Tips -- Online Dating for Women

I have a LOT of experience with online dating and below is one of my interesting stories and 10 tips that I would like to share with only you about online dating.

I once went on a date with a guy that I met online. We had dinner and a few drinks and got the bill. He paid which was nice. We then went to another restaurant up the street to get appetizers and drinks as we were having fun and it was still pretty early.

After what I thought was great conversation, the bill came. He then asked me if I wanted to go home with him. When I told him 'No,' he said, 'then you can pay the bill.'

Needless to say, that was a horrible date.  I have been on a lot of horrible dates, which is why I now have rules about online dating as I have learned from my mistakes.

You can find love online and with a few of my tips I hope to make it a little easier for you.

10 ONLINE DATING TIPS FOR WOMEN

1.  Never lie to yourself or compromise in what you want in someone.

2.  Get to know the person you are about to go on an online date with before you meet in person. You never know who you are meeting just from a computer screen.

3.  Don't show much skin as you want there to be a second date. Make sure whatever you wear is clean and doesn't have holes in it. Wear a black cocktail dress or a nice skirt and shirt combo or wear dress pants and a nice shirt.

4.  Be comfortable and try and remain calm. Do some breathing exercises and know that your date is just as nervous.

5.  Meet in a popular area and take your own transportation to and from the date. Suggest that they pick the activities.

6.  Don't talk about anything too deep. Try and keep the conversation light and try not to talk about yourself too often. You are on a date to meet a new person so try and find out about their personality.

7.  Let your date take charge and let them pay for your food. You deserve to be treated like a Queen.

8.  If you felt you had chemistry, send them a quick message online the next day or follow up with a text/phone call in a couple of days.

9.  If they do not call you back within a couple of days - they are not interested. Give up and don't call them or message them. If they wanted to get to know you, they would contact you.

10.  There are plenty of potential partners out there so don't be afraid to go on a different date every night of the week.

Quick Nail Polish Tricks and Info

Hey everyone!

I love to switch up my nail polish color to go with my different outfits quite regularly, but I find that my nails get yellow when I don't let my nails just breathe in the fresh air without polish  on them.

My toe nails do that too so I have bought this miracle polish by Witchcraft called "Nail Whitener" and I just put it on before I put on the colored nail polish and it seems to work really well. 

It strengthens my nails too which is a plus but you can also buy other products from Witchcraft that specifically strengthen you nails if you need it or their cuticle oil is really good too and it smells really good.

There is a really good article on this website too,  http://www.womanjunction.com/topic/nail/nail-whitening/ for how to keep your nails white and not stained after you use a dark color nail polish.

I think OPI nail polish is the absolute best if you use a base coat because it actually goes on the color you think it will by judging from the outside of the bottle.  There are tons of beautiful colors to choose from and they all have really unique names which make it fun.

Also the quality of their polish is so much better and it might be more expensive but you really do get what you pay for.  They are anywhere from 7.50-13 bucks each depending on where you go.

If you want to put on a couple coats of polish to make them extra pretty but you are too lazy to sit for hours to wait for them to dry like me, you can run them under cold water for a bit and they will certainly dry but don't touch them right away because they will smudge.

You can also run the hairdryer on them.. Or.. You can put 2 coats on before you go to bed and then put the top coat on in the morning so the other layers are already dry and ready for the top coat.

There is also a handy machine called "Nail Polish Dryer" and you just put batteries in it and put your hand in it and under the dryer and in a couple of minutes your nails will be dry.  Make sure you don't buy a cheap one because they will only blow out cold air and that won't work well.  They also sell mini fans and you just hold your hand in front of it.

If you have any nail polish tips or any other handy beauty secrets please do let me know by leaving a comment or sending me an email at lesliestar@leslistar.ca.

I would really appreciate it and I would like to share it with everyone :)
