<p><span style="font-size: medium;">As the UK’s leading Dating Guru I often get asked which is the best Online Dating site.  The trouble is that now that online <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">dating</a> has become so popular that you really are spoilt for choice. So which is the right site for you? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">There are lots of free sites out there but you’ll find the quality is terrible – it’s definitely worth making the investment as you really do get what you pay for.  A paid site will get you better with many and varied features like chat, IM and even matching using profiles.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">There are niche special interest sites for almost any thing you can think of&#8230;vegetarians, fitness freaks, religious, asian, gay, nudists …almost anything you can think of!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Here are some things you should consider:</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Cost. 	How much do you want or how much can you spend each month for your 	membership?  Do they offer a guarantee if you don’t meet someone 	and how easy is it to get this?</span></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Features. 	Which features are the most important to you? </span>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Personality 		Profile matching systems. This is a new feature that an increasing 		number of sites seems to be using. Is this a feature you really 		want or would you rather decide who is right for you all by 		yourself?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Chat 		and IM’s? There are websites who offer chat rooms and Instant 		messaging on their sites. Does that matter or would you be happy 		just sticking to private email. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Special 		Events…such as <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">speed dating</a> and singles parties. They can be a 		great way to meet members face to face.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Privacy. 		Some websites allow you to limit who can view your picture or your 		profile. Does this matter to you or do you want as wide exposure as 		you can possibly have? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Safety. 		There are websites who do background checks of all subscribers and 		certify their age, marital status and background. Would you feel 		safer using this feature? </span></li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you’d like any help with your <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">dating</a> then get in touch now. My website also has my reviews of the very sites. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Happy <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">dating</a>!</span></p>

<p>The pressures of modern living are often to blame, but after the stresses and strains of everyday life the need to go home to a loving and calming partner become even more apparent. They say that divorce rates are so high now because stress causes relationships to break down. But it also thought that most of this stress is caused in the work place, so why do people let their personal lives suffer as a result?</p>
<p>Do you think you may be one of the thousands of singles out their struggling to find and commit to a relationship because stress is standing in their way. <a class="zem_slink" title="Coaching" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaching">Life Coaching</a> may not be an obvious relationship builder but it has proved very effective. Life coaches can help an individual identify what it is that they want from a relationship. Everyone has a different idea as to the perfect relationship so it is important to find your individual ideal. The coach can then help you understand why you are not in the relationship you want. They will then help you come up with strategies to help you find your perfect relationship.</p>
<p>A life coach can also help you understand why previous relationships have broken down. We hear all the time that people are attracted to the wrong people so a coach will help you understand why. They will then work with you to help you get out of this mind set to enable you to move forward. You can find out more about life coaching at <a href="http://www.lifecoach-directory.org.uk">Life Coach Directory</a>. You can also find your local life coach by searching the whole of the UK by postcode, town or county.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re interested here at Yogo to find out your experiences with relationship coaches &#8211; whether they helped you to find someone, either directly or just made you feel better about yourself and if this helped you meet new people</p>
<p>Also watch this space for more about <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">dating</a> advice from one of the UK&#8217;s top relationship coaches&#8230;!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00206/8D0I0425_206748s.jpg"><img class="alignright" title="Speed dating participants" src="http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00206/8D0I0425_206748s.jpg" alt="" width="353" height="253" /></a>They were being flown from Belfast to East Midlands Airport and being treated to a day out    in Nottingham with a difference to mark the opening of bmibaby&#8217;s new route.</p>
<p>As soon as the fasten seatbelt sign was turned off the <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">speed dating</a> began, with the boys gingerly moving around the plane while the girls had to make do with orange juices rather than a calming glass of wine. The daters were provided with a list of    potential questions to help break the ice, including</p>
<ul>
<li> What do you do for fun?</li>
<li>How would you spend your millions if you won the    lottery?</li>
<li> If you were an animal in the wild what would you    be?</li>
</ul>
<p>Everyone seemed to have a good time at their first <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">speed dating</a> event, with Jennifer Millar (19), a student from Lisburn, saying, “I was nervous as we got    started. I hate awkwardness so those questions were a good ice-breaker. It    was much better craic than I had expected and I’d consider doing it again. Speed <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">dating</a> has a much more negative reputation than it should do. This has    been really good fun as well as being safe.”</p>
<p>Mark O&#8217;Gormley (23), a sports student from Belfast, said: “I had no notions of    what <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">speed dating</a> would be like at all so I really didn&#8217;t have any idea what    to expect. I&#8217;ve been single for a year and a bit and normally I meet girls    through my friends. This was great though, I ticked two people and I would    really be interested in seeing them again if they match with me.</p>
<p>“Speed <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">dating</a> has a really negative image and I don&#8217;t know why. I would    definitely try it again, this has been a fantastic day,”</p>

<li>Don’t take it too seriously! You’re there to have fun. When you’re having fun, you’re much more interesting, approachable and attractive than when you’re stressed out.</li>
<li>Grab a drink as you arrive; but not more than one. You want to be relaxed, not tipsy. The women there  have paid money and given up their time to meet real you; not inebriated you.<img class="alignright" src="http://www.yogodating.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/shootdating.png" alt="" width="273" height="205" /></li>
<li>Arrive a little early to give yourself some time to warm up before the main action starts. Pick a woman that you think you are likely to be able to chat to without finding her intimidating, and initiate a conversation with her with the aim of simply making her laugh. All the women at <a href="http://www.yogodating.com">speed dating</a> are there specifically to <em>meet guys</em> so you are guaranteed of a positive reception. The purpose of this conversation is to get your social juices flowing, let any initial nervousness subside, and experience feeling good about meeting women.<br />
If you feel intimidated by the hottest girl in the room’s looks, warm up with the less appealing prospects instead and get in a good mood so you can be your relaxed, friendly, approachable self when you rotate to the hot girl during the business part of the evening.</li>
<li>Joke around about it. Let’s face it: Speed Dating is an artificial construct. You don’t normally meet people in such a structured environment. There isn’t usually a guy with a bell walking around telling you that your time is up. I made jokes about the previous guy (who always seemed to take too long when told to move), the woman’s profession, the notes I was taking, and the whole situation we were in.</li>
<li>Aim to make the girls laugh. Women love guys with a sense of 	humor. They love guys who 	can <em>make them laugh</em>. Go in with the intention that you’ve got 5 minutes to make her laugh. This takes the stress off you trying to impress her with your great job, big bank account and wonderful personality; all of which may or may not actually be the assets that stack up in her eyes anyway.</li>
<li>Have a couple of fun, interesting questions up your sleeve. I went with asking which Flintstones character they thought would make the best partner (Fred or Barney), and which wife they related to most strongly (Wilma or Betty). Then I got into a discussion about their characters: Fred the workaholic, Barney the easy-going cool guy, Wilma the dominant woman, Betty the sweet naive girl.<br />
The women who went along with the question seemed like fun people to get to know better; the one who declined to answer even after I teased her about it wasn’t so appealing to me. You can ask just about anything interesting and off-the-wall; it’s not the answer they give, but the way they respond that gives you insights into them. Are they fun and spontaneous, or judgemental and fearful of anything that’s a bit out-there?</p>

<li>Don’t ask what they do for a living. Snap judgements based on a person’s stereotyped career aren’t helpful in actually getting to know someone; and when you have such limited time, all you can really do is get a sense of whether this is someone you’d enjoy hanging out with or not. Knowing that they’re an accountant or lawyer doesn’t help. When they told me what they did anyway, I generally teased them about it and changed the subject. “Hey, you don’t need to be ashamed about working for a bank you know! Really.” Smirk. Who wants to talk about work on a weekend anyway? At the end of one conversation which we both laughed the whole way through, the girl said “Hang on… I still don’t know what you do!!!”. Perfect. A little mystique never goes astray.</li>
<li>Worry about who you want to contact later. Stay relaxed, take notes as you go around so you don’t forget who is who, and fill in the contact card later. Of course taking notes about people is unnatural, so that’s just another thing to joke about. “Right, I’m writing down ‘Stalker. No sense of humor’” got them laughing every time.</li>
<li>Pre-arrange to meet up with an existing female friend for drinks later the same evening. Knowing that you have other options makes you more appealing, and subconsciously takes the pressure off you to “hook up”.</li>
<li>Why does there always have to be a 10? No one ever said this was the &#8216;top 10 tips&#8217;?!</li>

<p>A <a href="http://www.contiki.co.uk" target="_blank">Contiki Holidays</a> investigation into finding love in Europe reveals the Italian Stallion is a thing of the past. People from the UK, Spain, Germany, Italy and France were surveyed to find out how we all compare when it comes to love and the results may come as a surprise.</p>
<p><a href="www.contiki.co.uk"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.yogodating.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Contiki1.jpg" alt="" width="245" height="368" /></a></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-524" title="Contiki1" src="http://www.yogodating.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Contiki1-199x300.jpg" alt="" />It seems Italian men are no longer the bold Stallions we once knew with the majority now relying on guess work when it come to forging a relationship. Just under half of the all Italian men polled said they’re actually too shy to tell a girl how they feel and just hope they would guess.</p>
<p>British men on the other hand have no hang ups on bulldozing straight in and telling the female of the species exactly how they feel, whereas three in five German men said they would try and make eye contact and offer a cheeky wink to win over the ladies. And we thought it was the Portugese winkers that were our competition!</p>
<p>Whichever way European men choose to secure their date it seems love will transcend any language barrier with 67% of all respondents saying that a it wouldn’t put them off starting a relationship with someone.  One in four German men even admitted to learning chat up phrases in other languages to help their cause.</p>
<p>All nations seem to get back to their roots when it comes to the first date with over half of all British men treating their dates to a pint in the pub.  The French and Spanish show their love of food with half of both nations opting for a restaurant as their perfect setting. Once the Italian men are brave enough to ask a girl on a date they start to show their romantic side by taking them on a picturesque walk. They were also the most gentlemanly with 90% saying they’d pay the bill in a restaurant. Brits came a close second with just over half of men saying it was their duty to cover the bill on the first date. French men believe in equal rights and said men and women should pay 50/50 while the Spanish disagreed with the majority thinking it’s only fair that the inviting party pay up!</p>
<p><a href="www.contiki.co.uk"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.yogodating.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Contiki2.jpg" alt="" width="368" height="246" /></a>Once the first date is over European men join forces in agreement when they say they would expect more than just a goodnight kiss but there may be some disappointed faces, as the majority of women across Europe are in agreement too &#8211; they will just say no!</p>
<p>Will you be heading abroad to experience <a href="http://contiki.co.uk/trip_finder/europe" target="_blank">Europe</a> this spring and possibly find love?</p>
