Valentine’s Day: Dating Guru Doles out Love Formula Cupid Forgot to Deliver

Posted on by

(PRWEB) February 3, 2005

Both technology and Cupid’s lackadaisical archery skills are the contributing factors of America’s fascination with love at first sight and a propensity for failed relationships. The release of Holly Bentz’s Dating For I Do, The Single’s Guide to Establishing a Lifetime Relationship, refers to the syndrome as IRG, the acronym for immediate relationship gratification. The dating guru disputes the misconception that relationships transpire, instantaneously. Bentz’s book delineates the blueprint, Cupid failed to deliver, a mating formula destined for ‘I do.’

From childhood, Americans are raised to believe that Valentine’s Day objectifies Cupid’s ability as a triumphant matchmaker. Unlike the limited pairings of the love icon’s resources, Dating For I Do outlines a proactive approach for finding a lifetime partner. From how to pick up the opposite sex to gaining closure from previous failed relationships, the book provides a formulized love stratagem on launching a successful dating campaign.

The premise of Dating For I Do is a combination of traditional values and playing the dating game. The guidebook is written in the voice of a personal dating coach with outlined personal relationship improvement exercises. It makes the reader examine their previous relationships to break their poor dating patterns. The book is a novel concept because it is geared for both men and women.

Although Dating For I Do offers exceptional advice on how to identify and avoid ‘go nowhere pothole relationships,’ it contains a few controversial strategies. For example, the author recommends abstinence for 35 dating/conversation hours but also suggests dating a slew of potentials. Despite the outlined methodology, the love formula is failsafe and details a results-driven strategy in dating for I do — that Cupid probably forgot to deliver.

Here are a few of the steps highlighted in Dating For I Do the Single’s Guide to Establishing a Lifetime Relationship for launching a successful dating campaign:

1) Set detailed relationship goals

2) Join an online dating site

3) Simultaneously, date a variety of people – both on and off-line

4) Replace old poor dating decisions with positive dating habits

5) Conduct in depth interviews, covertly

6) Keep a journal of dating stories and inconsistency notes

7) Take all interests at face value

8) Identify and listen to the signs of dating perils

9) Defer intimacy for 35-hours

10) Upgrade love interests after 4-months

11) Say, I do

About the Author:

Holly Bentz’s fascination with relationships was sparked when she worked for the Oprah Winfrey Show interviewing potential show participants about their relationships. Then she wrote a one woman show titled, “Dating, Mating and Relating.” When she is not in production, Bentz is the advice columnist of Premier Singles.

Z-Coil Pain Relief Footwear Love Affairs

Port Townsend, WA (PRWEB) February 10, 2005

In celebration of Valentines Day, February 14th, the Z-Blog Reporter, an interactive informational resource for independent Z-CoiL dealers and owners, is featuring customer stories regarding their love affairs with Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear. http://z-coil.blogspot.com

Two Story Examples:

It may surprise some of you who have known me for a long time to learn that I have become an avid runner. 5-6 miles 2-3 times a week has helped me lose and keep pounds off. But last year I suffered an ilio-tibial band injury… very painful. I couldn’t walk without pain for days and for months I had trouble running. Since recovery I have been very cautious about not running on pavement and not running for too long.

Then I heard about ZCoil Shoes.

OK, they look strange. And the look may be enough to stop you from trying them. BUT, if you can get past the look you will be amazed by the ride. I can run again for long distances with no pain. The spring built into the heel absorbs most of the shock of impact. I even like to wear them when I go for a walk in the morning with my daughter — it is a half mile downhill to the Peet’s Coffee and I can really feel the difference when I am wearing my ZCoils.

If you enjoy running but experience knee, hip, or back pain — give the ZCoil a try. I continue to be amazed after almost a month.”

Ted Shelton

http://tedshelton.blogspot.com

“ I have plantar fasciitis and Morton’s neuroma, I have had neuromas removed from one foot. I work 4-5 days per week 7:00 AM – 4:30 PM taking care of patients at the hospital. I have noticed that since I have been wearing Z-Coils I have been able to continue to work hard, I have been able to keep up my pace and still have energy at the end of the day. They do make my life a lot better. I wear them all of the time.”

NOTE: There are many more stories in the Z-Blog Reporter’s archives.

Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear – What’s So Special:

The unique patented design of Z-CoiL Footwear, combining a large coil under the heel with a rigid, ¾-length orthotic, is the invention of Z-Tech’s Founder and Chairman of the Board, Al Gallegos. Al realized the many injuries he endured as an avid runner were caused by impact. His quest to develop shoes that would reduce the force of impact, while providing proper support, resulted in Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear.

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) February 16, 2005

Around Valentine’s Day, the greeting card industry is hoping everyone will be smitten by the love bug. Of course, feelings of romantic love can move consumers to buy cards, flowers and chocolates for their beloved, but can they heal wounded bodies and souls?

In 1997 Nancy Bauman of Salt Lake City, Utah (or other location) suffered a severe head injury as the result of a serious car accident. She lay unconscious for seven weeks. Bauman credits her miraculous recovery to the power of love and in particular, to the power of her husband‘s love. Her true life story moves people to tears as she describes the arduous journey from a near-vegetable state to where she is today – a vibrant mother of six with a fulfilling career as a human resource manager.

At the urging of those who heard her story, Bauman decided to write about her own experience in order to inspire other victims of serious head trauma and their loved ones. She told her story to Exponent II in 1982 and received overwhelming response from readers that her story was indeed helpful to others. She decided to take her personal account one step further.

Bauman’s new novel, As Simple As It Gets, will be released today by American Book Publishing. Bauman’s compelling tale weaves the details and actual experiences of her own recovery into the lives of an endearing and memorable cast of fictionalized characters. The result is an inspirational love story that is sure to inspire other victims of head trauma to be open to giving and receiving love, a necessary component in all healing.

“Hopefully, people will realize the powerful effect that patience and love from a significant other can have on their loved one’s recovery,” says Bauman, who has experienced the love and support of her own husband as she went through her own ordeal.

Bauman enjoys writing “happily-ever-after” romances that deal with disabilities, depression and overcoming other trials. She believes that many people will appreciate the honest and simple sentiments she weaves into the stories based on her own experiences.

For anyone who has suffered a head trauma or who knows someone who has, or anyone who wants more evidence of the healing power of love, As Simple As It Gets, by Nancy Bauman, is sure to satisfy. This book is published by American Book Publishing and is available to order at stores near you.

Top London Love Doctor Is London’s ‘Hitch’

Posted on by

(PRWEB) March 3, 2005

Top London love doctor is London’s ‘Hitch’

“Hitch” is a romantic comedy which stars Will Smith as a New York City date doctor who, for a fee, has helped hundreds of men woo the women of their dreams. It has topped the US box office two weeks running and is being released in the UK on March 11, 2005. Hitch’s key selling point is that he coaches for love, not one-night stands.

London has its own real life Hitch – love doctor Sam van Rood. Sam has helped over 500 Londoners learn the signals of love and how to spot and attract the partners they want. Just like Hitch, Sam works one to one with singletons who need a love boost to switch them on. The sessions enhance their confidence, flirting skills and sexiness to help find their perfect partner. One of his clients even pulled on the tube!

‘I’ve met a girl who is everything that I’ve been looking for. She is stunning, warm hearted, genuine and very intelligent. I thank you once again for your coaching, for without it, I would not have been able to recognise her attraction for me.’ wrote Mal a client.

Unlike Hitch, Sam also works with women. Helen, one of his clients, said:

‘I was really tired of feeling closed off and afraid of getting hurt for so long. You managed to switch me back on and I am really grateful. I am definitely in the race now!’

Most recently during Valentine’s week, customers were treated to advice from Sam in ‘Dr Love’s Surgery’ in Harrods’ front window. At Microsoft’s Christmas party, Sam’s skills were used to add some spice and provide advice on getting hitched. Sam also works for some of London’s leading singles and events companies including Single Solution, Cosmo Party, Gorgeous Networks and Dr Party. Since most relationship experts are female, Sam also provides an unusual male perspective on the dating and love scene.

“I believe there is someone for everyone – but to find that person it is essential to know the rules of the game: you must look and sound confident and at the same time feel sexy. Like Hitch, I can teach you how!” said Sam

Sam has been featured in The Independent, The Daily Mail, The Metro and More Magazine. He will also be appearing this summer in the TV series ‘What Women Want’. Sam, who was named by Cosmopolitan magazine as one of Australia’s most successful young people under 30, has been working in London for over 4 years as a lifestyle consultant specialising in sex and flirting.

Sam van Rood’s website features more details about the services on offer as well as success stories from his clients in their own words: http://www.samvanrood.com

Japanese concepts of finding beauty in imperfection known as ?Wabi Sabi,? WABI SABI LOVE (HarperOne; $ 24.99; January 2012; ISBN 9780062003751) introduces the art of learning to love

your partner?s imperfections as the key to everlasting love.

WABI SABI LOVE is firmly rooted in the belief that how a person chooses to see things informs the way they appear. The book provides steps for building a relationship that is authentic, fulfilling, and fun by shifting focus away from what?s wrong to what?s right. Partners will learn to apply humor, compassion, intimacy, and anger at precisely those moments when retreat feels like the only option. By doing so, WABI SABI LOVE reveals a pathway to love, peace, and harmony. Truly.
