It may be true that first impressions are largely determined by outward appearances, but how is it that the average-looking girl is voted homecoming queen, while the class beauty is passed over?  What makes everyone want to be near her? She has a magnetism that attracts people; she’s memorable. When navigating the dating scene, being remembered is key to getting a second look and keeping someone’s attention.

To be memorable, you have to be authentic. There’s nothing memorable about a person who is just like everyone else. If others find you so comfortable to be around that they want to know you better, your relationships will be more plentiful and life will be more interesting. Your career may benefit when you put an emphasis on being more memorable and are willing to go against the mainstream.

So you’re feeling more than a little bit attracted, physically and emotionally, to the great looking guy you’ve been dating, even wondering if you could be in love. But do you really know him? When it has been estimated that over one-third of men in the dating scene, whether online or not, are married, it’s an important question to have answered. How can you be sure he’s not married, without paying for a background check? There are signs and hints that can help you learn the truth.

The thrill of opening an email from someone who has found you through a social media or online dating site can be the highlight of your day. Having a virtual stranger find you attractive or interesting can be a real ego boost. But this moment of exhilaration is far from the reality of your desire to establish a serious, long-term relationship, and the exchange will go nowhere if you don’t take action. To reach your goal, you need to know how to make the transition from online exchanges to an in-person date.

Staying active on the dating or social media site is probably the most important factor when trying to hook up for more than a one-night-stand. Anyone looking for a serious relationship will log in regularly and answer their emails. One of the biggest complaints from online daters is a delayed or, even worse, a lack of response from the people they try to connect with. Responding to an email a week or more after the initial contact sends the message that you’re not that serious about finding a partner or that you’re only interested in fun and games.
