NINE TIPS FOR GETTING BACK INTO THE DATING GAME

#1.) PACE YOURSELF. Rushing into something new before you're ready will just lead to repeating past mistakes. You need to take a little bit of time to process what went wrong with your last relationship.
--But if you're just looking to hook up, with limited emotional expectations, it's okay to move a little faster. Not diving in too deep at first can even be helpful to the healing process.

#2.) KNOW YOUR MOTIVES. Some people are so insecure about their own worth that they grab the first opportunity that comes along.
--If you're genuinely into someone, you should pursue it, even if it's your first post-breakup relationship. But if you're in it simply for security or sympathy, it WILL lead to disaster.

#3.) DON'T BRING YOUR PAST OUT WITH YOU. The last thing a potential NEW partner wants to hear about is your OLD one. If you dwell on your past relationship, it's going to be a complete turnoff.

#4.) DON'T REPEAT YOUR MISTAKES. A lot of people look for new partners who have similarities to their old flames. That's okay if you're attracted to specific qualities . . . just make sure they're the good ones.

#5.) PLAY IN YOUR COMFORT ZONE. If you want to maximize your potential for a match, put yourself in situations where you'll find people with similar interests as you.
--Join organizations and activities for things you're interested in, like a golf club or volunteer for charities or political campaigns. It's an instant conversation starter and is a great place to find people with your same interests.

#6.) GO ONLINE. The Internet has made finding, meeting and getting to know people easier than ever . . . and it's taken away a lot of the stress associated with the bar and club scene. Join an online dating site or two and see if anything develops.

#7.) TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF. If you just go out there . . . carefree and genuinely looking to meet people without expecting a particular result . . . you'll enjoy yourself a lot more than setting a deadline to meet the man or woman of your dreams.

#8.) TOUGHEN UP. Don't expect all your new connections to last forever. Make sure you're ready to be rejected . . . or ready to reject someone else.
--Sometimes you learn more valuable lessons about yourself from the non-matches. You'll gain something from every experience . . . whether it works out or not.

#9.) ENJOY YOURSELF. Getting back into the dating scene should be fun, not frightening. Look at it as an experience and not a task. Don't give yourself a time limit to find someone new . . . and enjoy the search while it lasts. (Happen Magazine)

IS MICHAEL JACKSON STILL ALIVE???

Okay, people, it's on: The best "MICHAEL JACKSON IS STILL ALIVE" conspiracy theory . . . (--so far) . . . has begun.
--You can already tell it's a hoax, but nobody can deny these things are fun . . . and, as ELVIS has proven time and time again, they just never get old. (???)
--A video has appeared online of a coroner's van pulling into what looks like an underground garage.
--When it stops, someone gets out, goes to the back of the van and opens one of the doors.
--Then someone whose identity is obviously being shielded gets out of the back of the van . . . and the other person takes them through a door and out of sight.
--The claim being made is that the person getting out of the back of the van is Michael . . . and that this video was shot right after he ALLEGEDLY died and his body was removed from his rented home.
--In other words, he FAKED HIS DEATH.
--The person who posted the clip says, quote, "I checked the license plate number and it looks like the King of Pop is jumping out of the same van his dead body has been in.
--"I got the original video tape from a trustworthy source. I know him for years. And I am sure it's real and Michael is alive."

(--You'd have to be a complete IDIOT to buy this. But the video is still fun to watch in a Bigfoot-ish, Loch Ness Monster-y sort of way. And let's be honest: If this WERE true, it would probably be the MOST AWESOME NEWS STORY EVER.)
