When you join our dating site you need a nickname

So what exactly is it and what should you use?

Your privacy is very important, so when you sign up to the Single Solution you can choose an anonymous Nickname .   Yes, you do need to enter your real name and details too, but only we can see that. Everyone else will just know you by your Nickname.

It’s so important that you spend a little while thinking up a suitable choice for this as other users may judge you on it.   Many people overlook this and just enter the first thing that comes into their heads….bad idea.

Of course, you can use your real first name, but never your whole name.  The problem with using a first name is that it’s unlikely to be unique and you won’t be the first to choose it. In these cases we add the number to your name.   So if you are Chris you might find you have to be Chris52.  That’s not ideal if you are only 40!

When you attend our singles parties, you’ll get a name badge with your Nickname on too.  This is to make sure that everyone can contact each other easily through the website after the event.   Not everyone realises this which leads to much amusement when they have to walk around with “CuteElephant” or “MarksandSpencer” all night.

Good examples of Nicknames are those that express your personality or interests.  I’d avoid wacky or nicknames that too clever.

So go for something along the lines of  “KeepFitKaren”,  “ShiningStar”, “Enigmatic” or perhaps  “Dancefloor Diva”

Good luck!

Here is this week’s dating problem

By our Dating Coach and Dating Expert

Dear James, I’ve been with my boyfriend for around a year and a half, and the other day he told me he was fed up of the same old routines in life. He has been stuck in the same job for 2 years, and I understand that he might not be fulfilling his career needs but he said it was a bit of everything that was getting him down.

I asked him if it was anything to do with me, or our relationship and he said he didn’t know and that he needs time to think about things. I don’t understand why he is suddenly feeling like this, and I’m worried that he might just be saying that he is fed up of everything, rather than admitting he is actually fed up of me.

I don’t want to lose him, what am i supposed to do?

Here’s my reply:

It’s a horrible situation but it might not be as bad as you imagine.  He’s found himself stuck in a rut and become fed up with life. As such he’s become depressed and associates everything (including you) with his miserable feelings.

If you don’t want him to get worse and risk your relationship then you need to do all you can to snap him out of it.  If he hates his job then encourage him to quit it and find something he enjoys. Life is too short do spend so long doing something he hates.  It might be tough for a while but his quality of life will improve and so will his mood.

You can also help by giving him things to look forward to – perhaps some nights out, special meals in or a weekend away somewhere. A change of scenery and some time away from his normal routines might just do the trick.

If you have your own dating dilemma or problem then get in touch.  I will answer the best ones in the blog.

Do you have a Valentine’s crush?

Here’s how to let know – the right way.

Valentine’s Day is a wonderful day for singles.  You’ve probably got a crush or two that you want to let know you are keen on them.  But there’s a right way and a wrong way of doing it.

The easy, common thing to do is too send out anonymous card and maybe even flowers or chocolates.  You can brighten their day and there’s no fear or rejection.   However, this really doesn’t help you very much!   If you leave them wondering who their admirer then you probably won’t get a date.

Don’t think you can sent a text or email either.  This not only makes you look like you can’t be bothered but also that you won’t spend any money.

It’s much better to do something bold that will make them think.  If you want to give them a card or present them do it face to face.  If that’s not possible, then at least put you name on it.

Remember, it’s the romantic gesture that will have more of a lasting impact than the actual “item.”  So you don’t need to spend a fortune as long as you put some thought into it and make them feel special.

Good luck!
