New Jersey Singles Reviews 8 Signs You Complicate Dating

Posted on January 12, 2018 by Nicole

Dating is confusing and weird on its own. But it doesn’t have to destroy your life. In fact, it really shouldn’t a nuisance. It’s not good to spend your free time worrying so much about your dating life or worrying why you’re single while all your friends are in happy relationships.

If you haven’t had too much luck in dating, then maybe it’s you who’s making things more complicated. Today, New Jersey Singles reviews ways you ruin your dating life and prevent yourself from finding love.

You never trust anyone when they say they like you.

In your mind, it’s too hard to believe it when someone is into you. You can’t believe someone likes you because you’ve been burnt so many times before. So what if they say they like you? All those people who broke your heart in the past said the same thing. Honestly, if someone says they like you, they do, and you should believe it. Otherwise, you’re never going to find love.

You don’t ask anyone on a date.

Yeah, it’s cool being asked out by someone. At least you know then that they’re interested in seeing you. But if you never do any asking, what if there’s someone great you want to see who doesn’t ask you out? You’re selling yourself short and missing out on great possibilities by not coming out of your comfort zone.

You worry when things are going too perfectly.

If the person you’re seeing starts to express their feelings for you and how they enjoy spending time with you, you start to worry why things are going so well—almost too good to be true. In other words, you freak out. You tend to worry about everything and overanalyze everything to boot. When you overanalyze your dating life, you’ll overcomplicate things and end up pushing them away.

You think about your friends’ relationships too much.

It’s only natural to compare your dating life to that of your friends’. But if you continue to do this, then you’re only going to hurt yourself. Guess what? Everyone has different relationships, so don’t compare yours to theirs. Do yourself a favor, take a deep breath and focus on your own dating life.

You don’t want to come on too strong.

It really stinks to be called clingy for asking someone out on a date. Instead of freaking out over coming on too strong with the person you’re into, why not just go with the flow and be open about your interest in them? You’re going to be miserable if you pretend you’re too busy to see them. There’s no reason to hide your feelings if you like someone.

You see everyone as the exact same.

It’s easy to get into the habit of comparing people you dated in the past, whether it’s casually or in a serious relationship. That’s normal, everyone does that. The trouble starts when you don’t believe there are any good people left and treat new love interests like past ones. That’s when you start to believe there’s no point in dating because there are no good singles left. That’s a negative state of mind you need to get out of.

You create problems that aren’t there.

Does this sound familiar? You’re one of those people who complicates every single little thing. You always have a worst-case scenario going on in your mind no matter how great things are going.

You forget the entire point in dating.

Of course, your number one goal is to find love, and you want to take dating seriously. You have your future to think about and definitely want to settle down. But if you forget the entire point of dating, which is to have fun and enjoy yourself, then you’re basically doing it all wrong. Forget about the future, stop overanalyzing everything, relax, and have a good time.

If you want to find love in New Jersey, then you’re going to have to stop complicating everything in your dating life. Enjoy dating for what it is and go with the flow.

New Jersey Singles Reviews Why Long-Distance Relationships Fail

Posted on January 7, 2018 by Nicole

It’s a well-known fact that long-distance relationships are very difficult to maintain. They don’t often work out. As matchmakers, we know firsthand that many long-distance relationships fail right after they start. Long-distance relationships look romantic in movies, but they’re not really that romantic in real life.

Long-distance relationships succumb to everyday battles and struggles. It’s easy to Skype all the time and exchange compliments on WhatsApp. But everyone knows that the foundation of any relationship is real life quality time, communication, and trust. But what if your partner is thousands of miles away from you? And let’s face it, talking can become even more difficult if the two people live in different time zones. Although absence does make the heart grow fonder, we’re not really sure how many couples actually make it to the finish line with so little face-to-face time with one another.

If you’re just starting a long-distance relationship and are confused about where it’s heading, let us show you the reasons why long-distance relationships don’t usually work out. Today, New Jersey Singles reviews the reasons long distance relationships often fail right after they start.

There’s no physical contact.

Everyone has their share of needs and wants in a relationship. And perhaps the first one is physical attention. When you’re involved in a long-distance relationship, physical contact doesn’t exist. They can’t hold your hand, caress your feet, or give you a hug. Initially it might be okay, but after a few months pass, you’ll start craving that physical care and attention you used to get.

Temptation is everywhere you look.

This is perhaps one of the trickiest parts of being in a long-distance relationship. It is not easy to resist temptation when your partner isn’t there with you. For the sake of love, you might resist. But being tempted time and time again gets more difficult by the day. Soon you’ll start to enjoy mingling with other people. Not many people can resist and end up falling for temptation. And temptation doesn’t just consist of hot women or handsome men. It can also come in the form of a new lifestyle, new friends, or even unhealthy things.

Jealousy creeps in.

If your partner is in a different country and sends you a WhatsApp message saying he or she is out to dinner with someone from work, that’s definitely going to make you jealous. It doesn’t matter how secure you are in your relationship, when you can’t see your partner, jealousy creeps in. it is only natural to feel jealous. You wish you knew who your partner was going out with—you drive yourself nuts wondering if they’re seeing someone behind your back. Some couples are able to get past this phase of jealousy, while others end up calling it quits because it proves to be too much pressure on the relationship.

Financial problems arise.

Long distance relationships are strictly virtual. You only talk via phone, video chat through Skype, and message through other apps. This can go on forever. FaceTime cannot replace face-to-face time. There is nothing like cuddling up at home watching movies together. After some point in time, one of you is going to have to buy a ticket to visit the other, which can be very expensive. This can not only be taxing on you, but it can be expensive too. How often can you afford to fly down and see your lover before you break the bank?

Communication is troublesome.

In a long-distance relationship, communication is the biggest issue. If you live in different countries and share different time zones, the problem is even bigger. You can’t always talk to your partner. The communication gap often leads to misunderstandings and causes fights.

If you’re already in a long-distance relationship, or are planning to be in one, keep these points in mind. We’re not completely bashing long-distance relationships. If you know how to tackle it, then good for you. But we’ve seen them fail time and time again.

If you’re ready to have a loving and meaningful relationship, contact our New Jersey matchmakers and let us help you find it. Let us introduce you to quality local singles who are also serious about dating and compatible with you. Call 1 (888) 417-0020 to book your 100% FREE, in-depth matchmaking consultation today.

New Jersey Singles Reviews 6 Tips to Make Dating Easier

Posted on December 21, 2017 by Nicole

The dating scene nowadays isn’t what it used to be. It’s actually dead. Every man you meet acts like a gentleman for the first few weeks because all he wants to do is hook up with you. While it’s easy to think that casual flings only happen on dating sites and mobile dating apps, that’s not true. They happen in the real world too. Most men only have one thing on their mind, sex. But don’t get us wrong, there are a few men out there who are still interested in a relationship. But finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack. But don’t worry, we’re not here to deter you. We’re here to help you out!

Today, New Jersey Singles reviews expert tips to make the most out of your dating life and improve your chances of finding love.

1. Stop Putting Up a Front

You have always been told to be your true self. It might be annoying, but it’s 100% true. If you put up a front or act different, then no one is going to get to know the real you. Whether you have a love for 80s music, a unique hobby, or a passion for running, don’t be afraid to reveal yourself.

2. Don’t Think Small Talk Is Bad

People act like small talk is the worst thing that could ever happen. But why? Small talk is good. Small talk is a great way to get to know someone new, so don’t freak out if the guy you’re chatting starts off with a little small talk. Whether he mentions the weather or the fact that the holidays are just days away, it’s okay to engage in small talk.

3. It’s Okay to Talk about Politics

Some people would say the opposite, but we firmly believe there’s nothing wrong with talking about politics. After all, we live in a very political world nowadays, and if you don’t talk about it, it looks like you don’t even care. It’s a good idea to mention what you’re interested in and your political affiliations. This way you can gauge if the guy you’re talking to is on the same page as you.

4. If You Had a Good Time, Do Not Play Games

If you had a wonderful date, why play coy? Tell this guy that you had a great time and that you want to see him again. Why play games and stay silent if you made a connection with someone? Nowadays, making a connection like that is rare. Women can go on 50 dates before ever finding someone who is halfway decent, so when you hit it off with someone, don’t let them get away.

5. Think Ahead

Can you see a future with him? Common dating advice will tell you not to get too far ahead of yourself, but we’re not typical—we’re matchmakers. There’s nothing wrong with wondering how he will fit into your life. If you can tell that you won’t get along, don’t see him anymore. But if you feel a connection and think he will be a great addition to your life, then obviously continue to see him.

6. Stick Around If You’re Having a Good Time

There are many theories floating around about how long a first date should be. Some people say make it under an hour while others say an hour plus. However, we’re different because we’re matchmakers. If you spark a connection with him, then you can continue the date for as long as you want. For example, if you’re done with your meal, who is stopping you from grabbing coffee down the road and walking around the park?

Dating is supposed to be fun, but we all know that dating today isn’t fun, especially with players, jerks, and pigs in today’s dating scene. Hopefully, if you follow these tips from our New Jersey matchmakers you’ll get what you want out of your dating life. And if you don’t, you can always book an appointment and let us make it easier and more enjoyable for you.

New Jersey Singles Reviews How to Celebrate Christmas with Friends

Posted on December 19, 2017 by Nicole

It’s the most wonderful time of year, for sure, but it also happens to be the loneliest time of year if you’re single. But if you have friends, you’re lucky. Instead of staying in and moping around about your single status, why don’t you reach out to your friends who are also single? Get ready for a fun holiday season with your best friends.

Today, New Jersey Singles reviews wintery date ideas to spend Christmas with your closest friends and loved ones.

1. Have a Christmas movie marathon.

Home Alone, It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, and Charlie Brown… There are so many Christmas movies playing this time of year, so call up your closet friends, dress up in your comfy PJs, grab some popcorn, and have an all-day Christmas movie marathon.

2. Bake some cookies.

Nothing will get you in the holiday spirit faster than baking some delicious Christmas cookies. If you and your friends are feeling a little daring, why not bake a gingerbread house from scratch? This is a fun and delicious activity to get in you the Christmas mood.

3. Buy an ugly Christmas sweater.

We’re pretty confident you have a few holiday parties lined up, or maybe you’re hosting one of your own. Why not grab the attention of someone you have your eyes on by wearing a quirky Christmas sweater? Be creative with this one because the ugliest Christmas sweater always gets the most attention.

4. Go to a holiday event.

Whether you’re a concert fan, sports fanatic, or theatre lover, there are plenty of events happening around the holiday season. It’s Christmas, you deserve to spoil yourself with front row seats, don’t you think?

5. Enjoy the winter weather.

Snow is so magical this time of the year (when you don’t have to drive in it). After the first big snowfall, hang out with your friends and make snow angels or have a snowball fight. No snow? Check out a local ice-skating rink instead. Just make sure you wear padding just in case you fall (just kidding).

6. Eat, eat, eat.

It’s the holiday season and everyone is entitled to do a little over-indulging in some rich and delicious holiday treats. Go ahead and have that extra cookie. Or why not make it two? Who cares! This year, forget counting those calories; after all, those fitness resolutions don’t start until the new year.

7. Hit up the mall for some shopping.

Christmas shopping is so much better when you’re doing it with your friends. After you and your friends shop til you drop, get a Christmas picture with Santa and post it on your social media accounts. Hey, Christmas isn’t just for kids.

8. Get your nails done or treat yourself to a nice haircut.

Go all out and get a festive mani or a new hairstyle for the festive season. While wearing red and green a week before Christmas is a must, the holiday mani and pedi will also get you in the spirit.

9. Decorate your place.

Sure, you don’t have a partner to help you decorate your home, but you do have good friends. Now is the time to break out those boxes and deck the halls. You can even dress up your cat or dog with reindeer antlers. The more holiday decorations you have, the better you’ll feel.

10. Spread holiday cheer.

Ride around your town singing your favorite holiday tunes. Just kidding! Spread the love by helping those in need. Gather up your friends and volunteer at a local shelter, soup kitchen, or food bank. You’ll feel so much better by helping others in need this time of year.

Follow these ten fun ways to enjoy Christmas with your best friends and you’ll quickly forget the fact that you’re single for the holidays.

If you’re single and ready to take the first step to finding that special someone, contact our skillful matchmakers today and let us help you find them. Call 1 (888) 417-0020 today to book your FREE matchmaking consultation with New Jersey Singles. We’re ready and eager to help you find the love you desire and deserve!

New Jersey Singles Reviews How Singles Can Enjoy Christmas

Posted on December 6, 2017 by Nicole

Celebrating the holidays alone can be tough at times. Everyone is having the time of their life drinking Bailey’s & hot cocoa, hanging Christmas decorations, putting up their trees, and listening to holiday music while you’re just running out of wine faster than ever before.

If the universe is making you spend the holidays alone, taunting you with happy couples on Facebook and Instagram. Oh, yeah, you know those couples who re wearing matching plaid pajamas, but don’t panic. Being single for the holidays actually has many perks. Today, New Jersey Singles reviews the benefits of spending the holidays alone.

1. Decorate Your Home

You’d be surprised how many single people don’t like to decorate a tree or their home. Really, snap out of it! It’s time to turn that Scrooge frown upside down! As an added bonus, you get to pick whatever theme you want to go with this year. If you want to hang non-traditional Christmas colors, you can—no one can stop you. This year is all about celebrating the way you want to celebrate (and decorate).

2. Bake Something

It might seem a little cliché, but the holidays are a great excuse to overindulge in delicious food, as well as give delicious food to other people. Just because you don’t have a partner doesn’t mean you can’t bake something delicious for friends, family, or coworkers. Trust us, everyone will love your shortbread cookies. And as a bonus, there won’t be any fighting over who gets to lick the cookie dough from the bowl, right?

3. Spoil Yourself

Aside from making yourself something delicious, another huge perk of being single for the holidays is the fact that you don’t have to spend a lot of money on a partner. So what do you do with the extra cash you have on hand? Why not gift yourself something nice or save it for a vacation in the upcoming year?

4. Dress Up

Wearing a nice holiday outfit is an instant mood booster. And there are no rules as to what to wear here. You can wear whatever you want—sparkles, a ridiculous holiday sweater, or faux fur. Have fun and embrace the holidays, and don’t be afraid to break out those ugly holiday sweaters.

5. Hang Out with Your Friends

There’s a ton of stuff to do around the holidays that doesn’t involve other couples. Who says that you can’t go to a Christmas market or winter festival with your close friends? Get dressed in your coziest outfit, take pictures, and create new memories with those you care about most in life.

6. Get Yourself New PJs

We don’t know why but new PJs are very therapeutic. There’s something warming about new pajamas, and thankfully the holidays are a time when cozy PJs are everywhere. You will love your new pajamas as you get comfy watching holiday movies.

7. Be Active

If you want to sulk around at home, that’s totally up to you. But winter is a goldmine for fitness goals since the gym and fitness classes are less crowded around this chaotic time of year. Winter blues and seasonal depression are very real, and unfortunately they’re both amplified during the romantic holiday season.

If the thought of spending yet another holiday alone has you down and out, take advantage of the local gym and fitness classes. Trust us, it will make you feel better about indulging in those delicious holiday treats and boost your spirits in no time.

8. Hang Out with Your Family

Whether your family is blood related or a group of close friends, being with people who care about you is the best part of the holiday season. We know that it’s crippling not to have someone beside you to spend the holidays with. But you can create your new tradition.

The holidays don’t have to be a dreadful time when you’re single. Just follow these tips from our New Jersey matchmakers and get into the holiday spirit in no time!

New Jersey Singles Reviews Holiday Struggles for Singles

Posted on November 29, 2017 by Nicole

If you’re going to see your family for the holidays, then you’re very fortunate because many people work too far away and can’t make the trip. If you happen to be single, you already know that Christmas parties with family are a bit of a struggle. Yes, you love your family but don’t like being bombarded with questions about your single status. But beyond that, there are also a few things you have to deal with when you go over to your family’s house for Christmas.

Today, New Jersey Singles reviews a few challenges of spending the holiday with your family.

1. Traveling is expensive & a little bit stressful.

If you happen to live far away from your family, then chances are you’re going to have to take public transportation. When you finally get there, you’re going to want to take a nap. But, no, you can’t because your mom and dad are excited to see you and want to chitchat the day away. You’re already down and out about your single status, and now you’re tired too.

2. You’ll have to answer questions about your single life.

Ah, the questions—the number one challenge of spending the holidays with your family when you happen to be single. If you’re taken, no one asks you anything about your love life. Unfortunately when you’re single, your mom, dad, and Aunt Susie want to know why you’re in your 30s and single. There’s no way to avoid those much-dreaded questions about your romantic life or lack thereof.

3. You get treated like a kid.

This could be a wonderful thing since everyone in the world loves being pampered by their parents. But when they start asking where you’re going at night and what time you’ll be back, this can turn sour quickly. The truth is, you’ll never really be a grown up in their eyes. It’s a tough thing to remember, especially around the holidays when you’re trying to escape everyone’s desire to know about your non-existent dating life.

4. Your parents will guilt trip you.

Every parent’s superpower is guilt tripping their son or daughter. No matter how good you are to them, they have a way of making you feel like you’ve done something wrong. Maybe one of them will bring up the fact that you’re single but never visit them. Maybe they’ll be harping you about not giving them the grandchild they so desperately want. Either way, they’ll just try or guilt trip at some point during your holiday stay at their place.

5. Someone inevitably brings up an ex of yours.

What happened to Mary or John? They used to come with you to the holiday parties all the time. The Christmas party was going great until nosy Aunt Lucia ruined the mood. In an ideal word, they would have forgotten about your ex. But unfortunately for you, well, they never forget anything when it comes to your love life.

6. Everyone fights for your time.

If you have a big family, then chances are you’re going to be talking to every single one of them. That also means going to multiple locations and staying at different places. Because no one has seen you in a while, everyone fights for your time, which leaves you feeling exhausted.

7. Figuring out what to get them is nearly impossible.

What do you give the people who are your number one supporters in life? Not only will all the gifts in the world not be enough, but if you do get them, they’ll leave you broke. Plus, shopping for mom and dad is always harder than it seems. Well, we guess it’s the thought that counts, right?

8. Knowing the vacation will soon come to an end is sad.

Although you might complain about nosy Aunt Lucia prying in your dating life, you never want to leave once you get there. Being able to spend time with the people you love the most is really the best gift in the world—a gift that not many people have. So all you can do is say bye and look forward to the next time you see them again.

We know that you’re dreading those awkward moments and dreaded questions from your family over Christmas. But don’t worry, because you can do it up decently this year. You can now tell your nosy Aunt Lucia that you joined the best matchmaking service in New Jersey, New Jersey Singles. You can head out to your family gatherings with a little pep in your step this holiday knowing that you’re giving yourself the gift of love this year.

If you’re single and ready to find love this holiday season, contact our New Jersey Singles matchmakers today. Call 1 (888) 417-0020 to book your 100% FREE, in-depth matchmaking consultation today.

New Jersey Singles Reviews the Best Way to Handle Rejection

Posted on November 12, 2017 by Nicole

Rejection, especially dating rejection, is a tricky thing to talk about because everyone deals with it in a different way. It’s really hard to accept that someone doesn’t want to date you. It definitely stinks and makes you feel inadequate. Knowing how to deal with dating rejection can save you from doing something you’ll otherwise regret.

People deal with rejection every day of their lives. If you let it get the best of you, it can quickly transform into a bad thing.

If you’re faced with rejection, which everyone faces at one point in their dating life, you’ll need to handle it with grace, and that’s what our matchmaking and dating experts are here to teach you how to do. So get ready as New Jersey Singles reviews the best way to handle rejection and get on with your dating life with your dignity intact.

1. Take a Deep Breath

Just relax. Getting rejected is nothing new, and it’s probably not the first time it’s happened to you. Yes, you’re hurt. Yes, you’re feeling down. But don’t let it get the best of you. Take a deep breath and give it a minute before you respond. After you’ve gathered yourself, focus on a constructive answer. Think long and hard about what you’re going to say before you say it to them. This will help you avoid lashing out with any angry responses that escalate the situation and cause you regret later.

2. Be Honest with Yourself

Do they have a good reason why they’re rejecting you? Do they have a point with their rejection? If so, then be honest with yourself. On the other hand, maybe it’s not that they don’t like you but rather that they’re busy with their life and can’t start a relationship right now. It’s really hard to take a step back and admit that someone is turning you down, but it’s something you need to do if you want to deal with the rejection and move on with your life in a healthy way.

3. Remind Yourself of Your Worth

Being rejected by someone will definitely bring up your insecurities, especially if you failed to get closure. One way to make sure you don’t let this happen to you is by remembering your worth. Think back to all of your accomplishments and everything you’ve done in your life, remember the great things others have told you, and don’t let one little rejection destroy your confidence. Knowing your worth will remind you that you’re a great person and someone will be very lucky to have you as a partner.

4. Try to Stay Busy

Stewing over rejection is one of the worst things you can do. You need to do something to stay busy and keep your mind off this discouraging situation. Hang out with friends, work out, or spend more time at work. It’s never healthy or wise to dwell on rejection and let it eat you up. Will it take you a little to get over? Yes, but you will get over it. Keep your eyes on the future and your head high.

5. Talk to Friends

Chances are your friends have been rejected by someone before, so they’ll be able to give you advice on how to get back out there again. Friends can help you get through tough times in life, especially in dating. Sometimes all we need is advice from friends to deal with things like this.

6. Figure Out What You Did Wrong

One thing that can make rejection feel harder is to deal with it time and time again. If you can’t seem to land a partner no matter how hard you try, maybe you’re doing something wrong. You need to take a long look in the mirror and figure out what’s causing people to reject you. If there’s one thing that seems to be the problem, fix it right away so you never get rejected for that reason again.

You’re going to have to deal with rejection at one point of your dating journey. But knowing how to handle it will ease the pain and make it easier to move on with your self-esteem intact.

If you’re single and tired of being rejected in the NJ dating scene, contact our New Jersey matchmakers and let us introduce you to relationship-minded singles who are compatible with you. We’ll get to know you personally assess your wants and needs in a partner so we can introduce you to singles who are compatible with you—no more dating worries for you.

New Jersey Singles Reviews Tips for Hosting Thanksgiving As a Couple

Posted on November 2, 2017 by Nicole

Hosting your first Thanksgiving together is a huge deal. You want to get it right and impress your extended family, but you also don’t want to spend hours upon hours in the kitchen. After all, you do want to enjoy the company of your guests.

Our matchmakers here at New Jersey Singles have some expert tips on how to host your first Thanksgiving together. And always remember that glitches will come up whether you like it or not. Whether you burn the buns or the turkey comes out a little dry, remember that your friends and family are there with you to enjoy this wonderful day.

It’s in the Details

Who should you invite? You should always limit the invitations to close friends and family members, especially if you don’t have a lot of space. If you have more space, then go ahead and invite a few more—although that will mean more work on your end to prepare the Thanksgiving meal.

If this is your first time making a Thanksgiving dinner, you might want to keep it small. Invite close friends and family members and ask each of them to bring a dish (be sure to specify what dish everyone should bring). The last thing you want is everyone showing up with dessert. It is absolutely acceptable to ask guests to bring a dish, so don’t feel bad about this one. Everyone will be more than happy to pitch in and lighten your work load; after all, you’re offering your time and space to host a fabulous dinner.

Get the Right Wine

Wine is a Thanksgiving essential that you need to have available. Thanksgiving foods are rich and heavy, so keep that in mind when you choose your wine. Our advice is to keep some Old World white wines ready to go. White wines go well with Thanksgiving meals. If you prefer red, then opt for Pinot Noir or a Gamay because these also pair well with Thanksgiving dishes.

Never Turn Down Help

Thanksgiving is often a potluck affair, and that’s the best thing about it. Let friends and your partner help you out, and don’t be afraid of delegating the parts that stress you out. Delegate, delegate, delegate. Just because you’re hosting doesn’t mean you have to do everything yourself. The best way to survive your Thanksgiving party is by dividing and conquering. Whether it’s your partner, family members, or friends, don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for help where you need it.

Prepare Ahead of Time

The most stressful part about hosting Thanksgiving is the last-minute rush. If you want to make it less stressful, you want to prepare as much as you can ahead of time. You and your partner can prepare a few things the day before, such as casseroles and pies, which are perfect to reheat the day of Thanksgiving. Cranberry sauce can also be made in advance. And don’t forget to pick up all the essentials ahead of time, especially those Thanksgiving wines we just talked about.

Laugh the Disasters Off

Everyone makes mistakes, especially on a frantic day like Thanksgiving when there is so much rushing around. Instead of letting it get to you, laugh it off. Remember that you’re in the company of your friends and family who love you no matter what. Whatever happens, take it in stride, and remember that in a few years you’ll look back at your first Thanksgiving dinner and laugh at all the memories you and your partner made that day.

Good luck hosting your first Thanksgiving as a couple. We wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones – sincerely, the matchmakers at New Jersey Singles Dating Service.

The holidays are chaotic and leave little time for dating. If you’re single and wishing for a special someone to spend the festive season with, let our matchmakers take over the dating burdens for you. If you’re single and ready to meet that special someone, contact our expert matchmakers and let us help you find them. Call 1 (888) 417-0020 to book your FREE matchmaking consultation today!

Much like a first date or a job interview, a lot of people agonize over what to wear when they’re going to meet their partner’s parents for the first time. It makes sense because your outfit has a lot to do with how they’ll perceive you. With that being said, you need to look your best. Wear something that makes you look good and feel confident at the same time. Remember to choose something on the conservative side.

2. Bring a Small Gift with You

For this one, you definitely want to talk to your partner. It can be something as simple as a bottle of wine or seasonal flowers. But your partner will be able to guide you in the right direction. Maybe their mom only drinks red wine, or maybe dad is allergic to nuts and would love a box of chocolates instead. Or perhaps your partner tells you their mom and dad collect holiday ornaments, so what better than this thoughtful gift idea? Whatever the case might be, never show up emptyhanded.

3. Compliment Them Genuinely

Everyone loves to hear that their home is beautiful and that their food tastes delicious, and compliments will definitely be appreciated by their parents. Say nice things, but don’t just say them because you’re supposed to. You must give genuine compliments that you truly mean.

4. Talk Up Your Partner

Along the same lines of giving their family a compliment, you also want to talk up your partner a little bit in front of them. First of all, it shows you care about your partner and that you’re proud to date them. It also shows that you have a great relationship. And the best bonus? Well, it’s like giving their parents another compliment, but a much greater and deeper compliment. After all, it shows that they raised a great son or daughter.

5. Offer to Prep & Clean Up

This is something you do when you visit your own parents, but you can also do it with theirs. Offer to prep and clean up. A simple “Is there anything I can do to help out?” will go a long way, believe us. Also, don’t just jump in and start doing the dishes if mom didn’t first authorize it. You never know, she might have heirloom dishes that require special care, and the last thing you would want to do is break one of her prize possessions.

6. Say Thank You

Again, you probably already know this one but it’s worth repeating. A simple thank you can make a great impression on their parents. If they gave you a gift, be sure to say thank you and follow up with a thank you note later. As you’re walking out of the house, be sure to thank them for having you over. Those two magic words can go a long way in showing you’re polite, considerate, and grateful.

See, we told you that impressing their parents over the holidays wouldn’t be that hard. You don’t have to stress it because we know you’ll do just fine and make a great impression on them and solidify your relationship.

New Jersey Singles Reviews Why You Won’t Find Love at the Bar

Posted on October 17, 2017 by Nicole

While movies and TV shows will have you believing otherwise, you’re never going to find love at the local bars and clubs. You probably already know you shouldn’t be searching for love at the bars and clubs, but many people do this every weekend. Many singles in New Jersey head out the clubs every weekend hoping to catch feelings for a random stranger. Instead, they wake up with a raging hangover the next morning.

Sure, there are plenty of attractive singles at the bars and clubs, but how many of them are looking for a serious relationship? Not many.

Don’t get us wrong, the bars and clubs are fun for dancing and having a few drinks with friends. But no one ever thinks to themselves “Yep, the man/woman of my dreams is somewhere around here.” It just doesn’t happen.

Today, New Jersey Singles reviews why you’ll never find love at the local bars and clubs.

1. The bars/clubs scene doesn’t nurture good relationships.

Have you ever tried having a conversation at the local bar or club on a busy Saturday night? It’s nearly impossible. Words are mumbled and hard to hear, and instead of figuring out whether someone is worth talking to, you’re simply trying to hear what they’re saying. Only if bars and clubs had subtitles, right?

2. Alcohol makes people look better.

You know exactly what we’re talking about here. Get a few tequila shots in you and you start to think everyone at the bar looks like a model. Alcohol makes everything seem better: life situations, outlooks, and the people you see at the bar. You can’t have a relationship when you’re both intoxicated from those tequila shots. It just won’t work. If you want to meet quality singles, then try a coffee shop instead. The people you talk to at a coffee shop will be alive and alert instead of sloppy and slurring their words like at the bar.

3. Singles have one thing on their mind.

We hate to sound like your mother here, but at the end of the day there’s only one thing singles at the bars/clubs are really interested in. No, it’s not a relationship. They want to take you home at the end of the night. Men especially go to the clubs to find good looking women who are drunk so they can take them home. If he was looking for his future wife, he wouldn’t be at the bar, believe us.

4. Most of the people at bars/clubs are creeps.

Even if somehow you’re at the bar/club sober, looking great, and able to talk over the loud music, there’s always that one creepy person. Yes, that creepy guy everyone knows about—the guy who approaches every woman at the club. While we’re sure there are plenty of nice guys at bars/clubs, the creeps are the ones lurking about and harassing every woman in the club. These guys ruin the whole night.

5. You have nothing in common.

Much like people you meet in college and quickly discover that the only thing you bond over is alcohol, the same thing happens at the local bars/clubs. Even if you do manage to find something in common, it’s hard to keep the conversation going over the loud music in the background. While clubs do manage to bring a lot of people together, it’s merely to have fun, not to start a relationship.

If you’re looking for love in New Jersey, stop wasting your time at the bars/clubs. You have a much better option at your disposal. You can outsource your romantic life to our professional matchmakers and let us do the hard part of scouting for you. This is not saying that no one has never met their love at the bar, but the chances are stacked against you.
