In the current issue of Glamour magazine – not that I ever read it, BTW – First Lady Michelle Obama gives some amazingly sound advice on dating. Michelle just exudes common sense and it applies to her rule for dating:
“Cute’s good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, Who are you as a person? That’s the advice I would give to women: Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesn’t know. And, more important, how does he treat you? When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good. You should never feel less than. You should never doubt yourself. You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole. And if you’re in that relationship and you’re dating, then my advice is, don’t get married.”
Now that’s great advice for both women and men!

I recently got divorced after 5 years of marrage. It is strange being single again after all these years. Since my wife and I split up, I have been searching the internet looking for solid dating tips and advice. I found the information here to be insightful and helpful for anyone currently single or in a dead-end relationship. Keep up the good work!
