So, if you have read my last week’s blog, you are already acquainted with my lifestyle (which is not too complicated to follow, I daresay). For the others who are reading this blog for the first time, let me introduce myself just one more time. I am a single working woman (yes, I know that combination is very tough to handle!) and I am in the search for a perfect date. (the eternal quest for many). Last week, I described a date that did not go down quite well, and any way, it’s a new week! (yay!)

Messy Morning

I got up on a lazy Monday morning and my body refused to co-operate with me (I made sure it did not). I did not want to get up and get dressed for work, but one good look at the watch and I swear I could see my boss’s face in it screaming out loud “Late again. I have given you too many chances, you are fireddddd!”. Unable to deny the prospect of this possibility, I quickly got up and had got ready. I carelessly selected a causal top and a pair of old jeans and without even caring to do my hair, I took my handbag and headed out to my office.

Messy Morning

Crashing into a Gorgeous Guy at the Wrong Time

It was the same boring work as usual, and during lunch, I decided to give the calories a chance, and buy a grilled cheese sandwich. I was texting on my phone to my girlfriends when I practically crashed into the guy who stood next to me in the line at the café. The way he said “sorry”, with a mischievous grin caught my attentions and I immediately put down my lunch and started to take notice of him. (I was never good at concealing my interest for a guy!) Pretending to be waiting for a friend, I took advantage of the time to rush to the restroom to do some last moment damage control.

Every Girl's Nightmare

Damage Control?

Aaaah my hair, it was a bundled mess (I could be one of those poster girls for bad hair), and my make-up was non-existent. I tried to pinch my cheeks to make them as pink as possible and then tried to look as appealing as possible (which I do not think is possible without make-up!!). I hung around, till he got his chance and then sat down on the same table with him for lunch.

Missed the Opportunity of a Life-Time

I think I was too self-aware of the fact that I was completely nude without make-up, the right clothes and a nice handbag and I tried to fidget with my hair and clothes in a way too obvious that made him take attention ( I told you, not good at concealing!) I asked him what he does, and guess what, he’s fashion photographer!! (irony of life) here, I was looking my worst, and whom I am speaking to? a fashion photographer. I could swear I never felt so self-conscious and was so embarrassed, that I could not wait to get out of that place. I did murmur some excuse and came running back to my office. I was cursing myself all the way for not taking the care to dress properly. Who knows maybe things would have worked out? Maybe he would have asked me for his next photo shoot? Maybe I could have been the next big thing? (wishful fantasies of every woman!)

Lesson Learned

The only lesson this episode has taught me is to never under-dress! (ever). I am going to get up and put on something cute (like all single women looking for a date should) and then go on with my work. I am showing my best side to the world from now on (that comes with a lot of hard-work). So, goodbye my friends till the next week, and remember from my experience to always dress cute! (you never know who and when you can meet someone!!) Till next week…with a new adventure…its kiss and good bye!

Lessen Learned

Getting up in the morning, and making sure you dress alright every single day, enough to attract Mr. Charming is a painful part of every single girl’s life. To top it all, after going through the excruciating process of making the same mistakes over and over again, by choosing to go out with all the wrong kinds of people, it’s a miracle that my faith and optimism never fades ( I am pretty sure I can see a lot of heads nodding, welcome to the club people!). Ahhh, hope! It’s all I have!!

So, now you must be curious about my love life( if you can call it that), well let me tell you before you get all excited, I am famous for dating all kinds of incompatible people. Trust me when I say this, no person can give you more examples of disaster dates than me! The other day I met this totally cute guy (stunning looks), and as expected of me, I fell in love with him in the first 30 seconds itself (it’s the after –effect of all the melodramatic series on television promoting love at first sight) and I decided why not ask him out myself? (Go, girl power!) And I did (after a lot of self-mustered courage), and he did agree and we walked down to the nearest coffee shop. (Yes, I know that was very fast, but ladies there is no time to waste!)

Mr. Charming

Talking over a cup of coffee, I realized this guy has absolutely nothing to talk except about himself and his good-looking features and fortune. He started off talking about his life, school, college, parents, friends……
and the list went on…(He did have the nerve to mention how often he is addressed by us – girls and to be asked for a date!!). Come-on people, I do not want to know about the autobiography of a person I met like 5 minutes ago! (And how much competition I have). The only thing he asked me was (I am guessing he did), was my name. It was like a never ending interview session with the interviewer (me, in this situation) being completely quite and the candidate taking complete charge. He was so full of himself that he even asked me how I knew, although his good-looking, that he’s free for dating!!

Finally, the lunch break was over, and we had to head back to office (he did confirm my name mid-way again) after reaching my desk, I finally began to appreciate the beauty of silence. Was it me being naïve or dating a beauty has its pitfall? My friends say I should check more on a guy before asking for a date, but whom and what to ask is still a mystery for me. Can online dating sites match me with better success or ease? (I am thinking on checking one of the dating sites, any suggestions?) Well, that was how my last date went. So, can’t get enough of my dramatic life?!! Stay tuned, and I will update you with the latest happenings of my “live life”. (Hmmm!)

How many times it has been that when we are totally confused about the clothes we have to wear, the shoes we have to buy or simply the man we have to choose, we turn to our friends? Well, the answer is almost always! Simply because no one knows us the way our friends do. Growing up together has its advantages, the most important one being the ability to know our friend’s inside out. Friends always know our choices and preferences when it comes to everything! This is the main reason why trusting your friends to select a date or match for you always works!

Help your friends find a match – They will help you back

We all have friends who are looking for the one right person, or we might be looking for the perfect date ourselves. What better way to do this than using the “Match Friends” feature offered by the XibYa application? Not only can we help our friends by matching them with a person who can prove to be their future companion but we can also benefit ourselves from the use of XibYa-Match-Friends application. The match friends feature offered by XibYa is connected to one of the most popular social networking websites, Facebook and this makes it a highly convenient feature. We can simply open the application, browse through our friend’s profiles and then match them with people who we think can prove to be compatible with them.

So what can you do?

The matching can be done on various aspects such as love of dancing, movies, books, music, travel, team and even options such as – will get along, perfect match, could match or should go together. People can also be matched for reasons that combine studies, business and work. With so many options and filters to help us choose the best matches, we can surely find a good match for our friends and help them have the perfect date. We can also request a match from our friends! Why not share their knowledge to gain new friends? Other than dates, we can even make great friends for work, employment or any other issue at mind with the help of this application, all this without sharing any of our private information.

XibYa-Match-Friends – It’s allot better then other online-dating websites

Usually, on online dating websites, we need to create our profiles and then matched with people all across the world. This is a very impractical way of doing things, as matching with strangers is always associated with some risk factor and also being matched with a stranger is a very poor option as compared to the ability to being matched by a friend. Simply because no one knows us the way our friends do. Thus, XibYa’s Match-Friends is the best thing that could have happened to online dating. So, what are you waiting for? Go, match your friends and get a match yourself!

How many times have you said to your friends or family “Err, I had gone on a date with this guy I met on an online dating website and guess:  The date turned out to be a complete disaster. It was so awkward and we totally had nothing in common. I wanted to run from that place as fast as I could”. Let me guess, if you are single and in search of a good date, you must have had that experience at least once. Trust me, as I had it several times myself! After all such experiences, I was totally put-off from online dating till I came across a great Facebook application that includes “match friends” feature.

Let is be light

Instead of depending on unknown websites for providing you with so- called perfect dates, you can now find a great date, among your friends! The best part- you can do it through Facebook! Now, I know it is too exciting to be true but it is! Match friends is a feature offered by the XibYa-Match-Friends application, which allows us to match our friends with others in our friends list on Facebook by simply pointing out to the common aspect that connects them. It could be books, movies or even studies! You can simply go through your friends list and then match two people whom you think are most appropriate for dating each other and send them the match proposal. They can then take off from there!

The perfect date

Ask your friends for a match

The same principle applies to you too! Your friends can simply match you with a person on Facebook through the help of XibYa-Match-Friends application, whom according to their opinion is a good match for you. You can then speak to the person and give it a chance! Matching done by friends is much more likely to succeed than matching done by a random website with strangers. With such an amazing application, Cupid is going to be in action a lot more!
