Happy 2010!
Is creating a great love relationship in your plans in 2010?
To SPICE Up Your Dating Life, I've Added a New
Baby Boomer Dating expert, recently featured on CBS Radio, KXTE's Morning Show "Ask the Expert" in Las Vegas as their Relationship Expert. Click here for more on>>> Media
Be sure to click here for the latest update from my Dating and Relationship blog >>> Dating Advise and Tips Blog <<< Most recent post include ways to celebrate Valentine's Day both creatively and on a tight budget.
We have just started the February 2010, celebrating Chinese New Year and the Year of the Tiger. Valentine's Day fast approaches next week. Do be sure to fill yours with love, romance, and intimacy.
Hope you and yours here in Southern California have survived with everything important intact after the rain storm/tornado weather we had last week. In the United States we are gearing up for watching Super Bowl 44 with the Colts and to the Saints. By the time the next issue of "Connecting" comes out, we will know who is the winning team.
With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I have been receiving a lot of emails and twitter @AprilBraswell Direct Messages asking for tips for ways to celebrate romantically, creatively as well as frugally. Certainly with the current state of the economy, many married couples are unemployed and have either small Valentine's Day budgets or literally zero dollars to spend. You can still lift your heart and your spirits and I wrote multiple articles covering an abundance of literally free romantic celebration tips and ideas just for you and all who requested it.
Back to The OC from Las Vegas where I presented two workshops covering Online Dating Success and a national singles conference. And now I am working on my forthcoming book covering Internet Dating. It will include both some great tactics as well as my overall strategy and approach to dating and online dating. When the title is fully agreed upon with the publisher, I'll let you all know.
Las Vegas Dating Coach April Braswell is enjoying cool Winter breezes of Orange County (aka The OC) by the lovely Pacific Ocean. It is actually cooling off into the 70s and less in Las Vegas, Southern California is much cooler and the air has more moisture for comfortable breathing! Can you believe it, we have just entered not only a New Year in 2010 but a New Decade? Time for Winter Dating, Love and Romance: Time to heat up your romantic life!
Here in the States here we are well into our Football season. Yes, professional Football games only have a few more games left, however there are still college and high school games - are also another great time to get together with your friends, socialize, mingle and be sure to get out to where you will be meeting more single men (and women if you're a single man!). Think tailgaters. Just if it's the high school game, leave the beerskis at home, ok? If you are like me, a die-hard Hockey Fan, you are starting to froth over at the mouth with NHL games.
Always providing a great collection of >>>Free Dating Articles<<< for your resources to jump start your dating and get your creativity moving.
Here in The OC, the beach and the board walk is a great place to go. You can go in the early evening and stroll and smile and nod at people passing the other way. Last Sunday I met more than 15 new people between my morning activities and afternoon public park walking. How about YOU? What did you do today to expand your social circle and meet more new singles?
Now that it is full-swing Winter 2010, be sure you are meeting and dating new people while you do that! Time to heat up your romantic life! Certainly go hang at a sports bar in your hood Friday night. I'll be cheering loudly along with you! Ladies, this is a FANTASTIC time and place to genuinely meet and connect with lovely single men. You have your safe dating singles' conversation starter: Baseball. "Who're you rooting for?" or "HOW many more weeks until Spring Training?" or in the final weeks of professional football, "Who are you rooting for in the Superbowl this year?" Go for it!

Yup, In response to the demand for more group interactive workshops and seminars, I have moved my business from San Francisco to Las Vegas to provide a fun and convenient location for them. After you sign up for my ezine, Connecting with April Braswell, watch the calendar section for future workshop and seminar dates for later in 2009 and 2010 just like the 12th Annual National JACL Singles Convention where I presented in September in Las Vegas! In the meantime, have fun and play safe!
Those of us who live in the Las Vegas area do note, when you keep your eyes and ears open, you can definitely get dates while you are out and about, and I'm talking about dates that lead to ongoing romantic relationships, not just those super fun, "What happens in Vegas, STAYS in Vegas!" sort of dates. There is all the fun of the Las Vegas Strip for singles, and there is plenty of singles dating opportunities Off Strip as well.
How is your romantic love life? And remember, studies show it is MARRIED people who have the most romantic sex. Not married yet? Be sure to head out and place yourself where you will MEET lots of new people - like a breakfast joint! Go ahead and take a look at the Online and Internet Dating Sites Resource Guide and get out there.
Have you already been reading my dating and relationships tips and advise blog and have some dates already lined up this weekend. No? No dates. Don't have any dates yet? Do you have any prospective dates in your dating pipeline? If not, read through my free dating articles on getting more dates. If you don't have any date lined up, that is perfectly ok. You can still fill up your weekend with activities where you will increase your chances to meet others and more singles like you. Get ready and be sure to get out there and have FUN!
Now when it is the weekend, if you DO have a date, LUCKY YOU! Congratulations. But what about how to behave on a great date, how to body flirt and be irresistibly attractive with the opposite sex. Well, be sure to check out my latest free dating articles about male and female body language for dates!
A number of single men and single women of all different ethnic groups approach me to be their dating coach, and after emailing and talking with me, they slowly reveal one of their deepest fears, "April, what is WRONG with me that I am not already matched up and mated?" They have watched all the TV shows and Hollywood movies where the early 30 somethings with perfect skin meet and become a couple 3.1 days.
In reality, being irresistibly attractive the opposite sex takes some effort - both externally and internally. We DO need to make efforts to look OUR best so work on our personal image. And we need to do some internal work.
STOP! WAIT! I can already feel all the men tensing up and wanting to exit the page rather than have to TALK to some stranger about these things. NO WORRIES!
Part of my uniqueness as a Dating Coach and Relationship Coach is that I really understand AND appreciate men as they are. I am NOT sending you to a therapist where you have to reveal your darkest secrets (eek!) to a complete stranger.
Our founder, April Braswell, is a leading expert Relationship Coach and Online Dating Coach, providing Easy Dating Tips and Relationship Coach services. Her work as a Romance Coach and Online Dating Coach started out with her own story of romantic love.
Ladies, most of us grew up with dreams of romantic love, a knight in shining armor, reading beautiful fairy tales with gallant heros. We dreamt of looking stunningly beautiful in our bridal gown and getting married. Well, April did, too. However, she was gloriously happily married at 36.
And then at 37 became a widow.
Heartbreaking, isn't it? Tragic.
Can you relate to tragedy and sadness in your life on some level? How is your life like that? Are all of your single friends marrying off, leaving you in the dust?
And without those attractive single friends, aren't you finding it harder and harder to meet really great singles?
Feeling lonely in your heart of hearts every weekend?
"Single never married" Don't you just hate that classification in the Internet Dating sites?
Failed marriage? Oh, I mean "Divorced".
But isn't that how you're feeling on some level?
"Failure"
"Rejected"
And now, you've lifted your head and are looking for love online. You're hoping, maybe against all hopes, that there really is someone out there for you. You're wondering in your hear of hearts, "April, Dare I hope? Is there someone out there for ME?"
Sweetheart, I am here to tell you, "It is not your fault!" It is not your fault that you are not already married. It is not your fault that you haven't already found someone perfect for you. But as your Romance Coach, I can tell you, there is hope, you can do something about it, and it's easy to do. But you, like all of us, will need help implementing these easy steps along the simple path to finding love. That's where I step in as your Romance Coach and Online Dating Coach.
Widowed herself, April has successfully navigated the romance and dating game to the altar, worked on a successful marriage and all that a great romantic relationship entails, and now is herself back in the dating game in the 21st century. With her compassionate, humorous and sometimes audacious approach she encourages and inspires her clients to be their best selves and find love with her as their Romance Coach.
As you sit at your computer, reading through her numerous expert online dating and online personals dating advise and Free Dating Articles, yes, ALL of those articles over there on the left, you will learn why her client list includes international clientele who rely on her audacious approach, warmth, humor, and relationship expertise to increase their number of dates and improve their romantic relationships. While audacious, she is always discrete and maintains utter confidentiality for her clientele.
On the internet dating scene since the early days in 1997, be sure to check out the new Internet Dating Sites Resource Guide.
Part of my uniqueness which I bring to my dating and relationship coaching with my clients is that I am a widow. I am not divorced. I have LIVED THROUGH the actual concept to which we vow, "Til Death Do Us Part." Death parted us. I have LIVED OUT commitment.
Most of my clients are divorced singles. Please don't think that I am not compassionate about that as your Romance Coach. Of course, we do Divorce Recovery action steps first. Indeed, there are absolutely excellent and necessary reasons for divorce. Just having done so, they are wounded.
Divorced single can often feel a bit rejected fundamentally as a woman.... as a man. Their sense of self-knowledge is out of whack. They often don't feel inside truly attractive and desirable. When they come to me to ask me to be their Romance Coach, I help them to see that in themselves and to express their best selves to the world so they are attracting great partners for THEM. Not what the world may be prescribing to them. And oh my goodness, let's have some FUN along the way, OK? And remember to PLAY and BE SAFE online as you pursue your quest for love with Online Dating Coaching looking to meet your Soul Mate.
Often there is this little fear inside, those little voices which say, " Maybe he is lying!" and "Don't TRUST!" unto the point of marriage commitment. Or "Don't SACRIFICE!" for the other. What is the point of a relationship if we do not get to enjoy the priviledge of mutually sacrificing for each other over time? Those are the relationships which stay only superficial, when most of us yearn and long for one for whom we can sacrifice, a love which enobles us. Daily life means things get pedantic. There is laundry to be done and toilet bowls to be washed. But when we have sacrificed for each other, truly given to them, then we have experienced true intimacy and communion with the Divine. Indeed, we have LIVED. Isn't that what you want, afterall? Isn't that part of what you are hoping for in marriage? Dreaming for? Yearning for when you marry?
Part of the joy of actually DATING is to explore different aspects of ourselves. Try new things and explore and express that part of yourself. Are you a strong athlete? Excellent! How about going to the Opera once or twice? A happy book worm? Superb! Let's go on a 3 hour hike!
And to EVERYONE I do recommend, GO DANCING! I make a point to update the content here at my Dating Advise and Tips Blog just about daily.
Are you staying abreast of the times in Dating in the 21st century? Do you have an Internet Dating Profile (or 2 or 3) posted at Online Dating sites? Also, have you tried Speed Dating? Have you even heard of Speed Dating for singles? If you haven't tried Speed Dating, I really do have to recommend you try it out.

What Is in YOUR Dating Calendar This Week?
Do you have 3 or 4 dates? Or do you need to learn more ways to Get More Dates with Men? I'm talking about having at least a Friday and a Saturday night date. You might also have a Sunday evening or brunch date as well as at least 1 weeknight date.
If you don't yet have that, what are you DOING this very week actively to Meet More Men?
Have you gotten online yet with different Online Dating Sites?
Are you talking with the people in front of you and behind you at Starbucks?
When you are at Barnes & Noble at lunchtime, did you find some way to have a 3 sentence conversation with the other people there?
And when you were at B&N, did you just stay in the ROMANCE and PERSONAL GROWTH sections? Or did you to "Where The Boys Are...." over in BUSINESS and TECHNOLOGY?
On Wednesday night, have you been stopping by to eat din dins at places where divorced dads are likely to take their children? (Family Style Chinese Restaurants and Pizza Joints rank high here.)
Thursday evening, are you getting together with some of your GFs? Singles and marrieds. Thursday evening is simply GREAT for a Girls' Night Out! And you'll want to intersperse that with attending some business networking events, too, which are always chock full of men!
OK folks, it's FRIDAY NIGHT? Do you have a date?
Are you getting out tonight?
If you don't have a date, by all means, GET OUT THERE!
Go to a singles event.
Go to the Bar - hey, Friday night Happy Hour is a FUN thing!
Go to a HOCKEY GAME! Still good for going to a Las Vegas Wranglers game, as well.
Or if you prefer, you could go to a BASEBALL GAME. C'est ok avec moi. To each his own. Just GET OUT.
Now, if you just go to the movies on Friday night, *sigh*, you'll be in the dark sitting ALONE with a stranger with whom you are NOT interacting for 2 hours. If you MUST go to the movies, you have to interact with the people in line near you. Otherwise, go on a week night.
Sensational Saturday!
YES, tonight IS (drum roll please....) DATE NIGHT! Do you have one?
If your answer is NO, WHAT ACTIONS ARE YOU TAKING to DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT FOR NEXT WEEK?
Yes, you will see I am ALL about TAKE action. This is not "The Secret." "I'll just ask the Universe for the relationship I want and it will come to me." Is that how you would buy your house? Is that how you would land your next job? No! For all other really important things you want in life, you DO Take Action for them. Right? Yes, do pray or visualize for what you want. Ask God and the Universe for the relationship you want. Journal about it. Write it out. Write out some of what you DON'T want and then recraft that into a positive statement of what you DO want. All of that will help you FIND it. However, you also MUST GET OUT THERE to find it.
Who are your Relationship Role Models? Be sure you know and regularly interact with a number of happily married couples of all ages. I find it invaluable to interview and learn from the happily married for what they are doing to contribute to their strength and longevity of their relationships, don't you?
