What Christmas and Online Dating have in common
23 December 2007 by The Online Dating Coaches.
Notice this year how many great looking photo Christmas cards you received from friends who ordered them from online from places like Shutterfly, Kodak, Snapfish, etc?
How many gifts you ordered and received through online shopping?
Our children will never believe that in the “old days” people had to drive around town to find a specific gift, then search for a suitable shipping box, saving the most maddening task for last — standing in line at the crowded Post Office to send it!
Thankfully, those time-wasting and frustrating “old days” of shopping are over because of the internet!
Of course, we still love the aesthetic pleasure of shopping, but when you need to find those navy stiletto heels with silver trim in size 8 1/2 narrow to match your cocktail dress or a titanium drill bit size 3.5 to fit your Robi drill, you shop online.
And when, in my 30’s, I decided I wasn’t going to spend another decade of bringing different boyfriends home to meet the family at holidays, I turned to the internet to meet my mate!
Thank goodness the “old days” of hoping to meet someone special randomly at work/party/bar/wedding/vacation are over… all because of online dating!
Want to know my SECRET to finding a great man online and being happily married (4+ years)?
Let me COACH you how to do the same!

The ABC’s of MONOGAMOUS dating!
6 November 2007 by The Online Dating Coaches.
Many… MANY … MANY … of our coaching clients ask us a variation of the question:
How do I know when my relationship becomes monogamous ?
The answer is simple, but my job is to COACH you in learning the answer!
Ask yourself:
How do SUCCESSFUL people know anything?
Successful people –
- DO ask questions.
- DO communicate until they get the answer.
Unsuccessful people –
- DON’T ask questions, just assume…
- DON’T speak up, but expect other people to reveal the answer!
In terms of online dating, if you desire a monogamous relationship, follow what the successful daters do with these ABC’s of Monogamous Dating!
Advertise your desire for a monogamous relationship when you place an ad and/or Answer only ads expressing the same interest.
“If you’re looking for a fun and passionate companion that may lead to a fun and passionate monogamous relationship, email me and include several photos!”
Be clear in your desires. Reiterate at some point in your email correspondence:
“I’ve met some great people dating online, but now I’m looking for someone I can eventually have a monogamous relationship with. What are you looking for?”
Check-in after a set period of time. “I’ve really had a great time dating these last 3 months and I’d like to have a monogamous relationship with you. Do you feel the same way?”
If the answer is anything other than a resounding YES, move on.
That’s how the Online Dating Coaches found success online and married our wonderful husbands!

What’s in a (screen) name?
6 November 2007 by The Online Dating Coaches.
I was about to answer a great question from an online dater, but I couldn’t get over her screen name:
youvegotnomessages@___.___
You know something? She’s right!
She has created a world for herself as recently expressed in the hit book and movie
along with the classic
“THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING“
“Whatever the mind can conceive…
and believe…
it can achieve!”
So if you create a screen name which states, even as a joke –
You’ve Got No Messages
That’s exactly what you’re creating!
Want some Coaching on your screen name?
You can post the first part of your screen name (don’t include the @ or what follows it) in our comments section and the Coaches guide you to a successful screen name!
p.s. I met my husband using the screen name TrueBlueFemme

What PRICE love?
23 October 2007 by The Online Dating Coaches.
You can’t put a price on love… or can you?
This topic came up at a party recently and, although it’s my personal experience, I was amazed at the results!
Despite being a dating coach, I don’t offer unsolicited advice when I’m not working… or at least try not to.
And holding my tongue has been a challenge whenever I run into a particular friend of a friend whom I’ll call DOE (for “Down on Everything”). I’m sure you have one in your life!
Despite being miserable in her lovelife — due to not having one – DOE has always put down online dating, despite seeing Beth and my success over the years. For the last ten years I’ve known her, she’s had the same regrets about her life…
“I waited to long to have kids… I’m lonely… I can’t find a good man…”
Along with the same complaints about online dating (which she’s never tried!)…
“Online Dating isn’t safe… it’s embarrassing… it’s for losers… “
DOE is certainly entitled to her opinion, but I couldn’t help but laugh when she declared at this party:
“Online Dating is a waste of money…”
Because whether or not a relationship is a good idea emotionally — it can be “A tale of two Pauls” –
You can quantify love it as a great idea financially! Here’s why:
When you find your mate and marry/live together, your fixed expenses are cut in half!
Rent, utilities, cable, internet, phone, insurance, and more!
Along with the luxuries of vacations, owning a boat, pets, etc.
At the party, always a quick thinker (!), I figured I’ve saved at least $1500 a month since being with my mate and declared to DOE,
“I must have saved thousands of dollars by using online dating!”
I was shocked when someone at the party, clearly better with numbers than myself,
“Karin, you’ve saved at least $90,000.00!*”
In addition, my husband John and I have purchased two income properties, which we never would have done if single.
You don’t have to be a real estate wizard to figure out how much money we’ve made buying property in Southern California in the last 5 years.
So how much should you spend on your quest to find a mate?
I believe it’s as much as you can afford IF you like being in love AND saving money!
*$1500 a month over 5 years.
If I live to my life expectancy, 45 more years, that’s $810,000.00 for a total of almost
a million dollars, just in savings!

WWJD - What Would Jerry Do?
19 October 2007 by The Online Dating Coaches.
While I certainly DON’T suggest celebrities as role models in dating and marriage (see “Avoiding the Pam Anderson Effect” below)…
… I do think Jerry Seinfeld brings up a good point in his recent TIME magazine interview.
Jerry reveals that he married a woman who stood out from all the other beautiful women he was dating because she was…
…nice!
“I was dating for 25 years. Do you know how exhasting that was? Do you know how much acting fascinated I did?” But [his wife] Jessica, actually did fascinate him. Of all the nice Jewish girls available to him, he says, ’she was the nicest.’
I know the importance of being nice from personal experience and I share my wisdom as a Dating Coach.
MY STORY: 
“On our first date, John and I met at a bar and talked for hours. I’m sure I mentioned about my dog Gator, who was, at that time, the love of my life*! On our second date we planned to meet during the day for a walk along Venice Beach so I could bring Gator. John showed up with a package of dog cookies. Yes, he was trying to score, but he was also a nice guy. And in his goal to win me, he finished 1st!”
MY HUSBAND’S STORY: 
“We started dating and Karin caught a cold. No big deal, but I was on my way to Cozumel for a scuba diving trip. One night she brought over chicken soup and that Airborne stuff. She was just so different from other women I had dated. She was really thinking about me.”Naturally, many other factors went into the success of our relationship, including physical attraction, but, in dating:
My next post I’ll reveal how I infuse each “Online Dating Makeover” for our clients with that cherry on top.
*Gator still is the love of my life, with my husband a very close second. John’s okay with that, and that’s one reason I love him so much!

Whatta Site!
13 October 2007 by The Online Dating Coaches.
Did you know there are over 1400 online dating sites on the web? There are what Karin and I call, “the Majors,” like match.com, eHarmony.com, Yahoo!Personals, where you have millions of singles who might be a match, and then there are what we call the “Specialty Sites.” Much smaller, the Specialty Sites are usually free, and while they offer fewer members, if you share the interest of the specialty site, you’re guaranteed to have something in common with the members! So if you have a passion, search the web for your own Specialty Site, and see if you can find your match!

Do you agree? What do you think?
11 October 2007 by The Online Dating Coaches.
My friend sent me this email the other day, hoping to inspire Karin and me to take our coaching to the next level. Right now, we create Online Dating Makeovers, helping singles with their screennames, photos and personal ads. We also offer personalized coaching services…My friend thinks there are many more people out there who want in-person, step-by-step instruction and an easy way to access it…Here’s what she says…let us know… good idea?
“What about starting a little internet cafe - a Starbucks-like joint - for people who want help with the internet dating stuff…but instead of telling them what to do, the Online Dating Coaches do all the work for them! No doubt this is more important for thirty and forty year olds than for the twenty year olds - but there are a lot of people out there who remain computer challenged. How about - an internet cafe for computer challenged people to walk in and get set up, and/or get things explained to them or done for them - they can walk home with their laptop fully loaded - not just about online personal ads but about real online dating basics. Apple’s got the help - but I find myself not getting over there (at 10pm - my only free time) Just a thought…”
Let us know, if we had an internet cafe where you could stop by and we’d offer our step-by-step instruction in person and load everything for you onto your laptop, would this be helpful for you…or someone you know?
