What Do You Wanna Know?
A Second Date Doesn't Mean
You're "Dating" Yet

Just because she's said yes to a second date doesn't mean your dating exclusively, so don't jump the gun and declare that she's yours. You might like her a lot and you've been waiting and searching a long time for someone as pretty, funny, smart and cool as she is.

But you shouldn't pin your hopes all on this one person just yet, and she shouldn't do that to you, either. It can be a big turn-off and feel desperate to the other person who begins to view you as "clingy" or territorial.

Dating exclusively is a big step. No, it's not as big as moving in together, but it does represent a level of commitment and while you might think you're ready by the second date, you're probably not. There's nothing wrong with giving it some time.

For some, dating exclusively only takes place after several dates and a discussion in which the agreement is made to only date each other. Until then, there's nothing wrong with dating other people for awhile until you both decide that you like each other best out of the dating pool.

Here's how to keep things from getting too serious, too fast:

- Continue to date her regularly, but date other women too - and assume she's dating other guys.

- Use this time to really get to know her, and to understand your feelings about her. Are you feeling desperate, like you must have her all to yourself right now? If that's the case, you need to figure out what's going on with you. Are you in love or are you desperate to have a girlfriend?

- Keep the early dates fun, light and casual. They're meant for getting to know one another. You have a lifetime to get into deep, meaningful conversations.

- After several dates, if you really do like her, make the dates a bit more romantic and see how she responds. If her response is favorable, there's a clue that you both might want to take it to the next step soon.

- If, after several dates over the period of at least a few months, you still think she's someone you want to commit yourself exclusively to, then it's time to find out if she feels the same.

If you get to the point where you feel it's time to become an exclusive couple, have the conversation with her. You should have a pretty good idea beforehand if she feels the same, so hopefully you won't get any unpleasant surprises. Make sure that you've taken the time you need to date other women to see if she truly is a good fit for you. This won't happen overnight, so don't try to force it.

It's Just A Joke

The President's Vacation

George and Laura Bush take a vacation to Crawford and decide to go to the grocery store. In the checkout line, Laura recognizes the man working at the register as an old high school boyfriend. After chatting, they leave the store and George says,

"Wow, imagine if you had married him. You'd be married to a grocery store clerk now instead of the President of the United States."

Laura rolls her eyes and says, "No. I'd be married to the President of the United States."

Alternative Medicine

Try Acupuncture

Acupuncture is type of holistic/alternative medicine that has been commonly practiced in the eastern part of the world for thousands of years. Five thousand years ago, the intention of acupuncture was to prolong life. With many alternative medical techniques, the intention is to prevent rather than to cure a specific or general ailment.
