On Rainy Days and the Umbrella
November 15, 2007 by Sasha Manuel
Filed under Relationships
It’s raining today and it got me thinking. Some people may see this weather as crappy since it can mean a bit of discomfort. Traffic may be bad, possible flood, hard to commute. But amidst all these bad things happening, it may do us good to look at the bright side. Perhaps it can be a great way to show concern to that special someone. Or find a way to get a bit physically close (flirting time!) with that person you like. Or even meet someone new who can be a potential romantic prospect.
How can all this be possible? Well, …read more
Thrill of the Chase

Hey, ladies!
I know how tempting it is to grab that opportunity to hook up with that man you’ve been eyeing but you have got to let him chase you. This somewhat equates to retaining some sort of mystery around you. I know it sounds so cliché and all but it how nature works. Men are born hunters.
A good tip on how to do this: give that guy one small look that resonates a “maybe”. Make that look give out a thousand of opportunities but holds back the true answer to the question, “do I like you?”. Men will answer to …read more

Here’s a somewhat different way of attracting and meeting women. Yea — this is a tip post — a simple hook up tip — for guys who happen to read Dating Dames. Teehee.
The Unmask Method
How does it go exactly?
Well, according to this article I came across, you and your mate should…
One, use an opener that’s untrusive and un-alarming. Something like, “Hi, do you mind if we sit with you at this table until our other friend gets here? She’s running late for some reason.” Of course, it should be in a venue that’s somehow packed and would give you …read more
The Art and Science of Hand-holding

How do we categorise hand-holding? Have you ever wondered why such an act can trigger all sorts of emotions within you? What message do you relay when you hold another person’s hand?
Wikipedia lists the reasons and purposes when two or more people engage in the act of hand-holding and I’d like to cite some of them:
Rituals
Expression of friendship or love
Enjoyment of physical contact
Emotional support
Physical guidance
Dancing
Arm wrestling
With that said, I’d like to focus on it being an act of expression of friendship and love.
Learn the 3 Flirting Basics

As previously mentioned, I’m no good when it comes to flirting. Too paranoid. Too dense. Too gullible. All at the wrong places [so to speak]. That’s why I’m here to educate you. [coughs] Before any of you react violently — haven’t you heard of the saying, “Those who can’t do, teach.”? Heehee.
Kidding aside, I know flirting is one of the fundamental things you do as a single looking for a mate. Uh, I don’t want to talk about the not-so-single individuals who still practice it seemingly like a sport. Dear me.
Getting on with the topic then.
It’s a common misconception that …read more
Let’s talk about our sensual side…
October 1, 2006 by Sasha Manuel

Just how comfortable are you when it comes to talking about your sensuality? Alright. Not talking but expressing non-verbally?
It can be considered a taboo in most cultures — it certainly is in mine! — particularly in women. We blush. We squirm. We simply don’t speak of it outside our closest friends’ confidences. It’s something most women are uncomfortable showing, much less talk about, with men.
But the thing is, the more comfortable you are in being sensual, the more sexy you become in the eyes of others. I’m not talking about blatant, vomit-worthy sexy. Rather, I’m referring to the complete freedom …read more
Dating: Gamer’s Style

You got it!
Straight from the mouth of a gamer. He educates other male gamers on just how to manouver themselves in the dating scene using illustrations that show how their “experiences from games relates to the romantic sphere”.
Who or what is a gamer anyway? Well, ever heard of these games? Online games?
World of Warcraft. Ragnarok Online. Guild Wars.
Sheesh.
These people do establish an online community much like how bloggers relate to other bloggers through their blogs but, of course, they have their characters, raids and guilds. However, here’s a really funny bit on where gamers stand when it comes …read more

gam‧bit /ˈgæmbɪt/ [gam-bit] n.
1. Chess. an opening in which a player seeks to obtain some advantage by sacrificing a pawn or piece.
2. any maneuver by which one seeks to gain an advantage.
3. a remark made to open or redirect a conversation.
[Dictionary.com]
For The Ladies. When approached, how important is the guy’s opening gambit to you?
For me, opening gambits set the tone on what kind of conversation I’d be engaging in with the guy so it’s somewhat important. Oftentimes, I can tell what his intentions are. Well, that and what his body language tells me.
For The Men. Just how much effort do you put into your …read more
The Girlfriend/Boyfriend Application

Filed under Relationships
My friend, Rico, posted a very important question, “How can you determine if she’s the one for you?” on his personal blog. I guess, for him, one way to find out if she is was to get her fill out The Girlfriend Application.
This was a suggestion made by Six Guns Blazing, who basically invites you to download and printout the application form and use them to your heart’s content. Saves you time and money, right? Instead of dating for several weeks to get enough info on the other person, you’ll achieve it with one go. Hmmm. Very efficient.
