In this modern world, it is often hard to make a connection with that special someone. Searching for love online can open more Possibilities for someone, and here are some helpful tips to help those Possibilities find you:

1. Post up-to date pics, and be honest about who you are!

Folks, apparently a lot of us are posting high-school-circa pictures of ourselves in our search for love or FWB, and we need to stop doing this. Also, no one said this explicitly, but I'm going to say it: be true to you! If you are cool with you as you are, someone else will be cool with you as you are. Don't hide behind pictures of a younger you. You are great!

​2. Don't try so hard!

You've all seen them, and maybe taken them (I have, lol). That "model pose" some call 'Duckface'. I had just called that "looking attractive," but apparently I'm just as wrong as the rest of you, because the guys and ladies that are checking out our pictures see right through our faux-hollow cheeks and plumped-up lips and they are having none of it. Don't try to look sexy! Just be sexy.

​3. Don't lie about stuff...but you can be mysterious.

Better to be straight up front and not lie. If what you are hiding is a deal breaker, it's better to break the deal from the outset. Now, having said that, I don't tell my age but most people think I am 10 years younger than I am, so I just don't tell them!

​4. I can't say this enough: Let your true self shine! In your profile, use specifics about who you are and what type of relationship you're hoping for.

Please do not state that you like to 'have fun,' 'just hang out,' or 'listen to music' in your online profile. This suggests that you are in fact not human, just trying to sound like one. Write why you're on and what you want, rather than 'I like cycling, tea, wine, reading and cheese.'

​If that doesn't work, a-lot of good-looking profile pics always does the trick!

​5. Don' t rush it!

Chill out on the 'I love you' thing within, like, a month of dating. It kind of creeps most guys out to be jumping into that too soon. Especially in the middle of sex!

​6. Sometimes, it's good to quit!

It's happened a couple of times to me where we've met and *instantly* known that we're not really interested in each other – and gone through with a couple of hours of date anyway. So you see something right at the beginning – this person is really unhappy, or dull, or just really doesn't like me – and you can usually pick this up in about 10 seconds – and you sit through it anyway. Mad. "If the convo isn't flowing, time to get going." On the other hand, what's there online may not be in person. Just help this shy person out of their shell-it can be worth it.

​7. Be honest about your reasons for dating, and expect deviations from your 'Fantasy Date'!

Hang onto your expectations only so tightly. No one is exactly what you think they are when you first meet them, and no one can describe themselves perfectly. 

Everybody luvs a good fantasy; some people prefer to read about the first time, to remember their own; some like it rough and read BDSM; some have super romantic fantasies of rolling in ecstasy on a white sandy beach in the arms of their lover; whatever it is you like, fantasize about it. Starting today we shall post a weekly fantasy, to give fuel to those fires. From time to time we shall also hold contest's, for prizes, for "BEST Fantasy".  Click luvbites to read the fantasies.

Caffeine is known to both dry out the skin and cause an increase in stress, leading to more acne. Drinking less caffeine will make your skin healthier.

Exercise is a major component to healthy skin and the reduction of acne. Exercise increases blood circulation. This aids in the elimination of toxins from the body while also delivering oxygen and nutrients to various areas of the body. An exercise regimen can thus, be an important part of body hygiene, maintenance, and toning. Exercise also allows your mind to release its stress. Stress has been shown to aggravate acne problems. Exercise doesn't have to be a strenuous workout at the gym; it could be a 30 minute walk with the dog, or 20 minutes of dancing-5 days a week; everybody could make that time to get that GLOW. 

If you want to achieve acne-free skin, apply tea tree oil in the spots that are acne-prone. This is an all natural product and will not dry out the skin. Many people have found that this will reduce the oil buildup in your pores.

If you want to prevent acne breakouts, it is important that you get rid of body sweat right away. Sweat will clog pores, and this may cause breakouts. A nice, warm shower is the best way to prevent this type of sweat-based acne.

Skin care products containing salicylic acid work best to treat acne. This ingredient accompanied with other hydroxyl acids helps the skin shed skin cells much faster.

Washing your face twice daily with a gentle, natural soap and tepid water will help to reduce breakouts. Afterward, you should use cool water to thoroughly rinse your face. Always wash your face whenever you complete a workout. Use a mild cleanser and scrub gently. Harsh scrubbing will only worsen the problem.

Clean your face as often as possible, especially if you are sweating because of the heat or exercising. Bring along a pack of moist towelettes if you know you will be out of reach of running water and skin cleansers. The wipes clean and sanitize quickly and easily. However, you shouldn’t use the wipes in place of your daily cleanser, and if you do have to for some reason, return to your morning routine as soon as you can.

Stress is a major contributor to an acne breakout. Although you may not believe it, reducing stress can lessen acne flareups and improve your overall health. Yoga and other types of exercise can work wonders for stress relief, and you will also reap other health benefits.

A great vitamin to take to prevent acne is zinc. Zinc helps to diminish the amount of free radicals that form under your skin. Consider taking a zinc supplement to stay healthy and reduce the amount of cystic acne that you have.

As was stated in the beginning of this article, treating your acne is really a matter of proper education. If you know how to approach skin care, your problems with acne will be easier to solve.
