Among the potential requirements for a top and legal “date” is the possible need for a legal agreement, such as that shown in part below, which outlines a Valentines Day contract from an outfit called Docracy.
Dating site EliteSingles announced in a press release that kiwi men are in fact more romantic than many might imagine, with their survey of 500 New Zealanders showing the nearly half of all kiwi men would say “I love you” after just a month of dating.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, a new survey of 500 New Zealanders has revealed that the Kiwi attitudes towards love and romance are more sentimental than you might think, compared to one third of women.
We’re not quite sure whether that makes men the more romantic, or simply seeking to say the things women most want to hear for any benefits that might deliver.
The jury is out, as they say. From EliteSingles
This willingness to embrace all things love extends to Valentine’s Day, with 97% of men and 99% of women admitting that their ideal February 14th would involve romantic plans. The majority of both men (42%) and women (47%) see themselves celebrating in a restaurant, but men are also keen to create a romantic evening at home: 37% want to stay in and throw a more intimate celebration, complete with wine, candles and DVDs.
And personal matchmaking site Matchcompany, which handles private one-to-one dating help for those seeking long term relationships, says that so far as lawyers dating tips are concerned some key rules should be observed, including the following 4 tips:
>>The stress and time-consumption that the law requires will frequently create an atmosphere for the lawyer that will lead to a pressured time-frame for Valentines Day. However, the upside is that most lawyers are people who pay attention to detail and therein lies the dilemma – time-poor, but attention to detail. The result can be bad or beautiful. The key is to ensure there is some input from the non-lawyer to ensure the latter prevails.
>>Avoid the need to win every argument. Lawyers have a natural propensity towards needing to win at all costs. The lawyer-partner should pick your battles when it comes to relationships and be prepared to concede. There is always the opportunity to remedy a situation later and a “settlement” can result in a heightened sense of romance.
>>For those dating a lawyer, show some interest in their work. Lawyers love to explain the law and if you have something on your mind and don’t want to kill the joy they have in doing so, then ask a little. But only a little. Once you’ve displayed the necessary interest you can move on – fully sated on both sides.
>>For the dual-lawyer combo, which is frequently the case because the temple-thumping stress and time spent in the office leads to inevitable lawyer partnerships in the private life and requires careful management to create a romantic environment. Lawyers tend to be cynical and fact-based individuals who will often shun the contrived “romance” of Valentines Day. Make sure you put such feelings aside and go with the flow, say Matchcompany.
