Q: I?m really confused because I hear so many different opinions. How do I know when the right time is for a first kiss? - Jason
A: The first kiss can be really amazing once you get through all the pressure around it. To help make things easier, the best thing to do at the end of a first date is to share a nice peck on the cheek and a hug. The second date is when you start really tuning yourself into the variety of clues she sends your way. The things you want to look for are whether she has held your gaze for longer than what seems normal, has she maybe touched your knee or arm when she laughed at your jokes. These are signs she?s ready for more than a peck on the cheek at the end of the date. If you lean in, remember to keep things soft and simple. Leave us with a little mystery.
Six Minute Dates is an excellent way to accomplish that first step in meeting other single people. I know of no other way to get out into the dating scene and really meet groups of other interested single people. That first, fun, face to face meeting is just enough time to answer that question: Do I want to see this person again or not? I met new people at every event I attended and for every hilarious or semi-hilarious potential match I made that didn't work out, at least I had found a way to be in the dating game. And it works! I met someone I could not have run into anywhere else. Our work and social lives would never have put us together - and we have only Six Minute Dates to thank for the introduction (and the friend who pressured him into attending that night). I have good news for single people out there: be open to meeting new people, be yourself and don't stop looking (dating is fun too!).
Sincerely,
Shannon S.

NOVEMBER 2005
Libra - You might feel just a teeny weeny itty bitty bit selfish on the 1st, 2nd and maybe even the 3rd. That's okay, but it does mean that these aren't particularly good days for romance. Take a break from looking for love as the month gets started, and spend some time focusing on yourself. By the 8th, you're back in fine romantic form, and you're ready to take on whatever (or whoever) comes your way. There's more romance in the air on the 12th and 13th, but don't forget: With romance comes responsibility for somebody else's feelings. The 15th, you are most likely to be found in a cozy corner somewhere smooching; the 21st, you really feel how much more energy this love affair has given you. The 26th, 27th and 28th, thank your lucky stars of love and kisses that you two found each other, and then take a little nap.
Scorpio - Everybody who meets you knows just how irresistible you can be when you put your mind (and your many, many charms) to it. And the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, it looks like you're putting your come-hither energies into a brand-new romance. That cute-as-a-button somebody doesn't stand a chance, so be sure you're there to catch them when they fall for you. The 8th and 9th you two could clash (yes, already). Be sure to be gentle -- they could be feeling a tad terrified by how hard they've fallen. The 14th, you'll need to roll up your sleeves and do some old-fashioned romantic work. You know, the kind that requires elbow grease. The 20th, you get what you want. Well, what else is new? Don't shy away from decisions on the 26th, 27th and 28th. The month ends the way it started -- with you being your totally irresistible self.
Sagittarius - You could be a little moody as the month starts -- maybe you feel like the cold autumn wind and the falling leaves aren't conducive to romance? You could very well find out (come the 4th and 5th) that you couldn't be more wrong. Who is that hottie who shows up in the chill of fall? They'll toast up your hands and your heart, that's for sure. The 9th, you impress your romantic interest with your eloquent ideas, and the 13th, you could be in for some serious activity. An old-fashioned hayride or brisk stroll through the colorful countryside, perhaps? The 18th, you two should sit down over hot chocolate and talk about anything (and everything) that comes to mind, and the 23rd, you might want to take a trip (together). By the 29th, you'll be back in reflective mode. What are you thinking about? And does it have anything to do with the cutie that's been perking up your fall?
Capricorn - You start the month in a cool, clearheaded, detached mood. This is good for many, many things, but maybe not for falling in love. Wait for the 6th and 7th, when your heart gets to chime in with a few ideas of its own, before you make any romantic moves. The 12th, you are feeling some outside pressures (is it work? family? friends? all of the above?), and this could be another time when it's better to put love on hold until you're in a better space for it. The 16th, you're talking a lot -- but are you saying anything? Ask the object of your affection, and they'll tell you the truth. By the 20th, you'll be fully emotionally present to return the favor, and your honey will really appreciate it. The 24th could prove unexpectedly romantic (a long-distance phone call? or a little love email? Either way, it's great!). The 29th, you're back in 'head' mode, so take the heart part slow.
Aquarius - As the month begins, you're feeling a little bit like a fish out of water; the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, you have the sensation that you're flapping around all over the place. Take a moment to figure out what's happening with you, and you might just realize (round about the 5th) that you have a new admirer. And you admire them too -- how convenient! You are feeling distracted on the 11th -- take care of the little nagging things you need to take care of, then you can think about love. The 12th and 13th, you might spend a lot of time with your head in the clouds (how's the view?). These are days when you may or may not want to deal with romance. The 16th, 17th and 18th, you don't have much choice: A really wild affair is going to come and find you, whether you're ready or not. Enjoy it! The 23rd, compromise with a certain somebody about an issue that has come between you. Watch your romantic step on the 25th, but by the 30th, take a deep breath. You've had a wild ride!
Pisces - You can often be found swimming in the silvery waters of relationships, and this month you could be doing your delicate, fishy, underwater thing even more than usual -- and even more romantically than ever. Starting the 1st, and continuing all month long, you and a partner could be checking out seaweed forests and coral reefs in the Sea of Love. The 5th, watch for a sharp-toothed somebody. The 10th, if you want to go out for steaks and your goldfish wants to stay home for vegetarian cuisine, do what they want. The 13th, write down your dreams when you wake up -- they could be very elucidating -- and then get ready for a day to enjoy your romance, which is going swimmingly. The 16th, you get a riddle instead of a love poem. By the 19th, you'll have your answer, all right, right from your angelfish's lips. And if it isn't already L-O-V-E, then it's probably headed that way! There could be more love in the air (or in the water) on the 24th, and by the 29th, you two are zipping along like a pair of very lovey electric eels.
Aries - Mother Nature is slowing way down this month, and you might be too -- at least when it comes to your romantically-charged relationships. That isn't to say that you won't see any activity. On the contrary, sometimes slower is much, much more intense. So, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, don't be afraid to put on the brakes a little. The 6th, it's time to slow down even more. It's all about the rhythm! The 10th, try your best to let go of any tension or frustration you might be feeling. You're itching to get where you're going, but don't forget to enjoy the ride. The journey is the destination, as you find out on the 12th and 13th -- but you already knew that! The 16th, things speed up (which is great), but it might make you long for the days of slow, lingering kisses. Go back to that mellow pace on the 21st, and you'll be in for serious romance. The 26th, you're especially charming, and the 30th, somebody wants to take it slow -- with you
Taurus - Octopi have lots and lots of arms, and the 1st and 2nd (and 3rd, for that matter) you are going to wish you were an octopus! Why? Because you could hold a very special someone at least four times as tightly as you can with two human arms. (Have you thought of trying to use your legs too? It's an idea, anyway, as long as you don't have to walk very far). The 7th, you might want to ask your special squid if they want a little room to breathe -- they have their own places to swim and sea life to see sometimes! The 11th, ask the other fish in the sea (that is, your friends) what they think. The 15th, a special somebody is going to wish upon a starfish that they were an octopus so that they could hold you tighter; if you clam up when they tell you how they feel on the 20th, you'll likely be sorry later. You two will have a whale of a good time together on the 25th, and things are flowing in the right direction by the 30th.
Gemini - Well, don't forget that fairy-tale endings are usually pretty gruesome, at least in their original versions. So if you feel like things in your romantic life are less than fairy-tale on the 1st, heck, do a little whoop-dee-whoop and count your lucky stars! Then go out and rent a Disney film. Some real-life romance (which is way better than the cartoon version) should show up in your life sometime around the 5th, and the 9th, a very mysterious stranger could make a bid for your attention. Do you have any challenges for your would-be love interest to perform? Think about it on the 13th, and tell them what you want on the 18th. (Should they change into frogs? be able to detect poisoned apples from a distance? talk about their feelings?) The 22nd, you two could have an ideological battle, but by the 26th, that old struggle could turn into some smooching. The 28th, your life is nice and romantic -- without the fairy tale.
Cancer - Uh-oh -- if you and the one you'd like to love are snarling at each other like a pair of wildebeests trapped in a cage on the 1st, you may need to take (and give) a little space! Just because you're cranky doesn't mean you aren't made for each other. Roam free like a gazelle on the plains on the 4th and 5th, then come back and see if maybe your love object hasn't transformed into a bird of paradise -- who's just dying to chat with you. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, you know! The 10th, you two are getting along like a kangaroo and its cub, and you feel safer than you would living in a tummy-pouch. The 15th, you are more charming than a platypus and a koala bear rolled into one, and somebody (maybe a zoologist?) with an eye for wild things will notice you. The 20th, you and your lovey-dove are in tune, and the 25th, this thing could really happen for you two. The 30th, set each other free -- then see if you come back.
Leo - You're going to have to leggo-your-ego a little on the 1st if you really want to let yourself fall in love. (And you really want to let yourself fall in love.) So loosen your grip and ease yourself away from that old 'all me, all the time' part of the psyche. Keep at it on the 2nd and 3rd, and by the 4th and 5th, you'll have your hands full again -- this time with a really incredible romance! Who knew psychology could be so much fun? The 9th, a few of those old bugaboos of the self could emerge to try to screw up your sushi date. We're talking ego, ego and more ego, with maybe a little fixation thrown in. Hey, it happens to everybody; what makes you special is that you're doing your best to deal with it. Your romantic partner is going to notice all your hard work on the 13th, and they'll give you a kiss. You make real strides on the 18th, and the 23rd, you should celebrate -- with a romantic date! The 28th, get ready for a little more letting go. Ahhhh!
Virgo - Sometimes you just can't get enough of love and romance. You are fascinated by other folks, and you love watching how human beings fall in and out of love. Which isn't to say that you fall in and out of love gratuitously, or even particularly often. It's just that you bring a natural curiosity to the process that makes the whole thing worthwhile, whether or not it works out. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd, you'll have lots to think about in the romantic arena. The 7th, get out your field guide to the wilds of romance -- you and a potential partner have spotted each other. The 13th, why don't you two romantic explorers go out to dinner somewhere off the beaten track? Then, by the 17th, do your best to communicate with your love interest in language they can understand (don't forget: It doesn't have to be verbal!). The 21st, you need to stay flexible, and the 25th, you two are having a ball together. The 29th, you look up and realize you've had a very interesting month!
