Miss Know It All Answers Your Questions on Dating, Love, and Romance

Miss Know It All

Do you believe in love at first sight and why? AK

As to whether I believe in love at first sight, I can’t really say that I do. I think it is more of an infatuation or attraction to that person. Sometimes it is called lust. You can be turned on by someone but whether it is love, at first sight, has a different meaning depending on the person and what you are really seeking.

Have you ever had a horrific breakup and, if so, how did you handle it? SG

I have never had a horrific breakup, but you may find this post helpful: http://www.oneworldsinglesblog.net/2017/04/when-relationship-is-over-that-ship-has.html

In your opinion, what is the biggest mistake most people make after a breakup that inhibits that person from moving on? S

I find that many people will stay stuck on the reasons why the relationship ended rather than learn why it didn’t last. The following post may help answer your question: http://www.oneworldsinglesblog.net/2017/04/when-relationship-is-over-that-ship-has.html

Do you have specific rules for dating, if so what are they and what are the benefits of using them? A

If it’s the first date, the only rule I have is to remember it is just a date, period.

When going on a first date, what are the types of questions one should ask? V

That’s a tough question; it will depend on your objectives, but you may find this article helpful as to questions you should never ask on a first date:

http://www.oneworldsinglesblog.net/2014/03/questions-you-should-never-ask-on-your.html

What has been the best experience you have had on a first date? A

There were never any expectations that something more would happen on that first date.

In your experience, what is the prevalent difficulty singles find when making an effort to find a partner? CB

I believe that many singles have unrealistic aspirations when it comes to choosing a partner, for example, looking for that ‘perfect man or woman’ which can be a disappointment when that person doesn’t measure up to your wishes.

Which type of relationship has a better chance of endurance, a composed relationship or one filled with fervor and why? V 

This is a good question and will vary depending on the wants and needs of the couple. I believe for any relationship to endure, there should be a combination of both, filled with passion, respect, compassion, and understanding. I know of couples, who have been together for over 25 years, and they will tell you that for a relationship to sustain, the couple should have the same values and objectives along with a give and take attitude.

What was it that drew you to this specific theme for your blog? V

Someone else on this site had asked a similar question. It was a way to introduce my now defunct online dating site. Before I started my blog, I had published two newsletters that featured advice on dating, relationships and other topics of interest that were sent through snail mail. Once I got on the Internet, I started a blog in 2001 titled HMCS Romance International, which was geared toward people searching for adult contact. In 2006, I decided to start One World Singles Blog as a way to advertise and market my online dating site, but now I am concentrating on my blog.

What are some ideas of how a person can deal with the lure of contacting a one-night stand? J

I am not sure if I understand your question. Are you asking what you should do to encourage a one-night stand (which I don’t recommend for various reasons) or how to avoid someone who wants to just have a one-night stand?

What is the appropriate course of action for dealing with people who have misrepresented themselves online? T123

If you are talking about someone misrepresenting him or herself on an online dating site, you can contact the dating site directly or if you are in the USA, contact the Attorney General’s Office in the state where the site is operating. Most dating sites will deny any type of responsibilities or liabilities if you decide to meet someone online and you become the victim of a criminal act perpetrated by that person.

What do you want the world to know about you and how do you hope to impart this information to your blog? J

I have always believed in sharing information that improves the quality of life among individuals; when I help others, I am also helping myself. I will never forget when a close friend said, “If you don’t share the power, you will lose it.” And this is how I share what I know, whether it is through my writings, books or through the positive and life-saving messages found on my Tees.

Which social media sites have you used to promote your blog posts and why have you chosen these specific sites? A

I use Facebook and Twitter because these networks automatically feed my posts, which are available to my followers and friends. I am on Facebook more often because there is no limit to the number of characters you can use when making announcements.

How does a person handle a horrible first date after matching and interacting well with the person online?

Some people will never show you who they really are on an online dating site, which can be different when you meet that person face to face. You will have to decide if you just want to have a pleasant online connection only, but if your interaction with this person turns out to be bad on your first date, you may want to nip it in the bud and not see that person again.

What was one of the most heartbreaking things you have had to write about on your blog? MP

I made a decision to never write about heartbreaking stories on my blog. The mission of my blog is to provide informative, fun, and entertaining articles. Now, if you are interested in reading some fictional heartbreaking stories, you can check out my books at the following sites:

Due to the diverse range of your topics, have you ever considered writing a self-help book and why? B

Funny you should ask this question. Back in 1982 while I was on jury duty, an editor with a well-known book publishing company thought I should write a book on home management since my degree is in Home Economics. At that time I was not interested in writing a book. That was the furthest thing from my mind. However, something had happened that made me write Making Dollar$ And Cents Out Of Online Dating, which is not a self-help book, but the trails and tribulations I had face while starting an online dating site. But it may help someone who is contemplating on starting an online dating or any online business. But to answer your question, I have no intentions of writing a self-help book since this is not a passion of mine. I love writing stories that involve people who are searching for love and up with broken hearts and financially broke. In other words, my books do not have happily-ever-have endings. And these are the books I enjoy writing.

What safety measures do you use to secure your blog from hackers? D

I use McAfee software, which is excellent for blocking hackers and other threats. My blog is on Blogger and my web browser is Google Chrome which is good when it comes to blocking hackers.

Have you ever had an individual comment on your blog about an urgent life-threatening situation, if so how did you respond, if not how would you respond? @F

I have never had this issue regarding a life-threatening situation. Since I am not an expert when it comes to life-threatening circumstances, I would encourage that person to contact law enforcement or a professional who specializes in that particular threat.

The Signs of a Failing Relationship by Lizzie Wright

Being in love is one of the best feelings we as human beings experience throughout our lives. While this is true, being in a failing relationship gives us the opposite emotions. According to the experts, spotting the signs that your relationship is about to fail prevents further emotional damages. So, what are the tell-tales that you’re about to lose your other half?

Lack of Communication

Regardless of the reason for your failing relationship, the lack of communication is a clear sign that you are about to lose your partner. Normally, we long to communicate with our partner even if we’re living together in the same house. Once you’ve noticed a decline, disinterest, or disengagement in conversation, then your relationship is in the wrong path.

Constant Criticism

A strong relationship has a solid support from one another. They don’t comment on the negative sides of each other. Instead, they try to work out and encourage one another to improve. On the other hand, a failing relationship constantly involves regular criticism. As a result, couples engage in a regular word fight that will eventually ruin their respect for each other. In the end, constant criticism will ruin the love and bond.

The Fighting is Becoming a Habit

You were once a great couple as you were starting but ended in a horrible relationship because of regular bickering. If you’re fighting more each day, then you’re probably heading the wrong way. While it’s normal even in a solid relationship to have misunderstandings, it’s quite abnormal for serious couples to fight every day. As much as possible, they try to understand each other and strive to be more patient.

It’s No Longer About Us

When your motto in a relationship is no longer about “us”, then that’s a crystal-clear sign that your special bond is in jeopardy.

These are some of the common indicators that you should move on with your life as a single person or find a better replacement who can live harmoniously with you. If you’re not yet open to the idea of a new relationship, perhaps you might want to try dating an escort.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to chat with One World Singles Magazine Blog.

Who or what inspired you to become a dating/relationship coach. I was inspired to become a dating coach because I was a serial dater. I would date so many different women and then I realized that I was really good at talking to women. Also, I’m really passionate about helping other people in their dating lives. I went through so many mistakes and I didn’t want people to go through the same things I went through.

You have written several books on dating/relationships, which came first, the writing or the coaching. The coaching came first. I actually used to coach some of my close friends before I even really considered taking this seriously. Then I started to make videos and write articles and post them up online. I got such a great response from people from all around the world. I would get emails from London and Australia. After that I decided to put out my first book called “The Magnificent 10 Crucial Dating Tips for Men” then I wrote my second book which was for women called “It’s Your Fault You’re Single: Tips on finding Mr. Right” and finally my third book “How to Have Sex with 2 Women a Day”

You are also a rap artist and an actor. In fact, one of your books, “How to have Sex with 2 Women a Day,” became a short film. What type of feedback have you received about the book and the film? How to Have Sex with 2 Women a Day the book is basically a “How to” step by step book that teaches men how to step up their game and have more options to have more sex and dates in their dating lives. The feedback has been awesome. The funny thing is I had a lot of women who were mad at me for writing that book. What women don’t realize is that book also helps them out in the long run because when men learn how to talk to women and have more options to be with the type of women they like to be with then they will make better choices if they choose to stick with one girl at the end of the day. Most guys just take what they can get because they have no game. So I always ask women do you want to be with a guy who just settles down with you because he feels like you are the only woman he can get, or do you want a man who knows he can get any woman he wants but decides to stick with you because he knows you’re the right woman for him.

I made the film as a way to promote the book. It has been getting a great response. I had no idea it was going to come out that good. There is actually no written script; it was all improv. I actually had a few celebs hit me up telling me how much they enjoyed the film. I want to make it a full-length feature film soon.

As a dating and relationship coach, what are some of the most valuable lessons you have learned? I learned that you have to be a good listener and you have to be honest. 

What advice would you give someone who is thinking about becoming a dating and relationship coach? I would say that if you are going to be a dating and relationship coach that you do your research and you should have a dating life. You should also be honest with the public and not do it just for money.

Are you planning to write any more books in the near future? I have another book coming out for women called “The Magnificent 10 Crucial Dating Tips for Women, and I’m also writing books for teaching men and women how to be successful with online dating.

How can our readers get in touch with you? You can contact me at www.Mrlocario.com or my blog site http://www.ilooksexynaked.com. You can also follow me on twitter at @realmrlocario. If anyone wants private coaching they can contact me at mrlocario@gmail.com

Thank you for allowing us to dialogue with you. Do you have any words of wisdom for singles that are forever searching for true love? I would tell anyone who is single and who is looking for someone special is to make sure you love yourself first and you know what you want out of a relationship. If you love yourself and know what you want, you will attract people who want the same things that you want.

A How-to Book on Understanding the Woman in Your Life

You meet a woman, and it is love at first sight. The two of you go through the hot and heavy dating phase. In your mind, it will be a never-ending blissful and romantic relationship, but something goes haywire and the connection is doomed before it gets off the ground. Your scratching you head and asking, “What went wrong? I thought I was doing everything right for my woman.” Don’t fret, the answers are in the new book, 101 Behaviors a Guy Needs to Understand about his Woman by James Ian Woode.

The book, which debuts on February 14, 2011, is not just for men, but women will also find the book very informative and laced with witty advice. It will provide the reader with the necessary skills to keep the woman in your life happy. Starting with the dating and relationship phase and moving on to marriage, the author covers important factors that a man must consider, such as family, finances, appearance, personal hygiene, sharing in the housekeeping, time management, driving skills, dining do's and don’ts, dancing gestures, trust issues, intimacy, chivalry, and loyalty, just to name a few. Having a clear understanding of these important points is a must if the relationship is going to be sustainable.

The author does not claim to be a relationship expert, but the many behaviors that are discussed in the book, which he says, “Are fairly typical during the dating phase of the relationship,” will allow you to work toward developing a solid and lasting bond.

To give you a peak inside, here are few excerpts from 101 Behaviors a Guy Needs to Understand about his Woman:

“Your woman comes home and can’t wait to take a bath, which you already started for her. She towels off and since the water was so soothing she has already envisioned how she wants to look for you tonight. With her hair up and her shoulders peeking out above the cloth that she is wrapped in, she opens her panty drawer and notices that things have been shifted around. Her first inclination is that maybe she left it that way but then she remembers that she placed the new pair of silky panties in the front right corner and not tucked under the ugly Barbie ones that read “you KEN enter.” Believe me when I say that she knows her panties whereabouts better than you.”

“So you’re sitting there among her friends and trying your hardest to demonstrate how wonderful you are and how they should gladly accept you as a mate for your woman. However, your woman isn’t giving you the opportunity to answer any of the several questions flying your way. Your typically reserved babe leaps to intercept questions and responds for you. This is driving you nuts but you know you can’t tell her that, or her friends, at least not right now. The other ladies present take everything your woman says as gold and you realize that even though the work is being done for you, you would like to show that you can stand on your own two feet.”

“You’re newly married and over the past few months, your lovely woman has been providing you with some serious gourmet goodies. You have no trouble shoveling those beauties down your throat and compliment her on her skills in the kitchen. Over time, your gourmet babe realizes that you don’t really participate anymore in helping with her food creations. She starts giving you little messages like, “Hey honey, will you come help me in the kitchen please.” Unfortunately for her, the game is on and you don’t move from the couch. So, she throws a spoonful of handmade pasta at your head.”

“The day is going great and you and your bride-pride have been hanging out all day together. After walking through the park you decide to stop at a small deli to get a nice salad and sit on the upper deck. You hand over the credit card to the cashier who returns and whispers that it has been declined. You insist trying again before your woman sees the concern and embarrassment on your face but it’s declined once more. You turn to your babe and she rolls her eyes at you. Her expression is one look away from vomiting as she smacks you on the back and asks, “What happened to our money?”

“Recently, your woman purchased you a gym membership for a birthday present and, with her persuasive smile, has stated that she would love for the two of you to work out together. In bed, you are no longer snuggly material as she is having difficulty wrapping her arms around you. She frowns when you raise that cheeseburger to your mouth and mumbles that you need to go on a diet or something. Her nagging has become quite the routine in your conversation and she even threatens to stop feeding you until you drop a few pounds. Your woman is constantly on you about how unattractive you’re becoming and is embarrassed by the plump man you’ve become!”

“For the next few days, your woman doesn’t really say much to you and your response to her is fairly equal. The thought of watching an adult movie with your woman seems less than gentlemanly to you and you pride yourself on being the guy that you are. You tell your woman that you aren’t comfortable enough to do this and she gets frustrated with you because you are not even willing to explore other things with her. The next night in bed, your woman just lays there while you try to prove to her that you’re good enough to meet all of her needs. Unfortunately, she has other things on her mind and isn’t getting into you as much as you hoped for. Your woman asks you to get off of her and let her go to sleep. She tells you that she isn’t willing to open up for you either!”
