiguous expressions. Your job is to call, our job is to wear the high heels.
Here is a bonus one:
How old are you? – If the woman appears to be anywhere near 30, do not ask her age. If you really must know, you can make an educated guess from other information she gives you, such as when she graduated from college. If however, she appears to be under 20, you absolutely must ask, so as to make sure she is of legal age!
REMEMBER: Love inspires, empowers, uplifts and enlightens.

Black Singles Dating Sites
Black singles and the African American experience is truly unique. A culture rich in family ties, faith, and community, many black Americans feel that their own true soul mate must also be black. However, as young people put off marriage in favor of careers and education, and as our lives become busier with each passing day, black singles are finding that it's not as easy as it should be to make meaningful connections with each other. Often, when we feel truly ready to settle down, that special someone is no where to be found.
Fortunately, there are dozens of Internet sites dedicated to helping black singles find fabulous matches for friendship, dating and love. Whether you're new to your city, too busy to date, or just not having any luck finding that special someone, the Web can guide you toward a more satisfying social life and maybe even introduce you to your future spouse.
Here are just a few of the many web sites tailored to black singles: SoulSingles, BlackPeopleMeet, BlackSinglesConnection, BlackMatch and AfroIntroductions. Each of these sites let members create and post their own personal profiles including photos, browse other members' profiles, and communicate using email, Instant Messenger, and in some cases video messaging. Because your matches are based on the information you provide, you'll be introduced to other black singles who share your interests, professional goals, family backgrounds, and faith. They'll also live right in your own home town, so long-distance relationships need not be a concern.
If online dating intrigues you but you want more of a personal touch, ExecutiveAfrican- AmericanDating may be the answer for you. This upscale service starts with a personalized interview with your own dating counselor, who remains assigned to you throughout your entire membership. He or she works to find the best possible matches for you within your own geographical location. Members of the service are well- educated professionals who are established in their careers, looking for life-long commitments and deep, meaningful relationships.
For black singles who are attracted to people of other ethnic and cultural backgrounds, web sites such as InterracialDatingCentral and InterracialMatch will offer you profiles of single men and women who more closely match your interests. As with other dating sites, post a profile and contact members who catch your eye. Are you looking for a casual date, or a serious relationship? A pen pal or a friend? Here you'll find dozens of potential matches who are looking for the exact same thing.
In love, we all must rely a little bit on faith, luck and timing. But we don't need to be completely passive, waiting for Cupid to knock on our door. The Web has opened up a wide range of possibilities for dating, love and romance, and black singles are reaping the benefits. So go ahead, discover the possibilities on one of these black dating sites. Since most of them will let you post a profile for free, you've really got nothing to lose.

10 Tips For Safe Online Dating
Meeting someone you have been chatting online for the first time can be exciting and scary. Be sure to read the following tips to lower your anxiety before the big date.
1. Arrange to meet him.
When meeting for the first time, never allow your date to pick you up from your home. In fact, your date shouldn't even know your home address yet!
2. Meet in public places.
For a first meeting, always meet in a public place where other people are in close proximity. You may also want to consider going out with a group of people, or a double date.
3. Go dutch by paying half of the bill.
It's always respectful for the man to offer to pay the bill. Unfortunately, some men ruin the gesture by expecting something in return. Therefore it may not be a bad idea for you to go dutch. Pay half the bill so that you won't feel under any obligation to "return" the favor.
4. Remember that alcohol affects your judgment.
The biggest threat to a person's judgment, when on a date, is alcohol. Not only does it affect your judgment, but alcohol also lessens your inhibitions. If you are drinking, keep your drink in sight at all times and don’t get so drunk that you don’t know what you are doing. Better yet, try to avoid alcohol on your first date.
5. Use your own mode of transportation.
Provide your own transportation to your public meeting place and make sure you have more than enough gas.
6. Don't assume that a man is safe.
It's important never to let your guard down when on a first date. Never assume a man is safe just because he claims to be religious or a gentleman.
7. Don’t let him know where you live.
If you want to see him again, arrange a second date and then take it from there.
8. Avoid secluded areas.
Remember - stay in a public place for your first date and avoid secluded areas such as parks.
9. Listen to your gut.
If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. And if you haven’t met him before, and you know at the beginning of the date that something doesn’t feel right, then leave immediately.
10. Always let someone else know where you're going. Be sure someone knows where you are going and who you'll be with. You might even consider arranging a time to call and check in. Or you could arrange to meet up with friends later that night.
