The Intern's Input

Hi, SinglesScoreBoard World! This is Christina, the new intern...

Anyway, I wanted to share what I've learned from Janet Page in about 5 minutes: I'm committing a few of her "Dating Sins."

To quote the great Janet Page:

"#1 Terminal Cuteness and #2 Chattering" are the biggest dating sins I commit. It's hard for me to not come across as that cute little teen (even though I'm 22!) that has a crush on you, and to not stop rambling about random things I think you might be interested in. I mean let's be real, I don't really know what topics you're truly interested in, or if you want a cute girl next door...or a hot babe!

But, have no fear, single ladies ! She also lists some turn-ons for men. Ten, as a matter of fact, to make up for the ten sins she discusses.

Men like certain behaviors; it's not about physical qualities, but more about what you do and how you do it.

"Physical affection, a sense of humor, intelligence, commitment to a career (or other interest), well-cared-for body, generosity, ability to listen (when you don't tell him what to do), honesty, common values, low drama."

As Dr. Page says, "Men are not looking for perfect bodies and people pleasers." Good news! You can be yourself to find your perfect match. And if you're not yourself, and you find a match, guess what?! It's not "The One." It's someone who your alter-ego thinks is the one.

I will try and stop being terminally cute and chattering... that sounds like the kid you don't want to babysit. I will make more attempts at showing off my sense of humor and my great listening skills. Let's show people what we're really about, and find whoever loves us for who we are.
