Game. Set. Match.
Whatever happened to getting a date via a friend, co-worker, or even a family member? Is it too much to ask that our romantic lives not include the word cyber or space?!
Why not try your hand at matchmaking? It's good for your friends and your dating karma. Just make sure to pay attention to the duo's love compatibility. They’ll thank you at their wedding!
Make love, not war.
If you know the guy’s not interested in the scholastic type, don’t pair him up with your friend who went to Harvard. Just because two people are single, doesn’t mean they want to mingle. Care enough not to put them through a night of awkward silences.
Great sex-pectations.
Don’t get their hopes up. Never use phrases like “the one,” “perfect match,” or “instant connection” in describing the date. Even if you think you’re a matchmaking smarty-pants, it’s important not to inflate expectations. That way, if things don’t work out, your matches don’t feel like they missed out on love.
Set the scene.
You did the date making, so you do the date planning. If you know they both like to laugh, have them meet at a comedy club. This is a good way for the two to get better acquainted without feeling immediate pressure to get along.

Kelly Osbourne is engaged to the Clockwork Orange guy.
Well, it’s official! Love is in the air for Kelly Osbourne and her 18-year-old boyfriend, Luke Worrall. The young stud broke the news by changing his Facebook relationship status to “engaged”. How high school of him.
23-year-old Kelly and baby Luke have been dating for six whole months. And now they’ll spend the next three months together in perfect matrimony. But who are we to be all doom and gloom? That’s papa Ozzy’s job.
Alas, life and love are not so great for Benji Madden and Paris Hilton. After nine months of labored romance, the celebutante dumped the tatted Good Charlotte front man.
Paris, isn’t this the same relationship you touted for its long lasting love and potential for babies? Looks like it's back rockin’ those tables with your dance moves. We’re sure you’ll have a new beau by the New Year.

Good sexy, bad sexy, old sexy, and just plain sexy.
People magazine has declared Aussie hottie Hugh Jackman 2008's Sexiest Man Alive. The song and dance man stars alongside Nicole Kidman in the Baz Luhrmann epic Australia, which opens next Wednesday.
The timing of this big budget release couldn't have anything to do with why Jackman was chosen as this year's Top Sexy now could it?
We'll let you ponder that PR mystery as you mull over People's other high-ranking hunks, broken down into our own categories.
Jon Hamm (Sexiest Depressive), Daniel Craig (Sexiest Stoic), Robert Buckley (Sexiest Man Candy), Michael Phelps (Sexiest Torso), Ed Westwick (Sexiest Villain), and Javier Bardem (Sexiest Psychopath).
Here's a few sexies we'd add to the annual list:
Sexiest Faux European: Johnny Depp
Sexiest Voice: Clive Owen
Sexiest Man You'd Never Date: Tie between Brody Jenner and Colin Farrell
Sexiest Intellectual: James Franco
Sexiest Daddy: Gavin Rossdale
Sexiest Oldie: Jack Nicholson

To text or not to text. That is the (very important) question.
The informal nature of texting can spell DANGER in a new relationship. Too many texts, a misconstrued text, or an over-eager text can definitely send the wrong message to your guy.
Text No-No #1
You went out with a guy and thought it went great. The conversation was electric, the restaurant was delicious, and the end of night adieu wasn’t awkward at all. After three days of no communication you want to send the “Y hvnt U calld” text. Don’t. If the guy wants to call he will. If you have to chase him down and scold him, he’s not worth your time.
Text No-No #2
Staying in touch with your new guy is one thing, sending him a play-by-play of your life, or asking him to do the same, is trouble. Instead of sending the “OMG what R U doing now” text, send him one that shows you care, or necessitates an actual phone call, but doesn’t require an immediate response. We like, “Drinks? Call me later.”
Text No-No #3
Last, but definitely not least, don’t send a boozy text. “I’m wasted. My place.” only implies one thing. Making yourself too available can cause him to lose interest in pursuing you. If you’d like to have a relationship with this guy outside the bedroom, don’t drink and dial.
