No, there was no such thing as online dating when you got married…but, there is now! Divorce can leave you whirling, but when you start picking up the pieces of your life and decide to move back into dating, it can feel a bit strange. Have no fear, you can jump back into dating and actually enjoy finding out about yourself and meeting other new people in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tips For Dating After Divorce by &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.upublish.info/profile/Gladys-Alvarez/35760"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gladys Alvarez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here you are, single again and with children, (man or woman) you were married for a few or many years and for that length of time, you were a partnership, good or bad, that’s the way it was. Now, it’s all up to you, and if you are really lucky, the divorce was somewhat amicable and the transition will be less painful. BUT, what about the children? The following tips might help you out.&lt;br /&gt;In the case of a divorce, there are a few variables to take into consideration. Was it an amicable divorce? Are you on speaking terms with your ex? How do you feel about yourself? Are you happy that you are now free, whether you asked for the divorce or if he did? The idea of dating again can be very intimidating, but at the same time, it can be better than the first time so long ago. Now you know what it is that you want or not in another relationship.&lt;br /&gt;Studies suggest that a person wait several months before they wade into the dating pool, anywhere from six months to a year, usually those who do not give themselves time to close one relationship before they start another do not do very well with that one either. Even if you feel good about yourself and you have no self esteem problem, it is always wise to give yourself time to find your wings again.&lt;br /&gt;Some of the ways to do this is by joining a club or group that has activities that you enjoy, such as a reading club, or join an art class, reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Join a gym or any social club with activities you might enjoy, where you can make new friends. Let your friends know that you are ready to start dating again, try online dating, although that idea might be a little scary to some, recent surveys have shown that approximately 7 million Americans now go online and use their dating sites and services.&lt;br /&gt;If on the other hand, your self-esteem is battered, then, before you even think of dating, you must first work on feeling great again. Raising your children alone might leave you tired, strung out or with a feeling of unattractiveness. Treat yourself by having a manicure and pedicure! If you are a man, take time to go out with your friends (if that’s something you would enjoy doing, maybe play some golf). Go to a Spa for a massage, a facial, something relaxing; Taking care of your children alone after the divorce may have left you with a feeling of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;un&lt;/span&gt;-attractiveness and tired, so, spend some quality time for yourself, such as going to the beauty salon an have a manicure and pedicure.&lt;br /&gt;Regardless of how good or poorly your self esteem is at the moment, have a fairly good ideal of what you prefer to find in another relationship. Rather than handsome, look for character, sense of humor, likes children, he is dependable, honest, no anger problems. This will help you in not selecting someone identical to the person you divorced which is something many women do, and then ask themselves why they keep failing.&lt;br /&gt;Don’t feel, when you start to date, that the first man you go out with, will be your soul mate, treat the dating as you would someone you are interviewing for a job, you do not hire the first applicant that comes your way. Be honest and tell the person about your children, but keep them out of the equation, at least until you know the person better. Ask him if he likes or has children of his own, as time goes by, if he is going to be in your life, he will then, also become a part of theirs, and when that time comes, introduce him to your children slowly and as a friend.&lt;br /&gt;Copyright (c) 2009 Gladys Alvarez&lt;br /&gt;Gladys Alvarez, an Internet marketer and mentor, with forty-five years experience as a Correspondent, who has traveled extensively around the world, has done what hundreds of people were hoping for; the research and legwork regarding Internet dating.

It is not just a saying because there are several facts available to prove this statement.&lt;br /&gt;It is often seen that in various developed countries like U.S., a very big percentage of people are there who are living the life of singles i.e. who are unmarried. These people prefer to go for the option of dating and love and for them the most preferred option is of mature dating.&lt;br /&gt;In case of &lt;a href="http://romanceprostucson.com/mature-dating-with-romance-pros-why-more-singles-are-choosing-romance-pros/"&gt;mature dating&lt;/a&gt;, both the persons involved in the relationship are mature and so they enter into the relationship that lasts for a longer period of time. It is noteworthy that if a person wants to date someone in mature dating, then he gets the advantage of age which is not possible in case of any other dating options available. Here, if the dating partner is younger than the other person then the advantage of experience remains with him/her. Similarly in case the opposite partner is older in age than the first person then the advantage of both being experienced goes to both of them. Because of their older age they get into mature dating relationship that is specifically based on emotions.&lt;br /&gt;Generally in case of other dating options, the relationships come to an end very soon because of conflicts of ideas or any other reasons. However this is not the case with &lt;a href="http://romanceprostucson.com/mature-dating-with-romance-pros-why-more-singles-are-choosing-romance-pros/"&gt;mature dating&lt;/a&gt; relationships. Here the persons first opt to know about each other and then after finding that their choices, ideas and preferences are nearly matching, they enter into the relationship. The relationship thus formed proves reliable and so lasts for a very long period of time.&lt;br /&gt;The faith of older generation is more in mature dating relationships because here they are free to choose their partners in the way they want. Also as in case of other dating options where the physical appearance of the person comes to the picture, such thing is not possible in mature dating relationships. In mature dating, the maximum emphasis is given on matching of ideas, choice of preferences and other emotional aspects and so the bond that develops prove to be very stronger.&lt;br /&gt;Thus for older generation, the option of mature dating is simply an inevitable option which not only helps them find their perfect soul mate but also offers them the opportunity to lead a wonderful life.&lt;br /&gt;Dating isn’t just for young people, but for those who are young at heart. If you’re looking for a relationship and your age has kept you away from the dating scene, get off your couch and invest your time into a matchmaking service. They will provide you with the best experience in discovering true love at any age. There are thousands of people just like you looking for real love. Find a matchmaker today and get back in the dating scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allan Tan is an experienced writer on seeking dating and relationships.

We have compiled some tips and words of wisdom to help our love struck singles make the most out of their days of dating. We show you how to avoid bad habits and how to lessen the pain that we sometimes encounter in the name of love. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some examples of more common dating mistakes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People rush into relationships with partners who are not capable of dealing with their emotional needs. We have preconceived ideas and conclusions that love and relationships always have to be difficult, and hurtful. People often conclude that a new love interest is going to magically solve things you don't like about yourself. This kind of thinking can build resentment towards people and causes bad dating habits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are looking for some alternatives to make your dating experiences more positive and more importantly, more successful, allow us to intervene a little with some handy advice from our relationships guru, Diane Bishop. Diane is a columnist in a leading relationships magazine in Australia, and also hosts a part time segment on national radio. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you believe you need to some how solve all your relationship worries prior to being worthy of finding the partner of your dreams? Are you at that stage where you have decided that there are no more good "ones" available anymore? Or are you placing your trust in the fickle winds of fate and hoping that destiny will simply step in? These visions are dangerous beliefs, and one must shrug off this way of thinking in order to become successful at dating. You don't know it, but you are trapped by a delusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try telling yourself "Love - dating - my perfect relationship is..." and then complete the blank spaces with all the right words such as new beginning, friendly, healthy, helping people, love myself, improve self confidence etc. So when you create this new way of thinking, so long as you stick by it, you will be amazed how changing the small things in your life will start to make a big impact.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5158211409998050611-6359455468619141288?l=personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com/feeds/6359455468619141288/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5158211409998050611&amp;postID=6359455468619141288&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5158211409998050611/posts/default/6359455468619141288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5158211409998050611/posts/default/6359455468619141288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com/2010/04/dating-101-are-dreadful-dating-habits.html' title='Dating 101: Are Dreadful Dating Habits Keeping You Single?'/><author><name>Personal Touch Introduction Service And Social Club For Singles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10043477676585179080</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w0VDztO0VPE/Sif7Wc0IJcI/AAAAAAAAAA4/3sZGauWy5mM/S220/Logo+250x252.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158211409998050611.post-6879626310710185846</id><published>2010-10-14T13:32:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-10-14T13:32:01.995-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dating Articles Of Interest'/><title type='text'>Five Reasons to Use Professional Dating Services</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Five Reasons to Use Professional Dating Services&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By: Allan Tane&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using professional dating services is becoming more commonplace than in other recent history. It's also more accessible. We can meet people online or go to a traditional matchmaker. Professional dating services allow people to meet people they wouldn't otherwise. It takes the pressure off of them and it even improves the chances of your finding a relationship. Some people may scorn you for using a professional dating service, but it's a sound choice. Here's why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Reasons you SHOULD use a professional dating service&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It Takes the Pressure Off of Yourself&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of trying to have a go at relationships on your own, like most people do all their lives, professional dating services do all the work. They find the people and get the relationship started and all you have to do is decide if it's going to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matched With People Compatible to You and Your Personality&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professional dating services evaluate your personality types and match you with people who complement your personality. They look at factors like energy levels, education, communication skills, intimacy levels, finance, predictability, outlook on life, ambitions, shared expectations, emotionality and decision-making styles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get to Meet a Variety of People Outside of Your Social Circle&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professional dating services have connections. You're not the only person looking to make a match, and they can hook you up with a number of potential customers. As you go about your day, you meet and spend time with the same type of people. When you use the services of a matchmaker, they find people you've never met and have access to people in areas near and far, so you can meet the right person for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn About Yourself and What You Want in a Person&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matchmakers offering dating services say that most people say they don't care so much about looks, they care more about someone who shares their interests and goals. However, they add that when it comes down to it, what they actually want is someone who's attractive. Through meeting with a professional matchmaker, you have the opportunity to learn about the type of things you value in relationships and how to make it work for you. You'll also learn about yourself as you answer the matchmaker's questions and discover the types of people the professional dating service puts you with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Chances of Finding a Relationship With Someone Are Greater &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professional dating services have great odds. They increase the opportunity for you to meet someone who is compatible with you because they get to know you and try to match your preferences and personality with other people who have similar personality types. Your values are important when a professional matchmaker introduces you to someone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using a professional matchmaker might seem unusual, but the success rate is higher. You aren't the only person who is responsible for you to meet Mr. Or Ms. Right. Likewise, a professional dating service is reliable and trustworthy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allen Tane is an experienced writer on the professional dating market and dating industry.

Many people get it confused with traditional online dating but it is in a completely different ball game all together. It does have its roots in online dating but has become a separate category altogether.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matchmaking dating evolved from the early stages of online dating. As online dating became increasingly popular the demand for more serious and long lasting relationships grew. Many customers were unsatisfied with the current online dating system which revolved around random people filling out a survey, entering a database and having computer software match people up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some customers didn't like it because it produced cheap and ineffective dates. They found themselves going on multiple dates only to discover that their traditional way of dating was more effective. The matches seemed a bit odd and even bizarre at times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other customers were dissatisfied because of the large parameters placed within the site. For example some people would be matched that in actuality didn't match at all. This went back to using the faulty system of computer software. Relationships involve people and no matter how scientific they try to make it, people are best at matching people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was out of these concerns that matchmaking dating was birthed. Matchmaking dating doesn't focus on large numbers of people joining their sites. Their focus is on quality over quantity. Matchmakers want to see the relationships they produce to last. They want to see them be fulfilling, enjoyable and mature. They are not out to promote casual dating or dating just for fun. Their primary focus is to establish a system that is primarily based on people that is effective and affordable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matchmaking dating begins online like online dating but after the initial information is uploaded, the client actually talks to a matchmaker. Some matchmakers have their clients come into the office for an interview. This is the best way to get to know someone and assess their needs, desires and the best matches for him or her. After the interview the matchmaker takes care of the rest. They dig through their files, use their professional training and discusses it with other matchmakers. Once they've done their homework, the client is then given some potential matches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matchmakers like to promote local singles. Because their main goal is to produce lasting relationships they feel that being able to see the person on a daily basis helps establish a healthy and vital relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matchmaking dating has proven to be the most effective way to date in the 21st Century. It is highly professional, effective and scientifically based. Matchmakers take the time to consider all approaches and possibilities when dealing with people. You can look at matchmakers as a more holistic approach to dating. They want to see you succeed in a lasting relationship. They are based on human principles that respect and give back love, peace and healthy relationships. If you're looking for a mature and stable romantic relationship, matchmaking dating is the best option for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Smithe is an experienced writer on seeking dating and relationships.

We may have failed to give them a chance, because they didn’t fit into the stereotype society tells us the perfect partner must fit.&lt;br /&gt;If you keep your mind open and try not to judge potential partners on superficial factors, you will broaden your horizons greatly. You will also be much more likely to avoid the unhappiness that can be caused by choosing a partner based on external factors alone, such as looks or income.&lt;br /&gt;I am not saying that you should necessarily form a relationship with a person you find unattractive. If you look a little harder and longer at a person though, you find that attractiveness goes beyond mere physical features. An average looking person with a zest for life and a sense of humor can be much more attractive than a beautiful person with a negative attitude.&lt;br /&gt;It is not wise to form a relationship based on money either. Not that there is anything wrong with falling in love with a rich man or woman. Just don’t make that the basis of the romance. For a happy relationship, there must be more reasons for being with a person than just wanting to share their financial success.&lt;br /&gt;If money is important to you, then it is quite reasonable to want a partner who is also motivated to have material success. But remember, fortunes can be made and lost. Look for a richness of character in a mate as a priority. Then whatever ups and downs life brings, you will have a solid foundation beneath your relationship.&lt;br /&gt;On the subject of financial abundance, it is much better to create the mind-set and attitudes in yourself that bring you money directly, rather than wanting a partner to provide it for you. If you can create everything you desire in your own life, then your perfect partner can be your equal, not your ‘other half.’&lt;br /&gt;The term other half implies that you are only half a person and you need to find a partner that has what you are lacking, and lacks what you have. The idea that you cannot be complete on your own is wrong and damaging. It discourages us from being whole and healthy in our selves, and encourages us to look for what we need from others.&lt;br /&gt;If you focus on creating everything you need in your own life, then your perfect partner will be able complement you, not need to complete you.&lt;br /&gt;To keep your mind open while looking for a partner, think about some of the social ‘rules’ of relationships that limit our choices. We are told that a man should be taller and older than his partner. With these and any other limiting ‘rules,’ the only way to deal with them is to consider each one, and whether it actually matters to you or not.&lt;br /&gt;Let’s say you are a woman. You meet a man who is smart, funny, kind, and adventurous. Being with him makes you happy, but he is a few inches shorter than you. Does it matter?&lt;br /&gt;If it really does matter to you then you have your answer. For many of us though, if we look beyond what we have been taught we should care about, and what other people might think, we will find that it really doesn’t bother us too much.&lt;br /&gt;The same can apply to age, race, religion, skin color, even gender.&lt;br /&gt;While you may have been raised to believe that your perfect partner should be a tall, dark, handsome, white male, if you keep an open mind, you may discover that your truly ideal partner is someone quite different.&lt;br /&gt;The only rule that is worth following in the pursuit of love and happiness is to trust your heart and keep your mind open.&lt;br /&gt;Your perfect partner is simply someone that makes you feel really, really good, just by being around. And there are no age or height limits on that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Author:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A native of Australia, Amanda Harvey is currently based in Taiwan.

over $5,000, theft and personation of a lawyer. He was also wanted for parole violations on similar convictions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Calgary police said Friday that public tips led authorities to Duncan in Ontario, where he was arrested by members of the Niagara Regional Police Service earlier this week.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ryan is accused of bilking a widow in her late 50s out of more than $25,000, the bulk of her life savings, in less than a month. The victim's friend had met Ryan through an online dating site.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2002, Ryan, who worked as a paralegal, was sentenced in Newfoundland and Labrador to two years in prison for a series of fraudulent schemes involving his clients. They lost more than $160,000.&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5158211409998050611-6846794384586457641?l=personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com/feeds/6846794384586457641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5158211409998050611&amp;postID=6846794384586457641&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5158211409998050611/posts/default/6846794384586457641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5158211409998050611/posts/default/6846794384586457641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com/2009/06/update-alleged-calgary-fraudster-caught.html' title='***UPDATE*** Alleged Calgary fraudster caught in Ontario'/><author><name>Personal Touch Introduction Service And Social Club For Singles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10043477676585179080</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w0VDztO0VPE/Sif7Wc0IJcI/AAAAAAAAAA4/3sZGauWy5mM/S220/Logo+250x252.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158211409998050611.post-5560891700562564147</id><published>2009-06-28T09:44:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-29T09:49:00.382-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dating Articles Of Interest'/><title type='text'>How Attracting a New Partner Can Make You Feel Young at Heart</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Everyone wants to be in love; the excitement and the thrill you get when you are in love with someone is the best feeling in the world. Finding love after a certain age is not difficult, but what you do miss out on is the excitement and the thrill you would have felt when you were in your 20s. So what has changed? Well life has changed and you with it.&lt;/p&gt;You may not be in your 20s anymore and you may be unattached now. You may have either lost your spouse or divorced or maybe you were just too busy with your career to give love a chance. Now is the time for change. Change not only where your love life is concerned, but also where your emotions are concerned. Being super sensitive, emotional and still holding on to your past is going to get you nowhere. One of the first things you need to do is let go of your emotional baggage. Ever wondered why the term 'emotional baggage' is used, because it weighs you down and does not let you move on. If your spouse has left you for someone younger; well think of it this way, it is his or her loss and your gain. Who wants to be married to a person who denies age? You are better off and better things will come to you if you are open to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe your partner is no more. You could be grieving and can't think of life without the person. We all have had to deal with the loss of a loved one at some point in life. The hurting will stop and you will move on if you let yourself go. You will find someone to love if you give yourself and the other person a chance. The most important thing you have to do is let go of all the emotional baggage you have been carrying around and embrace your new love life with enthusiasm and happiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When someone is attracted to you, or when some one thinks you are 'hot', it is the best feeling in the world. Even flattery is a great morale booster. Your personal style, the way you dress, the way you sport your hair, the way you walk and the way in which you carry yourself are all part of your appeal. Sprucing up your style goes a long way in attracting someone. All you need to do is watch a few shows of 'What not to wear' by Triny and Suzanna or a few shows where Oprah and her guests show you how look years younger by the way you dress and carry yourself. Just a few changes and the 'new' you will be all set for a life filled with love and a healthy active social life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you feel 'young at heart', you will look young. This boils down to confidence and self-belief. If you think you are looking young, you are going to portray that to the world that spring in your step and the bounce in your hair. You are going to feel young only when you believe you are young!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Source: &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Della_Cory" target="_new"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Della_Cory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Attracting-a-New-Partner-Can-Make-You-Feel-Young-at-Heart&amp;amp;id=2298776" target="_new"&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?How-Attracting-a-New-Partner-Can-Make-You-Feel-Young-at-Heart&amp;amp;id=2298776&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5158211409998050611-5560891700562564147?l=personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com/feeds/5560891700562564147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5158211409998050611&amp;postID=5560891700562564147&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5158211409998050611/posts/default/5560891700562564147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5158211409998050611/posts/default/5560891700562564147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-attracting-new-partner-can-make-you.html' title='How Attracting a New Partner Can Make You Feel Young at Heart'/><author><name>Personal Touch Introduction Service And Social Club For Singles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10043477676585179080</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w0VDztO0VPE/Sif7Wc0IJcI/AAAAAAAAAA4/3sZGauWy5mM/S220/Logo+250x252.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158211409998050611.post-4760949715815608978</id><published>2009-06-10T10:18:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-29T11:11:17.914-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dating Articles Of Interest'/><title type='text'>Warrant out for man accused of defrauding Calgary widow</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="storyhead"&gt;          &lt;h1 class="headline"&gt;Warrant out for man accused of defrauding Calgary widow&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;h3 class="deck"&gt;Former paralegal completed prison term in N.L. for fraud&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;h4 class="lastupdated clearfix"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Last Updated:   Thursday, June  4, 2009 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span class="d-inline" id="socialhead"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2009/06/04/calgary-polcie-fraud-warrant-woman.html#socialcomments"&gt;&lt;em class="cmt"&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2009/06/04/calgary-polcie-fraud-warrant-woman.html#" title="Recommend this story" onclick="CBC.APP.PLUCK.Article.recommend(this,'2000309333');return false;"&gt;&lt;em class="rec"&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;h5 class="byline"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/credit.html"&gt;CBC News&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h5&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;             &lt;span class="photo left" style="width: 222px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/images/news/photos/2009/06/04/cgy-duncan-ryan.jpg" alt="Calgary police are looking for Duncan James Ryan." /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Calgary police are looking for Duncan James Ryan.&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;em class="credit"&gt;(Calgary Police Service)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;Calgary police are looking for a convicted con man who is accused of defrauding a woman of more than $25,000.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A province-wide warrant was issued Thursday for Duncan James Ryan, 47, also known as James Ryan, of no fixed address. He's wanted for fraud over $5,000, theft and impersonation of a lawyer.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The victim, who is a widow in her late 50s, needed some minor legal matters dealt with and was introduced to Ryan in mid-March by a friend, said Det. Steve Harris.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In less than two weeks, the woman had lost the bulk of her life savings.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The victim's friend had met Ryan through an online dating site, said Harris.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Like any fraud artist, he's obviously very smooth, good personality, very convincing," he said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2002, Ryan, who worked as a paralegal, was sentenced in Newfoundland to two years in prison for a series of fraudulent schemes involving his clients. They lost more than $160,000.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ryan is currently also wanted on Canada-wide warrants for parole violations.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Harris said Calgary investigators are also assisting in fraud investigations in Red Deer and Kelowna where a man has been meeting mature, single women through online dating services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5158211409998050611-4760949715815608978?l=personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com/feeds/4760949715815608978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5158211409998050611&amp;postID=4760949715815608978&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5158211409998050611/posts/default/4760949715815608978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5158211409998050611/posts/default/4760949715815608978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com/2009/06/warrant-out-for-man-accused-of.html' title='Warrant out for man accused of defrauding Calgary widow'/><author><name>Personal Touch Introduction Service And Social Club For Singles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10043477676585179080</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w0VDztO0VPE/Sif7Wc0IJcI/AAAAAAAAAA4/3sZGauWy5mM/S220/Logo+250x252.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158211409998050611.post-922062695158233396</id><published>2009-06-04T11:09:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-04T11:14:29.514-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Press'/><title type='text'>Calgary Herald Press Release</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5158211409998050611-922062695158233396?l=personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com/feeds/922062695158233396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5158211409998050611&amp;postID=922062695158233396&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5158211409998050611/posts/default/922062695158233396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5158211409998050611/posts/default/922062695158233396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://personaltouchintroductionservice.blogspot.com/2009/06/calgary-herald-press-release.html' title='Calgary Herald Press Release'/><author><name>Personal Touch Introduction Service And Social Club For Singles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10043477676585179080</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w0VDztO0VPE/Sif7Wc0IJcI/AAAAAAAAAA4/3sZGauWy5mM/S220/Logo+250x252.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158211409998050611.post-7747374551515146178</id><published>2009-04-17T11:26:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-04-18T11:28:40.738-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dating Articles Of Interest'/><title type='text'>On Line Dating Scam</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Article Summary&lt;/strong&gt;: You saw their picture and could not believe your good fortune. You met a hottie and are naturally anxious to explore this potential relationship further. So are they but for totally different reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On Line Dating Scam:&lt;/strong&gt; What You See Is Not What You Get by &lt;a href="http://www.upublish.info/profile/D.-Campbell/31041"&gt;D. Campbell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Federal Trade Commission, for the eighth year in a row identity theft tops the list as the number one consumer complaint. Identity theft is when someone steals your personal information in order to gain access to your finances or just use your information as jumping off point to open new lines of credit and go on spending sprees. When all is said and done the bills that they accumulated land right on your front door.&lt;br /&gt;There is a strong connection between identity theft and online dating scams. Not so much opening up financial accounts in your name (although if scammers can do that they will) but to use a key piece of your private information to con money from on line dating participants. It’s the stealing of someone’s photo.&lt;br /&gt;There are tons of photos online. Not avatars that we choose as stand-ins but actual photos of people with friends, family, their pets or by themselves. No surprise there, particularly with the internet becoming a more social environment. Whether instant messaging or joining a shared network, people want to connect with the person behind the keyboard. It also helps when doing business on line to see the actual face of the person attempting to sell you the product. This move towards a more interactive and personal cyberspace is becoming a windfall for the scam artists.&lt;br /&gt;According to the non profit organization, the National Consumer League, scams of the heart rank as one of the top ten swindles on the internet. Victims on average usually get fleeced to the tune of three thousand dollars.&lt;br /&gt;These scammers have learned to not only steal photos but modify them. This can be done by photoshopping which if done effectively can alter the picture while still making it look original and untouched. Once scammers have secured a picture that they are sure will get their victims heart to racing then it’s time for the sweet talk.&lt;br /&gt;Mary Leal a criminal justice expert told CBS’ The Early Show, “It is so easy to get sucked in; especially if you are vulnerable and you’re willingly to allow it to come into your life. And then once you’re hooked it’s like an addiction.”&lt;br /&gt;We all should know better but playing on someone’s emotions is a powerful weapon. In the hands of a professional it can be overwhelming. Therefore it is vital to occasionally take a step back and examine what’s happening.&lt;br /&gt;While there may be a number of clues such as poor grammar or way too much sugar talk, the absolute obvious sign is that somewhere down the line the conversation will turn to money; whether in the form of a hard luck story or requiring your “assistance” in transferring currency.&lt;br /&gt;Identity theft and online dating scams in the give the appearance of running on separate tracks but in reality it is all comes down to the same thing; get money from your pocket into theirs.&lt;br /&gt;Article written by Daryl Campbell at The Relationship Tip.
