The New Year should not be a time of feeling bad about oneself.  It should be a time of optimism and hope when it comes to online dating.  Think of the month of January as a completely fresh slate.  When it comes to online dating, sometimes we just need that symbolic fresh start to get things moving in the right direction again.

Let’s suppose we meet a girl online a few days before December 20th or even during that week.  You may have had a great Instant Messaging conversation online, or had some very successful emails. However, between the holidays, New Years, and all the other obligations December brings, by the time you are both ready to meet, it could be upwards of two to three weeks!

And what happens when you wait that long to meet? Comfort levels begin to slip between and you start to feel like strangers again.

When it comes to meeting women online, I have discovered just about all you need to know.  No matter who you are, or what you look like, I can train any man to meet any woman online.

Women love activities. It’s a known fact. I’m not sure if it’s the child in us, but we love dates that involve any sort of activity. A pottery making class sure isn’t your normal first date idea, but it definitely is fun. It enables you to be hands on and also gives you some insight into what type of person your date is.

Dating may have its ups and downs, but it’s important to remember why you’re out there in the first place. If it’s love you’re after, you should spend time with someone who will give you want you want.  Remember: You deserve only the best. So what’s the most important thing to remember while you’re out meeting new people on your quest for love? Stay true to yourself!

All over the world, so many people are searching for true love. Sometimes, it’s hard to find. However, just because the pickings might sometimes be slim, that doesn’t mean you should go for someone who’s …

As someone that writes about online dating for a living I have visited and seen my fair share of online dating sites.  While many strive for greatness, the truth is that many just do not live up to the hype in terms of user-experience, quality of membership and overall satisfaction.  Yet, there are a few gems in this over-populated field and I must say, 100hookup falls near the top of the list.  100hookup not only delivers on a specific niche, helping hookup people to find matches in a dwindling hookup population, but it continues to expand and innovate with new ideas.

Men are visual. They can’t help but judge a woman based on their first impression of her. If you want to turn a first date into a second date, follow these rules and you’ll be second dating in no time.

Dating can be nerve-racking enough, but add in the anxiety of planning your first few date night outfits and the anxiety increases tenfold! I turned to celebrity stylist Sandy Hapoienu to find out what the best possible date night outfits would be for a first meet and greet, meeting at a trendy bar, a dinner date and a night at the gala.  I had the pleasure of working with the talented Sandy Hapoienu at Bloomingdales in White Plains NY for the shoot, and Sandy chose her top picks for the following date nights.

When I joined 100hookup, I mean when I really joined 100hookup, I didn’t just set up a profile, pick a random screen name, answer a few questions, find a color code that suited me and start flirting with strangers.  Nope….I took a camera crew to the streets to document my experience.  

Introducing 100hookup Walking, my new, online video series in which I take your advice on how to become the “MostEliJewble” bachelor on 100hookup.  Think of it as the Great hookup Dating Experiment.  I come to you as a hookup mound of clay willing to be molded by the hands of the 100hookup community.
