Online Dating: Why Should You Try It?
By:Jamie Clark
Interested in trying online dating but not really sure if it's for you, or how to even get started? Don't worry, you're not alone. In fact, many people feel a little "strange" when they first get into online dating. After all, just a few years ago few people were looking for dates on the internet and even fewer admitted to doing so.
The good news is that, in just the past couple of years, online dating has exploded around the world, especially in the US and Europe. Millions of people got sick and tired of trying to meet the right person at bars, clubs, and parties. Now they're doing it the easy efficient way -- online! Internet dating sites have definitely become the "smart" way to meet compatible people.
With millions of potential matches on the web, you're bound to find a few good candidates who have what you're looking for. Log into any big online dating web site and you can literally spend hours looking through profiles -- with photos -- of people who live in your area, are in the right age group, have the right hobbies/interests, etc.
One thing that makes online dating so great is that you have complete freedom to search for and contact only those people who appeal to you. No more blind dates and wasting perfectly good Friday nights. Also, you choose the time and place of your dates -- something you can't do with traditional dating services or "speed dating" nights. Finally, by posting a good profile online, you can allow interested people to contact you without giving out your email address, phone number, or address.
In the end, online dating is all about freedom, choices, and comfort. It saves tons of time and minimizes the amount of awkwardness usually involved in searching for and getting to know a knew person. In fact, you don't even have to meet someone face-to-face until you've become "email buddies." Some couples who found love on the web waited weeks or even months getting to know one another through email and phone calls before actually going out on a date. It's great being able to become friends with someone before that first live encounter!
Just about anyone who's single and lonely should definitely consider trying the online dating scene. As long as you're careful and take your time, you don't have much to lose. Just choose one of the popular dating sites, post a free profile, and go for it!

- 2). Native Speakers? By : Brenda Townsend Hall
In a recent poll, I asked readers if they thought English language teachers should be native speakers. The result was interesting, as the vote from those with an opinion was close with 48% believing they should be native speakers and 41% saying no. I don’t know what you think about this but I’ve always had mixed feelings.
The first question I would raise with those who believe being a native speaker is an essential prerequisite for an English language teacher is, which nat...

- 3). Don't Hesitate To Cry A Tear By : Hallidae Thomason
Growing up, my siblings and I were never aloud to cry even just one tear. No matter how sad, mad or hurt we were, tears were never allowed. We were told that truly tough people didn't shed a tear no matter how bad life got. Tears, our parents said, were for wimps and people who weren't strong enough to handle life.
As I grew into my teenage years, I found it nearly impossible to make it through week after week without crying a single tear. Since I knew my parents would not...
