Julie's 15 Dating Tips On Creating And Maintaining Love Connections

1. Visualize and "act as if" each person you meet really "gets you" - in other words, really understands you.

2. Make a decision to make each person you meet feel really comfortable. This will alleviate any nervousness you’re feeling. Think of yourself as a gracious, charming host/hostess wherever you are.

3. For the next 30 days concentrate on really liking the opposite sex - thinking of each one as a safe ally.

4. Become your own best cheerleader and your own best friend - this will aid you towards "flourishing" in a relationship, not "needing" a relationship.

5. Always speak well of your family and friends-conversely avoid a partner who speaks poorly of their friends and family.

6. The most exciting person to be around is the person who is excited about their life-be positive and optimistic about your life.

7. Look for commonalities, not differences-if we all knew what our "type" was, we wouldn’t be alone. Look for similarities, enjoy contrasts and be more open-minded.

8. Never give up all your friends and outside interests for your partner. It’s important to keep the multidimensional features that made you attractive initially.

9. Treat your partner with kindness and respect. Never take each other for granted - be best friends.

10. Develop and demonstrate a real interest and support for your partner’s career, friends & family.

11. Your partner need not know everything about you . Keep a little mystique.

12. Get in the habit of always putting your partner in the very best light- give them the benefit of the doubt and concentrate on what works, not on what doesn’t work.

13. Minimize arguments and confrontations by avoiding the blaming word "you", as in "you made me late for work." Rather, use "building bridges" words as in "let’s figure out a new way to mange our morning schedules." Think and act as a team.

14. Avoid treating your partner like a child, no one wants another mother. They are not your project!

15. Laugh. Together. A lot.

HurryDate parties let you meet people face-to-face to see if there is chemistry!

Each party is held at fun, cool bars and is organized so you'll meet oodles of people on a string of real live mini-dates. When you check-in, your HurryDate hosts will give you a SCOREcard and ID number that HurryDaters will use to identify you, and you'll take a seat at one of many tables-for-two.


When it's time to begin, you'll talk to the person across from you until your host blows the whistle to indicate your date is over (no matter how cute they are!) That's your signal that it's time to move on to the next HurryDater for another whirlwind conversation. And on it goes! Get the picture?


After each date, you'll ever-so-discreetly circle a "yes" or "no" next to each person's ID number on your SCOREcard to indicate if you want to be in touch. At the end of the night, you'll take your SCOREcard home to enter who you liked into the handy-dandy, super-secret online system. HurryDate will then match you up with who is interested in you too! From there, it's up to you to get in touch through the secure email system to set up a real date!


Think you won't remember who was who after meeting all those people in one night? You thought right! Don't worry...everyone fills out a profile with a photo to help refresh your memory on those you matched with.


Sound crazy? It is! But that's why it's so much fun! RSVP for the next party in your city now and see what this HurryDate madness is all about. Click here to find a party in your city today!
