Michael from Westminster says: No one real location - though I love going to LA, since I'm pretty much on the border of HB and LA County. It's so much more diverse, cultural, and w/ so many more things to do.

patricia from Los Angeles says: If it is a first date, I think a breakfast diner is a good first date. We can have coffee, breakfast or lunch while we get to know each other. Some of my favorite places to eat include Houston's (Prime Rib), Lobster House, Sizzler, most Mexican and Soul Food restaurants, Burger King etc. I like to play slot machines and I would enjoy having a complete day/night at one of the local casinos who also had live entertainment. I love music so a concert anywhere would be enjoyable.

Eileen from Pasadena says: A restaurant with excellent food overlooking the ocean, a walk in the park, a movie theatre once we know each other and creative surprises by my date.

Melissa from Yorba Linda says: A coffee house that features local musicians, playing a variety of music, mostly folk music which I enjoy.

Post Date: Apr 10, 2011

Colleen from Pasadena says: A walk at Huntington Gardens especially if the weather is nice. A hike on a nearby trail, there are plenty! A walk/run at the Rose Bowl. I like food and wine at Cafe Santorini or Villa Sorriso restaurants in Old Town. Sushi is fun anywhere, watching at the bar. The ahi sandwich is fabulous at The Yard House, melts in your mouth. I enjoy movies at the Lemaelle or Arclight/Paseo. Coffee is a treat at Intelligencia, and a visit to Vromans Bookstore is fun!

Nannette from Laguna Niguel says: Listening to music at the Montage in Laguna Beach....

Marvalicious from Glendale says: Disneyland!!! Hollywood Bowl: any concert (especially the 'Sound of Music Singalong' in September); any theater for a show or concert. Any trendy new restaurant.

Post Date: Mar 8, 2011

Audrey from Altadena says: Anywhere where there is art happening, or nature (the beach, a mountain trail, a park, etc), or both. A special cafe or restaurant with a small town feeling, with books and international music. A great dance place. That makes for a lot of places in LA! I am flexible.

Post Date: Jan 30, 2011

Don from Glendale says: This probably sounds like a little much for some as a first date. (But since you asked!) I would love to go horseback riding on the trail below the Hollywood sign. We would go with a group, and still have a chance to talk. It is a fun and relaxing, casual way to get to know someone new.

A Serious Relationship…Are You Ready?

Unfortunately, knowing for certain when you are ready for a serious relationship, isn't one of the simpler things in life. There'll come a time when we "think" we're ready. But then, after we've leaped in, we feel like we're drowning, and we start struggling and kicking to get out of the water. This causes sadness, and often anger, to the person we are with. It's usually not something we're proud of doing to another person, or ourselves. So, here're a few dating and relationship tips to consider before you jump off the cliff…and then realize you have no idea how deep the water is.


The very talented and extremely funny comedian, Jeff Foxworthy, used to say, "You know you're a redneck if…". Well, you know you're ready for a serious relationship if:

  • You start to be bored when going out with others who are not contenders for a long-lasting future, even if they are handsome or beautiful, smart, entertaining and/or recent lottery winners.  Read More

Top 10 Dating Tips

1. Date Night Plan

Waiting until the last minute may make things spontaneous - or disastrous. Plan your date in advance, set expectations and ensure your date is in agreement. Know how to get there, where to park, when things are open, etc. Look like you know how to make things happen seamlessly.

2. Appropriateness Date Location

Make sure what you've picked out and/or suggested has some relevance to what this person might actually enjoy. Doing something you both enjoy will go a long way towards relationship building.

3. Sensitivity

If your date happens on a weeknight, don't select a movie ending at 11.00 p.m. The more solutions you've prepared for in advance, the less anxious your date will be. This clearly shows your thoughtfulness.

4. Respect

Sure, she or he really looks great and you're more impressed as the evening goes along. However, don't push physical attraction too soon. You could be making a serious mistake if you attempt to manhandle her or him.

5. Listen to Your Date

Listening is very important at any stage of dating or a relationship. Show her or him you know them better at the end of the date, than you did at the beginning.

6. Stay Light

Do something positive you both can share in, without it being embarrassing. Select something appealing to your date; i.e., go to a water park if she or he likes water, or an outdoor rock concert if they like the performers. Perhaps, see a romantic comedy or take a hike. Whatever you're doing, don't sit and talk about your exes, troubled kids, etc. These are conversation topics which will come later if the relationship progresses.

7. Connect

Make a real effort to find commonalities. Listen and learn a little about each other's childhood and past. See if your values and life's outlook are similar. This is an excellent exploration period.

8. Anticipate

As always, you should look your best. A light kiss at the end of the night that promises more…someday...is sexier than a lip scrunching passionate kiss that surprises your date and possibly puts him or her off.

9. Laugh

Laughter is bonding, infectious and attractive. If you're going to the movies, ensure the film's funny; if going to a comedy club, know the comedians are funny; or go roller skating and laugh at yourselves. Laughter is a great release for any nervousness.

10. Show Appreciation

Acknowledge someone's kindness, thoughtfulness or generosity. Don't assume anything and don't come off as being spoiled. Verbally let them know their hard work, planning or good humor didn't go unnoticed. And, make yourself an irresistible choice for future dates.
