“Samantha and I had a great date. We had a lot to talk about; there was never a dull moment in our conversation. We had lots in common and we hit it off right away! I definitely feel chemistry between us and I’m looking forward to our 2nd date!”-Mark, 40
“Mark is the exactly the type of guy I’m looking for. We had a good time; we spent almost 3 hours together. We have a lot of similarities and I also liked that we share similar values and beliefs. I loved that he volunteers at his church. He called me this afternoon and we are planning on dinner and a movie this weekend.”-Samantha, 38

For date night this weekend, you might be getting in the festive spirit and headed to the movie theatre to see a scary movie…Paranormal Activity 3, anyone?
According to this article posted in the Wall Street Journal, scary movies and how you react to them can help (or hinder) whether your date finds you attractive. A famous 1986 experiment from Indiana University psychologist Dolf Zillmann states in his “snuggle theory” that the more distressed the woman was by the movie, the more attractive her date found her. Of course, just the opposite was true for the men…the less distressed the man was, the more attractive his date found him.
Guys, whether you’re taking her to a movie at the theatre this weekend or spending a quiet evening at home watching Friday the 13th….make sure you show her your “tough” side! And ladies, this is a great opportunity to snuggle a little closer to your date!

This week, we learned that a Columbia University researcher created a mathematical formula calculating the exact trade-off between wealth and physical size that singles make in choosing their partner.
According to economist Pierre-Andre Chiappori, single men and women looking to get married rate each other’s eligibility by comparing two traits: physical and socioeconomic attractiveness. The findings? Attractive women don’t mind overweight men as long as they’re wealthy and women make up for extra weight with an extra year of education.
For every 10 percent increase in a man’s BMI, single men must increase their annual salary by 2 percent to keep at the same level of attractiveness. If a single woman gains weight, she can make up for it in being more educated.
For more of the research, you can view the article here.

If you're reading this blog, you're probably familiar with social media. Many of you have Facebook accounts, you tweet and you may even have your own blog. Years ago, the term you often heard about couples dating each other exclusively was "going steady". Now with social media, it's “Facebook official".
But when you have a breakup, instead of letting the news trickle through the gossip grapevine, social media outlets like Facebook make breaking up even more harder to do—and more public.
We hear from our clients the emotions of dating with Facebook, Twitter and other social media websites. That’s why we decided to share this article with you today on “Handling social media when your relationship implodes”.
