2009 has been a challenging year so far. When times are tough like these, people need the love and support of others, and most don't want to be alone. For singles, this means not returning to an empty home at night with no one to talk to and no one who cares.
A matchmaking company, Great Date Now, one of the largest in the New York-Metropolitan area says they're arranging about 300 dates every week since the start of the new year that amounts to one date every 27 minutes. When you seek the help of a matchmaker to find a compatible partner, they are often asked to arrange the dates, hence the large volume of dates they make on a daily basis. These dates can be anything from drinks and appetizers, to reserving concert or theater tickets, finding scenic parks and nature preserves for romantic walks, and, in some cases, contacting a charity for the couple to volunteer together.
On a first date, don't put too much pressure on yourself believing that this person is the man or woman of your dreams. Taking this mindset will only dissapoint you. Rather, think of it as meeting a new friend who you'd like to share new experiences with. Don't worry if you don't feel an instant attraction on your first date, try to arrange another meeting, maybe even a third date. If nothing has transpired by then, and you don't feel a connection, then it may not be meant to be.
Dating is both an art and a science, meaning, there are certain tried and true rules that when followed, will most likely ensure success. Sometimes, all it takes is a little common sense to figure out what works and what doesnt so you don't repeat mistakes. For instance, if you've been married and divorced, dont talk about your ex on the first date and dont dwell on what went wrong in your marriage. Keep the conversation light and positive. People want to be with people who have a good outlook on life and little baggage.
Dating nowadays is much different than our grandparents time. Back then there weren't computers/email and women weren't part of the workforce as much as they are now. There are many more ways to meet people nowadays than just meeting someone through a friend or family.
Your concern may be whether your really know the person that you are dating. Joining a matchmaking service, like Great Date Now, you're matchmaker will carefully screen every client to ensure that their personal information is accurate and the person isn't attached or married... which is often the case with online dating.

Others it may take some serious time and soul searching to figure it out. But when you do find that right person... all the trials and errors seem to be worth it! - 15784
