Blog: Trying to Meet Women at the Bar? Good luck.

By | Dating Tips | No Comments

blog-meetwomenFinding the woman of your dreams is no easy task, but trying to make it happen in a bar that smells like desperation and old beer is basically impossible. It might seem like the only places to meet someone of the opposite sex are at the club or in the gym, but if you really think about it, they’re actually some of the worst!

Bars are often really loud which means a good conversation isn’t that likely, and they’re super crowded with a bunch of dudes all after the same women. It’s also pretty safe to assume that your usual game won’t work here, as most ladies don’t imagine Prince Charming as the guy buying them tequila shots. A cheap vodka soda doesn’t count either, sorry. Read More

Blog: Is Chivalry Really Dead?

By | Dating Tips, Trends | No Comments

blog-chivalryWe’ve all heard the saying, but how dead is chivalry? Here are a few realistic acts of chivalry that should definitely be manageable for your man:

1. Opening the Door

I’m not saying he needs to run ahead of you every time, although it would be extra nice if he did, but just taking an extra step forward to grab the door every once in a while isn’t going to kill him. Read More

By | Dating Tips | No Comments

Blog: Telling Someone You Don’t Want to Date Them: 101

By | Dating Tips | No Comments

How to Tell Someone You're Not InterestedAh, the dreaded unrequited love. While it seriously sucks to like someone and not have him or her the return the feeling, it’s almost worse to be the person who doesn’t return the “like”. It can be awkward, confusing and even make you feel guilty – especially if that person is nice, fun and would have otherwise made a great friend.

Do you really know how to tell someone you don’t want to date them without breaking their heart? It’s really not as difficult as you might think. AND the person you’re telling would much rather hear the truth now than be led on only to find out their affections aren’t returned a ways down the road.

So, listen up ladies and gentlemen! This is how you go about telling someone you don’t want to date them. Read More

Blog: Dating in the Modern World

By | Dating Tips, Relationship Advice | No Comments

Dating in 2014In today’s technology-ridden environment, it is almost impossible to avoid interacting with some form of online medium. Social media is quickly becoming more than a pastime-but an entirely new form of communication. Take hashtags for example- entire contexts can be created simply by adding the # symbol to the end of post online.

So what does all of this mean for dating? It is safe to say that gone are the ages of knocking on a girl/guy’s door and praying their parents aren’t the one to answer. Now, you can simply Facebook them, Tweet them, Instagram them, Snapchat them, Vine….well, you get the picture. Yet with all of these new methods of direct communication, are we really getting closer- or farther away?

Blog: What To Do When You’re Single on Valentine’s Day

By | Dating Tips | No Comments

Single on Valentines DayI know, I know- it feels like the end of the world. February 14th is right around the corner and horror of all horrors- you are single. Every store you walk into is covered in little heart candies and every shape and size heart imaginable. We understand how it could make you feel like grabbing a few dozen bags of those little heart-wrapped chocolates and drowning your solo sorrows on the couch all weekend long- but before you do, try this on for size instead.

Put yourself out there. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to send you into the arms of some sloppy bar suitor- but getting yourself out into the world instead of sitting on the couch will make you feel ten times better, I promise. Now first off, let’s set the perimeters of where not to go: high-end restaurants, popular weekend getaway resorts, or the latest chick flick at the movie theater. These are all going to be couple-central this weekend and therefore not where you want to be.

Blog: Would you Consider this Girl to Be a Gold Digger?

By | Dating Tips | No Comments

Gold DiggerOne of my favorite things about Quest is that the girls are real. And what I mean by real is that they are genuine, honest girls who want to have some fun. The girls I’ve met through online dating are so much more fake than the girls I meet on Quest. I was reading about this recently and I’m so happy I’ve never fallen for something like this:

Basically this girl is just using guys to get free meals at expensive restaurants. I don’t know about you, but to me this sounds like a SCAM!

This one might sound corny, but trust us – you’ll both love it. What’s more romantic than cruising around your own town as tourists on adorable bicycles? Okay, so we’re not totally sure that the bicycles themselves will be adorable… but you will be! Take time to really enjoy where you live and discover new places together.

Bowling brings back childhood memories faster than just about anything else for the Quest team, and chances are your date will love it too! Go for a double date to up the competition or just go the two of you for some one-on-one fun. A little competitiveness is actually healthy in relationships and will help you get to know each other a lot better than a standard dinner date with canned questions and responses will.

Blog: What Girls are Really Thinking When They Say “I’m Fine”

By | Dating Tips, Relationship Advice | No Comments

What I'm Fine MeansYou’ve heard it before. Your girl’s acting a little moody and you’ve asked the age-old question, “What’s wrong sweetie?” Your lady retorts with the worst-ever response, “I’m fine”. What’s a guy to do? How are you supposed to be able to fix the situation if she won’t just come out and tell you what’s wrong?! Well, this is what girls are really thinking when they say they’re fine. Hopefully it helps give you a little relationship guidance.

1. She really could be fine

Sometimes, a girl’s just feeling fine. Maybe her day wasn’t all that eventful. Maybe she’s just relaxing and enjoying some drama-free time. Or, maybe she just honestly feels fine. Unless she says it with a pout or angry face, we wouldn’t recommend pressing her too much. You  might end up making her angry or annoyed with you when she’s honestly just having an OK day.
