By Ana Smith

The benefits of meeting new people, ease of use and constant support and friendship combined with the increase in confidence experienced by many members are not be sniffed at.

However being one of the many AIDS or HIV positive singles is even worse. Dating takes on added pressure, you have a problem; do you tell people at the onset or worry about telling them later? It can make you anxious and sometimes you feel that it is easier just not to bother.

Here is where the HIV dating sites come into their own. They are fun, easy to use and less expensive than trying to meet new people in the conventional way, especially as it is easy to talk to others all over the country at a click of a mouse. Then there is the added bonus of not needing to tell anyone of your HIV or AIDS, they already know and they do not mind one little bit.

Flirting Tips for men or women

Want to know why nice guys struggle to attract women? The problem can be that nice guys sometimes come off as a little too nice and have no idea how to use flirting tips for guys. Think about how you interact with women and let them know you find them attractive. For guys who take the “pal” approach they interact with a woman by becoming just another girlfriend. Their “girlfriend” shares all her personal secrets inviting him into her every thought and emotion. Even discussing with him past sexual experiences and giving him updates on the guy, she is currently dating.

For the nice guy this is sheer torture! Being forced to hear romantic details about the girl he is secretly in love with but did not have the courage or ability to let her know. If he had been aware of flirting tips for guys, he would have been able to avoid being placed in the friend zone.

If you end up being placed in the friend zone of a girl you want to have sex with you have committed the cardinal sin of dating, allowing yourself to confuse being friendly with a woman and being intimate with her. Of course, to sleep with a girl you have to be able to communicate some information with her and carry on a conversation. When this communication progresses to the point where you are going shopping together and she invites you over for teatime you have let things get way off track guys!

Set the boundaries

With flirting tips for guys, you firmly establish how you want a woman to see you within the first minutes of meeting her. When guys are placed in the friend zone, it is because they failed to show a sexual interest in a woman. If you meet a woman and are friendly but make no moves, she has no reason to think you have a sexual interest in her. If you touch her check, lean into her when she talks, stare into her eyes and give her compliments she is aware that you want something more than a friendship.

Use flirting tips for guys that show off the alpha attitude

There is a reason nice guys are placed in the friend zone but never the rocker, rapper or bad boy. It is all about the vibe they put off, shown in the way they carry themselves. Men are meant to dominate women, this simply means being the type of man who is confident, secure in himself and does not allow women or other men to pull his strings or treat him like a puppet.

Become more alpha in your behaviors by recognizing you deserve to have sex with your best friend. Never let a woman run over you or talk down too you. Instead use flirting tips for men to show masculinity in your walk, the way you speak and the body language you use when out with women.

Have an adventurous personality

Guys who get the girls are willing to be bold, be aggressive and are unable to pin down. If you are the type of guy who follows a rigid schedule, never takes a chance and always heads out at the same time every night to the same club and keeps hitting on the same type of girl you are guaranteeing your own failure.

Guess what guys there is no ONE perfect type of girl. Instead of always hitting on the pale skin blonde haired and blue-eyed girl, ask out the perky brunette instead or go to a different hang where you are sure to run across different types of women.

A club in a different neighborhood, an after hours bookstore, responding to a flyer talking about a local festival, hobbyist clubs, conventions, fairs and conferences increase your chances of connecting with single women. Even responding to an ad in the newspaper or searching for girls online are great ways of meeting new women.

Come out of the friend zone

Once a guy is placed in the friend zone it is not a death trap, flirting tips for guys can show men how to break out of the friend zone and get back to potential lover status. The girl you want already considers you her friend so take advantage of this relationship; ask her out for an evening with just the two of you. Take her to an upscale restaurant or party, allowing the perfect atmosphere to create intimacy between you both. Be sure to compliment her throughout the night, make and hold eye contact, smile in her direction and make her feel like she is the only woman in the room.

We are constantly dealing with members who are downright mean and offensive. Angry and bitter at the world. A member gets a virtual kiss from a member of the same sex,  and not being gay, emails the support staff, angry and accusing the support staff of it being our fault.

Hey sometimes people send VK’s to the members of the same sex just seeing what will happen and not worrying if the person is gay or straight. sometimes it’s a scammer that got by us in the first place just trying to make sme sort of contact with anyone in order to try to scam money. what ever the situation is, be careful. Be they scammers or angry people, just be careful.

We have a small staff here, and sometimes it really can get to a person the offensive emails and abusive language. We’ve be the longest running HIV+ dating service around, for more than 13 years. People email us hoping we go bankrupt, or something terrible happens to us and sometimes they attack us personally. Most of the time we just say thank you and move on. We’ve had to let one employee go for responding in a manner that, while we understand why he did it, we still couldn’t have them on here anymore.

We started out as an HIV+ Dating service for heterosexuals only, when we first started. Then the gay community started asking if they could post ads on here as well, and at first we weren’t sure what to do. We decided that anyone who is HIV+ or has AIDS is allowed to post here and we changed the verbage. Now this is just a dating service for HIV+ Individuals. One customer either misread the email we sent them, or they were just another angry person, but they responded with an email saying they were tired of how gays were treated as second class and this and that. We had to try to tell this person they probably read the email wrong. Eventually we had to ask this person to go to another dating site as he was just causing trouble for the support staff.

Either way, just be careful out there with whom you choose to date. You just never know who you are going to meet, and meet in a public place.

Be sure to check out our new sister site exclusively for the gay community. www.gayhivpoz.com

Have a great day!

Support.

The Best Internet Dating Sites – How do I find them?

With the explosion of online dating sites has come a virtual “all you can eat buffet” of choices. There are free dating sites, which I don’t recommend but if money is an issue, they are better than nothing. There are the large “Corporation” paid dating sites with many features such as chat, IM and even matchmaking services for profiles.

There are the “more affordable” paid sites with just a few features, and then there are the “special interest” sites. Sites for almost any kind of person you can think of: outdoor and athletic, couch potatoes, religious dating, non-religious dating, gays and lesbians dating. You name it, it’s probably out there. So what’s a person to do with all these choices?

How to choose the site or sites that best fits my needs?

Here are some things to consider when looking for the Best Internet Dating Sites:

(1)    Cost. How much do you want to spend? or how much can you spend each month for your membership or memberships?

(2)    Features. What features are most important to you?

(A)    Profile matching systems? Is this something you really want or need? Would you rather decide who is right for you by yourself?

(B)    Chat and IM’s? Most dating sites offer chat rooms and IM’s services. Does this matter to you or would you be ok just sticking to private email?

(C)    Outside Events? Some sites offer outside events such as speed dating? Is this something you’re interested in?

(D)    Privacy. Some dating sites allow you to limit who can view your picture or your profile. Is this important to you or would you want as much exposure as you can get?

(E)    Safety. There are dating sites who do background checks of all subscribers and to certify their age, marital status and background. Would you feel safer using this feature?

These are a few things you might consider when choosing an online dating service or services. Use some of these to help you choose the best internet dating sites for you.

Good Luck.

Support.
