			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dating is a game plain and simple, and with that game come a lot of factors and misconceptions.  One of those misconceptions is that women think they are “getting over” when they get a free drink or dinner from a guy, and they break off contact or don’t give him the phone number.  This concept can be illustrated in the following quote taken from an article written by a woman who was lamenting on why she doesn’t like “nice men”.</p>
<p><em>“On the other hand, to women looking for a quick ego fix or just a free drink, nice guys read “sucker.&#8221; Nice guys are easy to take advantage of and score freebies from. You teach people how to treat you, so if you act insecure and needy, people (and that includes women) will treat you as such. Insecurity is a major turnoff.”</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/drinks.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3335" title="drinks" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/drinks.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="186" /></a>This is the problem with SOME women (please take not that I did not say all women), they think that getting a free drink or dinner is some sort of accomplishment.  These type of women also seem to think that the men they are dealing with are somehow naïve to what they are doing especially when they say things like, &#8220;are going to be right here for a bit, I will be right back&#8221;.  Men are not dumb even the nice ones, just because a guy offers to buy you a drink does not mean he is stupid, trying to get in your pants, or needy.  There are all types of men with different types of intentions, and it&#8217;s up to you to figure them out for each guy; a man buying you a drink is not a sign of insecurity or neediness.</p>
<p>Most of the time the man knows after a few minutes of conversation if the woman is seriously interested or not and often just buys her a drink to be social.  Other times men do this so other women see them socializing with a woman to make them appear more desirable, and it works because women don’t want a man that is standing by himself.  When these type of women get their Amoretto Sour, and come up with some excuse to get out of their with their $6 conquest the man has already started focusing on the next woman walking by.  As for going out to dinner with a man and cutting off contact it is perfectly acceptable to go to dinner with a guy not knowing how interested you are and finding out during the dinner that you aren’t.  There is a subset of women who let men take them out knowing they have no interest in the man from the beginning, just so they can get a free meal.</p>
<p>This does not make much sense either; you are wasting time with someone who you do not want to date.  Is that $20 meal from Friday’s really worth the hassle of spending an hour or so with a person who doesn’t do it for you romantically?  What women fail to realize is these trivial dinners and drinks men buy for women is the cost of doing business, they get to find out for little money that the woman has communication issues and is so desperate to get something petty for free that they waste their personal time with someone they don&#8217;t really like. A lot of men use these failed dates as a testing lab to improve their skills talking to and relating to women.  If you have no interest in a man just politely decline his advances or tell him you do not want to go to dinner with him and move on, you only make yourself look bad when you take the free drink or dinner.  We won&#8217;t even get into the entire topic of men slipping things into drinks, and taking advantage of them later as women should be well aware of that.</p>
<p>Men have an information network as well, and they share stories about women they encounter.  A guy you might be interested in could already have information about you being petty, and decide not to take you seriously because he has already formed an opinion about you.  The worst situation is he sees you at a restaurant having dinner with “Rosco”, and he puts you on the off limits list because he doesn’t want to cross swords with him.  The free drinks and dinners are just not worth it in the end, and may come back to bite you later.  There are exceptions to every rule and common sense should guide you there, if you are with a group of friends and some guy insists on buy all of you drinks then go for it.  But for most one on one encounters just take this advice; if you aren’t interested in a man just tell him that and move on.  If you need a man to give you something to boost your ego, or you can&#8217;t afford to buy your own drink or dinner then you don&#8217;t need to be dating and work on yourself first.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whilst looking over the old journal that I kept throughout high school and the early years of college, I realized that it took the club life to instill within me the confidence to not doubt myself. Listening to some friends today who put themselves down even before engaging a female, I found passages within the journal when I was feeling very much the same way about girls that I liked. While no expert (is anybody?) I can at least share the steps it took to <a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Approach-a-Man5x4.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3071" title="Approach-a-Man5x4" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Approach-a-Man5x4-300x230.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="230" /></a>get past that mentality and become the pillar of confidence that I am. As we have always stated, confidence does wonders for your psyche and it wins you the women that would have otherwise considered you either disinterested (because you were afraid to approach) or corny (because you used a line or tripped up on someone else’s game attempting to make it your own).</p>
<p>As a student in high school I was shy, assumed that girls wanted guys who could buy them things and was unsure about my looks. Sure the older ladies would call me handsome and I had my share of glances here and there, as a boy you never believe it unless a girl that you are feeling goes with your program. Having a good friend who was sleeping with girls on the daily didn’t help either. Sure I would get the courage to step to a girl but they would let me down every time and it was always the ones that I wasn’t checking for that was showing interest.</p>
<p>Change your outlook on women (especially the Hawtes)</p>
<p>Going into my freshman year in College I met many women through different circumstances and it changed my outlook in a major way. While naturally quiet, I found that my dealings with enough superficial women sobered me a bit on the high ideal I had placed on my future love. Men tend to put women on this fragile pedestal of worship that in reality is unfair to ourselves and the women. This pedestal makes a man want to be worthy of the woman, and it handicaps him, stuns him and makes him feel inadequate. This is the reasoning behind the goofy nerd who becomes a power mogul snatching up tons of gold diggers as if they are mere toys instead of human beings.</p>
<p>Clubbing with the right people led to me dancing with friendly girls, meeting really cool Hip Hop chicks and seeing women in a more third dimensional light than before. I learnt that I was a good dancer, that I was actually good looking and I learned that game was a task of trial and error, not having magical words. Before long and prior to my Sophomore year I was THAT GUY, grabbing women on the dance floor, grinding on them, collecting numbers, getting kicked out of bedrooms when the flirty senior saw my driver’s license and figured out my age. Yes it was a glorious lesson.<a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/womanslappingman.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3064" title="womanslappingman" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/womanslappingman-300x210.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>This example of mine goes to show that confidence is built through experience, the more you dabble, the more firm you are in your tools (what you are good at and what you are bad at). You also get to the point where you can gauge your target. Just because a woman is busty, beautiful and bashful, it doesn’t automatically make her a stuck-up prude, but it takes approaching 5-6 of them to put that into your head. If your approach has been limited to guesses, theories and hearsay then you won’t feel confident in stepping to the hawte, or you may assume wrong and get embarrassed.</p>
<p>Remember men, practice makes perfect and you have no clue on a person’s reality unless they share it with you. I don’t care if you are 300+ lbs and have pimples all over your face, you should spit game, get dissed and keep going. Trust, timing is everything and a big man can get in some dime piece panties as easily as an ugly dude with charisma can. Get your bumps in and good luck out there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/relationshipscars.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2913" title="relationshipscars" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/relationshipscars.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="400" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Isn’t this sad, this statement which is the title?</strong> But many times we write off potential mates due to the transgressions of  one or two people in our past. Hell, I’ve seen whole sites dedicated to  teaching black women to seek out men of lighter persuasion due to black  men’s lack of money, education and apparently condoms (SNARK!) It’s  pretty cruel to make a hate site being that you influence others with  it, but this blame game dealt from relationships is more commonplace  than you think.</p>
<p><strong>Blaming a group is lazy</strong></p>
<p>Do you want to know something interesting? I bet if you wrote off  every woman/man (whatever your flavor) for something one of their  membership has done negatively to you in the past, you will be left with  the most exotic of the set (in terms of your upbringing) as the ideal.  The black women that have never talked with, befriended or loved an  Asian man will see them as flawless due to exoticism. The white man that  has never met, researched or dated a Desi woman will be fetishizing  them to the utmost degree. Why? Because they have eliminated all of the  ones that they have met based on one member being an ass. Thank goodness  most of us don’t operate this way or the earth may stop spinning –  group blame is lazy.</p>
<p>Now of course going into detail of a group may warrant some  discussion ie: “Italian men who come from abusive parents have a better  chance of beating their spouses than others” but that’s not what we are  talking about here. With the abuse statement, the issue is when you go  “Italian men beat their spouses” whoa! Now that is some lazy and unfair  generalizing. Even if you have dated 3 abusive Italian men in a row you  cannot make that statement, you know why? There are millions of other  Italian guys that don’t hit their women that you haven’t dated. What  gives you the right to throw that statement out there or worse yet build  a blog or magazine around that lazy theory?</p>
<p><strong>Your relationship scars are  showing</strong></p>
<p>Normally when I hear these  statements, and I see the patterns, it immediately crosses my mind that  some childhood, or early scar is the cause. For instance many dark,  black men who chase white women exclusively have been dissed, spit on  (not really just being dramatic here) and were ignored by the pretty,  bobble-headed, black girls in grade school. Stay with me here, not  making this up. It’s like with women, and I am going to catch heat on  this but on observation in the South, prior to a plump rear being an  accepted sexy trait on white women by white guys, I could assume that  rolling up on a thick, <em>Christina Hendricks</em> type of looker would  yield me better results than hitting on a <a href="http://www.halloftheblackdragon.com/ldcafe/ldragon/2010-kate-bosworth.jpg" target="_blank">Kate Bosworth</a>. Know why? Hendricks wasn’t getting  much love for her feminine curves outside of darker hued wolves that  actually found her body-type to be sexy, I could expect to hear things  like “white guys don’t find me attractive” or “I’m too fat”. The dissed  young black boy assumes “ALL” black women have issues and are not  looking to him, just like the thick sexy Hendricks chick assumes “ALL”  white guys wanted a waif. The two normally find each other, so at least  some good comes out of that situation :p.</p>
<p><strong>Stereotypes will keep you  lonely</strong></p>
<p>In the end it is to your detriment to shut your doors completely on a  set of people due to the transgressions of a few. If we were to assume  that only 5 potential soul mates are out there for any human being, who  is to say that they aren’t within the group that you turned your back  on. You build a website about how horrible men of East Asian heritage  are and when your neighbor of that same build appears to be everything  you want in life sans race you let him fly all in the name of “I was  burnt before”. You can’t live like this and expect that life owes you a  mate that isn’t (insert race, gender, or group). The loneliest people  always seem to have this stance… and from what I said in my first  paragraph, it is for a reason. Shake off the childhood scars and open  your heart, you would be surprised at who it is that is meant for you in  the grand scheme of things.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/cromartiepatterson.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2816" title="cromartiepatterson" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/cromartiepatterson.jpg" alt="" width="533" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>When it comes to relationships everyone likes to think that they pick the right person for them who is going to be faithful and treat them the right way, but in a lot of cases people give in to their carnal desires and pick the person based off of other factors.  This seems to happen to women more than it happens to men because they tend to get emotionally attached sooner than the man does in most cases.  A lot of women freely admit that they have a propensity for going after the “bad boy” rather than a clean cut guy who they know is going to treat them right.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/patterson.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2817" title="patterson" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/patterson.jpg" alt="" width="201" height="261" /></a>People make the mistake of thinking that because a person is educated that they may make better decisions when it comes to their relationship choices.  That is definitely not the case all the time because so called “educated” women make bad decisions when it comes to relationships choices as well, and in some cases their decisions are even worse because they believe they are smart enough to detect the trouble before they get too invested.</p>
<p>Take the case of Antonio Cromartie’s SIXTH baby mama named Rhonda Patterson, she is a corporate lawyer and very successful.  If you don’t know who Cromartie is he played his College Football at Florida State and started his NFL career with the San Diego Chargers before playing for the New York Jets this season.  Cromartie was well chronicled to have a lot of children, it was all over the place and you had to be hiding under a rock to now know about it.  He was well known to be a guy that slept around a lot especially from the number of kids he had already fathered.</p>
<p>In 2005 Ms. Patterson and Cromartie met on Facebook of all places and started a “romance” as a result.  To make a long story short Cromartie got her pregnant, and proposed to her (which she accepted) to only leave her at the alter eight days before the wedding date.  As a result she is writing a book about her relationship with Cromartie titled “Love, Intercepted: A Tale of Football, Falling and Failing in Love”, and although Cromartie’s name is never mentioned the book is clearly about him.</p>
<p>Here are a few excerpts from what is written in the book.</p>
<p><em>In a romance that started on Facebook in 2005, she says, Cromartie lacked conversational skills, but communicated between the sheets.</em></p>
<p><em>Patterson writes that she was bombarded with reports of his seductions and affairs — “rumors of more babies on the way, STDs, and secret trips.”</em></p>
<p><em>Once, she snooped in his room. “I came across other women’s jewelry, greeting cards he’d received from other lovers, and sex paraphernalia that we had never used. I was furious.”</em></p>
<p><em>Despite her doubts, when Cromartie proposed, she said yes. A week later, she found out she was pregnant. He already had four other kids.</em></p>
<p>Why would a person who is unable to communicate effectively able to even get past first base with this educated corporate lawyer?  He communicated between the sheets?  People warned her about him, and even reminded her that he had multiple children from multiple women, and yet she still talked to him and even agreed to marry him after all of that?</p>
<p>We all know why she chose this path, Cromartie is a professional football player who makes a lot of money and she wanted to be part of that <a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/antonio-cromartie.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2818" title="antonio-cromartie" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/antonio-cromartie-300x253.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="253" /></a>lifestyle.  She imagined herself sitting in the stands watching him play and saying that’s my man down there making that play, so she looked past any character issues and four other children to get with a ball player.</p>
<p>This is an example of an educated person going against their better judgment to get with someone and capitalize on a situation.  She knew Cromartie slept around and she full well knew that sexing him without a condom was going to probably lead to a pregnancy.  Now she wants to write a book to help women avoid the same situation she ended up in?  People don’t need a book to see what happened there; she now can put Cromartie on child support and will get a large amount because he makes a lot as a professional athlete.  She is also claiming her 15 minutes of fame by writing a book detailing her relationship with him, so she is just capitalizing off of the situation.</p>
<p>She took a calculated risk by getting with Cromartie and now she wants to play the “I was in love” card, when in fact she knew the likely outcome when she first started talking to him.  This is why it does not matter if you are educated or not when it comes to relationship decisions because at the end of the day people make decisions based off of other factors like money, fame, or looks rather than how a person is going to treat them.  That is their god given right to do, but let’s stop with all of the “I never thought it would end this way” books and articles.  If you make that decision don’t blame the other person because they are being true to their nature, so live with the decisions you make when it comes to relationships it takes two to tango.</p>

<p>Anybody else ever get this message from women seeking a date? “Hi I  like your complexion, I really think we need to hook up, blah, blah,  blah”</p>
<p>Well I have yet to got this one from non black women but I am willing  to bet it’s on the tip of their tongues when contacting me. What’s the  deal? this is a new one to me yet lately, I’ve gotten quite a few women  emailing that “compliment” in the last month or so. Everytime I see  this, I think “fetish” or “shallow” because seriously who would say such  a thing? Some quick sex is one thing but I probably won’t take you  serious when you say this.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/online_dating.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2641" title="online_dating" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/online_dating-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>I realize that dark skinned men are some sort of fad thing for girls  nowadays but this is just weird. I remember the early days of school up  until college where girls were looking for the bright, near-white type.  Now being a tall dark-skinned fellow is somehow “in” and I won’t lie it  is absolutely odd. Coming from where I stand, women for me have never  been some sort of flavor, taste thing. Needless to say, I cannot say I  like one particular shade of woman over another, well… not enough to  email a woman that I “love her complexion”.</p>
<p>No not a big fan of this and it is enough to make me hold a bias with  a chick even before dating her, to be honest it’s as bad as asking me  in an email if I am gay (which was another question sent my way on an  online dating site). Talk about 10 ways to quickly turn off a guy, you  broads just aren’t getting it. Keep it generic, tell me “I love your  look”, trust me I’d dig that and chances are I’d be more apt to reply to  your email… well if you’re sexy that is. I mean c’mon lets be frank  here, I am a man afterall, you gotta treat my pupils before you treat my  heart.</p>
<p>Fads are retarded and I wonder when this will slow down and chicks  like this will go back to sweating the Chris Brown’, Cuba Gooding Jrs.  and John Legends of our time and a chick that likes (my complexion)  would come off as more genuine than non. Until then I am steering clear,  you want a dark skinned man, fine, go and get yourself one, just spare  me the “Tell” in your email, it is quite confusing and i’m not the one.</p>

<p><strong>Ice Skating</strong></p>
<p>Skating is always a good date choice, but during the holidays many places will build ice skating rinks to allow people to get in the holiday spirit.  Between the hand holding and the full body embraces needed to keep each <a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/iceskating.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2623" title="iceskating" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/iceskating-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>other from “accidentally” falling, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to strengthen the physical and emotional bond with your date.  The bold play here is if you have no clue how to skate and you choose this for a date.  You will more than likely bust your ass several times, and your date will appreciate the fact that you are willing to do something you are not good at in front of here.  The key thing to avoid here is taking her out with you when you are falling to the ice, which is a sure way to end the date on a bad note.</p>
<p><strong>Christmas Shopping</strong></p>
<p>Going Christmas Shopping can be a good or bad thing, but the sure thing about it is that most women enjoy it.  Imagine suggesting to your date that you partake in some shopping to get a few gifts for family members and what not; most women will enjoy the fact that you are comfortable going shopping with them.  You can also take this as an opportunity to show her what you think about others as you discuss why you are buying a gift for your mom or sister, and that will let her know that you have an emotional side while still being a man.</p>
<p><strong>Christmas Tree Decorating</strong></p>
<p>Decorating a Christmas tree for a date may seem like something that is odd, but in reality it is a great idea if executed properly.  You can take the time with someone to decorate your Christmas tree, and it will allow you to see if both of you can work together as a team without killing each other.  Also, it will give you a sense of if the other person is bossy or domineering when it comes to mutual decisions in a relationship, and you get to find out all of this under the innocent guise of decorating a Christmas tree.  This can also be romantic if you cook a nice dinner for the two of you to eat after the tree has been completed, which will give you some alone time with your date.</p>
<p><strong>Look at Christmas Light Decorations</strong></p>
<p>During the holidays people in many neighborhoods deck their houses out with Christmas lights and all kinds of other front yard statues among other things.  There are also places that setup Christmas lights in a drive through fashion where you can spend a while taking in their hard work, and in some cases even judging them against their competition.  This can be a romantic outing for a date because it will give you some alone time, and depending on where you choose to go an opportunity for you to have an excuse to keep your date warm.</p>
<p>There are probably many others out there that can be used, but we will leave those up to you to come up with.  Happy Holidays from the Shooting Range, we appreciate you taking the time to read our articles.  Thank You.</p>

<p>I always thought it was a bit of a slight when people posted about Gold Diggers on dating websites. This was until I realized I was dating one of these chicks after an accidental back and forth about my furniture. Now before I delve into the story, I look around me and I know I have what it takes to pull some Gold Digging tail and get away with it. What do I mean by get away with it? Well I mean that I can get the panties and dump her before she gets a single nugget of my bank account. How so? Well I have very nice furniture, a home in a nicer neighborhood and I am a business owner. What this translates to in the typical Digger’s mind is, I make good money but I am frugal and smart about my spending. This of course is true but what they don’t gamble on is the fact that I am not naive to their wiles.</p>
<p><strong>The Story</strong><br />
So I meet a chick online and after our first date I was invited to her apartment for a bit of “hot coffee” (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). Having enjoyed the experience, I decided that it would be a worthwhile investment in time to keep her around on a level beyond f— buddies. She pushed the issue and I complied, so before long we were holding hands and labeling each other as “girlfriend” and “boyfriend”, things were grand. At the time I was working full time and building my web business so I would work late on sites after work and kept a tight budget as per the norm. My home was a nice sized apartment which I kept clean (I’m a bit of a neat freak) though my furniture were relics from Mom back when I moved out to college in pursuit of manhood. Anyway, the first time this chick sees my place she makes up her face and starts making insulting remarks about my furniture. This never sat well with me but I let it slide, figuring that she being a woman, she had the <a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/onlinedating.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2566" title="onlinedating" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/onlinedating.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="251" /></a>whole HGTV thing going and was just being verbally critical.</p>
<p>The insults carried on to my modest Corolla and she would pry me as to why I didn’t spend money lavishly for people to “see” that I was doing well. <strong>I shrugged it off and kept beating her little monkey up like any man would</strong>, hell sex has a way of making a big mouth tolerable, right fellas? Well one day it went too far and I asked her “how much money do you think I have? You keep talking about me spending, do you think i’m rich?” Immediately she brings up that my profile on the dating service stated that I made six figures… oops. I remembered dicking around one day and sarcastically putting my income level up to damn near a million just to be sarcastic… somehow this chick bought it. Lol, well needless to say I never told her my true income but I did find it funny that she actually believed it. The relationship continued… but it made me realize why she pursued me the way she had. It made me realize why the panties slid off so quickly, and it made me realize why she was such an annoying nag about my assets.</p>
<p>It didn’t last and we both moved on with our separate lives. How could I write these blogs if I was locked down in a relationship right? Ya  you all are welcome! Lol, just kidding.</p>
<p>So keep this in mind, I find the income level thing to be innocent in cases where a woman makes a certain amount and wants a man who makes similar or higher. A good case being when a female doctor or lawyer wants a date, they can desire men with a high income level and I can understand that. The chick from my above story was no lawyer, so that to me is a problem. And they call us the shallow ones! Ha! On these online dating sites you can utilize my mistake for some quick Gold Digger booty… just make sure you come back and leave me a (detailed) comment to celebrate the conquest. If she is willing to give it up based on that salary number then more power to you, I have no misgivings in supporting this facade all the way. That one mistake is a story I love to tell, though now I tend to leave my income bracket blank in order to date more genuine women. Good luck out there, and bag a digger for the Dragon!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/BlackCouple_RP6x4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2081" title="BlackCouple_RP6x4" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/BlackCouple_RP6x4.jpg" alt="" width="570" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>Women on average seem to be more emotional than men, and that leads to a propensity for them to want to be in relationships.  Outside of just wanting to be in one, women want to feel like they have Mr. Right and have found the perfect guy for them.  Men also want to find Mrs. Right, but most of the time they are a bit more patient and prodding as they &#8220;sow their oats&#8221;.</p>
<p>This can be a troubling situation for both men and women because of infatuation,  which can lead people to do irrational things.  It can be more <a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/black20couple.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-768" title="black20couple" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/black20couple-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>dangerous for women than men on average because men typically take longer to open themselves up and reveal their emotions than women do.  What usually ends up happening is a woman meets a guy, he sweeps her off her feet and after the first few dates she thinks he is Mr. Right.  The guy on the other hand is just prodding along feeling like he just met a nice woman, but for the most part is not even thinking about if she is Mrs. Right.</p>
<p>This is the reason why it is important to take your time when getting to know someone.  A lot of people get excited and they call their friends talking about how they met the one for them after only knowing the person for a week or two.  The problem with that is the other person may not be feeling you in the same way, and while you think they are Mr. Right, they may be thinking that you are Mrs. Right Now.  It is important to put infatuation aside, and temper your enthusiasm as much as possible in the early stages.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to sound cynical or jaded. I believe that people who are looking for love will find it at some point, but what I believe in more is that it takes a really long time to get to know someone and it&#8217;s a complicated process.  Whirlwind romances seem to be common and popular, but as you get older you realize that the high you get from those few weeks or months were not worth it when you got dumped later.  The first few months of knowing someone is a time of illusions and smoke screens. Instead of seeing the person objectively, you see them for who you want them to be.</p>
<p>Your object of desire is laden with fantasies and projections.  You can not put a time limit on how long it will take to strip away the layers and start to see this person for who they really are.  For every person it is different, some people take longer to open up than others.  The reason <a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/clingy6x4.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2303" title="clingy6x4" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/clingy6x4-300x196.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="196" /></a>taking your time and tempering your emotions is the best advice, is because it gives you time to see any signs that person may give off.  You may notice somethings about them as time goes on that you are not really fond of, and you will be much better served to take your time than jumping in full force when you don&#8217;t even know the person that well.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t even count the number of times that I or a friend started dating someone and days or even weeks later found out there was something seriously messed up about the person.  The more and less obvious discoveries about another are made in that time you are getting to know them. That&#8217;s stuff you need to know before you move forward, what if they don&#8217;t like to take a shower everyday?  What if they have 12 children out there that you don&#8217;t know about yet?  Would those be deal breakers?</p>
<p>Another benefit to taking your time to get to know someone is that it  gives you enough time to see if the new person in your life is consistent. Do they call when they say they&#8217;re going to? Do they cancel dates? Do they even have time for dates? Do they want to hang out once a week or six times a week and does that mesh with what you want? How do they treat you after a month? Any major disagreements on fundamental things? How do they behave in different situations?</p>
<p>Those are all questions you won&#8217;t be able to answer until it is too late if you let your infatuation with a new love interest get the best of you.  Take your time and don&#8217;t feel like you have to &#8220;lock&#8221; the person up before someone else gets t hem, if they really want to build something with you then it will work out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/clingy6x4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2303" title="clingy6x4" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/clingy6x4.jpg" alt="" width="570" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>Although much has been said about how independent young women are today (they earn more than men in big cities, boldly ask out attractive men, and confidently remain single when no suitable mate can be found), clearly there are still some women who can be defined as clingy when they&#8217;re in  a new relationship.</p>
<p>A lot of men do not enjoy dating clingy women because they feel it hinders their ability to have a life outside of the relationship, and internally it reveals just how insecure the woman they are dating is about herself.  No one wants to date a person who runs around fearing they are going to be dumped or cheated on every minute.</p>
<p>To be fair, it&#8217;s normal to feel a little insecure when you first start dating someone because the relationship&#8217;s status is so up in the air, but there is something called quiet insecurity.  When you start letting it show on the surface, <a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Clingy.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2304" title="Clingy" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Clingy-234x300.jpg" alt="" width="234" height="300" /></a>and acting it out on your partner then that may lead the relationship to fail.</p>
<p>Keeping tabs on someone every hour of the day, and wanting a daily report of where they have been and what they have done are big turn offs.  No one wants to feel they are being watched or lorded over, and forced to make a report on their daily activities.  It also reveals to the person that you do not have any sort of life outside of the relationship, and that for the foreseeable future they will be your source of entertainment.  This will give most men serious pause as to whether they are going to continue the relationship or not.</p>
<p>What are reasonable expectations when it comes to relying on a new love interest?  Some general guidelines: In the first month or two, don&#8217;t plan to see a guy more than twice a week.  Let things progress naturally, if you are dating the right guy and are doing your part in the relationship you will gradually start seeing more of him.  Also, some men prefer the thrill of the chase, and If you are a constant presence in their world, that thrill will wear off prematurely.</p>
<p>If you are a person who knows you require a lot of attention, and you do not have a lot of friends then talk to the person you are dating.  Sit down and discuss your needs and how often you hope to see each other, and see if your expectations are in line with each other.  If you want more time from him than he can offer then, you will need to assess if you are able to deal with that and be comfortable in the relationship.  Communicating never hurt anyone, so don’t be afraid to use it.</p>

<p>There are reports on multiple websites that Lauren London is pregnant again. The actress has a son with Lil Wayne who is a little over a year old now.  London has been seen out and about wearing maternity clothes and a source close to Lauren told Mediatakeout.com that she is pregnant and guess who may be the father?</p>
<p>If you guessed Trey Songz, you’re right!  The two have reportedly been dating on and off for the past year or so. Trey recently said Lauren met his mom, but they were just friends.  Of course this is just rumor at this point, but recent pictures of London have shown her in maternity clothes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/lauren-london-pregnant.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2235" title="lauren-london-pregnant" src="http://www.theshootingrange.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/lauren-london-pregnant-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>Why do some women continue to make the same mistakes with their choices and decisions when it comes to men?  Lauren London had a little streak of movies where she was starting to get regular work, but she derailed all of that by getting pregnant from Lil Wayne.  So, after all of that you would think she would start focusing on her career and getting things back on track because of the short shelf life most actors and actresses have in Hollywood.  Instead she dated Songz off and on, to only end up allegedly getting pregnant from him as well.</p>
<p>London was in a place most women would love to be, but now her future is uncertain.  This is a common theme among people today; although most don’t have a budding movie career on the line like London the mistakes can be just as big.  It just does not make any sense; she will supposedly now have two children from two different men in two years.  Why?</p>
<p>It is hard to understand the dynamics of relationships between people, but it is safe to say that common sense should still prevail in most cases.  Why would London not make her sexual partners use protection?  It is not like there is some secret that Lil Wayne has multiple children from different women, and a truck load of kids to go along with it.  This means that Wayne is having unprotected sex with multiple women on a regular basis, so why would London want to expose herself to possible STD’s and pregnancy by having sex with Wayne unprotected?</p>
<p>Then to allegedly do the same thing with Trey Songz right after having Lil Wayne’s baby?  London is more intelligent than that, she has to be.  There are only a few explanations that are feasible.  She got caught up in the moment and both of these men made her believe they were going to be together for a long time (Which is unlikely).  Maybe London decided that she could ride the coattails of these entertainers by having a child with them, and at the minimum she will be collecting a significant amount of child support from both of them.  Is that really a goal?  I can understand women who have nothing going for them going the famous baby daddy to riches route, but London had a decent career going in Hollywood.  She must not understand the ramifications and the stigma that comes with having two babies from two different men, and how it might be held against her when she attempts to get roles in movies.</p>
<p>Many normal women fall into this situation, and it is perplexing as to why it happens.  It just proves that even though you are famous and in movies, you are not necessarily immune to making the same mistakes as the average person.  If London has another baby from another man next year, look for another article here on learning life lessons after you have made the same mistake three times.</p>
