Above all, remember that you will get back what you give. If you approach the world with anger and aggression, if you seek to manipulate and use people, you won't get far. Approach the world with a kind, open, and loving heart without expecting or demanding such things in return, and people will naturally gravitate toward you.

Finally, consider your own behavior. Ask not what a new friend has to offer you, but what you have to offer a new friend. What do you imagine your new friend is looking for? People are different of course, but most want a friend who will listen attentively. And no one wants a friend who is miserable, negative, and pessimistic. Focus on the positive; if you spend the time talking about cancer, old age, and the climate crisis, don't be surprised if people do not want to see you again. Everyone knows about these horrible things, and they don't wish to be reminded during a dinner party. Instead, make an effort to talk about cheerful, happy things. And take an interest in as wide a range of subjects as possible. Nothing will seal a friendship quite like a mutual passion.

Then maybe invite them for a drink afterwards (alcohol or cup of coffee helps people relax). It can also be useful to talk about intimate things. You must be careful here. Don't rush your new friend and make them uncomfortable. When people first meet, they usually spend time figuring each other out. Don't go bursting into tears over a glass of wine and start telling them how lonely you have been since your wife left you. Do try steering the conversation toward deep, meaningful, and personal subjects whenever you can. Rather than asking them about their love-life, their career, or their children, begin by telling them about yours. Admit your vulnerabilities, failures, and fears, but do so in a light-hearted, jokey manner. Remember, you are testing the water. You may find this prompts them to open up about their own life. Once you reach this intimate stage, you must then invest time. As with any kind of relationship, time is the key.

The next stage is trickier. How do you turn an acquaintance into a friend? Anyone can join an evening class, make more effort with work colleagues, or nod and smile at a neighbor. But moving to a close friendship requires courage, daring, and self-belief. The key is to take the initiative and be prepared for rejection. If you are going to progress to friendship, you must spend time together in a setting in which intimacy can develop. Find out their passions. Perhaps they love art or the theater, or maybe they are a sports fan. If you share an interest in such things, try inviting them to a play or a game. Don't be over-eager, but do be honest. Try saying "oh, I'm a bit of an art lover myself, but I don't know many people who share my interest. Maybe we could go to the new Rembrandt exhibition? It would be nice to go with someone for a change -- art has always been a solitary interest for me."

Making friends during your teens and early twenties is relatively easy. At school or college, most people you meet are single, childless, and eager to make new friends, but as you age things change: people are busy with their careers, family and aging parents which leave people with little time. They seem to have made their lifelong friends, and of course many now have partners and children. Everyone needs love and support, especially during moments of crisis and pain, such as divorce or the death of a parent. It is often at such moments that people realize how few deep, loving relationships they have.

So how do you meet new people when you are no longer a college student or a 20-something in the first stages of your career? First, there is what might be called the "acquaintance stage," meaning initial contact. This is relatively easy. Anyone can join a sports club or take up golf in order to meet new people. But choose carefully. As anyone who has struggled through an unhappy marriage knows, spending time with the wrong person can make you feel much, much worse. Consider what you want. If you are by nature a sensitive, introverted sort and reeling from a divorce or the loss of a parent, you are unlikely to meet the kinds of people who suit you at a boxing or football club.

you may be like that but that's no guarantee every guy is the same. No person is the same as another, regardless of gender. Hell, even identical twins arent always alike. FYI, I find eyes an important physical feature, and I may not be after marriage yet, but i have a mind that plans the future rather than living in the moment, which works for me. So Id be more certain of my choices of marriage or family that most guys my age. I dont want either right now but i plan on wanting it after age 25-26. Very few guys actually have the specifics down for that stuff. And ive also known women who werent partial to talking about marriage. The basis of anything social is that no one is the same. You see it as the way you wrote it. I see it differently. There are no doubt others who see it neither way, but their own. Keep looking and you find someone who is similar but rarely are they exactly like you.

in a tough position... I am a single dad with custody of my daughter. I love her with all of my heart and she's my world, but because of "first impressions" I am reluctant to mention anything right away about her. Probably more confused. I know a good profile is a honest profile, but I won't mention my daughter until the ice is broken. And just as you say; "The two things that can cause you to go from possible soul mate to the recycle bin in just one click are your weight and having children. It appears that American singles would even tolerate a smoker before taking on an instant family." sadly is a reality with some people. I would like some feedback on this, because my most PROUD quaulity is raising my 13yr old girl myself and done so for 11 years!!peace I am pretty young at 31, but I would never seek a replacement for her mother. I am confused as hell...frustrated Any feedback would be awesome!

I quite agree with the information in the article. Being a single woman who is raising a young granddaughter it is hard to even read a profile where a guy does not say no way or something just as harsh about kids.

I am not going to hide the position I am in because I feel like things will start on a false note. Honesty is very important in a relationship, so why hide my granddaughter. When I am put to the side because I have her I feel as though I don't need them either. It will take longer to finally meet someone, but with everything out in the open I don't have to be concerned that I will be canned for not disclosing my circumstances.

I disagree about the eye colour,I think a woman's eyes can be an attracting facial feature but as to her eye colours ..not important.This is really a non-issue anyway if you happen to live in regions where 99% of the people have brown eyes.laugh
But this is an American article written for Americans.

As for..A picture is worth a thousand words..I agree.However,from experience I've learned that pictures can be deceiving and even web cams can omit the details you really want for a complete and accurate view of the person.My position is..The eye will never Lie.wink So those thousand words that the proverbial picture can be worth can be efficiently reduced to 4 or 5 words in a personal meeting.As in.."She's what I want!".."She's not what I want"!Known within moments.So don't waste your time.Meet ASAP.Do you really want to spend weeks in communication to be disappointed in a minute of reality? I suggest,NO.laugh

"Don't knock it until you've tried it" is certainly the philosophy of those who have used online dating services. Most American singles believe that online dating involves privacy risks but 52% of those who have tried online dating believe that there is no dangerous activity involved at all. The majority of American singles report having good experiences with online dating.

What starts online doesn't necessarily stay online for very long. Most American singles will meet for a face-to-face date within a month after exchanging countless e-mail messages and at least ten telephone calls.

Nearly 7 million American singles have gone on dates with people they met through online dating sites and 17% of them have entered long term relationships or married their online dating partners after being introduced online.

It is a common belief that when it comes to love and online dating, men have a deep seated case of commitment phobia. However, research shows that single ladies are far more likely to be searching for a friendship type relationship and men say they are looking for a long term relationship. When it comes to marriage, 13% of men say they are looking for marriage and only 8% of single ladies are marriage minded.

Most online daters believe that using an online dating service helps to extend their social circle quite dramatically and an incredible 64% agree that online dating offers a much broader range of potential dates than traditional dating.

American singles chose the education level of potential dates to be of more importance than the individual's racial background. Only 9.4% of singles in America said they would decline a date based on the individual's level of education and 8.9% said that the person's skin color was any issue.

The best things in life are worth waiting for.. and 60% of American singles are willing to wait six months or more to find a compatible date using an online dating service

In the opinions of singles in America, age may not be just a number. After a photo, a self-descriptive paragraph, and the potential date's geographical location, age is an important consideration when choosing a potential date.

It is agreed among American singles involved in online dating that money doesn't buy love. In fact, income rated just a half of a percentage point above eye color in the list of deal breakers. Drinking, political views, and religious affiliations were also listed as things that could cause you to be rejected but they are almost irrelevant. The two things that can cause you to go from possible soul mate to the recycle bin in just one click are your weight and having children. It appears that American singles would even tolerate a smoker before taking on an instant family.

Pictures are worth a thousand words and a whole lot more when it comes to online dating. One third of American singles won't even respond to dating profiles that don't include a picture. Interestingly, only a very small percentage of online dating users concern themselves with hairstyle but 70% say that eyes are the sexiest facial feature

I suppose if you are not going in with eyes wide open, these are real issues... but... I have to say, being the upfront sort of woman that I am... the excessive use of the word Girl is a sure sign to women that men who use of the word girl are not going to be as respectful to women as you might wish. Not trying to be contrary just saying... girls are under the age of, what 12? Not the dating type. doh

Here's the generally "accepted" gender format:

girls - boys
gals - guys
women - men

Lots of peace and love to all of you
