		<description><![CDATA[For some men and women, the concept of the "date" has become muddled somewhere between technology, best intentions and charm. What then, exactly, is a "date?"  In a recent radio interview I did (which will air in January) with Gloria McDonald, founder  of Perfect Partners, we discussed the fact that it is a mistake to identify the first meeting with someone whom you have met online as a "date."  In fact, to reduce the risk of disappointment and minimize frustrations, it is better to describe these interactions as "meetings" because you are truly only meeting the prospect for the first time.  That said, then, are there other "meetups" that do not qualify as a date?  Let's dive deeper]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First off, most men and women will say that they want a partner who is honest.  In fact, when my clients are creating lists of values they hold as important for themselves and others, honesty ranks in the top five of "must-have's."  In digging deeper, we typically discuss what honesty looks like to <em>them</em>.  Yes, while it seems obvious that honesty is not up for discussion or debate, there are certain situations we discuss in which it might not be necessary or appropriate to tell the absolute truth. How many lovers have you had in the past?  When it comes to kiss and tell, discussing your past is not necessary.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a client, let's call her Jane, who met a man online a few weeks ago.  He had been out of the country since they first "met" online so she had been communicating with him via text and email.  During the course of these emails she began to connect with him (let's call him Brad) because they share similar interests and appear to have the same values.  As can be expected, Jane began to really "fall" for Brad, and I thus encouraged her to pull back and wait until he returned to Los Angeles to continue communicating with Brad at length. She didn't want to engage in a pattern she has which is to begin to see a man as "the one," before he has even come close to being a candidate for that title.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Should you ignore your ex on Facebook? As is the case with all exes, you must first determine whether or not both parties no longer have feelings for one another. Perhaps you are over John, but if John has not let go of the possibility that one day you will return his undying love, it is best that John not be your Facebook friend.  If he is an avid Facebook fan, it will not help is ability to move on when he sees the mobile upload you posted from the date enjoyed at the farmer's market with your latest boyfriend. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went on no less than 100 Internet dates between January 2004 and February, 2009.  I met my first post-divorce boyfriend on Craig’s List, experimented with Jdate, Match.com, Nerve.com, Plentyoffish.com., Elitemeeting.com, and more.  I went on coffee dates, dinner dates, drink dates, hiking dates and dates that lasted less than 15 minutes.  I even traveled to New York city to meet someone who, for the 10 day prior to our face-to-face meeting, I truly thought was my soul mate.

Think Like a Man, ”  the book I have been reading while sitting on the sandy beach of Twain Harte Lake.  In between swims to the huge rock on the other side of the lake, “rating” each other’s dives, and preparing meals for this clan each day, I have made time to relax.  Read.  And contemplate whether or not Steve Harvey’s point of view coincides with mine, and with the dating process I teach to women who attend the Dating With Dignity seminars and workshops I hold.  And, most importantly, with what I have been observing this week, noticing if, in fact, Steve’s descriptions of men in love match the words and actions of the two men who sleep each night here with us in this cabin in the woods.]]></description>
