Dating online can be great fun, stimulating and exciting. So let’s first get it into perspective. Some of us just like to have fun but are sick of the singles bars and other similar nite spots that are the last resort for finding a decent partner or lover.

They often result in the wrong person even if you are lucky enough to meet someone. Or, you may have once upon a time met someone that ‘fitted the bill’ but over time this has proved not to be the case any longer, so…long story short, you are now once again looking for a better fit.

You might be just plain lonely or recently dumped by that someone who promised to be there forever.

If you’re senior in years, you may just be seeking a companion or someone who has similar interests.

These days, it’s quite likely that you are someone who’s busy most of the time and don’t have the time to go galavanting around the place looking for a date and attending dinner parties with the hope that your friends have selected a decent blind date on your behalf.

Whatever your reason, online dating can definitely help make it happen much sooner than many of the tedious activities which most of us have experienced at some stage. Of course, you are also able to do this late at night (24/7) in your ‘jim jams’ when you have the time or better still, the inclination.

If you’ve found what you believe to be a quality site, and it has a large enough database to support your searches, then you’re half way there. While I’m on it, you would be best to register with 2 or 3 dating sites so that you can spread you options that much further.

This brings us to an extremely important consideration and the most imperative part of the process – Your Safety!

I won’t pretend to have all the answers, but as much as Internet dating sites have proven time after time that they ‘deliver the goods’, someone nasty or let me say unscrupulous turns up.

These loathsome characters can be easily avoided simply by following these rules and proceeding with caution. Follow these guidelines and you will enjoy what could be the beginning of a wonderful relationship without taking any risks.

If you’re smart, these points will become your checklist and eventually a habit.

Remain anonymous – do not reveal your real identity, email address, home address, telephone numbers, your birthday or indeed, your place of work during your early days of communication.

Don’t be dissuaded from the above point!

If you are operating from home check your ISP server to ensure your profile is not revealing more than you’d like.

Use alternative email services for dating (I have listed FREE services at the bottom of this page).

Take your time in your first telephone discussions – ask questions (nicely) remembering that they are probably in the same position as you.

When you do decide to meet for the first time, make sure it’s in a public place ie. Coffee shop etc. Do not meet at each others home or anywhere secluded or remote.

Take a mobile with you and more importantly, tell a friend or relation where you are going. Some people even have a friend turn up and sit at another table for comfort – without anyone else knowing of course.

Here’s the last point – stick to all the above points no matter what!

Here are some sites for free email services to help you remain anonymous;

Atlink.com

Bigfoot.com

Email4

life.com

Netforward.com

Netaddress.com

Mailzone.com

Hotmail.com

Follow these rules and on-line dating can lead you to great friendships, lovers and often marriage.

Enjoy!

Curious as to how hot Megan’s looks were during the film’s premieres? Here are some photos:

Wearing a white jersey Kaufman Franco gown for the flick’s L.A. premiere, isn’t Megan just hotter than all the Greek goddesses combined? I already am a fan of goddess-inspired gowns but this one just got me speechless. Just wow!

I am not really raving over pink frocks as I find them too girlie but this fuschia print strapless Armani Privé Fall 2007 dress that the actress wore for Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Moscow premiere was nothing girlie at all. With that fierce look and flowing sex appeal, who would think of girlie? This is one hot woman!

Attending the red carpet of the film’s UK premiere, the femme fatale that she is went classic elegance (but never without a hint of sexiness) with a black v-neck high twist jersey Kaufman Franco gown. Black may seem to be a safe choice for a celebrity fashion; in fact there’s nothing really stunning with the frock, but with Megan putting it on, the gown has transformed to something hypnotic. Whew!

While she went covered for the film’s UK premiere, her look in Germany was nothing but covered.

In a Roberto Cavalli maroon gown with a thigh high split, plus a gold snake framing the cut-out detail on her hip, would you ever doubt why more and more men go crazy over her despite the lack of talent?

Now with someone as h-o-t as Megan Fox, who could fault her for getting more fans even if she’s lacking in the talent department?

Well I’m actually more of a Robert Pattinson a.k.a. Edward Cullen fan than a Taylor Lautner a.k.a. Jacob Black fan. However, when I saw this photo of the latter attending the 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards, I’m honestly thinking of a change of heart. *Giggles*

Oh well, while that might not come too easy (I still am in-love with Edward, really) I thought having Taylor here in Celebrity Fashion Watch as our Beautiful Man of the Week would be enough to acknowledge the actor’s hunk and cuteness factor.

So aside from playing Jacob Black in Twilight, who is Taylor Lautner? Here are some information you might be interested to find out.

Born Taylor Daniel Lautner on February 11, 1992, Taylor is an American actor who, aside from being part of the Twilight flick, is also known for playing the cutie superhero, Sharkboy in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D.

If you find the 17-year-old’s gorgeousness a bit uncommon in Hollywood, well that’s because he’s from French, Dutch, German, and Native American ancestry (I wonder why most mixed-blood celebrities stand out more often than pure ones).

Coming with that good looks and acting talent, Taylor’s a martial artist too ranked number one in the world for NASKA’s Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms. Now that’s just H-O-T, isn’t it?

Anyway, if you can’t get over Taylor’s hotness, here are more snapshots of him during the 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards. Compared to his being half-naked in New Moon, I think I love seeing Taylor more suited up.

Cosmetics oneself or to hire a pro? When the major make-up artists do not hesitate to offer packages to 280 Euros (yes, you read correctly!) The issue to disguise oneself arises …

I choose a makeup artist if:

- I have the means. That is to say that I will not eat pasta with butter 6 months to cover the cost of makeup …

- I know what I want. This would be a shame to give free rein to flights of lyrical master of makeup and ending up with eyes to Amy Winehouse and the lips of The Mask …

I do make-up by myself if:

- I am not alone in the preparations. It takes a good mind to tell you to stop before blush look like Sue Ellen Ewing after 3 glasses of whiskey

- I have good material: suitable brushes, pencils sharpened, foundation of new and good quality …

Online Dating brings you together. Chat, get to know each other then arrange to meet in arguably the most beautiful city in Australia, Sydney. But where to eat? Online Dating Sites suggests some first date ideas in Sydney.

Sydney, Australia, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Sydney is very much dominated by its enormous harbour and absolutely stunning beaches running for kilometres along the city’s eastern edge.

Expensive Restaurants. (Get out the Platinum Card.)

The inner city of Sydney offers plenty of choices for fine dining. Select from restaurants situated right on the world famous Sydney Harbour, or opt for a restaurant housed in a building featuring the rustic, sand stone colonial architecture. The Rocks is an area located right in the middle of Sydney City itself. This is a meeting place where the Harbour and old character buildings adjoin each other. Totally impossible to select just the one restaurant from this location.

Circular Quay is another ideal area to have dinner in Sydney. There is plenty of public transport and you are right on Sydney Harbour. We liked the Oyster Bar due to its helpful staff, fantastic views, and diverse menu. Why not take a ferry ride after your meal to finish off the perfect first date? Bistro Lulu in the inner city Eastern suburb of Paddington offers an intimate ambiance and a fantastic French menu. If you want to blow your date away with a superb vista over the entire city of Sydney, then Forty One Restaurant is the venue for you. This restaurant is open for dinner Monday to Saturday and is located in the Chifley Tower in the centre of Sydney city.

Cheap and Cheerful. (You won’t need an overdraft.)

These are perfect for the financially challenged, and for those who don’t necessarily want to make their date uncomfortable by throwing the cash around on the first date. If you are going the cheap and cheerful alternative we recommend selecting a restaurant with plenty of character.

Radio Cairo definitely fits the bill with its ambiance and fantastic food. The menu for this eatery in Cremorne is based, not surprisingly, on North African cuisine. This restaurant gets a big tick for character and tasty food at an affordable price. Its location means that after your meal you can cross the road and catch a movie at the Orpheum, the only remaining Art Deco Cinema in Sydney. You can even grab a coffee or drink in this celebration of past architecture.

The Wet Paint Cafe in Bronte Beach, the eastern suburbs of Sydney also gets a big tick. This eatery features affordable Cajun style food with a touch of romance in the candlelit surrounds. One word, try and book a table for the front as the back of the cafe is a bit space challenged. Oscar’s near Darling Harbour is another great location as they have comfortable lounges you can settle back in with your date after your meal. This bar/restaurant/pub offers mid week specials with the bubbly and lobster being a steal.
