Q&A FORUM:
Questions From Other Singles Like You
Wondering about Speed Dating events or how Pre-Dating does them? Maybe just a relationship question in general? Some other people did as well and here are their questions to us.
If you have a question, simply email us at Questions@Pre-Dating.com and if selected for our next Newsletter you'll get a complimentary ticket to one of our events.
QUESTION #1:
Dear Pre-Dating,
I found someone GREAT! But he is ready to get married, while I enjoy dating him casually and go back and forth between doubt and excitement, HELP!
Answer from Pre-Dating
Dear "On the Fence":
Ok, so you found someone who wants to settle down, GREAT! But what's that?! You aren't ready?! This is a NORMAL feeling (It's called cold feet)! You have been enjoying your casual dating, and BAM! You are at a crossroad, and you think to yourself, "I can either settle down, or try to find someone else, possibly better then this person."
Here is where you have to be completely honest with the person you are dating and tell them EXACTLY how you feel. In every relationship, especially in the beginning, both partners should sit down and discuss the items that they enjoy about the other person and the items that drive them crazy. These thoughts should be shared in a constructive way to inform the person of their good and bad qualities as it relates to you. At the end of this conversation, you should be at a point of pure honesty and you both need to evaluate, either together or separately, if this is a worthwhile venture. More often then not, couples that do this excercise realize that settling down with this person is probably the right path for them afterall. You notice that your list of good far out weighs the bad. And hey, they got issues with you too!
Of course sometimes your list of bad may outweigh the good and your path becomes clear as well but as the song says "breaking up is hard to do" and most people tend to stay longer in relationships than they know they should.
In short- be honest with yourself, but don't shortchange yourself. Remember what your mother told you growing up, "the grass is not always greener on the other side."
QUESTION #2:
Dear Pre-Dating,
I am hesitant to try an event, as I feel like this is something people do out of desperation. I am nervous that the people there are not going to be my type and are going to be far below my standards. What are your thoughts?
Answer from Pre-Dating
Dear "Overzealous":
You are not the first person to feel this way, infact, this is one mindset that is most often changed when someone actually attends an event, whether it be ours, or someone elses.
To dive into this question a bit further, do you go out to bars and nightclubs to meet people? Maybe you put a profile online? What's the difference in going to a singles event? Of course there are going to be some people in the room for whom you may not be interested in, however, you will be (not may be, but WILL be) surprised with who you will meet.
A large majority of our client base tends to be busy single professionals who, like yourself, have busy work and social calendars and have little time to find a person they wish to share a romantic connection with. What's 6 minutes anyway? Even if you don't like the person romantically, maybe there is a potential for a business connection or a new friendship. Don't necessarily look at our events as a way to find your next husband or wife (although it happens all the time!), look at them as a night out with the potential of meeting some great people and have a blast. Hey, at least you have something to talk about other then what happened on "Family Guy" at the office Water Cooler the next day, right?!

Roy's Relationship Corner
"What Kind of Partner Are You?"
Part 1: Are You Transparent?
Are you ready for a real relationship? Though we all want to be in a great relationship, most of us haven't thought about or devoted ourselves to a set of commitments or behaviors that form the foundation for authentic intimacy.
In my relationship coaching practice, I often work with my single clients on 10 different commitments that make them the kind of partner the opposite sex dreams of being with.
Over the next 10 installments of this newsletter, we're going to cover these 10 critical commitments. It's my hope that you'll deeply consider each one, and say to yourself, "This is the way I am going to function in my life."
Commitment #1: Transparency
"I commit to revealing (rather than concealing) my thoughts, feelings, choices and decisions. I commit to "living out loud," and being transparent with those I encounter in the dating scene. I will not play games and try to control or manipulate others."
Though the 10 commitments we're going to discuss don't appear in order of importance, this probably is the most important one of all. True intimacy can only occur if you commit to living out loud, being truly honest with what you feel and where you stand.
The people you date need to know what's truly happening inside of you. Transparency and openness must be the primary characteristic of your dating M.O. Concealing or withholding is actually an attempt to control the other person and manipulate the outcome of the relationship. Choose not to play games. Live, date and relate with openness, candor and authenticity.
This commitment is challenging, and it often creates a lot of questions. So if you want to discuss how to apply this commitment to your particular life situation, please reach out to me and take advantage of the FREE 30-minute coaching session I offer to anyone who wants to explore this or any issue that might be keeping them from attract lasting love. You can reach me at roy@coachingwithroy.com and be sure to visit my website at www.coachingwithroy.com.

Hello, I went to one of your speed dating events on feb. 7th 2013 at Cheap, which is where I met my girlfriend turned fiance and now my wife as of April 30th this year! Not sure if you've known any othe people that have got married from the speed dating, but either way thought you'd like to hear it. Thank you!

CRAZY DATING FACT OF THE MONTH
In American society, when a man offers his date his palm face up, he is most likely deeply attracted to the woman. In fact, a human's brain is wired to respond to hand gestures and hand shapes, though the brain's response depends on the man or woman's culture and ethnicity.
