How to Make Your Date Think You’re Cool

July 23, 2013/in Date Tips /by Guest Blogger

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Lily Rudolph

He walks with a swagger and a stride, leans against walls and exerts a sense of control that makes you think he was born driving motorcycles while playing an electric guitar.
She walks in and everyone turns to look her way.  She could be wearing skinny jeans, a little pink dress, plaid overalls, or sleeve tattoos and dermal piercings.  She would make a potato sack look hot.
They have incredible charisma, the kind that makes you feel cooler just by hanging around them.  It is hard to define cool but we know it when we see it.  Here are 5 dating tips that are sure to make your date think you’re cool.
1. Set out to have fun
dating tips
Don’t over think or second guess yourself.  I know that this is easier said than done.  Dating is a bit like bowling.  Now, I am really bad at bowling so if you are good at it maybe you should replace this analogy with a different activity.  Whenever I go bowling, which is maybe twice a year, I start off thinking to myself, I don’t have much experience with this so I’ll just have fun and not worry about how well I do.  Then my first few turns are amazing.  I hit strikes and spares.  I begin to think, wow I’m not too bad at this after all.  So I start to strategize: maybe if I move the ball this way it will go down the center and I will have better aim.  I hesitate and second guess and roll ball after ball into the gutter.  That is when I realize that my game is much better when I just set out to have fun and see what happens.
2. Look accidentally beautiful
dating tips
There is no need to pile on the make-up or hair gel.  Instead of hiding behind fashion, use it to accentuate your natural beauty.  The best way to look accidentally beautiful is to feel beautiful.  Here are some amazing blogs that can lend you some inspiration:
For women that are “all shades of beautiful” Afrobella is a fabulous blog about beauty, hair, and culture.
If you want to stay fashion forward check out Painfully Hip.  This blog even offers tips for staying chic on a budget.
For menswear Style Girlfriend  is an excellent source for men’s fashion from a female perspective.
For natural and organic cosmetics check out  Living Pretty, Naturally .  This blog also shares tips for yoga, wellness, and healthy living.
3. Be in the know
dating tips
Don’t get stuck in the old “What do you want to do?” “I don’t know, what do you want to do?”
Come up with some fun things that you can do together.  For ideas check out Thrillist an awesome site that will fill you in on the fun, crazy, and unique things to do around your city.
4. Have interesting things to talk about
dating tips
Share some crazy stories that give a bit of insight into who you are.  If you have lived a super dull existence try looking to the outer world for stories that will interest your date.  Digg and Technorati are incredible resources for fun facts and current events.
5. MOST IMPORTANTLY: REMEMBER THAT CONFIDENCE IS KEY!

How to Ruin a Date

July 16, 2013/in Date Tips /by Guest Blogger

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Lily Rudolph

Of course if I told you that you could ruin a date by showing up on acid wearing nothing but gold paint it would be true, but you would never actually do that….right?  Here are four common ways that people ruin their chances with that special someone, and dating tips to help you avoid these pitfalls.
1. Arriving late without calling or texting beforehand and giving no explanation as to where you were
Dating Tips
To prevent this: Contact your date beforehand to explain that you will be late.  When you arrive simply apologize and move on.  Don’t dwell on it.  If you are one of those people who is perpetually late you should check out Twist, a free app that estimates your arrival time and let’s your friends know your ETA.
2. Talking too much or too little  
Dating Tips
Here’s an idea: act really nervous, don’t look your date in the eye and go off on a monologue about your life.  Don’t forget to psychoanalyze yourself and emphasize your tumultuous dating history just to keep things interesting.  Speak really really quickly so there is no pause for your date to enter the conversation.  Sound ridiculous?  You would be surprised as to how many people actually do this.  Meanwhile, some have the opposite nervous reaction: talking too little.  If you become a mute during a date or answer questions with short, one-word answers, your silence emphasizes the awkwardness of the date.
To prevent this nervous chatter: Try distracting yourself with some Youtube comedy to relax before you go out.  Watch anything by Jenna Marbles; she is hilarious!  If you feel like you are talking too much ask your date questions and make an effort to keep the conversation flowing back and forth.
3. Texting and Playing Games on Your Phone
Dating Tips
I know it’s tempting, your phone vibrates and you have to know who messaged you.  What did they say?  Maybe someone commented on your Facebook status.  The entire time that you have been obsessing over your phone, you have lost track of what your date has been saying.  You figure you have blown it now anyway so you go for the phone, noooooo.  Now you are stuck in Smartphone Land and your date feels completely ignored.
To prevent this: Set your phone on silent and leave it in your bag or pocket – somewhere out of sight.  If this simple action causes fiending and anxiety you might have nomophobia, the fear of being out of mobile contact.  BE CAREFUL, when nomophobia goes untreated it can lead to phone addiction.  If you or someone you know shows symptoms of nomophobia Hanna Mittelstaedt’s Nomophobia App can help.
4. Drinking too much
dating tips
The logic: if one drink makes me feel sexy, ten drinks will make me feel ten time sexier right?  Wrong!
To prevent this: don’t get too drunk, you can do it.  I believe in you!

Your date is underdressed. #oopsies

Eight Awkward Online Dating Moments And How to Get Out Of Them

July 12, 2013/in Funny & Videos /by CMB

We’ve all been there… Here’s a few of the best online dating awkward moments:

1. The Neighbor Make-Out Sesh

Nextdoor Make-out?
You’re on a lunch date and things are going smoothly. Suddenly the couple next to you starts making out passionately. You’re suddenly filled with awkwardness and doubt. Should you be making out too? Is this normal in a daytime cafe? Your date has noticed too and now she’s deep in thought about it as well. You’ve just met…you can’t be thinking about making out yet!
OR MAYBE YOU CAN! The best solution? Outshine your neighbors with your own mid-day make-out.

2. The “I thought this was just going to be a hug” goodbye

OH GOD HE'S GOING FOR A KISS

You’ve had a very nice first date. He was an absolute gentleman and damn cute as well. On saying goodbye, you lean in for a ‘see you later’ hug, only to see him closing his eyes and puckering his lips! He’s going for a kiss! What do you do in a situation like this? Should you reciprocate or dodge? Think quickly, you only have a split second!

Our answer? Skip first base! Go for the full home-run.

 

3. The I-think-I-kinda-know-you hello.

The "I already know you" hello

You’ve spent two hours picking out your outfit for the night. You have thought out every possible conversation and you are sure that you are ready to rock this date. Suddenly the unthinkable happens. When you meet your date, you realize that he was that guy in your finance class. You know, the one who you saw everywhere but never really talked to. THAT ONE GUY. You just went from confident to completely uncomfortable.

Best Choice? Get to REALLY know them. *wink*

4. The “Who are you again?”

The "Who are you?"

You’re halfway through a great date. The conversation has been phenomenal; she shares all the same interests as you and even had a dog of the same breed as yours. It could not be a better match. You open your mouth to say something, but your brain fails you! What’s her name!? You don’t know! What do you do?

We know what we would do. Use nicknames like Honey-Bear, Sugar-Booger, and Frank.

 

5. The surprise third-wheel.

The surprise third wheel

You’re on a first date at the park and suddenly an old friend comes up to you. You haven’t seen her in years! She joins right in the conversation and asks how you know your date. How do you know him? Do you say it’s a date? Will that be uncomfortable? If you say he’s just a friend, is that friendzoning? How do you make it not awkward while still keeping the date in play?

Ask her to join in! #threeway #AWWWWYEEEAH

 

6. The dress code violation.

The Dress code violator

You’re meeting up with your date for a classy wine-and-candlelight dinner. You’ve put time into your look and you look damn fine. You show up at your arranged meeting place only to find your date completely under dressed. We’re not talking like he wore a sweater instead of a blazer, but like, he wore a brotank to a five-star. Who is this guy? Do you still go to dinner?

 Our style tips? You guys will still match if you’re both undressed *wink*

 

7. The declined credit card.

The declined credit card
You’ve finished your meals and are ready to leave for the theater when suddenly the waiter comes back to the table and informs you that your credit card was just declined. It’s the only card in your wallet and you didn’t bring cash. Should you ask your date to pay for you? Can you really pay off your bill by cleaning dishes? Will the waiter still want a tip?
If you never intend to pay, you can never be too poor! Just dine ‘n dash at every meal!

8. The lack of conversation.

The 'nothing to talk about' date
It’s a nice day out. Your food has been delicious. Your date is cute. Even your hair looks good today. Everything is great, but you can’t think of a single thing to say to your date. Worst part? He has nothing to say either. You both just sit there, uncomfortably sipping your orange mocha frappuccinos and avoiding eye contact. You’ve been racking your brains but no good question has come up. Should you just say the first thing you can think of? Should you just wait for him to say something? Maybe you should just get up and leave? Is there anything you can do?
If you can’t think of anything to say to your date, then talk to someone else. Our personal favorite? SIRI. “Siri, why is my date looking at me awkwardly?”

Date Ideas: Staycation

Dinner and a Movie is Overrated! Dating Tips for the New Stay-at-Home Date

July 9, 2013/in Date Tips /by Guest Blogger

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Lily Rudolph

So you have mastered the going out to dinner date and the local festival or event date.  Now it is time for the next step: the stay-at-home date.  You probably remember the buzzword “staycation”  as a product of the 2009 financial crises, defining the  inexpensive stay-at-home-vacation, but staying in should not be your last resort.  Even if you have the cash to go out all the time, activities that focus on the moment rather than the money are bound to bring you closer together.  Here are my dating tips for the 3-Step Staycation, the perfect date to make the first move.
Step 1: Cook Together
Dating Tips
Food is a bonding experience especially when you make it yourselves.  Check out Alex and Sonja Overhiser’s blog A Couple Cooks for fantastic recipes, healthy food facts, and tips on cooking together.  If you are on a budget, Gabi Moskowitz’s recipes might be more your style.  Her blog BrokeAss Gourmet offers healthy recipes that can be made for $20 or less!
Step 2: Add a Bit of Music
Dating Tips
Cooking together is nice, but cooking together with music is even nicer!  Sites like Grooveshark allow you to make playlists, pick stations by genre, and play virtually any song you can think of for FREE.  Make a playlist that shows off your musical taste and creates a warm, comfortable atmosphere.
Step 3: Sprinkle in Some Love
Dating Tips
So you enjoyed an amazing meal and listened to some awesome beats.  Now, here you are, Step 3.  What’s next?  I know what you are thinking.  If I say “dinner and a _____.”  Of course you will answer “movie” right? It’s the classic date, but I challenge you to take a step outside that box.  I know it’s tempting to click on the Netflix and drift off into screen-watching Never Never Land, but you have created the perfect setting to do something else, something that really lets you get to know each other.  Take this opportunity to talk.  If it is a warm night go outside and look at the stars.  Check out Mashable’s list of Apps for Stargazers for some astronomical knowledge.  If stargazing isn’t your thing, you can alway do other things.  This is your chance to make a move and you don’t need that movie-crutch to do it.  Just feel out the situation and be creative.  Good luck!

Dating Tips: How to Survive a Breakup

June 25, 2013/in Date Tips /by Guest Blogger

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Lily Rudolph

I remember when my ex-boyfriend of three years broke up with me.  I couldn’t eat or sleep.  Instead I lay on my couch in tears, listening to Bright Eyes and drinking whiskey straight – and I am not a whiskey drinker.  It was my Dad, of all people, who gave me some of the best advice I’ve ever heard about breakups.  He said, “If someone tells you that they don’t want to be with you they are doing you a favor.”  Of course he was right, you don’t want to waste your time clinging to a one-sided romance.  Here are my tips on how to survive heartbreak the healthy way:
1. Embrace Your Artistic Side
Dating Tips
Paint or play music.  If you feel like you need more closure write a letter to your ex, just think twice before actually sending it.  If you are not naturally creative, blog sites like Urban Dater or Letter To My Ex can provide excellent inspiration or at least a bit of company for your misery.
2. Get Outside
Dating Tips
I know you are tired, and you probably don’t feel like doing much.  You just want to drown in your own sadness.  Just remember, energy breeds energy.  Even a short hike will release those endorphins and put things back into perspective.  For great outdoor deals that will cheer you up and add a little spring to your step check out The Clymb.
3. Indulge, Just a Little Bit
Dating Tips
You are going through a hard time, you are allowed to give in to at least some of your cravings.  For amazing recipes that taste good and are good for you check out Elana’s Pantry.  Now you can indulge without feeling guilty!
4. Positive Affirmations
Dating Tips
It is easy to blame yourself for what went wrong, but you shouldn’t beat yourself up.  Try to tell yourself positive things throughout the day.  Tiny Buddha is a great website for inspirational quotes and condolences.
5. Allow People to Bring You Up
Dating Tips
Never, under any circumstances, start a conversation with a stranger by saying, “I should tell you, I just got out of a serious relationship.”  NO you should not tell them that!  If you don’t have anything positive to bring to the table, let the others run the show.  Who knows?  Maybe they will distract you into having a good time.  If you don’t feel like meeting new people right now, that’s cool too.  Surround yourself with the people you love.
Remember, this too is temporary.  You will be back on your feet soon enough and CMB is always here to help with daily bagels and dating tips.  Good Luck!

Reading Dating Signals

Dating Tips: Reading Dating Signals

June 20, 2013/in Date Tips /by Guest Blogger

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Lily Rudolph

Have you ever returned home from a date feeling on top of the world only to find yourself lying awake hours later, obsessing over every little detail?
When she offered me gum was she trying to tell me that I had bad breath?
It has been two days and he still hasn’t called.  Should I call him?  Would that seem desperate?  Did I say the wrong thing.  Am I going to be single for the rest of my life?!
Dating Tips
This kind of obsession will fill you with anxiety and ultimately lead you to your dating demise.
That’s why last week we released a survey asking 2,000+ participants ten questions aimed at decoding your dating signals.
Guess what? The results were unanimous across age and gender lines.  Our Reading Dating Signals survey could have easily been retitled The Art of Taking Things at Face Value, or more specifically, STOP OVER ANALYZING AND TRY TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
Here are some highlights from the survey: Universal Truths About Dating
1. It doesn’t matter who makes the first move as long as somebody does it.
Dating Tips
2. Playing with your phone during a date is a sign of boredom.  If your date is playing with their phone do something interesting or just give up.
Dating Tips
3. If the person that you like responds to your texts right away it means that they are more interested in you than if they take more time to respond.  Of course, this is with the exception of hippie dippy care-free people who aren’t always glued to their cellphone.  If the person you like is this type you shouldn’t take offense to their text lag.
Dating Tips  Dating Tips
4. Paying
Guys pay because they are expected to, it doesn’t distinguish weather he likes you or not.  A woman is NOT more likely to sleep with a guy because he pays on a date.  Interestingly enough, when we asked “What if he spends over $100?”  the percentage of women who said that they would be more likely to have sex actually went down!
Dating Tips
5.  Don’t obsess!
If your date makes plans with you at the last minute, you are not a backup plan, and who cares if you are?  They want to see you.
If your date asks you out to coffee rather than a drink it doesn’t mean anything special.  All it means is that they want to see you.
Dating Tips
Conclusion
Our dating tips can be summed up into one single word of wisdom: RELAX.  Don’t worry about little things like your date insisting on paying the check, preferring texting over talking on the phone, or offering you gum on the ride home.  Focus on the big picture: how does your date make you feel?  The point is to have fun and show your positive side.  If it works out great.  If it doesn’t, find another Bagel.  Now stop over analyzing and try to have a good time.
Note: I would like to take a moment to apologize to our gay members for the straight nature of the survey. We will definitely be more careful next time!

Dating Tips for the 21st Century Princess

June 17, 2013/in For Her /by Guest Blogger

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Catherine Nguyen

Hey Ladies,
Let’s face it, everyone wants to fall in love like Cinderella and her Prince Charming. Or ride away into the sunset on a magic carpet with their Aladdin. Whoever it is, there are definitely some dating tips you can pick up from your childhood princesses to turn your next Bagel into your future Prince Charming.
So, in honor of Pixar’s Monster’s University release this Friday, June 21st, we’re having our own Throwback Thursday (#tbt) blog post dedicated to Disney Princess dating tips! How do these lovely ladies manage their love life in the face of adversity, whether that be in the form of a crazy stepmom or crazed suitor, Jafar? Let’s find out:
Cinderella & Prince Charming
Although Cinderella was a servant for her wicked stepmother & sisters, and had nothing to wear for the upcoming Ball, she was innovative with what she could make do with. By simply sprucing up your date outfit, you can make a strong fashion statement about the type of woman you are. Check out Poshmark, mentioned in our latest post for recent college grads new to SF, the best app for shopping the closets of other women around the world – maybe you’ll find a ball-worthy gown for your next date!
dating tips
Cinderella manages to sneak away at the stroke of midnight due to a wardrobe malfunction, but leaves the Prince hanging for more at the expense of her glass slipper. If you want to be more gracefully reminded that you have to leave your date at midnight, check out the Twist app to give yourself (and any crazy stepsisters waiting for you) a reminder of what time you will be arriving home. No more abandoned glass slippers!
dating tips
Beauty & the Beast
“Don’t judge a book by its cover” – although quite self-explanatory for the Beast, the same can be applied to Belle. Ladies, don’t be afraid to show that beauty can come (and should come) with brains! In our latest post, 5 Reasons Why Nerds are the New Cool, nerds are not only smart but are more likely to emulate the “work hard, play hard” motto when having fun. So be flirty and sassy with your next (nerdy) Bagel, and maybe it can bring out the man hidden in the beast.

dating tips

Belle does this by jokingly throwing snowballs at the Beast, and helps him to loosen up!

Little Mermaid & Prince Eric
“It’s all about that body language” as Ursula said, right before taking away Ariel’s beautiful voice in exchange for human legs. Without it, Ariel had to learn how to capture the attention & affection of Prince Eric, using her body language, eye contact, and genuine interest. Romantic, one-on-one dates, like a boat ride through a lagoon with a singing crab in the background, or better yet a low-key summer festival in your local area (SF, LA, Chicago, & Boston, NY, DC are coming up soon!) are great ways to learn how to master your body language and make your next Bagel apart of your world.

dating tips from the tech sector

eChivalry: Dating Tips from the Tech Sector

May 24, 2013/in For Him /by Guest Blogger

iphone-engagement2

Got a hot date coming up you want to impress? Scrambling for a last minute venue for dinner and drinks? Gentlemen, this is your chance to prove that chivalry isn’t dead; quite the contrary. There’s an app for it. Want to impress your date and learn some lifehacks to streamline your day-to-day? Here are some dating tips from the tech sector that might come in handy the next time you’re wooing the ladies.

1. Get Plugged In
If you live in a city, you’ve probably noticed how increasingly smartphone-centric everything is getting. Knowing local apps and social media makes you more involved in your local community, and hip—knowledge is power. Lifestyle apps like Sōsh or Thrillist that hand pick events and deals out of your personal quiver of interests humbly ask that you make a profile or login through Facebook to better match you with your local friends who might also have good ideas on the community beat.
Want something a little more instant-gratification oriented? Apps like Now pull the location tags from Instagram to let you know what venues and locations are trending in your area, giving you down-to-the-second updates on what’s going on. Clients like Goldstar help you stay on top of this, offering discounts and early RSVP options for people who are in the know, or just looking for new music and art and willing to give it a try.

tumblr_mi0qm5OuYl1qj10k6o1_500

2. Know your Surroundings
This may sound like a strange one, but knowing where you are and how to get around is becoming easier (and more important than ever). Being on time is something made science by apps like Embark that keep you up-to-date on public transit, or Uber, which lets you seamlessly call different levels of personal transport (from taxi, to towncar, to SUV) to your exact location within five minutes. This is crucial when there’s nary a cab in sight and all the buses have absconded with your last hope of a ride home. For the more outgoing among us, there’s Sidecar, which uses their mobile interface to let you hitch a ride with registered users in your area.
3. Know When to Unplug
Knowing when to put your phone down is still crucial in establishing that human connection. So often these days, people find themselves ignoring their physical surroundings and the people therein; take a moment, put your phone on silent, hide it in the depths of your backpack, and ignore the terrible itch to see who’s sending you drunk pictures on Snapchat for ten minutes to have a face to face conversation. These tips will set you up for an unforgettable experience and bring out the cultured ladykiller within, so when clutch time comes, stay focused on your date, not these apps. Unplug, be present, and you might even see date number two looming on the horizon.

Best Urban & Fun Date Ideas: Boston Part III

April 30, 2013/in Boston /by CMB

Welcome back to Urban Dating: Easy & fun date ideas from urban experts!
Here is the continued series from MC Slim JB.
After your first couple of dates have gone well, try something more adventurous! Here are some ideas:
Adventurous Date:  Drinks on the Waterfront, water taxi to dinner in Eastie, water taxi back to the Seaport, nightcap in Fort Point. Pick a night from Thursday to Sunday (my restaurant choice is closed Monday to Wednesday) when you anticipate clear weather.
If you want to start the evening on a swanky note, begin with a pop at the Alley Bar at Rowes Wharf, the new patio bar at the Boston Harbor Hotel. (Don’t confuse this with Downtown Crossing’s similarly-named Alley Bar, a gay hangout.) The specialty cocktail list at this breezy outdoor bar features refreshing, summery long drinks like the Alley Cat (vodka, mint syrup, lime and cilantro). If you’re in the mood for something more casual, have a quick one at Biddy Early’s Pub just across the Greenway at the edge of the Financial District, a dumpy, loud after-work joint with big, cheap drinks.
alley-bar2
Then walk to the dock behind the InterContinental Hotel a few doors down from the Boston Harbor Hotel and summon a City Water Taxi to Stop #11. Take it to the East Boston Harbor Shipyard & Marina (Stop #68), and tell the captain you’re headed to KO Pies; you’ll get a nice discount off the fare. This short, romantic boat trip features absolutely stunning views of the Boston Waterfront.
mag0513-Waterfront-A11__1336853325_5826
At the other end, walk through a real, working commercial shipyard to KO Pies at the Shipyard, a rare outpost of Australian cuisine in Boston. The food here is nothing an American will find challenging, just fresh and nice-priced snacks, salads, sandwiches. Be sure to get at least one Aussie pie, a small pot pie with a terrific pastry crust and fillings like curried chicken or beef stew, and maybe get a beer, too. These are best enjoyed at the outdoor picnic tables.
KOBeefStewPie
Hail your return City Water Taxi, but this time, debark in the Seaport at Stop #8, at the Barking Crab. The Seaport is an undeniably hot dining and drinking destination these days, but most venues there are dull chains or tourist traps, middling and overpriced. You can do better: take a quick stroll down the Harborwalk, hugging the Fort Point Channel on your right (away from the Moakley Courthouse, toward South Station). Then take a left down Congress Street at the Boston Children’s Museum’s giant milk bottle and proceed a couple of blocks to Tavern Road. This hopping new gastropub has a cool industrial vibe, very good desserts (like housemade ice cream sundaes and cookies), and a fantastic bar program: just the place to put an exclamation point on your evening.
