When I see the following types of personal ads, all that comes to mind is the words of the song, "What's love got to do with it?" It's clear you don't need The Date Profiler if you fit one of these two categories of personal ads. You already know what you want:

Woman seeking rich, professional, generous man for security and love.

Man seeking young and beautiful woman for trophy and love.

Then there's the rest of us, men and women who really do want a relationship that's based on something more substantial. The Date Profiler, up front helps you identify what qualities you can live with and which ones just won't work for you. Realize your expectations. Know what the essential qualifications are that a date must have in order to meet those expectations. Do this and you'll stop dating stupid. Since the Date Profiler gives you get the big picture, be prepared for some great dates that have real potential.

The quality of your date or relationship is based on a cost-benefit analysis. When the negatives costs are higher, you're out the door. When the positive benefits are greater, you just want more.

Dating is based on a point system. Let's face it, we're all judgment machines. The more points you get the higher you rate. The better the date or relationship, the more points that are accumulated, and the more you want to be with him or her.

Remember these two important dating principles:

1. To thine own self be true
2. Do you want to be happy or do you want to be right?

Only you know what makes you happy and rings your chimes.
You can either date those guys or gals that will increase your happiness and connect with you in a successful relationship or you will have dead end dates.

We've all had those "no where" dates where, deep in your gut there's a strong sense that you're not going to be the dynamic duo, but you hope. You go anyway. And what happens? You have a less than stellar time. You come home deflated.

Then you get to be right about your belief, that there are only frogs and ducklings out there. You think that your worst nightmare is going to come true, that you are never going to find your prince or swan princess.

I was like that. I used to date stupid. I remember those times when I didn't give a person a chance or when I gave him way too many chances. Can you relate? Love can be so blind, especially when you see all the flags except the red ones.

It's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. The question is what do you do when it's you on the playing field? How do you know what to do? You can write to me for advice, which I hope you will. Take an opinion poll and ask your friends, we've all done that. Or use these little tests.
