Feeling a little down on love? Need a little pick me up? If the picture of the lions cuddling didn’t do it for you, there’s plenty more sweet animals and love quotations where this one came from.
“To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.”
Dating on the Internet, or ‘online dating’ as those crazy kids call it, has gotten a lot of bad press over the years, mostly because people fear that the Internet is mainly populated by axe wielding psychopaths who will drug you and lop the top of your skull off and eat your brain whilst you watch them.
While that is a real danger (and anyone dating online should definitely wear a safety helmet at all times for this very reason), there are greater dangers out there. The greatest danger of all however, is one that you will almost never see listed anywhere, but nevertheless affects a very large portion of the Internet dating community.
Have a look at how Amy Winehouse and Blake Civil Fielder were going before Blake was sent to jail for witness tampering…
And for those of you who can’t be tossed clicking through, I respect that, so here’s a quick run down. Amy and Blake used to beat the living hell out of one another in drug fueled rages. Now that Blake’s in jail, things are a little better. Amy is winning awards, and Blake is trading signed pictures of her for drugs, which he accidentally overdosed on.
Still feeling bad about being single?
Look At His Friends
Do you hate his friends?
Are they womanizing asshats?
Do they have a different girl every day?
Is her name always Candy?
Do they expect you to get beer for them when the game is on?
Do they make you uncomfortable with requests for unprotected intimate group activities such as networking with the firewall off?
Having idiotic woman hating friends alone doesn’t make him a player, but it does make him a poor judge of character. It’s also a sign that your character judgment skills might be in need of a brush up too.
Remember that love can make us blind, so whilst you might think he is a perfect angel, in reality he is probably just like his jerk friends. Friendships are formed out of the bonds of common interests and shared values, so beware the man whose friends put the ezy in sleazy.
Remember, eagles do not rut in the dirt with pigs.

It’s hard being single sometimes. There are all those love sick couples draped all over one another like limpets, every second song on the radio is about love, and even the cat is getting more action than you are. In spite of the fact that the universe is clearly conspiring against you and intends to keep you alone forever, there are some things you can do to make yourself feel better.
Here’s how to feel better!
So you’re single. In between loves. Taking some you time. That’s great, and it’s commendable too. But sometimes, being on one’s own can be a very lonely experience. Sometimes you need to find things to do to get you out of your shell when you’re feeling down. When you’re in a relationship you can simply start a fight with your significant other about crumbs in the toaster in order to feel a sense of connection, but being single means that you have to go out of your way to find that frisson of tension that typifies human relationships. Here are a few excellent suggestions (if I do say so myself) for spicing up your life.
As a girl, I remember reading stories about women in third world countries who would give birth to their children, wrap them up in cotton swathes, strap them on their backs, or fronts, and go out into the fields to continue working the very same day.
At the time I was awed and shocked at the hardship that these brave and forever unknown women went through. Their strength inspired me, and the lack of compassion and support from the society that surrounded them stunned me.
Those women were prime examples of both the heights of feminine strength, and the lows of the human condition - that is, until I heard about Nicole Richie.

An excerpt from the article: “Annoying newbies are disoriented and confused, but insist on making this everyone else’s problem. They ask the same question over and over, becoming more insistent until at last all their posts are written with the caps lock on.”

This one goes out to my fellow gamer girls out there. Boyfriends are okay, and they certainly have some additional hardware features that are quite pleasing, but when it comes down to it, a DS Lite has a few advantages over your average boyfriend.
