Sex and the City off to Abu Dhabi
Alright, you may or may not be willing to admit this, but you loved the first Sex and the City movie, and are now eagerly anticipating the sequel which is set to be released on May 27, 2010. To view an enticingly teasing trailer: http://www.sexandthecitymovie.com/. It follows your four favorite NYC Singles – Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte make a getaway to Abu Dhabi where camels, cocktails and an old crushes collide.
Does your single life emulate any of the characters in the series/movie? Each of the characters has their own style and flair, but they share one thing in common. They’re single and lonely. It’s tempting to try to fit yourself in their shoes, if you can afford them. Remember that Hollywood is paid to make it look good. If you are part of a growing population that would rather take dating advice from movies, consider, that in doing so, you are preventing yourself from meeting your soul-mate because you chose to glam up and head to the opening of a hot new nightclub instead of your best friend’s barbecue. If you’re not sure how to get started on your real life romance, here are some suggestions:
- Travel to your Hometown: Instead of flying to jet set locations in hopes of meeting a shallow fling, head home to where the heart is. Low key vacations gives you a chance to meet new people in your native city and are more likely to spark long term, meaningful romance
- Nerds are a girl’s best friend: Not all men are created equal. Braniacs offer more stability in a relationship versus multiple one night stands w hot guys, so set your bar higher and search for the intellectuals in your crowd.
- Take a Class: Believe it or not, simply taking a class on your latest passion offers you a wider dating selection than even online dating. Here, you put yourself into a scene where you are surrounded by people that share your interest. Striking up a conversation could lead to coffee, lunch, or a full blown relationship. For more information on connecting in class, read my article, How to Connect in Continuing Education.
Life can often be troubling and full of unimaginable challenges, but you can work through them, one step at a time. Consider your options within your own life before taking tips from the movies alone for they are usually filled with embellishing traits to make it a better movie.

Connecting in Class
If you’re looking for a new, organic way to meet someone, you may be wondering where to begin. Some people will say online dating is the answer but in reality, it’s been around for more than 10 years. We think the best way to find love is to love yourself by enjoying the things you like to do or learning something new. Many relationships have started when two people engage in an activity, class or hobby. One thing is for certain, you’ll start off with something in common. Check out my article: How to Connect in Continuing Education Class and see if maybe it’s time for YOU to go back to school.

Rekindlers: The New Trend
Imagine breaking up with the love of your life and 10-15 years later, he leaves you an email or voicemail to say, “hello.” How would it make you feel? Bitter or hopeful?
It seems that rekindling with an old flame is becoming the new dating trend. TV Land has a new reality show called, First Love, Second Chance?, a show dedicated to reuniting former lovers. Before the TV Land original series aired, I wrote an article about people going back to their old high school sweethearts and long lost lovers called Rekindlers: Making Connections after Years Apart. The article provides advice on whether the old lover should be a courtship revival, or extinguished for good. The article was originally written for Single Edition but also appears on Blogher, YourTango, Divine Caroline and More.
Is Your Mate Too Immature?

Will Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian make it? With Kim being the sophisticated business woman/celebrity and Reggie being a Pro Footballer with a Super Bowl ring you would think they were a lock- but it seems that Reggie is still just a big kid at heart according to a recent PopEater post. They recently went on a Costa Rica vacation to ‘decide’ whether to work at their love life or end it altogether. They’ve chosen the break up, at least for now.
Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who is more immature than you? For instance, you’re a successful business person who is used to being in charge while your significant other prefers to simply take it easy, hang with friends, and not care about responsibilities or bills with the same passion as you do. Does this sound harmonious or do you wish that they would take some initiative? If you’re with someone who needs a push, here are some great tips to get you on your way to a better bond:
- Dating: Even though you’ve committed to a serious relationship it’s important to physically plan time each week to spend together. Make sure that you both take turns on date night ideas so that each of you gets the most out of your time together.
- Communication: Plan a time where you can spend at least an hour or two together writing up a list of what you want to talk about. Then, one by one, talk…and listen! You may discover that your mate’s lack of maturity has more to do with complacency or even boredom. Make sure that you both are part of the decision making process.
- Compromise: If both of you have agreed to commit to a relationship overhaul, then you must be willing to bend a little on personal choices like where his favorite chair gets to sit and how much more of that closet you actually need.
A relationship works both ways. You give and you get. If you’re doing all the giving and getting nothing in return, it may be time to re-evaluate your current status. If there’s room to grow, start with communicating your issues and listening to theirs. If Kim and Reggie take this type of approach, they might be surprised at how much better their relationship could be. Good Luck!

Meeting Singles in Church
Nowadays, there are more ways than nightclubs and the Internet to meet that special someone. For Christian going singles, maybe chuch is the answer. When I was single living in NYC, I started going to church regularly. I must admit that I was surprised at the multitude of single men sitting in the pews. Of course, church is intended for worshiping first and foremost but when you’re spirtually and emotionally connected it may lead to an affair of the heart. For those church going singles, here’s my latest article for SingleEdition.com, Comeback – Meeting Singles in Church. This article also appeared on AOL Personals, Blogher, YourTango, DivineCaroline, and More.com.
