Dr Date Says: Get Out.

Tue, Dec 16, 2008The New Paper

Do one social activity a week
by David Tian
SOME people are lucky. They marry their childhood sweetheart at age 22 and never have to worry about dating again.
Most people are not so fortunate. And some of them simply never meet new love interests.
Years go by without a date. They spend New Year's Eve alone or with friends, pizza delivery, or a DVD.
If this is you, realise that you might never meet your ideal partner naturally and that you must take immediate action even if you don't feel like it.
Here is a great habit to have in your life: Carry out one social activity a week.
Just do it
Do this no matter what, even if you don't want to.
The following are some suggestions, but I am sure you can think of more.
Attend a singles' party. I know of several in town, including the Little Black Book Party at Mimolette on Thursdays.
Volunteer at a charitable organisation. Take up a new hobby that involves group activities, such as singing in a choir, forming your own band, or acting in a community production.
If you have the means, book a trip to Club Med, hire a dating coach or join a club.
You don't have to be any good at these activities to start. You just have to stick them in your schedule, show up, be sociable and smile.
Maybe you are worried that you have to go alone. That is no excuse to sit at home. Many people I know had to drag themselves to a social activity alone, and those were the nights they met their current partner.
Sometimes, it is better to go alone because you can manage your own time and go with the social flow. Besides, as an adult, you must learn to accept that you cannot always cling to someone for support.
At the start, these social activities may not always be pleasant or comfortable. But many of the most worthwhile things in life are outside one's comfort zone.
Even if you do not meet your ideal mate, just going out - whether it is to a museum, a sports event, or a party - is good for you. You meet new people, broaden your horizons, and practise your social skills.
Tell your friends that you're going to take up at least one social activity this week. And stick with it!

Singapore men put love on hold on financial worry

(16 Oct 2008 16:29)
By Koh Gui Qing

SINGAPORE, Oct 16 (Reuters) - "No money no honey" seems to be ringing true for Singapore's bridal agencies, which are seeing slowing business as the financial crisis and a looming recession hit love in the country.
Matchmaking agencies in the Southeast Asian country said the financial meltdown has forced some men to think twice about spending thousands of dollars to get a wife.
"About 10 percent of my customers say 'The economy is slowing down, I have no money,'" said Mark Lin, who runs the Vietnam Brides International Matchmaker in Singapore.
"In the past, girls used to get married in one to two weeks. Now it takes one to two months," he said, in a tiny office along Singapore's main shopping belt where five Vietnamese women chatted under walls covered with pictures of smiling newly weds.
Three to four customers pull out of their marriages each month now, forfeiting deposits paid to agencies, up from one to two clients before, Lin said.
The crisis, which sparked banking turmoil from the United States to Iceland, has traversed beyond financial markets into the real economy as falling home prices and fears of losing jobs force consumers to tighten their belts.
"Business has been very badly hit by the crisis. In the past, I would get around 20 calls a day. Now there are hardly any calls," said Hannah, who works at Truelove International Matchmaker in Singapore. She declined to give her last name.
"Some say the financial pressures from a marriage are just too great," she said, in a country that was booming last year but is expected to see a recession in the third quarter.
Couples in Singapore typically spend thousands of dollars when they tie the knot as newly weds host family and friends at a lavish dinner to mark the occasion.
Matchmaking is not uncommon in the country, which has a population of 4.8 million and a low birth rate, as older men turn to professionals to find a wife.
Some agencies help link up singles, while others -- like Lin's -- help customers find a prospective wife from abroad.
For S$8,000 ($5,450), a man can pick a wife from among the women in Lin's shop, send her to the doctor, and get his marriage registered -- all in 12 hours, but only if the woman fancies him too.
If he does not fancy the women in the shop, he can pay another S$2,000 to fly to Ho Chi Minh City and meet 50-100 women in a hotel, but Lin warns customers this is illegal.
"My customers are usually over 35. That is when they get disappointed with Singapore women, whom they say have too high expectations," he said.
The women can stay in Singapore for only two months on visitor's passes if they are not married to a local, Lin said.
But as business slows to a crawl amid a sagging economy, some women have to go home without a husband.
"I hope to get married," said 19-year-old Nguyen Thi Hue, who returns to Vietnam on Thursday after two months in Singapore. "I want a husband who can dote on me and love me."

Can Singles play Cupid?

TNP:

THREE singles are among the first batch of matchmakers who have been found to be just right to help you find your Mr or Ms Right.

They are among seven dating agencies and nine dating practitioners to carry the Social Development Unit (SDU) Trust Mark.
These dating agencies are expected to uphold the standards and integrity of the dating service.
Can matchmakers who are single help others find love successfully?
Associate Professor Paulin Straughan, chairperson of the Accreditation Council for the Dating Industry, said: 'I think, actually, they (single matchmakers) can capitalise on their singlehood status. They can put themselves in the position of their clients.
'What is it like to be single and looking for somebody? So, in that way, perhaps they may have a value-add to bring to the business.'
She added that what is more important is 'the training that the person has gone through, the kind of organisation that they work in, that backs up their work.
'Whether they are married or not really doesn't, I think, play an important, a key role, in the kind of quality services they can bring.'
On 23 Oct, The New Paper had reported that the matchmaking website of Who Works Around You was among the first to win SDU accreditation.
Yesterday, the selected agencies and practitioners received their accreditation from Mrs Yu-Foo Yee Shoon, Minister of State for Community Development, Youth and Sports, at the annual Partner Connection Trade Seminar.
