Month: May 2019

First Dates, well, they are exciting. At the same time, they are nerve-racking.

You are clueless about what to expect. Will you continue sharing the chemistry that you share on messages? Will she find you attractive? What if the greetings are only followed by awkward silence? And when it finally happens, you have so many thoughts running through your mind, making you nervous. Before you even open your mouth, there is mounting pressure to impress her.

A lot to wonder, very little idea of how to get over with it. Look no further, we have got you covered!

This time, dating experts at team Eureka have highlighted the basic do’s and don’t for you to know.

So, without more to do, here we go.

Beginning with what to do?

1. Be on time

The first impression is the last impression. Make sure you don’t ruin it by making them wait for too long, especially if you are new to each other. Be there at the time you decided. If you have a real reason for being late, inform your date as soon as possible.

2. Dress up well

Almost every time, ladies put in a lot of effort to look their best on the date, and be aware, gentlemen, she expects the same from you. So, this is specifically for you to keep in mind. Take time for some grooming to look clean and fresh. Demonstrate your interest. You can probably ask what she likes and dress accordingly.

3. Choose place wisely

Go for public places both of you are well aware of. If either of you is not committed to a single location, opt for the one where both of you feel comfortable. Unusual places that are far away from the town are a big NO-NO. Flexibility is the key here, if things go South, you have got an easy exit. If not, it’s easy to transition for an evening stroll through downtown.

4. Be in the right state of mind

Calm down! Be friendly, kind and approachable. Remember, you are here to have a good time.

If you are having a bad day or feeling gloomy, consider rescheduling. Clearly, it is not sexy to stare off into space, lose conversation, or spend entire FIRST DATE with teary eyes.

5. Honesty is the best policy, here too

Be honest and authentic. Dates are not supposed to be business meets or job interviews. While there are specific topics you should avoid, it is okay to let your best self shine. Focus on having a great time as you would have with a close friend.

6. Put your phones away

We live in a connected world that keeps us oversaturated with opportunities to get connected to everything and everyone. However, one must suppress this urge to Instagram, text, or reach out to the network during a date. That only leads to uncomfortable silence shouting out your disinterest.

If you MUST take an urgent call or text, excuse yourself.

7. It’s okay to break the touch barrier

The first physical contact can be awkward to maneuver. If you’re feeling the sense of connection, make the first move and break the barrier yourself.

What not to do during your first date?

1. Self-bragging

Arguably, your life is amazing. But it’s the time to maintain a balance by letting your partner express as well. Show interest in knowing them and find a way to connect your life to them.

On that note, do you know showing interest to another person and their life is a great seduction feature?

2. Unrealistic expectations

Set out your hope high for the date too soon. Whether it is an eternal love you are looking for or just a hook-up, don’t jump to the subject immediately. Know what your date is looking for and don’t make false promises.

3. Talking about mistakes of the past

Don’t talk about previous dating experiences, neither yours nor of your date. Avoid bringing the past relationships to your date, good or bad. There’s nothing that proves as detrimental as this to a budding romance.

4. Get hammered

Want to look like a cool person, booze-hound and a nervous wreck? Great, gram another cocktail. But then, set yourself up for another date. First dates are not to go shot-for-shot. It’s about being sober enough to know each other.

5. Talking of bedroom

Avoid being too suggestive about sex. The first date is not the time for references to the bedroom unless you want to look like sex is the primary thing you are interested in.

May you have an amazing first date!!!

A stellar first impression is not the same as love at first sight. But surely it is an invitation to consider the matter.

Start with taking a deep breath. You don’t have to memorize each of these tips or write them somewhere to read often. The most important thing is to be as relaxed and easygoing as possible. Once you are calm, the do’s and don’ts follow effortlessly.Alternatively, you can also play it safe, finding as soulmate someone you probably know. Wondering how? Well, simply download Eureka for iOS or Android, and get started.

Remember your first email ID?

How weird they were, we realized only when we grew up. Truly embarrassing! And trust us, some of them are still trolled mercilessly on the internet.

While that was the pain of the past, someone of us can still relate to it somehow as we leap into the world of online dating.

But “Eureka,” you have already found us!!!

So we have a breather for you, we are today helping you out with some excellent tips and tricks to overcome embarrassment when dating online.

1. Let your real self take the charge

Fine. You show yourself for the first time in front of your potential partner. We all know “First impression is the last impression”. Don’t go on faking a personality just because you feel they won’t like the real one. You can’t tell it anyway.

Moreover, once your relationship grows, you have more chances of self-consciousness. Can you fake it for long?

Imagine letting them know you are a fun-loving extrovert while you are a book-loving introvert. Opposite to the real side of you, all you are going to do is ruin your dating life. Be yourself and be amazing! The right one should love you the way you are.

You can probably try some intuitive apps like Eureka that only get you connected to the ones who you already know. Increase your chances, for once and for all.

2. Find out the dating website/app that works for you

You may be a single looking to mingle, but that doesn’t justify choosing anyone who you cross path with. You know what type of partner you would like to date, so all you now have to do is to find a dating app that just works well for you. Trying out some leading ones is a great option.

On that note, how about transforming your crush into soulmate? Intriguing, right? And guess what we have is the easiest way to do it. Download Eureka App from App Store or Google Play, register yourself, and tap the Love Symbol next to your friend. Easy, isn’t it? And wait, maybe your love is among your friends!

3. Don’t get carried away by so-called trends

Love is blind. It doesn’t matter how you look like and there are no metrics for this case.

But-but-but, we do picture our ideal life partners. Appearance, intellect, job, so many factors to consider. And the best part of having this idea in today’s world is technology that allows us to find the ideal partner right when we need it. We only have to find that perfect arena.

Don’t go with what trends say. Find out what works for you! Analyze which place might have the partner you need. Once you are through it, simply put your best foot forward, and you are all sorted.

If you find that ideal partner in one of your friends, you can also use Eureka and augment your chances of hitting the sweet spot.

4. Understand that it’s okay to express

Yes, it’s chilling. It makes you nervous. You go speechless in front of him or her. But nothing can reason your silence. Express before it’s too late.

To help you out here is a solution. Simply launch Eureka on your smartphone, let us invite them for you, and Tap to express yourself.

Signing off

Online dating is true fun and opens doorways for you to find the soulmate that you would not probably bump into. But that’s not exactly the secret to unlock the world of romance. Take down a notch and use as a tool for what it is: a way to meet cool people, to try new bars and restaurants with. Slow steps can help you establish a comfort level with your partner and therefore put embarrassment away.

And last but not least, don’t forget to download Eureka from App Store or Google Play. After all, to make the dating game a bit easier for you is something we love.

Red flags!!!

You may be too much into your crush, but they may not really be. Imagine wasting a few more months of your life only to know “They too were not the one”.

Feels like Deja vu?

Well, we are here to save you as we list down four signs that you need to keep an eye on. 

Here we go!!!

1. They Don’t Seem to Get Over With Their Ex

Ex – “Peculiar creatures who simply don’t understand the meaning of moving on”. And it gets worse when your date too doesn’t want to get over with it. Rather than talking about the relationship they are in, they keep bringing their ex to each conversation, discussing everything about them. 

Imagine the situation: you are furious and sitting there while listening to your date telling you how their first date with the ex was like.

Jokes apart, while lending your shoulder seems to be a good choice initially, it gets frustrating in the long run. This is more painful when it’s because your partner is crying for their ex. 

Clearly, your date is not in the right state of mind to date you. Make sure they don’t rush into this relationship for the sake of it. In adverse conditions, it’s better to let your self-respect take over the newly found love.

2. They Don’t Seem to be Available

Serious dates begin with lovey-dovey mood, round the clock messages, too many plans, and open weekends. While that seems phenomenal only in the beginning, that’s enough for you to understand how interested are they in you. It’s okay to be busy at times, but if they are constantly M.I.A., take it as a sign that they are not just on the same page as you. 

It may also be a case that they have different priorities than yours. Probably it’s work, hobby, or pet, etc. However, if they are willing to take the relationship further, they will be able to give dating the time and attention it requires. 

3. They Think About You Only at Night

Midnight texting is fun, but only when it’s the right time and mood. In case, they are more available at night or only realize your existence at that particular moment, you really really need to look for those red flags. 

You can look for early signs when they only text you to “come over” often. Identify these signs as quickly as possible to meet the quality partner. If it is the case, you are probably wasting your time. 

4. They Keep Bailing at the Last Moment

It’s okay to overlook flakiness, or explain it away as someone being too busy. And that can be a case as well. However, if that keeps happening, you can be sure that the person isn’t taking the relationship too seriously. 

If they don’t give space to you in their priority list, it simply means they are leaving options in case something [else] comes along. And who would like to deal with a situation like that?

Red flags? Not anymore!!!

Even though you can look for these four signs, you need to be careful enough. They may be seriously busy sometimes and so can you. They can be calling you at night and yet be very serious. Make sure you don’t jump to conclusions too fast, otherwise you might end up being the culprit to kill an outstanding relationship. 

Can you think of something similar in your current date? Let us know in the comment section or drop us an email. We would love to hear from you!

It’s time to celebrate!!! 

Your crush finally accepted your marriage proposal and we are as glad as you are!

But before you finally decide what you are going to do on your big day, we have something here for you – top tips to make sure your relationship is brimming with happiness today and forever. 

Let’s get going!!!

1. Strive for Relationship Balance

It’s great to do the best for your partner. However, if you put your partner’s needs before yours too often, you desperately need to figure out a balance point. Meeting your needs and maintaining your individuality is equally important. Strive to give each other some mutual respect – be kind and supportive and celebrate each other’s independent accomplishments as well. 

2. Deal With Conflicts Head-On, then Move On

Conflicts are unavoidable in a relationship. They build up over time, creating deep, dividing resentment which is tough to overcome. The key to win is in how well you can manage them. 

Avoid:

• Silent treatment
• Untimely attacks
• Holding grudges
• The “YOU” statements that exhibit blames, accusations, and assumptions, as they make partners feel defensive and resentful.

Choose:

• Calm and focused discussions
• Time-outs to diffuse heated discussions and refocus on the issue
• The “I” statements that avoid blame and make us responsible for what’s going on in our mind.
• Resolution backed by “Agree” and “move on”

3. Restrict Fixing and Controlling Only to the To-Do List and TV Remotes

If you bring someone to your life, understand that you need to embrace their flaws too. Just like each one of us, they need room to grow as well. Accept each other and grow together instead of trying to change or control each other. Support each other’s individuality and help each other to achieve individual goals. 

4. Be Responsible for Your Own Happiness

Happiness is really something that comes from inside. Your happiness is not just your partner’s responsibility. Don’t overburden your partner with lots of expectations. Do something for yourself. That way you will be able to maintain a balance.

5. Respect Each Other’s Personal Space

Love is great and spending time with each other feels like bliss, but that’s only until you give each other the space you need. You may want to go shopping, but he would want to just chill at home watching his favorite movie. Do as your heart tells you and let your partner do the same. While you both have individual choices, respect each other’s idea of enjoyment. Everyone has the right to live their way and so do you and your partner. 

6. Share and Communicate

Trust is an important part of every relationship. Not only you have to trust your partner for integrity, but also trust them with your feelings. Additionally, be open to the same arrangements. Sharing your emotions with the partner helps you burn the stress and feel stronger. 

Show each other your care and support by opening up emotionally. Also be there to hear them out without judgment. 

7. Agree to Disagree

Every couple will agree at some points and disagree as well. Rather than trying to argue and find out the right and the wrong one, why not simply agree to disagree? Respect each other’s uniqueness and opinions. Preferences differ and it’s completely alright.

Happy Relationship!

Love life is terrifying. However, that’s just the beginning. Make sure you incorporate these easy tips to your life and make it easier for you and your partner too. On that note, don’t forget to drop-in and let us know what’s your idea of a healthy relationship. We may get your tips and tricks shared to others looking for some advice. 

“So, how did your love story begin?”

“Depressed by the fact that I was not able to find someone, I prayed God to help me find the one meant for me. The magic happened and She was there…”

Sounds nice, no? 

But-but-but, only if it were that easy. Real life is different, and finding the perfect match for yourself is not easy. 

Not anymore, after all the online world is here for you. If you can find hairpins online, what deal is this so-called soulmate? 

Jokes apart, let’s walk through the steps that can fill the gap between you and your “THE better half”.

What’s Different Here at Eureka?

Well, the difference lies in our unique concept. While the internet is full of potential matches, you really have no idea how they’ll turn out. Who will trust a complete stranger in today’s world? 

So we thought you might want to open up to your crush. Yeah, no kidding here. 

Feelings are important to us, as well. And we aren’t telling you to go down to your knees in front of the Eiffel Tower. It’s very simple.

Did You Think it Was That Easy?

See, you couldn’t even guess it. But here we are redefining the way you find the love of your life. Quickly get yourself the amazing app and get started. Happy Dating!!!

Along with that, we are always looking for love stories around, don’t forget to share yours with us.

Being an introvert in the hookup culture is a special kind of hell, and the pain is even more if you have a huge crush on an office colleague, a classmate, or one of your close friends. No one has guts to open up too quickly but then, they can seek help from others or make the best of a pep talk opportunity, but being an introvert you don’t even have this help by your side. 

But online dating can wonderfully help you and we, at Eureka, are here to guide you. Here, we are having a small discussion on how to find the love of your life if you are an introvert. Simple tips and tricks, but worthy enough to get your love life started, the online dating way.

1. Set Up Your Profile Honestly

Being an introvert is not a crime. Don’t be shy of exhibiting your true self. That said, you can do it in style though. “I’m a terrible party animal, but love philosophical conversation” is a better way to express that you relish dates in the comfort zone of a cafe rather than partying around. Let the person know you better before they make up their mind.

In case you’ve already found this special someone who understands you, what are you waiting for? Open up and express. With Eureka, it’s easier than ever. Just download Eureka Love App and get started. 

2. Be Yourself

Once you’ve found a match on a dating platform, it is quite obvious to initiate a conversation and take it ahead. However, don’t go far demonstrating yourself as an extrovert. No matter how far you go with a fake personality, you can never stop from getting into a bad date. Let them absorb your true self and get attracted to it.

3. Pick the Right Kind of a Date

Find out what type of partner you are comfortable with. If you glow around an extrovert, don’t go tapping Like button for opposite person, and vice-versa. Make sure you go through the profile of potential matches and make an informed decision. 

4. The Right Place Will Help You Make the Right Date

Stuck for date ideas? Finding the right date idea is essential for you to find a long-lasting relationship. If you feel more comfortable having a deep conversation on a restaurant table as compared to a club, don’t opt for the second option for any reason. Go for the date location that lets you and your partner open up and express better.

5. Everyone is nervous about the first date (and that’s okay)

Let that sink in!

No matter how comfortable you are with each other on phone calls, first dates are always a nervous experience. Don’t let that take away your peace of mind. And accept that a perfect happily-ever-after love story is not possible in a single date. Take your time and be patient with your partner. As you spend more time together and get comfortable around each other, things will get better. 

Create Your Profile on Eureka Today!

While the above-mentioned tips truly come handy if you are an introvert and searching for a perfect partner, you can also find one happily-ever-after love story around you. Maybe with a friend, your best of the best buddies, someone you share your office table with or maybe the someone who increases your heartbeat as soon as he/she enters the classroom. To help you overcome your introvertness and express to someone, we have a handy solution: Eureka Love App! Download the app on your smartphone, and tap the Love icon to express your affection. The best part is they won’t know unless the feeling is mutual, so at least your friendship is safe!
